Hello and welcome back to what went wrong And action.

Hello, and welcome back to What Went Wrong, your favorite podcast, Full Stop, that just so happens to be about movies and how it's nearly impossible to make them, let alone a good one, let alone a cautionary tale about what happens when you're a dick to your parents who just want to go out to dinner.

I am one of your hosts, Lizzie Bassett, here as always with Chris Winnerbauer and Chris.

What codpiece do you have for us today?

The biggest codpiece ever bestowed upon millennials and Gen Xers.

The movie that defined or confused the sexuality of at least one and a half

generations, the reason I wake up in a cold sweat every time I hear Starman, this is Labyrinth.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth. I'm really excited to talk about this movie. We went pretty deep on this one.

It's going to be very fun. Great. I can't wait. Lizzie, had you seen Labyrinth before? And what were your thoughts upon watching or rewatching it for the podcast? Yes, of course. I've seen Labyrinth before. I've seen Labyrinth many times, although, you know, I don't know that I had focused heavily on it before. It's not really what Labyrinth is for, I don't think. But I saw this probably for the first time in college. I don't know why I didn't watch this growing up. Oh, you didn't watch it as a kid. No, I didn't. And which is weird because my parents both love David Bowie and we love The Muppets. So I don't know, maybe because this is horrifying is why, but... Never the two show meets. Yeah.

So I didn't know, maybe because this is horrifying is why, but...

Never the two show meets. Yeah. So I didn't watch it as a kid. I watched it in college. My roommate in college loved Labyrinth. And so we did watch it quite a bit then. And it's one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. I have a lot of questions. I can't wait to get into this. Question number one, was David Bowie only available for 10 minutes? And is that the amount of time that he spent on both the songs and on set? Number two, what are those horrible, horrible feather dragon fox creatures that kick their own heads around? I hate them. I've always hated them. The fireies. We do have a little section on them, actually. Okay, great. They're the stuff of nightmares. I do not like them at all. This is so interesting because it's like, they make very clear that it's not a movie for children, I think, pretty early on in this. And then you're like, who is this for? Which is fine. And I love it and I enjoy it. And I am a big fan of Jim Henson and puppets in general.

So this is very much right up my alley. But yeah, the first thing Jennifer Connolly says is she's

trying to recite the line. And then she goes, damn. And I was like, whoa, bad kid, a movie for

adults. The only thing that was unpleasant about this viewing was that the little baby, Toby, looks exactly like our daughter Eve.

And pretty much all he does over the course of this movie is just scream and cry amidst a sea of the most horrifying puppets you could possibly place around a baby. But yeah, I love it. You know,

the music, it's not good. Dance Magic Dance is very fun. That's the only song I can remember in the

entire thing. The final song is so bad. It's like I was laughing watching it because I was just like,

David, David, you did not. This was your lowest effort, which is fine. He's allowed to do that. He's David Bowie. But that's all I have to say about this. I absolutely love it. I can't wait to get into it. I expect to hear from you what your favorite character is, and I will tell you up front that mine is Sir Didymus.

Ambrosius.

It is Sir Didimus and Ambrosius.

Okay.

Ambrosius is arguably the hero of this movie, which, you know, we can discuss. But, yes, it is the two of them. I absolutely love them so much. Yeah. So what about you? So I did watch this as a kid quite a bit. There was like a quartet of movies, three in particular, that I've watched a lot,
