The myth of the Minotaur is a tale where everyone gets punished except for the guy who actually pissed off the gods. Is that why we rarely see the full Minotaur myth retold in modern media? Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) discuss how this myth is secretly really sad, the importance of tighty-whities, and why Minos super sucks.

Also, DJ imagines a labyrinth with something much more frightening than a man-eating monster inside.
