In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” Movie Review

Rated PG-13
Opens: September 6, 2024
Kevin says Beetlejuice Beetlejuice kinda rocks!
With all the reboots in Hollywood, it’s no wonder Betelgeuse is rising from the grave.
It’s been 36 years, and BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE drops us in on the Deetz family after their patriarch has died. Lydia, her step-mother Delia, and her estranged daughter Astrid return to their old home only to discover their old pal Betelgeuse is reaching out to them from the underworld.
Even with the return of most of the cast, director Tim Burton is clever enough to not just retread the original story. We do get a standard plot about a family in strife, and this can feel a bit mundane. But what makes the movie tick is the title character causing chaos and havoc.
At least the film strikes a good balance with this.
Things get off to a clunky start, but the film delivers the off-kilter goth humor we all want without relying solely on nostalgia.
It’s got a lot of energy, though it’s not nearly as fresh as the original film. But honestly… could it ever be?
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE gets three three and a half half ghosts out of five five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
