Katie and Bridget go get their (outside) bushes trimmed as they re-watch the iconic: Edward Scissorhands! It's a story all about an emotastic man/possibly-AI-creation who teaches a small town that disabilities are not roadblocks but rather obstacles to overcome... Or according to Tim Burton, they actually will always lead to DEATH and SADNESS. THANKS TIM! Come along as we meet Edward Scissorhands - he's the guy with the scissorhands, in case you were confused. When he gets pseudo-adopted by an Avon Saleswoman named Peg, he discovers a world full of horny housewives, possibly hard of hearing dads, and a weird love interest with Peg's daughter Kim. This movie asks the deep questions, such as: Does our society ultimately highlight, exploit, and then vilify those with disabilities? What can we as a culture do to better support individuals with disabilities in the real world/in Tim Burton's world? Would these housewives have been completely different people if they all just had vibrators instead!? All this and more in this very Tim Burton-esq film. Released in 1990, it was directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Alan Arkin, Kathy Baker, and Conchata Ferrell.
