I loved this terrible movie. Full disclosure, I could not be a bigger fan of the original, so I was very worried about seeing this movie because I could not imagine enjoying a part 2 this many years later. The good news - it was very true to the look and feel of the original (which was so weird 80s fantasy). The bad news - it wasn’t well done other than that and some of the casting/acting. It was great to see Catherine O’Hara reprising her role as Delia and Willem Defoe was fun/ Jenna Ortega was great as Astrid (the daughter - you might have seen her in the new Wednesday Adams series, which is excellent). Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton were solid.
Some of my favorite bits - you’ll know it when you see it (in no particular order):
1) The soul train!
2) The sock puppet sand worm!
3) Dostoyevsky!
4) Poor Bob.
5) The piranhas 😱
