    Beetlejuice – Ghosts, Grown-Ups & a Dash of Dark Humour
    Oct 30 2025

    It’s showtime! 👻 This week on Couch Critics, Kirsty and Neil open the creaky door to Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice — and realise it’s a very different film when you watch it as an adult. From dark humour to deep themes of belonging (and the afterlife!), they uncover the hidden heart beneath all that chaos and quirk.

    Expect plenty of laughs, a few counselling-style insights, and a nostalgic nod to the animated Beetlejuice series — because who knew the cartoon and the film were so different?

    Hit follow, share with a film-loving friend, and get ready for more Halloween nostalgia before the big festive countdown begins! 🎃🎬

    Oct 29 2025

    It’s spooky season on Couch Critics and we’re diving broom-first into one of Kirsty’s all-time favourites – Hocus Pocus! 🧙‍♀️✨ From Sanderson sisters to sentimental moments, this film has it all. Kirsty shares why this magical movie means so much to her (and her cat Binx 🐈‍⬛), while Neil discovers that beneath the spells and sass, everyone’s really just trying to protect their families.

    Join us for plenty of laughs, unexpected emotional insights, and a few classic counselling-style light-bulb moments as we unpack friendship, fear, and a bit of Hocus Pocus magic.

    Don’t forget to follow, share, and leave a review — and keep your eyes peeled for our Christmas Advent Calendar series coming soon, with one festive film a day! 🎄🎬
