Prepare to laugh along with behind-the-scenes tales, like Howard Stern’s surprise at his similar concept, and discover how yodeling music hilariously saves the day.

We share our thoughts on Burton’s highs and lows, from the eerie allure of "Sleepy Hollow" to the polarizing "Planet of the Apes." The trading card origins of "Mars Attacks!" add a fascinating layer to our discussion, while we debate Burton’s transition to CGI and its impact on the magic of his earlier works.
