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

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!

many people.
Oh, speaking, let's talk BJ.
So back when they were doing theStar Trek reboot Prime Timeline
