I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is Labyrinth, the 80s puppet cult classic that makes absolutely no sense, and I absolutely do not care. Before we get into today's movie, which is, as of this recording, streaming free with ads, we know that cheap movies need cheap snacks.

So we're bringing you a taste test segment we're calling Cheap Ass Food. Cheap Ass Food. Cheap Ass Food. Okay. Okay. So I have some new shit. Okay. And I know I probably shouldn't have said shit this close to an eating segment.

Yeah, that was interesting, but I'm fine with it. I could bleep it out or I could replace it with a more disgusting word. Up to you. Yeah. So I have a new thing that I love and i wanted to share it with you okay two of my favorite people um we're gonna taste test a cheap thing you can get to eat with your free movies um i know people don't love mouth sounds on podcasts so matt please apply the mouth sound edit out filter yeah instead of chewing you'll hear um just people having orgasms thank you matt yes insert the sound of loud coming to replace the

sound of loud chewing um so this is the little caesar's crazy Puff and Pineapple Pepsi, a Little Caesars exclusive flavor of pineapple Pepsi. Okay. So I like a cheap meal. I like a chain restaurant. Emily, we've been to Buffalo Wild Wings 4,000 times. I think that one's closing. Oh, no. The Hollywood Boulevard one?

Yeah. We got to go have one last hurrah. I know. one's closing. Oh no, the Hollywood Boulevard one? Yeah. We gotta go have one last hurrah. I know. Burn the place down. Yeah, use that QR code menu to death. Wait, sometimes you guys go out together to eat without me? Yeah. But it's because we're going to another thing without you.

And we gotta show up. Yeah. And like we meet your wife there sometimes. We all go to a thing without you. I'm going to replace your entire voices with coming. Do you like Buffalo Wild Wings, Matt? You know, I have not been in years, but I remember the time I did go and I remember thinking, I don't need to do this again for a few years. Yeah, it's a little pricey and the QR code menu thing has gotten kind of out of hand to the

point where it's like there's no one to help you and if your phone can't connect. I want a sticky laminated menu. I want a giant sticky laminated menu. Well, I want a person to wait on me. You get the QR code menu and then you order it through the app. Oh, really? Yeah. Also, and using a phone like a smartphone in a restaurant made for hand food seems like they're just trying to destroy your phone.

Yeah, totally. Well, maybe it should close. Yeah. Yeah. We still have Wingstop. We can just eat that alone in our houses. That's right. Anyway, okay, so a category of chain restaurant that I have never been super into has been like chain pizza.

Sure. Like Domino's, Pizza Hut, never quite my thing. Okay. chain pizza. Sure. Like Domino's, Pizza Hut, never quite my thing. Okay. I've had some like people like order Domino's for me and it's gone well. Emily, you've done it before. Mike Mitchell

from the Doughboys has done it before. He's like, here's what you get. And I like it, but it never like I never want it, you know? If I'm having it, I'm having it. Sure. But like... It doesn't blow your hair back. So I'm having a hot Little Caesars summer. Wow.

I wanted to try the pretzel crust because people talk about the pretzel crust. Oh, fuck, yeah. I tried it and I'm like, I think about Little Caesars once a week. And I saw that they had some new shit and it is the Crazy Puff, which you have in front of you. So these are little dough puffs. They are filled with Little Caesars stuff, cheese, meat,

pepperoni specifically, and sauce. I think that the ratio is perfect. There's a little garlic butter spread all over them. They're wonderful. I love them so much. This one's yours, right?

I feel like- Emily, I ate a box in the car on the way over. I stopped to get these. I got a box for daddy and we ate them in the car. Oh, great. So you guys can have- They come four to a box. They're a great price.

I think they're like five bucks for a box. And so last time I was there picking up my puffs, I saw the teens, the angry, angry Little Caesars teens working there had bucket hats with pineapples on them. Oh, no. That's awesome. And it's to promote pineapple Pepsi, which you can only get at Little Caesars. I haven't tried that. So I'm excited.

I want to try the pineapple Pepsi too. I want to try the pineapple Pepsi too. Now, I know pineapples have symbolism in the world of swingers. Us talking about pineapple Pepsi doesn't mean we want to join your freaky sex island. So definitely don't send the invitation. It doesn't not mean that. So free with ads at MaximumFun.org. Don't you dare send the invitation there. Okay.

Well, I'm not convinced. Don't you dare send the invitation there. Okay. Well, I'm not convinced. But can I tell you that Flemgems store, somebody bought something and invited me to join them and their husband. They ordered something from my Etsy store. Well, they ordered some gems. It's the least you could do.

Are you going to do it? I don't know. I mean. I don't know. I'm kind of lonely. I feel like I kind of get it. You know, if someone was just like, hey, you want to join in on this swingers thing? I'd be like, I'd say no, but I'd be like, thank you for asking.

I just want to be asked. You know what? It would be nice to be invited. It would be nice to be. I would be flattered. It's like me wanting to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. I don't want the Buffalo Wild Wings. You just want to be invited. You're going to be sticky. Just like. I won't be the Buffalo Wild Wings. You're going to be gross. You're going to be sticky.

Just like a weird sex island. Yes, that's true. It's just a privilege to be asked. It is. I'm sure. They could have spent

more than 20 bucks, but that's just, you know. Yeah, that does smell a little cheap. Well, hey, if any of us do decide to throw caution to the wind and go to a weird

swinger island, we're going to bring a liter of pineapple Pepsi. Well, let's try it. If it's good. Are we doing the Pepsi first? I'm sweating like a dog that's got a treat right on his nose. Okay, I want to know what you guys think about the puffs and then we'll all try the Pepsi. Take a bite. Let it out the mouth. Noises

will add coming. Okay. And I just want to know what y'all think. Oh my God. Oh man. Wow. That's really good. I want to know, do y'all, Emily, you do like Little Caesars. Matt, how do you feel about Little Caesars? I'm a fan.

Hell yeah. Oh, my God. Aren't these good? This is very good. Yeah. It is a little bit pretzel doughy. It does. Yeah, it has a little bit of the quality that their pretzel crust does, which is also very good.

Very good. I think that these are like, yeah, eating a box of them was great. That was a great little one person. How many come in a box? Four in a box. Oh, my God. Well, there's another thing you and I have done. We were at a mall.

We went to a, was it an Auntie Annie's or whatever oh yeah the Auntie Annie's pretzels and we got that cup full of the sausage ones oh my god I love those so that has a similar greasy garlicky butter on the outside and I love that

I love that about the puffs I love that about the Auntie Anne's the like garlicky butter they put on it so General we're feeling pro on the puffs. I love that about the Auntie Anne's, the like garlicky butter they put on it. Okay, I'm going to try the soda. Okay, so general, we're feeling pro on the puff. 10 out of 10. Truly, truly delicious. Okay, great.

Yeah, let's do it. And yeah, so now let's try pineapple Pepsi. Pineapple Pepsi. Oh, I don't know. Guys. I don't know. I like pineapple Pepsi. It's tropical.

I feel like I want to, you could throw this on, I mean, it's a little bit warm. It's been in my car for a while. So maybe we're not getting the idea of pineapple Pepsi. Ooh, throw this on ice, put a little rum in there. You got a tropical treat. That's the thing. This is, as a sober person, this is reminding me of a cocktail but without the alcohol right and it's like as someone who doesn't drink anymore you realize that when you were drinking everything

you tasted was disgusting you know put some grapefruit juice in this vodka and it's just like i i'm not gonna drink grapefruit juice on its own. So for me, this feels like an unfinished mixture. Harsh words against grapefruit juice. Do people like grapefruit? I love grapefruit juice. I do like grapefruit juice, yeah. I feel like I only like things that children like. You know?

I love apple juice. Right. You love everybody. I love uppies. Uppers. I love nap-nap time. Nap-nap-me-um. And I enjoy, you know, pointing at the moon and saying moon.

Right. But I just don't enjoy these adult flavors. Just so everyone knows, the podcast has to come to a hold every time a truck drives by. Yeah, so I can go, honk, honk, truck, honk. I don't know if I'm a fan of the pineapple. Okay, you're not loving the pineapple Pepsi. No. But let's rank

we rank our movies on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials let's rank our food on a scale of 1 to 10 dollars because that's how much you would have to pay so I'll go first the puffs $10 out of $10

and I think the pineapple Pepsi is a hard 7 soft eight for me. Okay. I really like it. Ten on the puffs and a four on the soda. Okay. Yeah. Ten on the puffs, two on the soda for me.

It's not that I completely hate it. It's that it's just a smack of pineapple, so it's giving this uncanny valley sort of thing. It tastes like somebody- Accidentally put a little bit of pineapple. So it's giving this uncanny valley sort of thing. It tastes like somebody accidentally put a little bit of pineapple. Or that somebody was drunk driving with a pineapple gummy bear and then they went into a sea of Pepsi

and the guy abandoned that gummy bear. That's a very specific scenario. You know what? Now they say that's exactly what it tastes like. That's exactly what it tastes like. It's a Ted Kennedy killed a gummy bear. That's a very specific scenario. You know what? Now that you say that, that's exactly what it tastes like. That's exactly what it tastes like. It's a Ted Kennedy killed a gummy bear. It's the Chappaquiddick of Pepsi. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. I can taste it now and it makes me like it more. I'm saluting. Well, hey, that's the first installment of Cheap Ass Food.

If you have a cheap ass movie snack that you want us to try, free with ads at MaximumFun.org. Okay. Let's talk about Labyrinth. Emily, you were super excited to do this one. What is your relationship with Labyrinth going into this?

This is the number three favorite movie for me of all time. Oh my gosh. Okay. Sorry. I took another bite of that amazing puff and now I'm- Your mouth's full of puff. A mouth in need deserves puffs. Sorry.

Indeed. Sometimes I just have commercial slang that just happens. Like, we are. Anytime someone says we are, I have to go, we are farmers. And people are like, shut the fuck up. What's the puff one that you were doing? A nose in need deserves puffs indeed. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, so I said a mouth in need. See how clever that was? It's very clever. Please cut all of this out. Nope. Fuck. Okay.

Yeah, I first saw this movie at a slumber party at my next door neighbor's house when we were like seven years old. It was her seventh birthday party. And for some reason, the parents, everyone, insisted that we had to see this movie. Okay.

And Laura, one of my best friends and next-door neighbor, she was obsessed with it. They put it in. I could not take my eyes off this. I was in love with it immediately, and everyone else was screaming and scared and running away. Uh-huh. And I was just eyes glued to the, like,

I'm scared and it's like also awesome. It is both alluring and terrifying. Yes, and also it was the moment I realized horny could exist. Oh, okay. It was the first time I looked and I went, I am into men. Yes. And Hoggle.

Hoggle's butt and Ludo's butt. Yeah. We're going to talk about the donks on some of these people. We got some dump trucks on these puppets. My wife said the exact same thing, by the way, that you said, Emily. Really? She said this was the first time she realized she was straight. Yeah.

Yeah. It's the movie that's like a formative core like thing for her oh yeah oh okay i'm horny and matt you had never seen it no despite it being a formative text that informed your wife's sexuality yeah yeah i know i know i'd never seen it i just i guess i just you know i'm naturally bowie like you know that's right same body type same musical talent yeah uh but yeah matt that's not why we call you a goblin invite me to buffalo wild did you watch it with your lady wife we did we we watched it together uh she was so excited for me to see it because she assumed i had seen it and it put a lot of pieces together in terms of her weird little sexuality.

Her being attracted to me is the biggest mystery of our relationship. You're Bowie. You have some Bowie-like qualities. We're just both weird guys. Well, yeah. We're tall guys. He's got that special something. I don't know.

He is able to commit to a role with barely any effort like i find that him in the costume just jauntily walking around is so effective like he's not going as hard as say we uh jeremy irons and dungeons and dragons when we we've talked about that there's an over there's a yeah there's an overblown version of this where you're really camping it up. Yeah. And Bowie has an easy, cool charm here. He does.

It's like he's not – there's Tim Curry in Muppets Treasure Island. Right, sure. Which is the really awesome musical theater performance. And then there's Michael Caine in Muppets Christmas Carol. And then there's Bowie smack dab in the in muppet's christmas carol and then there's bowie smack dab in the middle of those two performances okay yeah commitment and i think he fucking nails it uh well yeah let's let's start talking about it so uh we open on jennifer connelly she's a teen she has to babysit and she doesn't like it the baby's crying and

she's like oh i wish goblins would take you. And then the baby disappears. Goblins took it. She. OK, so maybe she's immediately like, uh, what? Right. Yeah, I know. Regrets it immediately. It doesn't even take a minute to go like, oh, good.

The baby's gone. Ah, fuck. The goblins took the baby. And then maybe I kind of missed this. What's the transition from the real world to the goblin took the baby. And then, maybe I kind of missed this. What's the transition from the real world to the goblin world? How does she get there? So here's my favorite thing about Labyrinth is they do not over-explain anything. No.

If something doesn't make sense, get the fuck over it. Just go with the flow. And that's kind of how I watch movies anyway. Yeah. Yeah, how does she get there? He just opens the windows to the house and says he's presenting her with the portal to where it is. Okay. Yeah.

So, you know, if you've seen this movie, like it has a kind of a video game logic in a way. It's like levels. Like we're going to do this level. We're going to do that level. Or like, I mean, i guess the way you could explain the movie kind of like it's like it's a dream anything anything weird in the movie you're like well it's a dream and it has this kind of you know dream logic to it too so anyway but it doesn't make a ton of sense it like it's like alice in wonderland but with a little bit more of a

motivation than alice alice is just trying to get out. Right. Whereas like. She's like, I need to get to the middle of the labyrinth to get the baby. Yeah. And it's like, they did a lot of versions of the script. The one they're using, Terry Jones from Monty Python. I know. This is a crazy like all-star like production team here. Oh yeah.

But George Lucas did a version of the script and Elaine May did a version of the script. And the one they're using is the Terry Jones one. So I guess there's stuff from all those people in it. Wow, I didn't know that. And I guess Bowie was threatening to quit the whole time until he got the script that he liked. And I guess this is the, so maybe there's also some of that going on too

of like, oh, there's 10 versions of this thing and they're only keeping what Bowie liked. Well, you know who almost played the Goblin King? Do tell. Sting. Oh my gosh. I am so glad that it wasn't Sting. Sting and Michael Jackson were in talks for it.

Oh my gosh. But I think we got the guy for the job is who got it. Absolutely. I cannot imagine. A dream of babes, LA. Babies, you know, whatever. Oh, yeah. Okay, so she's in Goblin Land now.

She has to get to the middle of the labyrinth because that's where the baby is. Bowie comes in and he's a contact juggling. He's got that ball and he's working the ball. He's got crystal balls, yeah. And it has like visions in it and stuff. And he's working the ball. And it has like visions in it and stuff. This, okay, this speaks to how Bowie is one of the coolest humans to ever live.

Because he makes this dumbass thing look cool. Like this is something that a guy on the quad does in college. But Bowie is like, he's a magical being. But no, this is something a hippie does in the parking lot of a fish concert. But Bowie is like, yes, entrance me with the crystal. Well, he's also the only human man in that entire labyrinth. So he's got a leg up on everyone. My favorite thing about this is like, so he takes the baby. She says these magic words.

And then the Goblin King and his goblins come to take this baby away where they will turn it into a goblin for all eternity okay that's the the spooky part right yeah and then you get there and he's with the baby and you're like oh this must be horrible i wonder what like horrible things these goblins are doing they're literally just laughing and partying and having a great time i'm like this baby could do a lot worse i don't know like it seems like it's pretty fun to be a goblin it is to get a good babysitter yeah I know and like the it's like okay would I rather be with this teen girl who hates me so much she'd rather me die or stay with these people that are fighting are having fun all the time yeah and also like my favorite thing in that the whole room is they're all cracking jokes one of them

like does a spitball at a chicken's butt and it goes, and everyone goes, and I'm like, these people rule. I would immediately want to be in this bar. I don't know. And then there's like they're getting beer. There's a keg in there. And then there's a guy laying beneath the spout and he just takes whatever drops are left that are coming out of the keg.

I was like, oh, this place rules. I want to be a goblin. Yeah, the goblin world does look really fun. And I guess the only part. I was like, oh, this place rules. I want to be a goblin. Yeah, the goblin world does look really fun. And I guess the only part where you're like, oh, maybe this is questionable is he's throwing the baby up in the air and catching it. It's clearly a doll.

I like that. As someone who has a baby, they love it. Oh, yeah. I did. Throw them as high as you want. They will freaking love you for it. So that's kind of what's going on in the goblin baby story.

And so back in Jennifer Connelly's story, she's meeting all the crazy Jim Henson creations that live in the labyrinth. She meets Hoggle. He's kind of like a troll-y goblin guy. He's spraying fairies with like— Well, first he's taking a piss. He's taking a piss. My favorite thing about this movie by far is that the humor in it now that I know it was written by a Monty Python. Yeah.

It's kind of obvious isn't it? Because I was obsessed with Holy Grail when I was a theater kid. Every theater kid loves it. But I would repeat lines to people and stuff and I was younger when I saw this movie. So there are little lines from this that I remember making people be quiet for. Oh yeah. When I

was watching this movie over and over again. And the pee scene I thought was so funny. I was like, he's peeing. And then he kills fairies. Yeah, there's a lot of like, this ain't your grandpa's fairy tale. And I think him spraying the fairies with the bug spray is a really funny moment. And those are like actors on a green screen. There's so many like different effects in this.

I love that about it. on a green screen. There's so many different effects in this. Definitely. I love that about it. Hoggle is being voiced by Brian Henson, Jim Henson's son,

who would go on to direct Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol. Oh, I thought it, I was assuming it was Frank Oz. I think Frank Oz is the, I could be wrong about this,

I think Frank Oz is the crazy witch woman with the huge pack on her back. I think he's a couple of things, but yeah, that, wow, you mean the character I would play in the huge pack on her back. I think he's a couple of things, but yeah. Wow. You mean the character I would play in the movie? Oh, yeah. We'll go through that later.

Yeah, so she's meeting all these crazy characters. Hoggle, who kind of follows her through the entire story. She meets a little worm guy with a scarf. I love this fucking worm! He's so cute. Can I tell you that my best friend from next door and I are obsessed with that little worm and have done that accent and the little lines from it forever.

I have found online on Timu, they were advertising a perfectly, like, created, like, life-size worm from Labyrinth that you could buy that had the little feathers for the hair. It has, like, little feathers that kind of move around and the little fucking scarf. Oh, my God. And I should have bought it. I'm sure I could find it somewhere. I love how he's trying to get her to come into his tiny hole and he's like, come meet the missus.

That's so funny. Have a nice cup of tea. Have a nice cup of tea. It's great. And then she falls into a hole filled with hands. Hands that all have fingers. Emily, any thoughts about this?

All right. The hand pit. How, any thoughts about this? All right. The hand pit, how do you feel about it? Okay. This did something for me as well. I think it did have a little bit of an effect on me as a kid a bit. I think it was more just like the gropiness of it. I don't know.

I think, I don't know. So she's like falling, falling, and these hands are all grabbing her and they kind of like come out and they make little like hand puppet faces yes which is genius

super cool it fucking rips and everything is about having two choices in this movie like before she falls down that pit there's two guys

and she's trying to figure out which door she should take they're like one of us always tells the truth one of us always lies it's like you have the

what's the the train car dilemma? Yeah, they give her kind of this riddle. They are these two kind of like dog looking puppets. They're two headed and they kind of come off the top and bottom of shields. And they have a riddle that I always stop paying attention to this part. I cannot follow this. I think it doesn't,

I tried to think about what the moral of this story was. Right. At first I was like, oh, it means start lying and being a piece of shit like everyone else. And then I think it's learn to listen to people and actually engage with them and pay attention to what other people think.

And then you'll learn about what choices you need to make. Yeah. If you should trust this person instead of just going, I'm smarter than you immediately. Right. And this is a piece of cake and this isn't fair. And thinking me, me, me, like actually work to engage with what you have and then you will be able to, because everybody, everything started getting a little nicer once she became nicer. Yeah.

Like, once you meet Ludo, she's like, I'm going to trust you. I'm deciding to trust that you're a nice beast. And then he is. Yeah. You're like, finally, her instincts are starting to be correct. It's also, the moral is that if you are a pretty girl and you tell a big, ugly monster, we're friends now, that will be your number one defender. Yeah, I mean, how do you think I've made it in stand-up? Yeah, that's what you got to do.

Like I've made it in stand-up. Made it in comedy, I mean, or in some whatever, in the podcast world. Look at these two. Look at us go. Look at these two monsters. Just a couple of disgusting puppets. Look at these two monsters.

Just a couple of disgusting puppets. We both do have like some Ludo hoggle energy. Yeah, sure. Just a Ludo and a hoggle over here. But also some Jareth energy at the same time. A little bit. And men contain multiple energies. Yeah, we just have one. We can all agree.

So yeah, so back in the kind of the baby Goblin King story, we get the first song of the movie. This is Magic Dance. I think colloquially people know it as Dance Magic Dance because that's kind of the like refrain. Yeah, Dance Magic Dance. It's just called Magic Dance on the soundtrack at least. Oh. Anyway, but I don't really have much to say about this other than it rules.

I just thought we could play a little bit of it. Yay. Because it's great. I've never understood the lyrics to this. I feel like they are in reference to another song. So I do know that the you remind me of the babe thing is a line from a movie from the 40s. Yes, that's what it was. This is some crazy Bowie thing that he dreamed up. And like, yes, like obviously he's a genius it's great it is really

hard to decipher and like what it means but I think that they it does seem like he was just kind of steering the ship in this movie he's so fucking cool and you know he's great and like hey if you're gonna but I think it is why it is like kind of weird and hard to figure out it's just because he was Bowie was doing whatever he wanted yeah Yeah, because slap that baby, make him free. I just decided to not think about that. Yeah. I just kind of went, all right. Sure. And I don't, and yeah, and this might be music that was written for like something else that

they're kind of like trying to put into this movie. And in general, a lot of the music is weird in this. And I kind of had the effect like when we were watching All Dogs Go to Heaven. Yes. Where I messed with the sound on my TV because I'm like, it's supposed to sound like this. Some of it has that quality of like the tune and the singing are not linked and they tried to mash them together.

I had the exact same thought and I thought it was just me, but I was like, this feels a lot like All Dogs Go to Heaven. Interesting. I think I just, I've seen this movie so many times that I just go, yep, here it is. That's go yep here it is like yeah and i just go with it that's like that that bit with the like fire demons yep is one of the coolest fucking things that's ever been in a movie can i say the music is really weird can we listen to part of that eventually and i can tell you what

i think they're saying okay because i have, ever looked up the lyrics to that song. I have the soundtrack on CD. Oh, yeah? And I listen to it all the time, but that song, I love to just make up words to it. I know it's Chilly Down is the name of the song. Yeah. But other than that, no fucking clue what they're saying.

So, yeah. So, that's coming up later. That is a great part. So, yes. So, she makes it through the door with this riddle. The hands grab her. They meet all these big Easter Island faces telling them to turn back. This part is so funny.

Oh, yeah. This will be my best line of the movie coming up at the end. But yeah, this part is great. But it's all just these little like, she meets this weird thing. She meets this weird thing. It does seem like they just made a bunch of puppets and they're like how do we make a movie that is totally how i felt about the fire monster puppets is like they just had these and they went i just really want to use this can we have a musical number that won't matter at all right

and just do it and they're great i loved it yeah so yeah this is around where she meets Ludo, who I think is the tallest puppet in the movie. Tallest guy. Puppet edition. Guy slash puppet. He's a big bear thing with horns. It's like a guy in a suit. He kind of looks like Sweetums from the Muppets. Oh, yeah.

And he's really cute and can control rocks with his mind. Or his singing, rather, I guess, can control rocks. He has the sweetest eyes of any monster I've ever seen. His eyes are just absolutely adorable. He's great. And you like him immediately. My friend. Like, everything about him, I'm like, Rocks friends. I go

buffalo wild wing. How come no call? I not eat wings, too. Oh, sorry, Hoggle. Swind. But also, big old dumper on Ludo. Big old dumper.

I mean, it's great. There is a, when. Ludo thick. Ludo thick. When they're trying to get out of the oubliette, like she falls down with the hands and everything, and then Hoggle's going gonna like help her get out and they're going up this ladder

she decides to put her face fully in Hoggle's ass as they're going up that ladder and I've always felt so uncomfortable cause all of his noises sound like he's trying to take a dump the whole time he's going up there, he's like like he's doing that the whole way up and I'm like who told her to put her face literally...

I'm afraid she's going to get fantasy pink eye. Yeah, you don't survive that either. You die from fantasy dream world pink eye. This is post the Swamp of Eternal Stench. No, this is before the Eternal Stench. I think we're about at the swamp of eternal stench. It's called that. It's really funny.

It's a bog of eternal stench. Maybe more of a bog. There they meet this little squirrel guy who's kind of a Three Musketeers. Yay. And he rides. He's a fox? Oh, interesting.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's a fox. Yeah, I thought he was a fox. Yeah, some sort of rodent-y. He's a puppet. Doggy. That's what matters. Okay, okay. I guess.

Yeah, sure. Oh, I mean, maybe he's more. That's what matters. Okay, okay, I guess. Yeah, sure. Oh, I mean, maybe he's more than a puppet. I guess we could just say anything now. Oh, no, we're fighting again. Anything's true. There's no truth. Oh, this is Moonstruck all over again. Oh, no, sorry.

And that dog looks like her dog in the movie. Yeah. So a little bit of a Wizard of Oz parallel there. Watching a puppet ride a real dog is great. So cute. I love it. And sometimes the dog is a puppet, though. Yes.

If they both need to move, there's a puppet version of it. And I just like, I fucking love that about these. Well, the best part is- They solve a problem by creating a puppet for it. And also, the funnier it looks, the better. They don't care. Yeah. Because this is a fantasy world.

But my favorite thing is so Ludo can summon rocks. Yeah. And he summons this rock bridge that every time you step on those rocks, it farts because it's in the Bog of Eternal Stench. So when that dog ran across it with the puppet fox squirrel on his back, it just went. It just had this whole thing. But I have a question. Logistically, I was thinking about the bog of eternal stench. The thing is that if you even put a foot in it,

you'll smell bad the rest of your life. But if you're putting a foot on a rock that's been in it, ain't you going to smell like that? They smell bad for 15, 16 years. I mean, that just feels like- My wife had the same question. Thank you. And said as a kid, it really disturbed her

that they were standing on the rock. She said she was able to explain it away by saying, well, they're wearing shoes. Yeah. But you're wearing a shoe if you dip a foot in there, too. Yeah, but if you dip a whole foot in, it could soak in and get into the sock and then into the foot. Well, then that dog is fucked because it doesn't have shoes on. Well, that dog is living in a dog world in which that smell is probably okay. They smell each other's butts all the time. Well, that's true. Also,

it's Sir Zinimus or Didimus or whatever is the name of the fox guy. He can't smell the bog because he lives there. So he's like, the air is sweet and fragrant. I live by my sense of smell. So he probably fully smells like ass. Yeah. Because he's been in it. Nose blindness. I bet that that dog and that fox,

it's two canine things that are riding each other. Huh. Huh. Anyway. But we're mammals and we ride mammals. Yeah, but we're not. We're mammals, do we? Oh, yeah, we do.

But we're not a horse. That's true. We are not a horse. They are both types of dogs. You're right. It's a little too close. Is a fox a type of dog? It's a canine.

Okay. Don't yell at me. I am not. I just can't hear myself. We're canine. Okay, don't yell at me. I am not. I just can't hear myself. We're fighting again. Oh my God. But it's like if I were to ride on the back of an orangutan, that would be kind of weird. You're right. That would be unnatural. That would be super awesome.

I disagree. I think it's against God. Man should not ride ape. That's from Planet of the Apes, right? Apes shall never kill ape. Man shall never ride ape. That's from Planet of the Apes, right? Ape shall never kill ape. Man shall never ride ape. It's in the Constitution.

It's in the Constitution, yes. Our forefathers. What was Hamilton talking about? They all had opium and they were just saying stuff. Yeah, so this is kind of when... Okay, so we kind of learned that Hoggle is in cahoots with the Goblin King. The Goblin King has to wait 13 hours

for the baby to turn into another goblin, so he's trying to keep her away from the middle of the maze to get the baby. So she gives Hoggle, or the Goblin King gives Hoggle this poisoned peach, which he gives to her, and that's when she kind of goes into this little trance, and that's when we kind of goes into this little trance. And that's when we see, like, the beautiful

ball. This is like a scene where they're at a ball where everybody's wearing masks. Masquerade, yeah. Very super dreamlike. Yeah, it's a dream goblin orgy, like, eyes wide shut but with puppets. There is actually a labyrinth ball every year in Los Angeles. And you know they

be fucking. Well, I hope so. Everyone deserves to. Yeah. I don't know if that's true. Not everybody deserves. Not everybody. But no, when I worked it, I used to work at Necromance, which was a store, RIP to Necromance.

And we sold, you know, bones and skulls and feathers. Yeah, bone store. Yeah. We call it the bone store and you worked at the goth supply store no it was a natural it was a natural history and oddities store but it was pretty much just people who did santeria came in and haggled for bones but uh people around that time of year would come in and they were building their like you know masks and stuff and putting bones and stuff so I was like god I want to go to that so bad maybe this year we should where is it I don't know it's downtown I'm not sure where it is is it

invite only no you you have to pay for a ticket but it sells out really quick is it on eventbrite probably that's very funny to me I don't know why it's every year and it's it sells out pretty quick i guess like it's a big deal there is a ball there is like events and food and all kinds of stuff in a costume contest it's a weird thing to model like a real life ball after because the scene itself is like it's a great song it's beautifully shot everyone Everyone looks amazing. But it's also a goblin king who is low-key seducing a child. So there's something about that where I'm like, yeah, make a whole ball out of it. And that's a thing that you can – that's something you can talk about when you talk about this movie, right? Is that it has a weird – it feels like it's a grooming parable or something.

A little bit. And I think that the movie is not saying that it's good. At the end, she kind of breaks out by saying, like, I don't need you or you don't have control over me. Yeah, the goblin king is bad. Yeah, he is. And I don't think the movie is saying, like, this is sexy and romantic, although I guess it kind of is.

But I think ultimately the movie's, yeah, what do you think? Well, okay, so I've watched quite a few things about, you know, fantasy versus reality. And I think sometimes with, like, you know, vampire fantasy and stuff like that, there is this idea of being, you know, whisked away from your life and someone kind of, you know, controlling you kind of thing in a fantasy world that for some women, including myself, if it were Robert Duvall from The Godfather, I would very much like that. That is my Goblin Gang. Of all the people, it's so funny to me.

If you could just whisk me away to live a life of crime with the mob, that would be great. With Tom Hagen. Whisk me away to New Jersey. Where I live like a queen. Yeah, totally. With giant hair.

I think that is like, I mean, I was just thinking about this when I was watching. You know, Peter Pan is technically that. Sure. He's pretty much a vampire. He's like 100-something years old. Right, right. And he's taking children from their room. And just because he looks like a kid don't mean he is one.

That's a good point. So I think this is a repetitive thing in film. I'm not saying it should continue to repeat but I managed to kind of swallow the bitter pill but I shouldn't say swallow.

I should overlook. I don't know. Accept it for what it is. He never does anything gross. Yeah, he's mostly anything. He never does anything gross. Yeah, he's mostly just trying. Except for the pants. I think we can agree the pants are kind of crossing a line there. Yeah, as we mentioned in the intro,

and I think this is one of the most famous things about this movie, is that Bowie's codpiece on a couple of these outfits, and he has... Is it even a codpiece? You would hope so. It's a giant bulge. And I should say that Bowie is in, you know, he's in maybe five scenes of this movie. He has 12 outfits. Oh, I love them.

Just new outfits every time he appears. Which is so funny that he had such like granular control of the script. Because that just says to me that he looked at the script and he says, this part doesn't say that my codpiece gets bigger. Make sure my codpiece gets bigger. Make sure my codpiece is bigger. Well, I kind of love the idea. I wish I had seen some scenes with the goblins helping him get dressed. Yeah. Where they're like, I'm going to give her a peach.

What should I wear this time? They're like, the brown leather jacket. Yes. And he's like, ooh, very nice. And they dress him like the birds from Cinderella. That would be awesome. Exactly. Do would be awesome. Exactly.

Do my eye makeup. So she snaps out of this trance that she's in. They go to like, they find the center of the maze. There's this big mechanical knight, and they see that it's like being powered by a little goblin kind of in the head. God, I love this character. This knight and goblin is really cool. I want to talk about that too, but when she wakes up from her dream or whatever and is, you know, the peach that he gave her

is supposed to make her forget why she's there. Yeah. She wakes up in a like junkyard and goes into this tent where it is a replica of her room. Yeah, I know. And so then she thinks it's a dream or whatever and this lady who just has like, she's like a turtle

with tons, turtle woman almost. Yeah, tons of junk. Tons of junk attached to her back. I think this is Frank Oz. Yeah, but is this, do we have a song

for like my thing of the person I would play in the movie? Oh, of course we do. You mean, do we have a sting for who we'd play? Yeah.

Because it sounds like who we'd play. It's the it sounds like who we'd play. It's the trash lady. I would totally be the trash lady. Can you go as her to the ball? Can you find, if you do get tickets to this labyrinth ball, is there a way to do this costume? I think so. I think it'd be very hot, but I think I could figure it out.

Can you find enough trash? Oh, you've seen my apartment. You've both seen my apartment. So you just wrap yourself in flypaper and roll around in your apartment just roll around in all my x-men action figures just put them on my back it would be fine but yeah my favorite thing is there's not there's only like three female characters in this whole movie it's just her stepmom and this trash lady and her yeah yeah well there's also a slight like there's a cameo of a picture of her mom at the very beginning you see her on a playbill and i didn't notice that

until this i wasn't paying attention to that and i guess her mother was an actress and that's why she's so theatrical yeah and her mother's dead and then my favorite thing is at the beginning you meet the stepmother who seems really reasonable, honestly. Yeah, she's not like an evil stepmom. And she's like, oh, just let us know if you have plans and you don't have to babysit. It's kind of nice. But she is kind of like, you should have dates. It's like, oh, okay, that's a little presumptuous.

But it's like they have a newborn baby and I'm like, this bitch had a baby? Girlfriend, you look 48. But I mean that could still happen it's the 80s everyone looks older that's true that Bobby Brown makeup

yeah yeah alright okay let's go back to the robot yeah so this robot is really cool yeah this kind of leads to the kind of the big

the big fight all the heroes kind of infiltrate the maze great battle scene and then yeah Ludo like calls the rocks.

So you just get all these styrofoam rocks knocking over these puppets. It's hilarious and great. And the punch-ups for this battle scene, there were tons of lines. Uh-huh. Because there was, he shoves, like shoots a rock into a cannon,

and then the cannon guy is like, the actual cannonball has little legs and hands and he's like he's smoking hot and he's like jumping around the floor and he's like

ouch, ouch, it's hot and stuff and it's like somebody sat there and punched this stuff up like did I hit something? Yes? No?

Like the cannons themselves even had like words. They were sentient. Everything everyone says all the puppets say even like the asides yes they're so funny so funny there's a great little moment in this battle where um the the dog that the fox puppet is riding on like bucks him off and they insert a horse sound effect

that dog making a horse sound i'm like yeah that's great that dog sounds like a horse oh man i missed that part now give me more puffs give me more crazy puffs That dog making a horse sound? I'm like, eh, that's great. That dog sounds like a horse. Oh, man, I missed that part. Now I gotta go back and watch it. Give me more puffs. Give me more crazy puffs. Just eating crazy puffs and listening to a dog that sounds like a horse. What a day. Okay, here we are.

It's the thrilling conclusion to Labyrinth, and we're gonna talk about it right after this. We're back. It's Free With Ads. We're talking about Labyrinth. So, yeah, this big fight happens in the middle of the labyrinth, and this kind of leads to the final face-off between Jennifer Connelly and the Goblin King. They go around this, like, M.C. Escher maze. So cool.

And she has an M.C. Escher poster in her bedroom. So, connections. We like them. And maybe evidence that this is kind of all just a dream and she's kind of like yeah the bedroom is very much like uh there's a lot of clues a lot of the things you see in the bedroom at the beginning you're gonna see as part of the labyrinth yeah i think the whole thing is a big metaphor for childhood and growing up because at the end there is a bit of a exchange that I'll talk about in a minute.

She kind of faces off against the Goblin King. The baby's crawling all over the Escher thing. This is great. The effects on this are awesome. Do you think that this influenced train spotting? Oh, because it has an upside down baby? Maybe. Maybe. I'm so sorry.

No, I see it. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. They. You're not wrong. They both have upside down ceiling babies. So perhaps. And I think all upside down ceiling babies are just as beautiful as each other. That's true. Do I get a clap? Yes, you do. I believe upside down babies are our future.

Great take. Yes, such good takes on everyone. They're not that funny, but they're takes. Oh, the takes. And that's what we want. I just wanted you to say I have good takes, audience. So it kind of leads to them facing off, and he's kind of just trying to hypnotize her,

and she kind of just repeats, you have no power over me. Well, she does that whole speech in the beginning of the movie, she's singing, or saying something from a play, it seems like, or a book, which is called The Labyrinth,

and she can't remember this last line, and the last line is, you have no power. Yeah. I think I can recite the whole thing. Oh, yeah? Hang on, let's see if I can do it. Okay, okay.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I've fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that was stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great. You have no power over me. Emily, you're just reading my back tattoo.

That was 10 out of 10. It was 10 out of 10? Hey, there it is. You did it. If you ever want me to do a Hail Mary too, I can do that. Went to Catholic school. This is the same shit. We'll save that for our episode on the exorcist. I you ever want me to do a Hail Mary too, I can do that, went to Catholic school. This is the same shit. We'll save that for our episode on the exorcist.

I know that one. You do? Come with me, Hail Mary. That one? No. Well, I don't know about Catholic. I'll pray for you tonight. Savage.

Okay, so the Goblin King has been kind of defeated by that mantra. She goes back to the real world. She gives the little baby her bear. Yeah. And a symbol that she's passing on childhood to the next generation. Bear, by the way. I know what kind of teddy bear that is.

That thing is itchy as fuck. No baby would ever want that bear. It's a pretty gross bear. Wrong bear. And then as she's laying in bed, she's kind of seeing visions of her friends. And she says, I need you, Hoggle. I guess I never saw her and Hoggle get that close. Well, they kiss.

What do you mean? They kiss. She gets her head all up in his butt. You thought you meant Ludo. I think it's Ludo's butt. Oh, it was Ludo's butt. No, it was Hoggle's butt. Was it Hoggle's butt? I'm sorry. Yeah. Again, two huge dumpers. Oh, it was Ludo's butt. No, it was Hoggle's butt. Was it Hoggle's butt?

I'm sorry. Yeah. Again, two huge dumpers. Two legendary dumpers on these puppets. Legendary dumpers. You can't blame me for getting them confused. Right. Oh, my God.

Is Ludo's butt going to outdo Jean-Claude Van Dump Truck? Oh, I don't know. Is it Ludo Van Dump Truck now? Damn. New pins. Yeah, next max fun drive. Instead of Jean-Claude Van it's Ludo damn dump truck

yeah there we go still doing the splits though yes but that kind of like calls all the puppets back to her room have a little party and they party

everybody it's so much fun and it's so weird the last line of this movie is the little fox guy standing up and going anyone for Scrabble and then the movie's over I did what I did up and going anyone for scrabble and then the movie's over

what i did not hear anyone for scrabble i did not hear that it's such a and that's i think that's thing you're talking about is i bet there's a lot of like adr after oh you had probably the captions on and caught a lot more stuff maybe yes if you have the captions on you catch a lot of there were things my wife was watching it going see I didn't know they were saying all this. I thought they were just jibber-jabbers. Yeah, me too. Well, the scene where they all end up in her bedroom, it kind of harkens back to Wizard of Oz where it's like, and you were there, and you were there, that kind of thing. But she's in the bedroom, her parents are home, and they go, Sarah, are you home?

I'm like, oh, my God. Did you think she just abandoned that baby in there? And they're like, she probably did. But again, these are very understanding parents. They really are. It's okay if you want to leave the baby. And also that house. Yeah, what did you think about the room?

Didn't like the room. Very cluttered. I don't want a room that is just like mine. That is my room, pretty pretty much the one that she had too many easter eggs too many references to the movie I did like that window shelving kind of thing on the wall that she had

with all the wooden little shelves that was cool I did like that what about baby's room the baby's room was gorgeous well it was the parents room with a crib in it. Yeah, that explains the big bed in there. And that room.

I know, I didn't really think about that until recently. It was like, yes, it's a king's room. He goes, this will all be yours one day, Toby. But first you have to be old enough to flip over when you sleep. Then you should be king. But yeah, no, it's like she's in the room and the parents get home and she's kind of putting away her childhood things. And then Hoggle's like, hey, like, should you need us for anything? Like psychically, yes.

Yeah, he pops up and she's like, I will for any for some reason, you know, or no reason at all. I will. And it's like, I think it's her saying, you know, you know, goodbye to her childhood. But I will want it, you know, it's her saying you know you know goodbye to her childhood but I will want it you know parts of it back so that's kind of what I thought I haven't really thought about the message behind it because it's so crazy and kooky it's kind of like hard to like think about like what does

this movie mean because it is kind of a series of stuff but it's worth thinking about but I really I think that I out of all of the like female protagonists in a lot of fantasy movies, I relate to this one. Oh, yeah? As a kid the most, because I was a spoiled little bitch who didn't like my sister. And now I very much regret the way I treated my sister.

Because she is bigger and stronger than me now. Oh, that's why. And she scares me very much. Emily, she's here. She's at the door. Emily, she's here. She's at the door. Run, everyone. You know, I've grown, I've matured, and I'm frightened of you. Yep, pretty much.

I gave you that dusty bear, remember? Remember when I gave you the filthy itch bear? Hey, you want to play a game of Scrabble? Oh, wow. I didn't hear that at all. Does anyone want to play Scrabble? It's so weird to mention a product, too, in this magic movie. Yeah.

Well, yeah, that's Labyrinth. Before we rank it, we're going to talk about our favorite lines. Emily, what do you got? Okay, so I like so many lines about this, but I really love things about friendship or whatever in this movie. I think it's really sweet, her friendship that develops with Hoggle because he's never had a friend. But also there was a moment in this movie that reminded me a lot of my friends in L.A. when I try to get them to take the train with me.

So I like to play this part. Why did you say that about my being your friend? Because you are. You may not be much of a friend, but you're the only friend I've got in this place. Cool. Do you hear something? No, it's all right. Friend.

I like that. I ain't never been no one's friend before. Goodbye. Yeah, nope's out immediately. Yeah no one's friend before. Goodbye. Yeah, nopes out immediately. Yeah, nopes out immediately. That just reminds me of all my friends. I'm like, I'm going to get on the train and go downtown. You want to come with me?

And they come down there like, boo, goodbye. I'm like, I have a taser. It's fine. Where are you going? So my favorite line is when they're kind of walking through all of the kind of stone heads who are all kind of warning them to turn back. I love this little exchange. It's so funny. Oh, shut up.

I'm sorry. Just doing my job. Well, you don't have to do it to us. Beware, Fuzzer. Just forget it. Oh, please. I haven't said it for such a long time. Oh, all right. But don't expect a big reaction. No, no, no. I haven't said it for such a long time. Oh, all right.

But don't expect a big reaction. No, no, no, of course not. For the path you will take will lead to sudden displacement. Thank you very much. So good. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

So good. So good. This is so Python to me. It is. This is like totally, you know, from the Terry Jones version of the script. 100%. Well, yeah, those are our favorite lines. So we are going to rank the movie on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials when we come back.

It's Free With Ads. We are going to rank Labyrinth on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials. Emily, we'll give you the last word on this one. Okay. Maybe let's hear from Matt who hadn't seen this before. Matt, what would you give this 1 to 10? First time seeing this movie and I thought I had seen this movie before. I just assumed because I had seen

clips of it. I was like, I bet I saw it as a kid. And nope. This was completely unfamiliar to me in ways that I couldn't have imagined. I loved it. I would give it a solid nine. Nice. Because it was the puppetry is so cool.

It made me like think to myself, why do we even do animation? Yeah. Like live action stuff is so cool. And I just was entranced by how wonderful everything looked even if the story itself was you know kind of simple and fun and sort of for kids um i was entertained all the way through so uh you know nine hard nine for me yeah uh yeah i'll i'll go around there too i think it's an eight for me i think it's the coolest looking movie. I, yeah, I, I, I probably watched this movie once a year and I always love it. Uh, looks,

looks cooler than anything. Yeah. I mean, you'll maybe wish it made a little more sense or like you kind of knew what the Goblin King was up to. And I think like you, Emily, I don't, I don't need things to have long explanations, but I think in this case I wanted a little something. Cause I found myself watching it going like, I wonder why he's doing that. need things to have long explanations but I think in this case I wanted a little something because I found myself watching it going like I wonder why he's doing that and yeah I think just a little bit of that would have gone a long way but like it's a classic it's a fucking classic

it's awesome it has so much memorable shit from it and yeah it looks cooler than anything and it really does make you wonder like why aren't there more puppets why aren't there more puppets just put puppets and stuff they're great. Emily, what do you think? I'm sure that if I had seen this for the first time

and people had hyped it up for me and stuff, I would have a lower score, but I have to give it a 10, a tippy 10. I just wish that more movies looked like people really cared about all of it. It just looked like a complete team effort because everything wasn't one vision. There was like everything was a cohesive kind of like a cohesive puzzle that went together. But nothing looked like it was made by one person who was wielding the power over everything.

by one person who was wielding the power over everything. I guess that now that I know that Bowie was kind of doing that, but they managed to make this despite a pop star kind of manhandling the whole situation. And I don't, to be fair, I don't know that specifically what happened. I think I just read a little bit about it and that's kind of how it seemed to me. That kind of makes sense. But it's like, I personally like that they didn't explain too much. My favorite thing when I was starting to watch the movie, the credits

go for a few minutes with the cool owl. There is some cool computerized animation with that owl at the beginning. Yeah, that is some kind of early CGI. That's pretty cool looking, but they get right into the meat of the story and they waste no time. Yeah, that baby gets snatched by

goblins real fast. Real fast. And baby gets snatched by goblins real fast real fast and i love that all the goblins were just like waiting in some dark hole somewhere sleeping in a little pile together those yeah those initial shots of those goblins are so great and that scared the shit out of everybody when we were kids people were screaming running out of the room it was so crazy but um i like that they kind of didn't explain it and just like allowed you to like i don't know have your own i think it's made for kids but i think it's supposed to be made for kids but jim henson had a very different opinion on what kids could handle you know yeah um and i like that he did sesame street but he also made dark crystal he's all over the place, baby. But I love this movie so much. I think that the soundtrack is fucking killer.

It's such cool music. It makes me feel good every time I watch it. There's a song on here, Underground. There was a proper music video for it where Bowie meets all the puppets from the movie. Really? Not all of them, but yeah, it's on YouTube. It's great.

It's totally worth a watch. Yeah, check out the video for Underground. It's really cool. And yeah, I'll say, Yeah, it's on YouTube. It's great. It's totally worth a watch. Yeah, check out the video for Underground. It's really cool. And yeah, I'll say I did a little bit of work with the Jim Henson Company for a TV show that has now been removed from its streaming service, unfortunately, for a tax write-off. Earth to Ned. Earth to Ned. Yeah, Earth to Ned.

Earth to Ned RIP to a great, great show. I binged that whole show. Yeah, it was a great show. And my experience working with the Jim Henson folks is that it's that thing you said, Emily. It's like, it's just a wonderful group of people. Everybody's throwing out ideas. Everybody is, like,

respected in a very wonderful way. And it was such a nice, magical place to work. Everybody gets invited to Buffalo Wild Wings. And everyone goes to Buffalo Wild Wings together. Yeah, it was a really magical job. It was such a cool together. Yeah, it was a really magical job. It was such a cool show. Yeah, I know.

And it had that spirit of like, we're all good at something. Let's all make a thing together. It was really fun. Thank you, streaming. Yeah. Thanks, modern show business. Listen, there was the Disney Vault for a while. Remember that happened?

Then they opened the Disney Vault. so maybe this will happen again. That's right. Hey, maybe they'll dump all the Tax Write-Off stuff on YouTube someday and we can watch it for this show. Yes. Wouldn't that be cool? Well, yeah, that's Labyrinth. Let's talk about some plugs. Emily, anything?

I'm going to keep plugging Good Mythical Weekend. Do it. I'm really having fun with it so far. And I think we all, I enjoyed working with you guys. It's super fun. It's fun to work with you guys in so many different capacities. We should have another job that we do together. No, we have enough.

You don't want to go volunteer at a pet shelter? Sure, let's do that. It would be nice to have one hangout where we're not making contact. That would be nice. I mean, we could go to Buffalo Wild Wings together, but that's me and Jordan's thing. Okay, well, I'll go to Buffalo.

Matt, should we all go to TGI Fridays? Oh! That could be our spot. I'm kind of more of a Chevy's guy. A Chevy's guy, okay. What is that? It just doesn't matter. It's Tex-Mex.

Okay. Well, yeah, good Mythical Weekend, it's over there. Matt, I would love to try your favorite Tex-Mex place. Okay. Good Mythical Weekend's over there on the Good Mythical Morning YouTube channel. It airs on the weekends. So I am still telling people to check out Youth Group, the graphic novel from me and Bowen McGurdy, and I got a couple of book events coming up. Woo! On

August 2nd, I will be in the Bay Area at Book Passage. At Book Passage in the San Francisco Bay Area with a great writer, Maggie Tokuda-Hall, who has written some of my favorite modern comics, including Squad, which I think is a goddamn classic. It's Mean Girls But With Werewolves.

You should really read it. It's so, so good. Yeah, Maggie and I are going to be there on August 2nd talking comics. So I hope folks come out to that if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area.
