Labyrinth: Spandex, Synths & the Goblin King

from Popcorn Paparazzi Hosted by Popcorn Paparazzi with Sarah & Cassie

This week we’re going full 80s, spandex, big hair, synth vibes, and of course the unforgettable magic of Jim Henson’s puppet creations. We’re stepping into the maze with Labyrinth, where David Bowie is exactly who he’s meant to be: larger than life, effortlessly iconic, and ruling every frame as the Goblin King. We’re sharing fun facts you may have never heard before, breaking down the performances, the practical effects, and the nostalgia factor… and asking the ultimate question: does this cult classic still hold up nearly 40 years later? Spoiler alert: we both think yes. Grab your glitter, meet us in the maze, and listen as we break down why this 80s fantasy trip is absolutely worth your time.
