TOTLB 347 The Labyrinth

It’s that time of the week again, where we go back in time, in order to talk about a pop culture classic!! For this week’s episode, we’re going back thirty five years, to the year 1986, in order to talk about the David Bowie film, from the mind’s of Jim Henson & George Lucas, The Labyrinth.

“Teenage Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) journeys through a maze to recover her baby brother (Toby Froud) from a goblin king (David Bowie).”

Sarah accidentally gives her baby brother to the Goblin king, and needs to find her way through a labyrinth, in a certain amount of hours, in order to get her baby brother back safely! Along the way, she meets a bevy of weird/different creatures and characters. Two of which end up being close friends of hers, Hoggle & Ludo! How David Bowie was convinced to do this movie, we’ll never know, but it’s definitely intriguing enough, at least, to give it a watch! A couple of songs here and there make it a musical, and you know that you’re usually in for a good time, whenever you hear that Jim Henson has some kind of creations in the movie!
