The juice is, indeed, loose on this Pod!

That’s right, this week we review our highly anticipated BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE! Does it mark a return of classic Tim Burton? Does Michael Keaton still got it in him? Is the film actually good…. Or does it fall in with the rest of the legacy sequels?

These are the questions we ask (and hopefully answer) this week, but before all that we find out what’s so good about that PS5 Pro (and that price tag - yikes) AND everything pro and max and plus about every new announcement out of the Apple event!

Then, not only do we have some new trailers in Wolf Man and The Apprentice, but we have a new sound board, too?! Nice… very nice!

Lastly we dig into what we’re into including Sony’s video gaming champion, Astro Bot, and the love hate relationship that is watching the latest horror/thriller indie darling… Strange Darling!
