THE DREW REVIEWS PODCAST - EPISODE 20 & 21: Oscar-baitin' - The 1990s and 2000s

Oops. Forgot to post the '90s episode last week, so here's both the '90s and the '00s eps for your listening pleasure!

Our Oscar snub series continues into the decade that gave us Nirvana, The X-Files, and Tamagotchi (two out of three ain't bad). There are lots of great movies to cover, but only two get picked. Spoiler alert: Neither of them are Independence Day.



Continue onward for the 2000s episode!

THE DREW VENUE - EPISODE 4: Tim Burton, Charles Manson and Lots of TV Shows

In this episode, we pick apart the filmography of Hot Topic poster boy, Tim Burton. There's also a lot of TV discussed, as well as a continuing inability to maintain a train of thought.
 

31 DAYS OF DREW - DAY 27: BEETLEJUICE

Every horrorhound's favorite month is upon us, and to celebrate, I'll be dishing out a personal pick from the genre for every day in October. Some will be obvious and rather unoriginal (sorry that I like movies other people like), while some will be a little more oddball and off-the-wall. Some may even challenge your idea of what constitutes a "horror" movie. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the month with some good movies, even if they aren't ones I recommend!

Today's Pick: Beetlejuice (1998)

Before getting swallowed into remakes and pre-packaged properties like Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton was a very special voice when it came to ghoulish filmmaking. And besides his crowning artistic achievement (that'd be Ed Wood), I don't think there's any argument that Beetlejuice is his best film (Edward Scissorhands takes a very respectable third place). It showcases his signature style while not becoming overpoweringly distracting, and the material seems tailor-made for Burton's childish love of the macabre.
