The Reel Rejects - Extended Version: LABYRINTH (1986) MOVIE REACTION!! David Bowie | Jennifer Connolly | Jim Henson
Episode Date: January 6, 2026DAVID BOWIE AS THE GOBLIN KING!!! Labyrinth Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Coy & Roxy emb...ark on a CLASSIC '80s Fantasy as they give their Labyrinth Full Movie Reaction, Breakdown, Analysis, Commentary & Spoiler Review! Roxy Striar & Coy Jandreau react to Labyrinth (1986), the beloved fantasy cult classic directed by Jim Henson and produced by George Lucas, a film that blends fairy-tale adventure, surreal imagination, and iconic musical moments into one of the most enduring fantasy experiences of the 1980s. The story follows Sarah Williams (Jennifer Connelly – The Rocketeer, Requiem for a Dream), a headstrong teenager who accidentally wishes her baby brother away and must journey through a magical, ever-shifting labyrinth to rescue him before time runs out. Ruling over this strange world is Jareth the Goblin King, played by David Bowie (The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Prestige), whose charismatic menace, elaborate costumes, and musical numbers have made him one of fantasy cinema’s most unforgettable villains. As Sarah navigates riddles, traps, and bizarre creatures, she encounters loyal allies like Hoggle (Brian Henson – Return to Oz), Ludo (Ron Mueck – creature performance legend), and the chivalrous fox knight Sir Didymus (David Shaughnessy – Star Trek: Voyager). Iconic moments include Bowie’s electrifying opening number “Magic Dance,” the Escher-inspired staircase illusion, the Fireys’ anarchic dance sequence, the haunting “As the World Falls Down” ballroom fantasy, and Sarah’s final declaration of independence that redefines the film’s fairy-tale moral. With Jim Henson’s groundbreaking puppetry, Brian Froud’s creature designs, and a timeless coming-of-age message, Labyrinth remains a cherished fantasy touchstone that continues to captivate new generations.

I've never seen Jennifer Connolly look like this.
She's one of my first crushes.
I was like 10.
I was like...
David Bowie is in the movie?
David Bowie's top build in the movie.
I really love Bowie.
Fellow citizens of the reject nation.
We are sitting down to watch an all-time classic.
It is time for labyrinth.
Roxy, what did you just ask me?
Is this Pans Labyrinth?
Why no, Roxy?
This is in no way affiliated with Pan's Labyrinth and is quite the different film.
It's really a classic?
It's, I've seen this as a youth.
I haven't seen it in more than 20 years, so I feel comfortable in saying it's a classic.
People know it, but I don't remember it enough to, I will own that I have seen it, but it's been some time.
You know that little about it.
This has completely missed me.
I have, this is, I did not know there was a movie called Labyrinth that was not Pans Labyrinth.
I think I thought people were abbreviate.
There are probably millions of people that this is their favorite movie of all time.
Oh my God.
This is going to be a zeit guy shift for you.
I just asked, is this an animated movie?
You guys are like, no.
What?
I don't know what this is.
I'm so excited for like, there are people in this and there are moments.
So we're watching Labyrinth.
I admittedly saw this in high school and earlier.
I had it on the background when I was an artsy college kid, but it's been 20 years for me.
Roxy knows that little about it to the point of not even knowing who's in it.
How are you today as you prepare for your first Labyrinth?
I'm really excited all of this on yours.
It's been not a good day.
So, Labyrinth away.
I'm so, I'm more excited that I didn't know that you didn't know anything about it.
So I'm excited now.
It's going to be me watching you watch this.
You're excited that I'm excited that you're excited.
I'm excited for them to watch us be excited.
We're diving into Labyrinth in three, two.
Labrins.
So we're watching this on Disney Plus.
It is, oh man, it's by a company you know.
In addition to TriStar, there's a big company that's involved.
And this is amongst their most iconic films.
Is that company Disney?
No, but it's a similar vein.
It's Fox?
When you see the logo, predates.
It's Henson and Lucas film?
This is a Jim Hemson film.
I can't believe that.
And pre-Disney Lucas.
Is it puppets?
There are.
Oh, I'm so excited.
It's giving Fragal Rock.
You know?
David Bowie?
I was hoping you'd see him first.
Bowie what? Is in the movie?
David Bowie's top build in the movie.
What? This is how I discovered...
Jennifer Conley. What's happening right now?
This is how you discovered David Bowie.
Yeah, before music. I was exposed to him in this and then discovered his music.
Jennifer Conley and David Bowie did a movie called Labyrinth that is a Jim Henson movie
with Lucas Films that's on Disney Plus. Okay. I've now caught up.
This song slaps.
What's up with these owls?
I've leaned all of the way forward.
We had to do a focus check before because we knew this may occur.
I didn't remember it opened with an immediate Bowie song because I wouldn't have known then.
And Frank Oz, holy crap.
Are we going to recognize his voice?
I don't remember who he plays.
Greg was like, don't look it up.
And I said, okay.
And he said, you're going to know who it is.
And I was really worried that I wouldn't.
But you'd be like, wait a second.
I feel like I should know this.
No, no.
You know this.
Because you're like a big Bowie person.
I really love Bowie.
I love rock and roll.
music.
Jim Henson directed this movie.
Did you know that?
This is so formative to like most people's personalities
our age.
Look at the Howell Landing.
Oh my God, this is giving ever after?
She's one of my first crushes.
I've never seen Jennifer Connolly look like this.
She is a literal child.
I was like 10.
I was like,
Give me the child through dangers untold
and hardship.
Is that okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Thought my way here to the castle
beyond the goblin city
to take back the tomb.
Child that you have stolen.
I would have no idea that was her.
For my will is as strong as yours.
And my kingdom is as great.
This is film?
This is crazy.
Oh, it's only film.
It is crazy.
Yeah, obviously.
It's 80s.
My kingdom is great.
See young Jennifer Connolly.
I can never remember that line.
Oh, you're learning a playbib?
I don't remember if it's like Princess Bride where the book is in the story.
This feels like Secret Garden, Princess Bride, ever after.
Oh, that feels like Peter Pan, the dog.
That looked like Nana.
It's seven o'clock.
That was a little bit of a weird ADR moment, but I don't care.
Is this in New England?
I was just, we always ask, and most of the time it's not.
But we always get excited.
I know we were just talking about Salem, but that kind of looked like a...
It does look like mainstream a little bit.
That looks promising.
really
I'm sorry
Well don't stand there in the rain
Come on
Alright
Oh
Not the dog
What it's pouring
Go on into the garage
Oh buddy
Now that I'm an adult
I totally get where the mom's coming from
Oh it still hurts
But
It's a nice house
It's a very wet dog
It's a very wet dog
I ask you to babysit
Only if it won't interfere
With your plans
Well how do you know
You don't know what my plans
Oh
You're kind of bratty
I mean, when you're a kid though
Evil parent
Look at that Bob
You're home
We were worried about you
I can't do anything right
Can I?
It is funny because I definitely wouldn't have
identified the parents
Any of their watching of this
But I see what you're saying
For sure
But she said I only ask you to babysit
When you don't have other plans
I want you to go out and live your life
But she also said we never ask
And she said every weekend
That's true
She could be a lying B
Oh where the wild things are
Big fan of that
I have ever watched the most
movies since theaters. I hope it holds up.
It's a good question. Oh, I have that.
Though you turn each side and it goes
this way or that way in your little marble.
Wizard of Oz, Snow White. All the references
we said at the top. What's
all this mom stuff? Oh, her mom was an actress.
I think.
Or she just feels like
that's her mom.
We fed Toby and put him to bed. We do have to leave now, but we'll be back
around midnight. You really wanted to talk
to me, didn't you? Practically broke
down the door. It's a very reasonable thing.
They just did all the work for you.
Someone has been in my room again
What is up with her?
I hate it
Are we supposed to be on her side?
I assume because of the age I was
But I don't know
Someone save me
Someone take me away from this awful place
Superman
Peter Pam
Oh my god
How long's he been crying
Once upon a time
There was a beautiful young son
Whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby
So I guess that was her mother
And the baby was a spoiled child
And he won everything for himself
And the young girl
Was practically a slave
That's not what it's given
You've got it pretty nice
Jennifer Connolly
Her room is great
Was that the king of the gobbins
Had fallen in love with the girl
And he had given her
Certain powers
So one night
When the baby had been particularly cruel
To her
Can somebody help this baby?
She called on the goblins for help
Listen
Is that Frank Al
Is that Frank Ol
Words the Goblins said
and we'll take the baby to the goblin city,
and you will be free.
Maybe we're supposed to see her a spoiler,
then that's her arc.
But the girl knew that the king of the goblins
would keep the baby in his castle
for ever and ever and ever.
Because the baby's doing nothing wrong.
And what she's saying is crate.
It's a real baby.
It's a real baby.
One night and she was tired from a day of the house.
But at the same time, like she's telling a story.
I'm saying this actor is a little bit.
Oh, no, no. That real human is crying.
You know how long the shot took.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, I'm hoping the ADR to most of it.
Look at the eyes, Koi.
But I'm hoping they did coverage on the baby
And then she was acting with an empty room
Because that was a lot of coverage
I must say
I wish
This is going to say it
I love these puppets so much
They look great
Goblet King
Wherever you may be
Take this child of mine
Far away from me
I believe that, rubbish. It doesn't even start with, I wish.
I believed it. I was worried for the baby.
Me too.
I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now. That's not hard, is it?
Like, where are they?
Yeah, like, where are they? Are they in the closet? Did she just hear them?
I wish. Because she wished she knew it to say.
Yeah.
She said it.
Right now.
No more crying. Oh my God.
Oh, no. Like, is this a cautionary tale for young girls that are babysitters?
Is any of this striking a memory?
with you or no? No. Not yet. I remembered
she was in it because I had a crush arm when I was a
kid but like I don't remember. I see why
even though she's obnoxious.
She's cutie.
The horse is rocking.
Why aren't you crying?
Okay so I also haven't seen Pan's labyrinth.
Is he similar?
It's a lot darker. It's a pretty intense movie.
Ooh.
Oh.
Cool.
I feel like she should be looking
way more afraid right now.
Yeah, there's literal
goblins.
She's kind of like, huh, huh.
Crazy puppets in my house.
I guess she never gets a full look at him.
I want him to speak so bad.
What's said is said, Coy, isn't that true?
Please, where is he?
You know very well where he is.
Please bring him back, please.
But you said the goblin kid, King fell in love with you?
It's a crystal, nothing more.
But if you turn it this way, it'll show you your dreams.
But this is not a gift for an ordinary girl.
Is that magnetized?
How are they doing that?
It's a sleight of hand.
He's like, it's a skill.
do you want it
then forget the baby
his heterochromy is incredible
it is that I don't appreciate
what you're trying to do for me
but I want my brother back
care
Sarah
don't define me
bless you
or whatever not religious thing
we should be saying
I think Gazuntite
means to good health
I don't know
my brother says banana
I respect that
you're no match for me Sarah
but I have to have my brother back
is there in my castle
amazing
it's so cool
with the mazes
yes
never ending story vibes
the castle beyond the godland city
turn back sarah turn back
before it's too late
I love the makeup into the eyebrows
it doesn't look that far
it's further than you think
time is short
he's spitting truth
over and over
I think when I was a kid
I thought he was speaking
like Shakespeare but he just speaks cool
did you know who that was at all
no that's what I mean
I found his music by like the guy that was in
Labyrinth.
That's crazy.
But I would have been like seven.
The labyrinth doesn't look that hard.
Well,
come on feet.
Because it was this dark crystal
and Princess Bride
that all had that similar vibe
for me as a kid that I'd watch a lot.
Princess Bride is my fave,
fave, fave.
Yeah, it's one of my favorites of all time.
Did you watch Dark Crystal as a kid?
It's another Henson.
I remember.
this guy.
Excuse me.
Oh, excuse me.
Oh, it's you.
You think that's Frank Claus?
I think so.
Can you help me?
Oh.
How sweet.
57.
How could you?
What do you do?
Kill it?
I don't even know what just how...
Oh, she bit him?
What did you expect fairies to do?
things. Yeah, what?
Like granting wishes.
Shows what you know, don't it?
I guess.
I'm Hoggle.
Who are you?
Sarah. That's what I thought.
Why'd you think that?
Do you know where the door to the labyrinth is?
Oh, maybe.
Hoggle's a dope name.
Really is.
If you're a real one, you'll name your first kid, Hoggle.
Not that much for real one.
Sorry, I'll own it right now.
How do I get into the labyrinth?
Now that's more like it.
The language play is fun, like the directing
and of being direct
I don't know if she's caught on to that yet
because Bowie always the specificity, him
and the goblins
would you go left or right
right Clay right right right
you're not going to get very far
which way would you go? I wouldn't go either way
which way should I go
You know your problem
You take too many things for granted
That's so true about her
This is why she had Wizard of Oz
Now it's Hoggo
And don't say I didn't warn you
Did she call him Hogwarts? She did
She said Hogwarts years before it existed
Do you think there's any way
I mean it is a gobliny vibe right
Like it's fantasy
I wonder if that wasn't like a hog
A wart on a hog might have existed
But like it wasn't Hogwartsworts yet
cool
googly eyes
man the character design is so rad in this
yeah this is very fall of the yellow brick road
and who she meets along the way
we had that wizard of Oz thing so
I'm kind of thinking we're going to get to our tin man
our lion our scarecrow and
maybe it builds off of fantasy she knows
because what were the other ones that we saw
Peter Pan no you mentioned Peter Pan
was snow white or snow white was there
and she looks like snow white yeah
That visual is gorgeous
I wonder how much of it they built
And when the painting starts
The sparkle on the walls is interesting
Because
Like to keep things wet
You have to use oil usually
But it's not dripping
And the sparkle on the trees
Yeah
And the lighting on this must have been so difficult
Because where are you lighting from?
Everywhere
I am just taking it for granted that it does
You take a lot for granted bit
Synth.
It's weird to watch a movie
that you haven't seen
in 25 years, 30 years
that you watched a lot.
So this was on often.
Yeah.
But I have no memory of the movie,
but this image in my mind
that that looks familiar.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like glimpses.
There's this movie that I watched a lot
called Thumbolina.
Did you ever hear of that?
I remember a single one.
I just remember the cover.
Oh, a little caterpillar guy
Oh, he cute
Did you say hello?
No, I said hello
But that's close enough
You're a worm, aren't you?
Yeah, right
You don't bring a chance
Another way through this labyrinth, do you?
Very happy we have subtitles on
Now I'm just a worm
Come inside, meet the missis
But there aren't any turns or any old
Openings or anything.
It's full of openings.
It's just you ain't see them.
I'm just across there.
It's right in front of you.
There's a push against it.
That's just...
Whoa, there's no way through.
It's not always what they seem in this place.
It's like platform nine and three quarters after Hogwarts.
She stole the whole thing.
Hey!
Oh, that was a cool visual.
Really cool.
Don't go that way.
Never go that way.
Oh, thanks.
Cool
You should have kept on going down that way
Should have gone straight to that castle
That was really awesome
That awful illusion was crazy
I think one of those rocks
Had Bowie's face on it
Oh
This is a different crying baby
Because you didn't care that he was crying before
Okay, coy
Are we starting to feel bad for this?
The actor? Yes, but there's no PETA
for babies yet
we need to look up who played toby and where he is now i hope he's doing well this would be
i mean what traumatizing these are all puppets right yeah i mean in between hopefully they're
gogo-gagai maybe they just pinch him before every shot puppets bowie and a chicken there's a lot
going on so many puppets
power of voodoo you do remind me as the babe
And babe.
Yay, happy baby.
They had to work really hard to get that one shot with a smile.
Crying hard as babe could cry.
What could I do?
It's crazy to not know that any of this music was in.
I'm now kind of curious, was it made for Labyrinth?
Oh, I think so.
I think he composed like Prince did for Batman.
What kind of magic spell to use?
Sline and snails or puppy dog's tails.
Because these lyrics are, for labyrinth.
And baby said,
I love if I've ever seen Baby 80R before.
Yeah, that was wild.
I like the curly hair girl.
Oh, she's vibing.
Look at your glow of eyes.
She's absolutely vibe.
We're singing, we're gobbling in, we're going through the labyrinth.
Oh.
Is it going to twist it?
Yeah.
Oh.
He's a friggin' ardvark.
Your mother is an ardvark.
I like that character.
I don't know what's going on, but I like it.
Oh, babe, you're trying to be smart,
but you're not playing by the rules of the place.
Like, look behind you.
Is it a monkey?
Do you see how many hours are on the clock?
We were just playing by different rules.
I think there was a 13 o'clock on there.
Balling.
I hope it's twins like they sometimes do, and that way only one trauma at a time, but that
baby's been through it.
For days in a row.
For years, they've been developing like a labyrinth sequel, and I can't imagine in today,
like other than traumatizing babies, what it would be.
Sobing.
That's straight up Bowie just trying to make this kid stop crying.
Yeah, yeah, they're like, let's film it.
Let's toss this baby.
Doesn't matter that you're out, babe.
There's two of them now.
Someone has been changing my marks.
What a horrible place this is.
It's not fair.
Oh, Alice in Wonderland.
This was a dead end a minute ago.
No, that's the dead end behind you.
That puppet is awesome. Those are so cool.
The only way out of here is to try one of these doors.
One of them leads to the castle at the center of the labyrinth and the other.
One leads to certain death.
Bopo-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bom.
One of us always tells the truth, and one of us always lies.
He always lies.
I do not.
This is amazing, quite.
I love it, because he can be lying.
He could be telling the truth that we wouldn't know.
It's so fun.
Answer, yes or no.
Would he tell me that this door leads to the castle?
Clever.
Yes.
Then the other door leads to the castle, and this door leads to certain death.
They could be telling the truth.
But then you wouldn't be.
If you told me.
If you told me that he said yes, I know the answer is no.
But I could be telling the truth.
But then he would be lying.
So if you told me that he said yes, I know the answer would still be no.
Is that right?
I think I'm getting smarter.
This is a piece of cake.
Oh!
Oh!
That's a cool visual.
Stop it.
Help!
What do you mean, hands?
We are helping.
We are helping hands.
They're helping hands.
hands
well then
come on
which way
up or
down
we haven't got
all day
cool
since I'm pointed
that way
I guess I'll go down
she
you came from up
uh
was reasonably safe
that's very
snow white
hmm
hmm
she should have
given up by now
she'll never give up
the dwarf's about to lead
back to the beginning
she'll soon give up
Where's the baby?
Well laugh
Well laugh
I feel like telling that to people all the time
I made a joke
Come on
Also Wizard of Oz
The big fish eyes are fun
Especially the puppets the next scene
Look at the glitter
Only the hole
This is an obliette
Labyrinths full of them
The woo
Makes me think it's Frank Oz
Yeah
The pitchiness
And also
Who would he be in it if it's not him?
If not the other lead.
But if we didn't see his name, I never would have guessed.
Nope.
But it gets a lot worse from here on in.
They de-aged him.
I am, that's all.
Nice young girl.
Why are you so concerned?
Is like the spirit of her mom in you or something?
Don't you?
She's going to bribe him?
Ah.
I'll give you this.
You give me the bracelet.
And I'll show you the way.
out of the lappery.
You were gonna do that anyway.
That's what would make it up
particularly nice.
If you won't take me to the center,
take me as far as you can,
and then I'll do it on my own.
From my mom.
Plastic?
I'll take as far as I can.
Oh, cool.
I don't know.
It's like their friends episode.
Oh.
How did they do that?
It must be because when we flipped
and then we turned back.
Yeah, you open one side.
Yeah, there's the other side.
This is the light.
That's really cool.
There's so much like practical.
Go back while you still can.
This is not the way.
This feels like a Disney theme.
Yeah, it really does.
Like going through a ride.
It's like very Indiana Jones.
This must have been so much fun to work on.
I know I keep harping on the glitter,
but it's just because also like they must be using little
light as glit because
I think they're shining light on surfaces
to reflect off it.
Oh, that was cool.
Thank you very much.
Oh, no.
What have we here?
Nothing.
Nothing? Nothing.
Oh, that was cool.
Can it be that you're helping this girl?
I was taken back to the beginning,
Your Majesty.
But actually, is that plastic thing
round your wrist?
I don't know who believe.
Right?
If I thought for one second that you were betraying me, I'd be forced to suspend you.
I know, your majesty.
How are you enjoying my labyrinth?
It's a piece of cake.
Why would she say that?
It's not fair.
You do say that so often.
Oh, I wonder what your basis for comparison is.
His dialogue is fantastic.
I feel like asking so many people that.
That was so excellent.
it's not fair i wonder what your basis for comparison is
i'm gonna use that coy that's a really good line
says it all because this is not fair
this actually isn't fair but before but you having to watch your baby
brother for a night when you had no other plans a little fair
you being expected at a certain time you agreed to pretty fair
a soaking wet dog going into the garage first a little bit fair
them trying to talk to you before they leave you with their
child. Pretty fair.
You're trying to bang your door down? What?
Ha ha! I love that it's worked by like Muppets.
I love the details and everything. Like, that wasn't just a thing going down the hallway.
It was operated by four of them. That's cool.
I told him I was taking you back to the beginning. Just to throw him off the sin.
How can I believe anything you say?
You have no choice?
What choice you got?
It's the only time I ever believe anybody
when I have no other choice.
Yeah, then that's the only option.
Follow the yellow brick road.
That's such a pretty set.
What?
Yeah, very secret garden, Alice in Wonderland,
coded.
I don't know how many of these sets
are still, like, around, like, pieces of...
How did they glitter everything?
Everything.
Now, don't try to embarrass me.
It's like little twinkle lights, maybe.
I don't think there's lights in it.
I think there's shining light on,
sprayed sparkle and everything.
It might be, but look, I don't know.
Because see, that's shimmering.
It's not emitting.
There are twinkle lights, though.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's probably a combo of things.
It's so cool.
It's not fair.
No, it isn't.
But that's the way it is.
It's not fair, but that's the way it is.
Learning important lessons as a youth.
Yeah, because what's your basis for comparison.
Ah, she remembers this minute.
Can you help me?
I hate, I hate what we're looking at.
This ostrich number?
they both are sentient
it makes me think he has
an ostrich as a slave because why
I think the ostrich
has a man that he commands
it might be because the ostrich is leading
I have to get to the castle is it's like
I think they're in symbiosis
it is an amazing design
The way forward is sometimes the way back
Is that a man in a suit or is it a puppet?
I think it's a puppet
I'm certainly not getting anywhere at the moment
It's got to be multiple people operating that
That's incredible
Please leave a contribution in a little box
Don't you dare
Them's mine
I guess I can spare this
Big or a couple of suckers
Why did you say that
About my being your friend
Because you are
You may not be much for a friend
But you're the only friend I've gotten
Oh no
We had nights
Oh my god
I like that
Oh that's great
I wonder if we never run into
That'd be amazing influential
That nope
That friendship was short
You're my friend or not?
No, no, I'm not.
He looks after himself, like everyone.
Are you my friend or not?
I am not.
That is you, quite, too.
I am not.
Not to me.
To others.
Are you my friend or not?
Not.
I am not.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to go.
I'm a head out.
The thing about that is, but I am a head out.
It's healthy.
It is, boundaries.
Orangetang?
It's awesome.
But he's hung up.
It's got like horns.
Oh, he's so cool looking.
Oh, let him go out, get him down.
Oh, I like this guy.
If only had something to throw, she asked for it, and it comes to her.
She's got to do more asking.
It doesn't she realize?
Altruistically seemingly too.
Like, at what point are they going to be like, where are these rocks coming from?
I don't know if they have the brain power.
They're like literally numbered
I know thing one and thing two
This is one of the most whimsical movies I've watched
A long time
There should be more Halloween costumes
From this movie
There might have been in the 80s and 90s
Is that any way to treat someone
Who's trying to help you?
There's probably Bowies
And we just didn't clock it
Oh he is a delight
Ludo down
Ludo
What happened to Ludo?
Is that your name
Seemed like such a nice beast
It's interesting
thing making us like slowly more endeared to her. Well, she's changing. Yeah, she's taking lessons and
growing. Oh, Ludo was awesome. Look at him. That's right, Ludo. I'm Sarah. That's a never-ending story
face. We're seeing her be nicer to him than she's ever been to anybody ever. Well, she did call
hoggle her friend. She did, but she took some effort. Yeah. Just a second. I want to ask you
something, Ludo. Of course she wants something from you. I have to get to the castle, the center of the
No, it's a lot of the way.
No.
Yeah.
Where did they come from?
Hmm.
It's a lot of fun in the edit and the production design combo.
Oh, other one.
It's very rude to stare.
I'm sorry, I was just wondering which daughter choose.
He's no good after him.
He's deaf as a post because it goes through his ears.
He's his ears.
That's amazing
Good to get that thing out
He's no good talking to him
He's deaf as a poe
Mamble, Mamble, Mamble
Where do these doors lead
Search me, we're just the knockers
Knock and the door will open
He has so many interesting
Like different characteristics
She did love her dog
Yeah, it's got a very dog-like energy
It's kind of mean
Yeah it is
Now he's trapped again
Isn't this very Princess Bride
This is for sure
Going to go into the bog
Yeah
And he's alive you little chap
I think I'll call him Jarrett
If Bowie called my kid Jarrett
I would rename my kid Jarrett
I believe you
I think that'd be a real thing
That would happen
Imagine a big thing like you being scared
But it's nothing to be afraid of
Oh
Ludo!
But it's literally Princess Bride
Yeah, is this the pit of despair?
Yeah.
But sparklier.
Oh, that's cool.
Wow!
Yeah, that optical illusion was incredible.
Sick, sick.
Oh.
Oh.
For one moment, I thought you were running to help her.
Not after my warnings.
would be stupid.
Oh.
Ah!
Ha ha ha ha ha.
I've just noticed
your lovely jewels are missing.
Oh, yes.
But first,
I'm off to take the little lady
back to the beginning
of the labyrinth.
I've got a much better plan.
He has like...
Underwear pants,
boots, and a leather jacket.
It's an interesting texture combination.
Give her an apple.
It's very snow white.
Mm.
Or is it a peach?
It looks like a peach.
Yeah.
Oh, come, come, come.
Oh.
You don't think a young girl could ever like a repulsive little scab?
She said we was.
Boosom companions?
Weird lie.
If she ever kisses you, I'll turn you into a prince.
Prince of the land of stench.
What a specific threat if she ever kisses you?
What's going on?
What are these guys?
How have you forgotten this, Koi?
This feels like something you'd never forget.
This is like, these are my favorite guys so far.
These guys in Ludo.
This is like where the wild things are, kind of.
You just green screened the whole.
I love how high energy and chill they are.
These guys are amazing.
I'm gonna download this song
They're like rasta energy
And meth energy and I love it
So when things get too tall
And even down looks up
Bad luck
They like glow and like paralysis demon ways
Come on
They're huge
It's wild
I thought they were like this big and zoomed in
That was his biggest Jennifer Connolly.
Take off of a head.
Yeah, yeah, let's take off of her.
Hey, lady, that's his head.
Hey, that's my head.
Now they're small.
It was because they were upright, I don't know.
We on drugs, baby.
All of the drugs I haven't done.
We on drugs.
Are in that scene.
The fire people are fascinating.
You've come to help me.
Kiss her.
Kiss him.
Nope, the Prince of Stench.
Don't kiss me, don't kiss me, because that's a real thing, babe.
That's true, that's true.
Is Lugo okay?
I'm worried.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, farting, belching, the river.
Does it smell the fart acting?
It's important training.
Joey Tribiani taught us that.
as a kid i would have thought this was the funniest i just fart noises as a scene is genius
for a hinson movie oh my god imagine going into that i know you came back to help me and i know that you're
my friend i just come to get me property back give you uh give me what don't give it to her
She's going to save you
Ludo
Ludo
Under you
Wizard of Oz
with the two feet under the house
Ah, I could catch
Oh my God
There's a bridge
I feel like we've got to pick up a third friend
If we want to do the Wizard of Oz reference fully
Is Ludo the lion
Yeah
And Hoggill's the tin man
I feel like Scarecrow.
Oh, okay, I see that.
Oh.
Is this our third friend?
Possibly.
We've got to get out of this dance.
Smell bad.
Oh my God, he can't smell it.
I smell nothing, but I live by my sense of smell.
I'm sworn to do my duty.
Little dog creature
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.
I can conquer this mountain.
Oh my god
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Little scrappy doo of this universe, I don't know if you're gonna make it, man.
it, man.
Sir didimus.
There's our third, third.
Didimus.
I cannot let you pass.
But you just said Ludo is your brother.
I have taken an oath.
I have sworn with my life blood.
No one shall pass this way without my
Can I have your permission?
Yeah.
She's learning manners and gratitude.
To ask for what she needs.
How's Ludo going to get across?
Oh, and she's rough.
He's a cowardly lion. He doesn't know what to do.
Oh, no, he's calling rocks.
Oh, he's helping?
The rock moved.
He's summoning.
Is he like a rock god?
Did he do the rocks earlier?
All of the practical stuff in this is so sick.
It really is.
there's an entire 10 minutes
week it's to farting in this movie
it's all right
and Brutus you can come out now
Is that going to be her dog
Toto? Oh it's a different dog
But it's Toto
He is Toto and he rides it
He's got a harness
Saddles
That's the word
What a cool practical Muppet
All right now that's our crew
For the rest of the movie
Just as soon as Huggle gives him my present
And she'll forget
Everything
What if that baby's the director, like his son, like man-made moon?
Like, what if that's Duncan Jones?
Because I think Duncan's our age.
That would be crazy.
Maybe we can find some berries or something.
Berries.
It's a line from Thumblina.
I've thought more about Thumblina today than I have most of my life.
Wow, you gave it to her like that.
Stay strange.
Hugo, what have you done?
Use context clues.
dancing
This is like the poppies
Ah, poppies
That's a horse of a different color
Oh, we got multiple now
Is it for each one of them?
Oh, that's a cool effect
I wonder how they did that then
Turn into like a floating
On wires, yeah
That's cool
That's cool
Is that her as her mom?
I don't know if it's like another reality
Looked like what her mom looked like in those things, right?
Good catch.
They didn't even realize she's not there.
I just realized I get invited to this party sometimes
and I never go called the Labyrinth of Jarrett and it looks like this
and I didn't realize it was in reference to a movie
every year in L.A., there's this party called Labyrinth of Jareth and I've never been
but people dress like this.
Next time that you invited, you have to go.
So people do dress like this.
There's a whole party for it.
Where is it?
It's in LA.
It's like a big, like a bowl.
Who's throwing it?
No, I just get invited to like Facebook group.
My friends go.
I've never been.
But it's called the Labyrinth of Jerrith and he's...
Now I get it.
I'm a little nervous because she was like the king falls in love with me.
And she's a child and was just drugged.
Yeah.
And people really didn't like that I had an issue with that for interview with a vampire.
Oh, with Kirsten Dunst?
Yeah, she's just so young.
Yeah.
I mean, I think Jennifer Connolly's like 14.5.
She's a child here.
There's no way she's of age here.
I mean, I don't know.
As the thing sweeps through, makes no sense for you.
The transition was interesting, because now we're like in the castle, I assume.
And she's, yeah.
But I'll be there for you as the world falls down.
Her hair.
It's so good.
This whole outfit.
Make up hair, dress.
That is so cool.
His dragon's dope too.
Sick.
Huh.
Spiky all over, Mollet?
Yeah, I was thinking Spiky Mollett.
It's got some height to it.
What an unpleasant sensation, but with beautiful music.
Like, what an interesting vibe this scene has.
Like, overwhelmed, paranoia.
Yeah, you got to, like, shake the drug.
Oh, is she in the bubble?
Cool.
She'll never forgive me.
I've lost my only friend.
That's what I've done.
She's going to forgive you so fast.
Oh.
You can't look where you're going if you don't know where you're going.
Helpful.
Well, look here.
That's what?
Oh.
Thank you.
That's what you were looking for?
A long time ago.
And now she thinks she's done looking,
then she'll go home.
And see, if there's anything else you'd like.
I definitely trust that laugh.
Yeah, for sure.
That's what I'd follow.
All right, I'd literally home.
Sometimes you have to go back to go forward,
but that's pretty far back.
It was just a dream.
Also very Harry Potter.
But it was so real.
Escher?
I don't know.
Not a dream
Here's your panda slippers you know how much you like your panda slippers you never wanted their throw away did you there they are
Everything she's around as a kid oh it's little horsey you love little horsey don't you
Also just showing us how much she was given how much she has and how much she wasn't grateful for what she has is a really good point
Here's dear old flopsy you'll want her right there you go wizard of Oz
Yeah making sure we see it
And now she's getting burdened like the old lady with things.
Yeah.
I fought my way here to the castle.
Beyond the goblin city, take back the child that you have stone.
Yeah.
What's the matter my dear?
Don't you like your toys?
What the red lips?
Very snow white red lips.
Mm-hmm.
It's not junk.
This is not junk.
Yes, it is.
Ooh, cool.
The paradigm is breaking.
And, yeah, all the facades crumbling.
Oh, we go right back.
Her friends found her.
She's not going to want to go without Hoggle.
Hmm.
Those are the gates to the Goblin City.
Let's go quickly.
We don't have much time.
Nope, never mind.
To the Emerald City.
I bet if there was the internet when this came out,
it would have been like the wicked crap.
a passionate fandom cool it's in form one like mecca thing
it's a gundem it's a gundum what a cool I can't tell the scale of a lot of the
stuff I think it changes oh it surely does but it works
Because it's all imagination.
It feels like a Sega video game.
Hoggle!
Redemption for Hoggle.
Oh, Koi.
That's just like Wizard of Oz.
It's behind the curtain.
Yeah.
Yeah, Hoggle.
Hoggle's the man.
Doing the work. Get him, Frank Oz.
Part of me wonders that the dog is Frank Oz.
Oh, maybe.
I think it's Hoggle, but...
Well, this is Hoggle kind of has the...
Yoda thing at sometimes.
Totally, but do you hear the...
Listen to the dog.
I think it's hoggle though
I'm not asking to be forgiven
Sherrith made me give you that
peach I don't care what you think of me
I think you are ashamed you got feelings
I totally I was a coward
cowardly lying in that maybe
Ah
Rarely have I seen such courage
You are a valiant man
Do or do not there is not try
Hoggle and the friends
Now there are a whole bunch of friends
Here are your things
Hogle thanks for your help
Cute
these sets are beautiful insane do you think this is all done indoors i have to imagine
because you like the lighting and the control of everything they have i mean henson studio bought
chaplain studios down the street that's the whole studio set they've got to the gates
and they're on their way to the castle call out the guard take the baby and hide it oh no
there's no place like home.
I think it's too direct,
but it would fit.
The miniatures and the cannons at all.
This is a painted sky.
It's so cool.
Puppet fight.
Ambrosius don't give a F.
Ambrosch out.
I think we've got them surrounded.
I think we've got them surrounded.
He's the best.
I love when Ambrosius is a puppet too and they make him shake and then it cuts back to the regular dog.
Ah!
Ah!
Ha ha ha ha!
Tallyho!
Tallyho.
Oh.
Ambrosius!
He's so good
Got a point
Open the side of the house
The house is rocking
I mean when you build practically
Like this
Ugh
That's insane
It's so pretty
It looked like they were using miniatures
But I don't think they are because
They can't hear
Oh my god
Had enough have you
Throw down your weapons
And I'll see that you're well treated
I'm like my favorite character driver
I need the confidence of that man
The dream
The dream
Throw down your weapons
I'll see that you're well treated
Okay cool
I think John is Jennifer Connolly
A brat
No but like someone that's all true
Yeah this part of Jennifer Connolly
Like a noble leader
Thoughtful
navigating the world.
All right, he can call rocks.
He's bowling.
Yes.
Hit them with your best shot.
I think they filmed it in reverse
so they could land where they wanted them.
I think they...
Whoa, Nellie.
Pugh, pew, pew.
What are you going to do with that rock?
Yeah.
Pue, pew, pew.
This is exactly Wizard of Oz.
I have to face him alone.
But why?
Because that's the way it's done.
If that is the way it is done, then that is the way you must do it.
Exactly.
I mean.
Exactly.
It is.
Should you need us?
A call.
If that's the way it's done, then that's the way you must do it.
Sir Dendemus.
Sir Dendemus.
19, whatever, this came out.
Yeah.
Call, because you need them, girl.
That is so cool.
How'd they do this?
I wish I remembered the name of the painter, but yes, it's awesome.
Cool.
He's in the upside down.
Awesome.
Precious thing.
Whoa.
Cool.
Just as I can be so cruel.
Cool.
That was definitely in reverse, obviously.
Yeah.
I can't live within you.
Baby sitting's going to feel so easy after this.
She'll be grateful to spend time with her baby brother.
Without being in a painting or a labyrinth.
Leap of Faith.
That's really cool for 30 years ago.
Give me the child.
Sarah, beware.
That fit, though.
He's a feather man.
I can be cruel.
What have you done that's generous?
Everything that you wanted.
You asked that the child be taken.
You coward before me.
I was frightening.
I have reordered time.
I have turned the world upside down.
A little bit of gas lighting.
I am exhausted from living up to your expectations.
Isn't that generous?
Through dangers and toll and hardships are numbered.
I have fought no way here to the captain.
Recied it, man.
Now you have the power.
Look what I'm offering you.
Your dreams.
And my kingdom is great.
I ask for so little.
She didn't even look.
I can never remember that line.
Just fear me, love me.
Do as I say.
And I will be your slave.
Fear me, love me, and do as I say.
You can't go up on your lines now, babe.
You got to remember.
You have no power over me.
When did the parents say they were coming home.
By midnight, I think.
Oh, he's just been sleeping.
No crying for this baby.
Oh, and now selfless.
A lot of good lessons for kids in this.
Really good.
I don't think of Jim Henson as a director,
but there's so many crazy visuals and accomplishments.
The mom stuff is interesting.
There's a background.
Oh, and there's Jarrett, but like visually.
Yeah, yeah.
She's putting her away.
Oh!
No! She's like it was all real.
And remember fair maiden?
Should you need us?
Yes. Should you need us?
Cute.
This is exactly Wizard of Oz.
This is perfect.
I love that they're in the mirror.
You're my favorite of all.
For no reason at all.
I need you.
Cats the musical.
Why didn't you say so?
I hope you.
I don't know.
Amazing.
Muppet Parker!
Mumpin party.
Her parents are like, what the?
What's happening upstairs?
Yeah, fire guys.
I do.
Does anyone want to play a game of Scrabble the last line of the movie?
I hope so.
Yep, I think it's where we're at.
You'll remind me of the babe, babe with the power.
What a journey of madness that was.
No, see, Hoggle was not.
Brian Henson.
Frank Oz was the wise man.
Who's the wise man?
What?
The one that she gave the ring to?
Yeah.
I think.
That's crazy.
We were very wrong.
Very wrong.
All right.
Well, that's hysterical.
Was Labyrinth.
A movie Roxy didn't even know existed
until an hour and 45 minutes ago.
No idea.
We have just experienced Labyrinth for pretty much the first time as an adult
and the very first time for me.
I want to thank the fine folks at Prepper
for editing this down and editing that.
I want to think the fine folks that are patrons
for watching this in its entirety
like you were sitting on the couch next to us.
There's also exclusive watch longs over on Patreon
that John and Greg do just for those rejects.
Any good discounts on teas like these.
We're going to get to the Patreon questions here in a second
because you guys guide the conversation.
We appreciate your questions.
Help us know what to talk about.
We're going to get to those in a moment.
But first, for your first labyrinth experience,
what are your initial thoughts?
Man, this is so up my alley.
I understand why Greg said,
like, I saved this reaction for you
because I can't believe I didn't know this existed.
That's bold.
I'm a huge, huge Wizard of Oz girl.
That's probably, and I'm a musical theater girl.
So, like, not that this was,
it's hard to refer to this as a musical
because it's not,
because nobody's ever singing.
Like, it's not really...
Mouths and his own words.
Right, right.
So there's like one song.
What is that?
It's very music-based, though.
So I could understand why somebody would call it that.
But the Wizard of Oz references are so...
There's so many parallels, obviously.
They do that on purpose.
It's not like...
They're clearly paying homage, which is great.
And then on top of that, I'm a big Bowie fan.
And it's really cool to see when somebody gets their start,
like Jennifer Conley,
natural instincts are so strong.
So this is super duper up my alley.
I want to say it didn't disappoint, but that would be the wrong thing because I had no
expectations.
Yeah.
I get why some people think this is their favorite movie all the time.
That's what I mean, like there are a million, like this is a huge thing in pop culture.
Yeah, I get that.
How did you feel?
It was fun.
It was weird because I hadn't seen it since I was so young that there were moments that
feel like almost like when you read a kid's book that you read as a kid to like someone
else like i remembered images but not context for anything so like you didn't remember a lot of the
character i didn't remember anything i didn't remember any of the characters journeys but i remembered
like the images of that clearly the long thing in the labyrinth left to mark because that was one of the
strongest images um i remembered kind of her bedroom um i remembered like the the distortion of time
and space because i remember being confused that's about it so like it was cool because those
are just fragments of ideas of memories so i got to you know re-experienced something in a very
different way because this was on a lot when I was a kid my my parents are big uh dark
crystal and Jim Henson and like they're into that world a lot like their my parents are artists
so I can see that when they came out here I brought them to Henson Studios and like I have friends
that work for Henson so I got to show them like this world and they were so excited because
obviously when I was this age they were in their 20s because my parents had me so young
I know I know so they would have been the perfect age for this so like I think that was really
special to watch and understand the context of my parents loving the Hinsons
because this would have been why they showed me it.
So it's cool to be an adult and revisit something
my parents clearly wanted me to live as a kid.
Did they say that they love this movie?
Do you know?
I know they do.
Because this and Dark Crystal were on all the time.
Wow.
We're also a big Fifth Element House,
which has a lot of cool puppetry.
We also like Wing Commander, which is a lot of cool puppetry.
Haven't seen, haven't seen.
Whoa.
There's so much cool puppetry you haven't seen.
Yeah, I have a big whole.
Wing Commander is Matt Lillard and Freddie Prince Jr.
That's cool.
And they're awesome in it.
So I was in a movie.
MCSher.
I call, I said it.
I knew Escher.
You said, see, see.
I was close.
I was like, yeah, sure, I was close.
I was in a movie, sorry.
Those are the last things I wanted to catch.
I was in a movie last year that was called Crest that the main character is a, is a puppet.
And it's a sock puppet that the woman that puppeteered it was from Jim Henson's company.
And so I spent a lot of time asking her about it and like, and she would like fix it up.
They're like one man bands.
Like she would like come with her sewing glue, like all this stuff.
And then she would do it.
And it was about like 45 pounds.
Wow.
It was heavy.
Yeah.
And I would have a hard time lift.
This girl was under tables, through the, like, whatever, watching.
I went on set every day even when I wasn't shooting because I thought it was so cool to watch.
And watching how she would maneuver it.
Just give me so much of more respect.
And I want to watch more thing with puppets because it is like the hardest thing you could possibly do.
It's insane.
I mean, that's so many.
I know some people.
Don't understand hyperbole.
Yes, exactly.
No, no.
It's hard.
work on oil rigs in there.
Anything.
Anyone's ever done.
I think that it's harder than what I do.
Let me say that.
Like, even just lifting something for, I mean, it's hours and hours.
It's 12 hours a day.
And like, figure out every facial move and all of the stuff.
And being coordinated while it's that heavy while, sometimes even like emoting and speaking
and acting.
Right.
And I did not realize.
And knowing the angles.
Like that they make their pup, they do the puppy.
It's really crazy.
So watching this, I feel like I had a new respect for a lot of them and seeing just like
the emotions and the,
it's so cool and 86 like I'm trying to I'm trying to see how old Jennifer Connelly is
because she was like starting her career obviously I lost my phone somehow um but like I have
no idea um like you know how far along Bowie into his career obviously like he's around in the
70s so he's first build and he's established but this might have been Jennifer Connolly's first thing
how old was she this is what we need to know yeah I'm curious okay so and also I need to know
about the glitter that these are the two important things and then we'll get to patron questions
Jennifer
Okay, I'm looking up
Labyrinth
What year did this movie come out?
86
And she was born in 1970
So she would have been 15
When they filmed it 16
When it came out
Okay
So I was right
Like I said 1415 I think
Yeah, you did
That makes it a little weird
But there was never any like line crossing
So you know
Yeah
That's true
I can't think how long she's been at this for
Yeah since I mean 86
Oh yeah
I didn't look at what her first credit was
But yeah
I mean, she was so impressive, like you said, her instincts, her sensational, and just her presence.
Like, she has to lead a whole movie, and it's got to be, like, whimsical and balancing tones,
and there's so much going on, like, just magnetic.
I need to know, this is my actual Google search.
How did they do the glitter in labyrinth?
I am fascinated by the response, because I'm not sure that is a commonly Googled question.
This is sorry, this is AI.
Oh.
The glitter and crystal ball, magic, and labyrinth wasn't CGI.
Thank you.
Thanks.
In 1986, it wasn't computer generated
because computers were the size of rooms.
It was achieved with practical effects
and master juggler, Michael Moushian,
who stood behind David Bowie,
hidden by his cloak,
performing intricate contact juggling with his arms.
How crazy is that?
Okay, but that was with that, the illusion.
I want to know about this set.
This was her seventh credit.
She had done six things.
She'd been in something in 19,
she'd been in a show in 82,
a Duran Duran music video.
Uh, yeah.
So Jennifer Connolly, killing it.
People also ask, how much glitter did they use in Labyrinth?
Here's the answer to that.
While there's no exact measurement,
Labyrinth used a massive, almost uncountable amount of glitter and sparkle effects,
particularly for Jarrett the Goblin King's costumes like his feathered sleeves and shiny tights,
and for magic effects contributing to the iconic fantasy look with puppeteer Brian Fraud
and designers creating countless sparkling elements through the precise quantity,
though the precise quantity remains.
It's a delightful mystery, much like the movie itself.
That's a cute answer.
Yeah, it is.
I'm just obsessed with the glitter.
I'm sure the comments are like, why the fuck can't she stop talking about the glitter?
Why much glitter?
How did they do the glitter?
I just, I loved the glitter.
I'm a glitter girl.
You're a musical theater kid.
Yeah, totally.
The owl in the title sequence is computer generated.
The first attempt at a photo realistic CGI animal character in a feature film.
That's cool.
I mean, it didn't look photorealistic.
Why didn't you respond like that to my glitter?
Glitter is the coolest. That's the lead of the film. Glitter, Bowie Connolly. Duh.
Huh. Yeah, obviously.
Well, those were our initial labyrinth thoughts. I want to know what you guys want to know from us.
Let's check out the Patreon Questions.
Let's do it, dude.
I'm curious. First up, we got Brie Garcia.
Thank you, Bree. Wow, I can't believe you guys are watching one of my all-time favorite movies.
Like I said, millions of people. Some people think I've tried to show the film tour and I'll put off by the puppets, especially seeing them in 4K now as opposed to Greenie TV.
set from the 80s how did the practical effects and puppetry land for you all without nostalgia perfectly
i couldn't have liked it better there there was like no moments even when things looked a little
funny it's the 80s it whimsy yeah perfect i'm glad i didn't watch it necessarily in 4k we streamed it
uh i imagine it looks better on an old tv something i've been thinking about doing and this is me
being a millennial weirdo is um i want to get older TVs for like some of my tv watching so i can
watch stuff on VHS and I can watch stuff that isn't sometimes when you upgrade stuff too much it does
take some of the magic away one of the things uh me and my fiance are talking about doing with our
kids we don't have kids yet but when we have kids is um I want to raise them on 80s and 90s TV
because it's less stimulating and it's less like schizophrenic and messy and I think that is a better
way like the pacing of this is so different than today's kids movies um but I also think like older tech
is a little cleaner um so I want less screens that are like modern stuff and having an old TV and
VHS player is one of the things I want to do so I would like to watch this like this or less
res so it feels more magical and you know I feel you on that like the TV thickness should be
at least a foot yeah yeah I need to not be able to lift that fucker yeah remember that man so dope
and like the ones that were like a VCR underneath the TV and the kitchens of course at the kitchen
TV which was the screen was six and a half inches and it was just as thick super thick and like
the ones when my first friend got like a TV in his car like for the backseat that was like
oh your friend's rich do you remember um the the first time they put out those little DVD players
changed lives and like vans and stuff it was crazy work it was like you flip it open it was amazing
yeah that's what i want back uh captain fernandez thank you for the question they have been
trying to make a sequel for years and now it looks like robert eggers has been tapped to direct it
given that david bowie is not only are with us do you think a sequel should pick up with the original
left off or going a new direction with different characters um i kind of don't feel like this lends itself
to a sequel i understand why they'd want to do it but like is the sequel jennifer conley has a kid
and the kid wishes something and then they go and it's not david bowie and instead it's somebody
else i had a cough and then read j rushin's question which we're going to get to and it threw
me completely off because i was just thinking like what would i want a sequel to be and all of the things
in that were like so flabbercasting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that.
I think Robert Eggers would do a really dark, sinister take.
That would not be like a sequel.
It would be like a kidnapped baby in a demonic world.
Like Robert Eggers doesn't speak whimsy to me.
Yeah, that's true.
So I'm okay with the sequel, but kind of it's like just do a different movie then.
Yeah, I would just say like if you're going to do a sequel, do alien to aliens, but even more extremely different.
Yeah, okay.
Like in the world of Labrint.
It would actually, you haven't seen it, but it would be more like Pan's Labrant.
but yeah uh robert eggers i've heard that as well um i know there's been a lot of different
directors attached over the years i don't know if them having him attached is any more real than the
others i don't know where it stands but i love bowie as this character and i didn't remember
why i did have that instinct but i love boi so i think that'll be hard for a lot of people
that are really attached but we'll see all right uh nicky sonrisa thank you very much
hope you enjoyed the movie such an iconic 80s movie that helped raise us millennials what's your
favorite song from the movie.
Well, it's like all the songs that I love kind of actually have a little bit
darker lyrics about having a crush on a kid.
The babe,
yeah, the baby.
Well, the power of voodoo.
I think that was about the baby.
Remind me of the babe.
Okay, good.
So I think that's my favorite.
I also think it's about a baby.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
Voodoo,
voodoo.
And also, that's the only one that I kind of like have an inkling of like, I think I've
heard that in the wild.
Like, that song has a little resonance.
yeah and then our last one here jay russian this what made me laugh cough a second ago because i was
trying to imagine it thank you jay russian question who do you cast in labyrinth updated my choice
is weird main role sabrina carpenter and lady gaga for the goblin queen used i was picturing
sabrina carpenter and all of her like music videos and her like pin-up thing and just picturing her
like in labyrinth and it was such an odd but jennifer connelly does have that kind of like um
innocent 50s like i think of her in the rocketeer so i can see
the Jennifer Connolly into Sabrina Carpenter
type parallel, but I can't picture
Sabrina Carpenter in this world because I think of her as a
pop star more than a, and I know she acts, but that was my
giggle laugh. I kind of feel like Queen Latifah could be a good
David Bowie role. I mean, I see the Gaga. The Gaga one I see
too, but it depends on what direction we're going in.
It has to be somebody larger than life. A hundred percent. Queen Latifah is
definitely larger than life. Yeah, that's like why.
So is Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga is larger than life.
She's a good casting choice.
I don't see the Sabrina one as much.
Also, because the age purpose,
like this still needs to be, like, dream and young.
Obviously, like, that immediately leaves me
with, like, a Millie Bobby Brown,
maybe even somebody younger.
I'm trying to think of the...
I feel like a Maya Hawk.
Maybe she's a little told now.
I can't...
It depends on what the story is.
Right.
Because if it's supposed to be like your dream, you know, young, young.
Yeah, you're watching It because I know you're putting out things.
Oh, I love it so much.
It was the greatest ever.
So, like, it's my second favorite show the year.
All those kids were amazing, too, though.
That in the studio, I'm not comfy too.
The little girl who does Ronnie.
Yeah.
She would be awesome.
Yeah.
I don't know what the actress's name is.
Or even, like, she was from It, the movie, but Sophia Lilith.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Super good.
But as far as Jarith, Chris Tucker.
that's interesting
different take but like big
and larger than life you know what I'm trying to think of like
if we wanted to do a one to one comparison who is the David
Bowie of right now like who
our boy David DeSmalchon
he's got a coolness
nobody's got such a like a
he for sure would be amazing but they wouldn't be able to do like
the singing yeah I'm trying to think of like who do we
have right now I mean I
Austin Butler
but the singing part he sings he's Elvis
the putting out music
I mean like doing the soundtrack
I see I see like making original songs
Right like who do we have that is a
primarily a composer like
Will Smith
That would be wild
That would be wild
That's what made me think like
Yeah
Maybe Gaga
Yeah Gaga
That's a good call
It's kind of a good poll
Yeah
We've got some weird movies just
Just in the last five minutes
Leave comments about it
Because we really don't have
of rock stars in the same way. I mean, like, Mick Jagger, but like he's, I think he's being held
together with tape. Older. Yeah. I think you'd have to puppet him. Certainly older with that.
It'd be a lot of puppetry in the movie if they also made Jerrith. Like Stevie Nix. Yeah.
She did a season of American horror story. Okay. And she's witchy woman for sure. But these are people
of Bowie's time. Right. We don't have a lot of people. I mean, even Will Smith of not really right now
and as far as music.
I see people on TikTok sometimes.
I'm like,
oh,
that person like Stephen Sanchez,
he kind of has his own thing going on.
Benson Boone act.
Exactly.
Like,
that's crazy,
but accurate.
You know what I mean?
Who's making like this kind of pop whimsy?
Yeah.
Like,
because I feel like magic moon,
moonrise,
uh,
whatever.
What do you think about MGK?
How crazy would that be?
I think I love it.
And I think I'm worried about loving it.
because he's such a good actor
and also he's
doing pop stuff. The soundtrack of this
would be so weird.
It's like half rap, half.
Because this pop stuff is like his last
10 years. He hasn't made a rap album in a while.
I know. I know.
It's also crazy that right now you're like
who's our modern Bowie?
Okay. And on the long enough timeline
we got to MGK. I'm not
saying that. I know you're not.
But that we don't have anyone
we had to go through. And I like MGK.
so yeah that's a weird that's a weird poll that's so funny okay all right there it is
m gk and uh one of the kids from it in labyrinth two directed by robert eggers they would be like
what is going on there last one from hunter preston i didn't i scrolled down a little bit
thank you hunter roxy i challenge you to dress of the goblin king you can pull it off how would
i do that leather jacket high collar tights it's the
Lowie shirt. That would be so sick. I honestly think I could. The hair I'd have to get
right also. That hair was something. Spiky mullet. I'm kind of into this challenge.
Halloween's a good while away. Yeah, but do you want to know something that I hate about myself?
You want to do it like now for no reason? No. Okay. I refuse to not do a sexy Halloween outfit.
That's crazy sexy. I would have to sexify it. That is, it's tights and leather. What is
sexy about that it's the hair i'm a mostly heterosexual man and i was like you know what i can get it
you're right you're like i can make it cute it's like you're right you're right all right let's see if i
can pull it all right guys that's the gauntlet's been thrown the leather gauntlet has been thrown we will see
if roxy can somehow make jareth sexy i feel like he's like a sex symbol yeah it's just a lot of
coverage for now yeah 2025 who knows if there's a frilly shirt
under the leather. That's what I'm saying. Time will tell. Challenge by Hunter Preston might get your
way. Well, that is going to do it. An odd ending to an odd journey. Yes, yes. Of whimsy, wonder and
puppets. What a time. So glad I revisited that after all these years. So glad I got to share it with
Roxy, who had never even known it existed. I like that our probation is over. And now we can watch.
One day we're going to find a Boston movie we haven't seen. I know, but there isn't one yet.
There isn't one yet. There is one every time we watch a movie and go, is it Boston? And one day it will be.
All right. Thank you, patrons. Thank you. Viewers. Thank you, Reject Nation. We'll see you for the next one. Leave some comments. Bye-bye.
