In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, Tanya and Erin venture into the bizarre, iconic world of Beetlejuice (1988), Tim Burton’s cult classic starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Alec Baldwin, and Geena Davis.

They dive deep into the film’s eccentric charm, unpacking the psychological and intergenerational themes hidden beneath its quirky, dark humor. From the symbolism of the Maitlands’ home and the absurd bureaucracy of the afterlife to reflections on family dynamics, depression, identity, and personal struggle, this episode explores why Beetlejuice still resonates decades later.

With a mix of nostalgia, pop-culture commentary, and therapist insight, Tanya and Erin also speculate on what a sequel could hold and why characters like Lydia Deetz and Delia Deetz remain so psychologically compelling.

Whether you’re revisiting this spooky favorite or watching it through a mental-health lens for the first time, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on a film that’s far deeper than it appears.

Tune in for a fun, thoughtful discussion that will make you see Beetlejuice in a whole new way — just don’t say his name three times.
