## Resource

Joe and Brenna are joined by returning guest Jes Battis to discuss Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986) for its 40th anniversary. Jes literally wrote the book on the film, It's Only Forever: Labyrinth , which means this celebratory episode is filled with tons of insights into both the film and Jim Henson. Plus: 80s nostalgia; academia as goblin-world; our fave characters/puppets and songs; and, of course, the David Bowie of it all. Wanna connect with the show?
