Night Call

88: Merry Labyrinthmas

It’s Horrifying 80s Puppet Movies For Children December here on Night Call and we’re kicking it off with Labyrinth. Will Molly dance magic dance for the Jim Henson classic when she sees it for the first time? Will Emily and Tess remember anything weird about seeing it from childhood? (yes) Plus a night call about whether Gremlins is about parenting and whether Baby Yoda is a psy op to boost the flagging millennial birth rate! Also: a fan theory about Star Wars’ Nien Nunb. And we welcome guest Lily Simonson to talk about diving under Antarctic ice and new developments in the personal life of her teenage idol Beck.FOOTNOTES: <a href="https://twitter.com/TriviaClipper/status/1201364374537019393">Nien Nunb</a> <a href="smh.com.au/culture/music/workaholic-beck-i-feel-a-little-guilty-if-something-s-too-easy-20191118-p53bnh.html">Beck out of Scientology</a> <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/beck-claims-he-was-never-a-scientologist-leah-remini-and-others-are-calling-bs">Leah Remini says method of departure is a "pussy move"</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100915054237/http://www.tribune.ie/article/2005/jun/12/a-sort-of-homecoming/">Beck on Scientology in 2005</a> <a href="https://lilysimonson.com">Lily Simonson</a>  <a href="http://oldgenres.com/text/">Lily Simonson 2</a> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/NightCall">Night Call Patreon</a> Night Call socials: Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/nightcallpod?lang=en">@nightcallpod </a>// Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nightcallpodcast/">@nightcallpodcast</a>// Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nightcallpodcast/?hl=en">@nightcallpodcast</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
