One of the classic 80s films like classic all
times 80s films is Labyrinth, right? Jay, have
you seen Labyrinth with Bowie, Jennifer Connelly,
right? And the Muppets got some good Muppets
in there. Well, the original Labyrinth is finally
30 something years later, getting a sequel. Not
a reboot, a sequel to the original Labyrinth,
right? Also, and this is where I think you're
going to get excited, Jay, based on our conversation
a couple of weeks ago, the director is Nosferatu
director Robert Eggers. Oh, nice. Yes, we're
going to get fake penises in this one. Probably
not that much, because I think they're going
to keep it PG 13. This has been reported by deadlines,
so we got some pretty good bona fides for the
source. This is not, you know, dickhead, the
Twitter account, you know, claiming to leak whatever.
So first off, are you excited to hear that they're
finally going to do a sequel to Labyrinth? Right.
Are you excited, Jay, that it's going to be Robert
Eggers? And I know you loved Nosferatu. Right.
Okay. And and and what do you think? Who takes
our place of our Bowie this time? You got to
get a rock star in there. Crap, I don't. Because
Chad's even asking. Um, oh shit, I can't think
of his name. I mean my mind's blanking right
now. It's um, I Feel so bad right now, but the
does what about the lead singer of you two Bono
oh no No, no Bono no I Don't know so somebody
saying chest saying Will Smith Post Malone from
YouTube chat Uh, somebody's saying please don't
put me timothy chalamet the new goblin king timothy
chalamet's dance card is filling up pretty fast
So is tom holland's tom holland's not gonna be
available for this. Um He's uh, he's headlining
nolan's new movie, um Who do you put in that
spot, uh, davy havok, I don't know if I pronounced
that right Somebody in chat say it has to be
a Bowie caliber. Right. And I agree. I think
you need. So here's the thing. You got to have
a rock star and then a not rock star person.
Right. But who's who's our rock star? Do we have
any Bowie caliber rock stars anymore? That's
that's the tough one. AI deep fake Bowie. Oh,
no. Yeah. Do that one. I that's fine. That's
perfectly fine. Alex loves AI. Oh, yeah. Big
fan. First off, I think Robert Eggers is a good
pick to do this based on just kind of his milieu
and his style as a director. Right. I was showing
what he did with Nosferatu, all the other stuff
he's been doing. He's getting ready to do something
else pretty soon, too. Just saying Bon Jovi,
I think Bon Jovi might be a little old. I don't.
Dave Grohl. Dave Grohl, that could be interesting.
That could be interesting. Harry Styles, Harry
Styles is not a rock star. It's got to be it's
very metal. That's the thing. And that's that's
what you need is you need somebody metal. I don't
know. I don't know. I honestly don't know. To
make everybody feel better. Yes, Jim Henson's
creature shop will be involved. Two of his kids
are co -producing the project. Where is it at?
Here it is. Chris Columbus will be involved along
with Lisa Henson and Brian Henson. That's right.
Eggers made the Northman to. I will agree with
Dog Dad, but we was not metal. Adam Lambert,
Adam Lambert could work. The thing about Bowie
is he had a lot of personality to him. He did
100 percent. And I just I don't know. I don't
know who you get. Yeah, you have to have style
to do it is the lead actress, Jennifer Connelly.
I doubt it. She's she's getting up there. She
might. Maybe a cameo, but again, nothing, nothing
definite yet. Again, Deadline just reported this
today. Yes, this morning. So this is really.
really breaking news. Oh, yeah. You get one of
the guys from like Panic at the disco or what
else? Who did Black Parade? Oh, I don't know.
AFI, though, maybe have a. Yeah, look at it.
Twenty twenty four picture of him. Could do it.
There's not much that you would have to do. Get
him to look like. To get him to look like that.
Yeah. I mean, I'm down. Let's do it. Are you
looking it up? 2024. Yeah. And Eggers is writing
it as well. So we're going to get some good old
muppets and rock and roll. Coming back to do
some labyrinth. I think this is a good thing.
I'm also glad it's not a reboot. Yeah. Right.
I think I think a sequel is really the right
way to go. How did how did the original end?
I can't remember. I'll be honest. I don't remember.
It's been a long time since I sat down to watch.
We're going to have to sit down and watch watch
Labyrinth. Daniel Glover, Childish Gambino. I
don't know if he would do it. I love him. I love
Charles Campino. I really do. But I don't think
he would do it. That's just just my opinion.
YouTube chat. Bowie occupied such a funky corner
of alternative culture. That's very true. It's
not coming for a couple of years. But so again,
but that's not weird. These things go into pre
-production a long time. They ink deals a long
time before they go. You know. She got out and
saved her brother. That's how it is. Jennifer
Connelly got out and saved her brother. Again,
Jennifer Connelly is getting a little old. It's
been 30 years since the original Labyrinth. Came
out in 1986. You know, but hey, everything old
is new again. So. And Robert, again, his stuff
is riding high after Nosferatu. Yes. His people
are really happy with it. He got a lot of he
got a lot of he's gotten some award stuff now.
By the way, speaking of that, did you hear that
Lily Rose Depp was not the first choice for that
role? Oh, who was the. It was Anya Taylor Joy.
Which I think would have been better. I have.
a celebrity crush on her, so. I can't. I don't.
The movie was perfectly great. It was perfect.
It was good. That's my official statement. I
cannot firm nor deny it would be better with.
Nosferatu is doing it's done 157 million on a
50 million dollar budget, so it's profitable.
So. I've been seeing it three times a week, every
single week since the release. So, you know,
I'm putting my money in there. Are you doing
all your A -list, your extra A -list stuff? Yeah.
I want to see what kind of cool Muppets are going
to come up with, too. Yeah. I would love to see
them do a lot of practical effects. And again,
this is again why I think Robert Eggers is a
good choice for director. Do a lot of practical
effects, a lot of practical sets. Get the muppets,
the puppets in there. You know, really see what
Jim Henson's Creature Workshop can do. You know,
I think you I think there's a lot of potential
here. You know what I mean? 100 percent, 100
percent excited. oh yeah no it's it's great um
anyway let us know what you think are you looking
forward to this who should take the bowie roll
who's our new goblin king in the new labyrinth
