Shame List Picture Show: A Movie Podcast

On today’s episode we’ll be talking about a personal childhood favorite of Michael's; Jim Henson’s LABYRINTH. Directed by Jim Henson from a script penned by Terry Jones, LABYRINTH tells the story of young Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) and her obsession with all things fantasy. Sarah likes to spend her free time with her dog Merlin playing pretend. Her favorite story to re-create? A book that she carries with her everywhere simply title “LABYRINTH”. Sarah is often distracted and the idea of “growing up” and having responsibilities doesn’t really appeal to her. Sarah’s step mother and father go out for a date night and expect Sarah to watch her baby Brother Toby. Not wanting to actually care for the child, she in jest asks for the Goblin King Jareth (David Bowie) from her story to take Toby away so she doesn’t have to care for him. Little does she know, her wish is granted, and if Sarah wants to get Toby back, she must traverse a dangerous Labyrinth filled with colorful characters, monsters and some puzzling tricks
