Summary

Teresa Lee returns to Frame Rate! In this episode, the gang discusses the philosophical and symbolic efforts of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. Why is Jareth doing this? What are the goblins? What does the Bog of Eternal Stench represent? It couldn’t be as simple as buttholes, right? I mean, it really seems like it philosophically represents somebody’s butthole, but we should go deeper. Teresa’s there to take us on the journey of how Labyrinth can still influence and impact adults, as it was her first viewing! Abe and Michael, to no one’s surprise, wore out VHS players with this tape.

treason on this episode, which is their quotient of Teresa, because Teresa Lee is also here with us. Hey Teresa.

1:12.0

Well, I like treason. That's cool. It's almost like, uh, it sounds like it would be like in a museum to describe, like one of those cards to describe an old pot.

And I got to say you picked a movie that has so much emotional power in my life.

2:35.0

2:43.0

You know what I mean? It feels so me. And then I, and I like, I know a ton of people who liked it that I'm like, I had a totally different idea of what it was.

2:51.0

Like I don't know why, but I thought it was going to be very scary. And like, I think I got to confuse with some other movie.
