Welcome to Movie Monday. This month, we finally got around to Jim Henson’s Labyrinth from 1986. Starring Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, this musical fantasy was not the box office success I believed it to be.

This episode features contributions from:

(in order of appearance)

Jason Connerley of Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast (podcast, blog)

Joe Richter of Hindsighless (podcast)

Goblin’s Henchman (podcast & blog) & the Umber Bulk

Karl Rodriguez of The GMologist Presents… (podcast, YouTube)

M.W. Lewis of The Worlds of MW Lewis (podcast)

Lex Mandrake of Dank Dungeons (YouTube, itch, Bandcamp)

Here’s that rather bizarre clip mentioned by Lex with Jennifer Connelly on Saturday Superstore in 1986.
