Summary
It’s Horrifying 80s Puppet Movies For Children December here on Night Call and we’re kicking it off with Labyrinth. Will Molly dance magic dance for the Jim Henson classic when she sees it for the first time? Will Emily and Tess remember anything weird about seeing it from childhood? (yes) Plus a night call about whether Gremlins is about parenting and whether Baby Yoda is a psy op to boost the flagging millennial birth rate! Also: a fan theory about Star Wars’ Nien Nunb.
