About this episode
The episode explores the collaboration behind the 1986 film Labyrinth and its creators.
How did the Star Man, the Star Wars Man, and the Muppet Man come together to make the seminal 1986 oddity, Labyrinth? Join Chris and Lizzie as they get lost in the experimental mind of Jim Henson, young Jennifer Connelly's dispassion for acting, and the remarkable juggling of David Bowie's (crystal) balls. *CORRECTION: Terry Jones was Welsh, not English.
