Ep 223: Be Kind Rewind (Labyrinth)

David Bowie stole a baby and we're here to talk about it. This week on Be Kind Rewind, Dave, Cody, & film professor Paul Walcher revisit Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986), the cult classic that bombed at the box office, broke its creator's heart, and then became one of the most beloved fantasy films of a generation. We dig into what holds up (the puppetry is better than ever, Bowie is magnetic, that soundtrack still slaps), what doesn't (the story can't decide if it's a fairy tale, a space opera, or a dungeon crawler), and the surprisingly deep spiritual allegory hiding behind the glitter and goblins. Bonus: the guys break down the Taylor Frankie Paul saga and play the Movie Game.
