🪲 May I recommend seeing “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” before we part? I saw the sequel to the 1988 movie “Beetlejuice” and it was delightful. The movie is so fun and weird, and Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Michael Keaton, Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, and Jenna Ortega clearly had a blast making it!
