We've got everything you need to know on how to watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice right here, and read our Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review to see what we thought of it.

Here's some more background on each of the questions:

Over or under 1 Oscar nomination for Winona Ryder in her career? 

Winona Ryder has two Oscar nominations in her career, and they came in back to back years. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1994 for The Age of Innocence and then Best Actress for 1995's Little Women.

Which of Winona Ryder’s breakout 80s movies has a higher rating on Rotten Tomatoes: Beetlejuice or Heathers? 

Ryder's breakout came after she starred in Beetlejuice and Heathers. While more people may be familiar with Beetlejuice and it was well reviewed, earning an 88% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Heathers bested it with a very impressive 95% "Fresh" score.

True or False: The age gap between Ryder and Zachary Quinto, who played mother and son in 2009’s Star Trek, is 6 years. 

This is true. Ryder was born in 1971, while Quinto was born in 1977. The reason for Ryder being cast when she was so close in age to Quinto is likely because she appears more in flashback scenes with a young Spock, so it would then be easier to use makeup to age her up then cast another actress.

Which famous director has Ryder not worked with: Martin Scorsese or David Fincher? 

Ryder has not worked with David Fincher. They both did do an Alien movie, but Fincher directed Alien 3, while Ryder appeared in the follow-up to that entry, Alien: Resurrection. Meanwhile, Ryder starred in Scorsese's The Age of Innocence.

True or False: Ryder and Keanu Reeves were married for real on the set of Dracula? 

This one deserves an asterisk, but according to Ryder it is true. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly promoting the movie Destination Wedding she starred in with Reeves, she talked about how Francis Ford Coppola was so detailed when working on Dracula that he had a real Romanian priest perform the wedding scene of Ryder and Reeves' characters. No paperwork was officially signed, but depending on how you view it, their marriage could have been legitimate in the eyes of the church. They are least have some fun with it, as the two apparently call each other "husband" and "wife" when texting.
