#173 - Labyrinth

This week Liam and Zac venture to a far, far away land where hell smells real bad, and David Bowie himself presides as the Goblin King. This is Jim Henson's Labyrinth, a cult classic family/horror movie from 1986. Starring a young Jennifer Connelly as she traverses a fantasy land and meets a fellowship of diverse characters, the story actually does somewhat resemble the Wizard of Oz. A key difference however is the fact that the craftmanship on display is still second to none, as almost 40 years later the majority of the film's characters are brought to life through exceptional puppeteering. They each look amazing (with a special shout-out to the GOAT Ludo). But there are some weird moments for sure. So if you're just as confused about the ending of this simple kids film as we were, then definitely tune in to hear us solve the hidden themes and mysteries of the Labyrinth in real time. We really should have just called this episode 'Labyrinth Explained'.
