KnockBack, Episode 181: Labyrinth
Added 2021-07-26 16:00:10 +0000 UTCThe 1986 Jim Henson classic film Labyrinth is about a whole lot more than David Bowie's impressive codpiece. And yes: That in and of itself is amazing. But nestled underneath its fantasy, puppetry, and music is a movie about childhood, about growing up and finding your way and letting go. Few movies resonate from childhood resonate more than Labyrinth for Colin in particular, who considers this one of his favorite all-time flicks. And, well... it really is as good now as it was then. Maybe even better. So let's go to the castle on the other side of the Goblin City, and find out what mysteries Jareth has in store for us.

2021-07-27 23:08:03 +0000 UTCThere were apparently a lot of ghost writers on the script (I think Dagan mentioned this).

2021-07-27 15:26:06 +0000 UTCYes, the outdoor parts were in NY. That was obvious to me!

2021-07-27 15:25:46 +0000 UTCSomething you guys didn't mention is that the screenplay was written by Terry Jones of Monty Python fame (he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!)

2021-07-27 06:09:08 +0000 UTCIsn’t this part of the dark crystal series?

2021-07-26 23:27:32 +0000 UTCExcited to listen to this! I was born In the early 90s so It was a little before my time, but discovered it around my middle school years. I soon after realized it is the greatest movie of all time to watch stoned, and watched it with my friends countless throughout high school.

2021-07-26 19:39:04 +0000 UTCSo good. I too have struggled with the thoughts of a remake. Just seems like you can’t do it. What about Madonna or Lady Gaga as a witch harassing a 16 year old male with her giant bejeweled codpiece? (Ahahaha)
Andrew Morgan
2021-07-26 19:13:07 +0000 UTCWe'll definitely get there. Thanks for listening!

2021-07-26 18:28:55 +0000 UTCMine too. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-26 18:28:43 +0000 UTCExcellent episode! Like Large Marge the early nursery scene used to scare the shit out of me when I was young. It definitely adds to the draw. I look forward to the day when Pee Wee's Big Adventure (my favorite film) gets the Knockback treatment
