Atreyu! Falkor! Moon Child! Character names were perhaps the least weird thing in 1984’s The NeverEnding Story. Loaded with multi-headed townspeople, rock-eating rock people, sad horses and more, the fantasy film dazzled kids and enchanted adults. Now, decades later, does the world of Fantasia still fascinate? Brian is using his “Birthday Episode” to force Christina to endure the 94-minute movie. Did Christina love it? Does Brian still love it? And did the filmmakers kill a horse? The Old Roommates set Brian’s birthday cupcake on fire and revisit the wonders of this cult classic. Listen to this.
Bonus content including an outtake from this episode as well as Brian’s interview with his husband, Carl who had a personal and up-close experience with Falcour available at patreon.com/oldroommates!
