An incredibly special episode! I talk to the talented, intelligent and passionate Tom Christophersen about one of our seminal childhood films, the 1986 Jim Henson classic 'Labyrinth.' We really get INTO IT in this episode. We talk about the incredible technical achievements in this movie, the magic of puppetry and practical events, and the underrated genius that is Jim Henson. Beyond that, we talk about this film as a queer allegory, an extraordinary coming of age story, and an exploration of smashing the patriarchy. Topics of discussion also include the morbidity of kids movies from the 80s, David Bowie's clearly visible penis, and the alternative universe where this movie stars Sting and Jane Krakowski.

My Patreon bonus episode this month is further discussion with Tom, where we get into our shared childhood memories, the importance of creative arts expression for children, and what their big influences were as a young person on who they are now.
