Summary

Goblins and faeries and bulges oh my! It's The Wizard of Oz by way of Jim Henson in the 1986 cult-classic Labyrinth. Donna didn't discover this one until college, Carlos had hazy memories of it that were all mixed up with scenes from The Neverending Story, and Chris saw it when he was too young to retain most of it and didn't watch it again until he was in his early 20s.

It's often imperative to be introduced to movies like this at the right age or else you run the risk of not getting what all the fuss is about. Despite the fact that none of us had a particularly deep connection with this film as children, that wasn't an issue here. We all loved Labyrinth and still do.

Topics include: the filmmakers disinterest in the real world segments which result in a clunky first 10 min and a cloudy overall message, earlier versions of the script that depicted Jareth as a more menacing opponent, how the film's initial failure effected Henson, our mixed feelings about the songs David Bowie wrote for the film and how they're used, our attempt at making sense of the "one always tells the truth and the other always lies" sequence, and much more!

0:00.0	Hey guys, it's Chris. Before we get started, I just wanted to drop in and mention a few things here. The main one being that our podcast is officially one year old. So happy birthday to us. We actually, we brought this up when we recorded this episode, but there was a ton of stuff. I wanted to say that I forgot, and some of it was
0:21.6	pretty important. So I just, I had to take that section out of the episode, and I'm just going to
0:26.2	throw in all that info here, and I've got a checklist to make sure that I don't miss anything this
0:31.9	time. So for starters, I, you know, I obviously want to thank Donna and Carlos for being a part of this.
0:38.7	They have added so much to the show and helped it become so much more than I could have
0:46.2	imagined. So a huge thanks to them and a huge thanks to all of you, all of our listeners.
0:52.7	Our subscribers and the number of downloads has grown
0:57.0	steadily episode to episode, and we're really, really excited about that. And we've been receiving
1:03.8	some really nice emails and messages on Facebook, and it's sort of weird, but also really cool
1:09.2	that the three of us sometimes talk about you guys,
1:13.1	like, we know you, like, you know, oh, hey, did you see what so-and-so posted on our wall?
1:18.2	Oh, man, typical Jerry.
1:20.7	I don't know who Jerry is.
1:22.1	That's not a real guy.
1:24.2	I mean, there might be a Jerry who listens to our show, but he's not, he's not on our Facebook page.
1:29.7	The hell, Jerry. I thought you were a fan. Get your shit together. But no, seriously, thank you guys so much.
1:35.1	And I know Donna and Carlos would want me to extend their thanks to you as well. This has been so much more fun than I could have anticipated.
1:43.1	And a big part of that is all of you.
1:46.5	And if you're wondering what to get us for our birthday, I know anniversary is the more appropriate
1:51.7	term here, but birthday sounds more fun. So if you're wondering what to get us, and I think it's a
1:56.4	pretty safe bet that you weren't, well, I will tell you anyways. So this is inspired by our most recent
2:03.8	iTunes review, which I believe was left by our listener, Tyler. And what I loved was that he started
