🎙Put your pop-culture past to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST w/ longtime friends Dan & Manny 👬
Dan & Manny welcome Jen & PT from The Long Take Review to put Jim Henson’s classic Labyrinth to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!
“We might spend the most time on fart jokes.”
-P.T.
Much like the topic of this episode, the conversation is a collection of twists, turns, deceptions, off-color fart jokes, confusion about David Bowie’s tights, and hallucinations. The gang goes into their love of Henson’s use practical effects, they talk about all the memorable characters, the film’s lasting impact on cinematic history, and did we say fart jokes. They also touch on the announcement of a sequel directed by Robert Eggers, is Gremlins 2 better than the OG, the influence of David Bowie’s performance, and the broader legacy of Jim Henson’s creations like The Dark Crystal. It wouldn’t be an episode of The Nostalgia Test without all the tangents, memories of Matt Antoniou, and Manny ignoring Dan trying to end the podcast, though he had help from P.T.
