False Starts: Beetlejuice - Episode 31
Beetlejuice... BEETLEJUICE... BEE... ahhhh we wouldn't do that to you.
We dive into the history of Tim Burton's 1988 masterpiece (if you're in to that sort of thing, which some of us definitely aren't) to find out just why it never got a sequel.
SPOILERS, because it was called 'B**tlejuice Goes Hawaiian' and Lewis has read that whole script so you don't have to. Hear about that inside.

False Starts: Power Rangers (2017) - Episode 30
APOLOGIES FOR THE AUDIO ON THIS ONE
Much like the movie, there may be a good podcast hidden within. But there's a lot of s**t you need to put up with.
We watched 2017's Power Rangers, starring Stickle Brick Walter White. Evil Billy from Stranger Things as a hero(?) and Elizabeth Banks, comped in from a totally different movie.
