Tim Burton has brought Johnny Deep, his wife (Helena Bonham Carter), and Danny Elfman back to the theaters. Thus marking it the 8th time Johnny Depp and Tim Burton has worked together. Also, marking the idea that Tim Burton really needs a new box of tools for his art projects. We’ve seen Johnny Deep trying to be dark and creepy several times before. But it really has made me not care about Burton or any of his movies. Yes, I used to be Burton fanboy, but now I just feel angry. Sean Gandert and I talk about Tim Burton and debate whether somebody should take away his favorite “go-to” film favorites. Dan complains that he’s “made attracted” to a 15 year old and Kristin calls in (because Brian ruined this weeks recording) to give us her 2 cents on Dark Shadows. Also Russell calls in, and Brian runs the board. This is all in a days work of The Directors Cut!
