Labyrinth

Though dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, on this episode we celebrate 40 years of the babe with the power, as Jennifer Connelly braves her way through Jim Henson's "Labyrinth". Full of astounding designs, puppetry, humor, and iconic songs from a mesmerising David Bowie, while Labyrinth was not an immediate financial success, the film's undeniable awesomeness has proven it still has power over you. We're joined by guest Josh Covel of the Still Loading podcast (and our co-host on the Jim Henson retrospective podcast "Still Muppeting") to celebrate one of the greatest movies of the 1980s. Come inside, and have a nice cup of tea!

Be sure to also check out our monthy musical podcast, "Playing By Ear" (https://playingbyear.fireside.fm). If you enjoyed this, it's also part of our aforementioned limited-run Jim Henson Series, "Still Muppeting" (www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod).

We also had the pleasure of recently guesting on The Pop Break's retrospective on Beck, "Podelay!" specifically covering his album "Guero". Head to www.thepopbreak.com to listen.

Next week we'll be on the Table Top Hot Takes podcast (https://tabletop-hot-takes.captivate.fm/) discussing Final Fantasy IX.
