  • Episode 72 | Movie Sequel: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
    Oct 24 2024

    The juice is loose once again, and this time, we're going back to the future for the return of one of the 80's most beloved horror comedies. Lydia, Delia, and the Ghost with the Most are joined by a fresh cast of characters--both alive and undead--as they rampage across the mortal plane and the Neitherworld for the sequel without equal, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. We'll get into a million ways to die, jilted lovers, surprise cameos, modern claymation, meet cutes, fabulous musical numbers, clever callbacks, and much more! While you're waiting on hold with a Bob, why not join us on this madcap caper to see how it holds up to the original movie because Dostoevksy put it best when he said... "I love the 80's!"

  • Episode 71 | Movie: Beetlejuice
    Oct 8 2024

    Welcome back, classmates! You thought we were trapped in the podcast afterlife, but we survived the sandworms and checkered hallways to bring you another gem from that radical decade. Join us as we dive into the bonkers history of this classic movie, our memories of it hitting the big screen, and the strange twists as Beetlejuice goes animated, almost Hawaiian, then into the sequel waiting room for over 30 years. We talk ALMOST all things Beetlejuice in this episode, stopping short of this year's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice release. We save those juicy details for the next episode, so you can listen to this one without any worries of sequel spoilers. So grab your handbook, draw a chalk door, and walk with us into the glowing light for a dark comedy adventure with Burton, Keaton, Ryder, O'Hara, Davis, Baldwin, Elfman, and more!

  • S4E8 | Music: We Are the World
    Dec 24 2023

    In response to a once-in-a-century drought and famine in Ethiopia, Harry Belefonte, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, and Quincy Jones assembled the ultimate cast of legendary musicians to come together one top-secret evening to record the best-selling single in America and pop music history, “We Are the World.” Their passion, talent, and efforts not only brought short and long-term aid to struggling communities throughout Africa, but set an incredible precedent both for musicians from astoundingly different backgrounds to create art together and for music to strive to create real-world change on a global scale. So sing along with us as we revisit this incredible moment in pop culture and close the yearbook on our Senior Year of 80’s High. Season 4 of 80's High is sponsored by Choose Your Own Adventure!
