Welcome back, dear listeners! We took a brief hiatus so Alex could get his silly laptop in the shop. So now that we're back, after a brief update on what's happened in the world of Broadway, it's onto the weirdest movie we've watched yet: Jim Henson's "Labyrinth," starring minor-age Jennifer Connelly as a feisty heroine, dozens of dirty-looking puppets, and David Bowie's codpie- we mean, David Bowie! This week, we go all in on the plot of this super-'80s movie that just so happened to be a musical. Like, how ridiculous it is that Jennifer Connelly didn't just check her baby brother's diaper, the level of creepiness of a 40-something rockstar romancing a teenager, and how familiar this story and its themes actually were once we got past the Shart Lake City of it all. Join us as we go for a trip into the "Labyrinth"...hope we don't meet any scary headless birds or talking hands!
