Best Tim Burton Film
Since making his big-screen debut directing Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure in 1985, Tim Burton has become one of the most signature voices in American cinema. Over the course of his 20 full-length features, he has created an instantly recognizable style. You know a Tim Burton movie almost immediately, whether it’s Batman or Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice or The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood or Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd or Mars Attacks!, or, god help us, Dark Shadows or Planet of the Apes. Now, nearly 40 years into his directing career, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to decide: what IS the Best Tim Burton Film?
Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Bob Erlenback, Jim Czadzeck, and Kate Racculia discuss the best films directed by Tim Burton over his four-decade career in this special Patreon-sponsored episode.
