The ScottyDontX Show

Episode # 25 - Beetlejuice 2 and the Battle of Nostalgia vs. Freshness

ScottyDontX

Ever wondered how much a sequel can rely on nostalgia before it loses its spark? That's the big question in Episode 25 of the Scotty Dune Text Show, where we give you our spoiler-free take on Beetlejuice 2. We grapple with the fine line between honoring a classic and keeping it fresh, and let’s face it, talking about movies without spoilers is a tricky business! We also revisit the Star Trek reboot era, examining how prequel comics and extended trailers shape our viewing experiences. Whether you're a fan of avoiding spoilers like the plague or you’re okay with a little sneak peek, there's a lot to chew on here.

Besides our movie musings, we've got a fun little side note about why a food called "gargle up" doesn't exist (yet), and we promise it’ll give you a chuckle. And hey, we’re always active on social media! Catch us on Facebook and Instagram at Scotty Don’t X for more updates and behind-the-scenes fun. This episode is filled with nostalgia, spoilers (or lack thereof), and random yammering that you won’t want to miss!

Speaker 1:

Scotty Dune Text Show. Episode 25 More Random Yammering. Beetlejuice 2 Review. It's on the theaters. No spoilers.

Speaker 1:

I liked a lot of it. Some of it's like wow, how hard can you lean on the old stuff before it becomes unpalatable? Wow, Movie reviews suck If you don't have any spoilers or anything. I suppose I could talk about stuff in the trailers, but then that puts me on the BJ Shay road where, oh, it's in the trailer. I didn't could talk about stuff in the trailers, but then that puts me on the BJ Shea road where, oh, it's in the trailer. I didn't spoil it for you and well, yeah, you ruined it for many people. Oh, speaking, let's talk BJ.

Speaker 1:

So back when they were doing the Star Trek reboot Prime Timeline, Kelvin Timeline there were prequel comic books. So avoided those because I was avoiding spoilers and BJ on his show talks about this, that and the other thing. It's like spoilers. It's like, well, no, it was out there in the material. And, yeah, I chose to avoid the material, just like I choose to avoid extended trailers and with things coming out, oh Well, agree to disagree. Somebody has a radio show, Somebody else has a podcast. I think we're going to let success speak for itself and I'm going to have a big glass of gargle up. How come nobody's made a food called gargle up?
