About this episode

The episode explores the film Labyrinth, discussing its themes, connections to other works, and the chemistry between its leads.

This week we dive into the world of the weird and wild with the twists and turns of Labyrinth ! We give you all the Jim Henson love you could ask for, connect this movie to Dark Crystal , and cue listeners in on what's down the pike for Labyrinth lovers. But beyond that, this is a movie that Rach tries desperately to understand what the hell is happening, and Ty spends over an hour grappling with some of the most enticing chemistry in movie history between leads who are thirty years apart. And they both can't stop staring at a certain accentuated codpiece. This ain't your father's Fraggle Rock . Welcome to Labyrinth !
