Labyrinths have fascinated people for thousands of years, appearing in mythology, religion, art, and architecture across many cultures. This episode explores what labyrinths are, how they differ from mazes, their connection to the legend of the Minotaur, and the many ways they have been used throughout history. Along the way, you'll hear about ancient designs, medieval cathedral labyrinths, symbolic journeys, and modern walking labyrinths. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

401 VelociPastor II Interview Jurassic Park Trivia Comic Con CarrieDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos kick off the 400s with yard-work injuries, mosquito attacks, and the ongoing backyard project that may or may not destroy Joe's arm before it's done. Steph explains her mosquito bite allergy situation, Joe suspects he messed up his elbow trenching in 90-degree weather, and somehow this still counts as progress.Geeking Out starts with San Diego Comic-Con week: Marvel is expected to bring Avengers Doomsday heat to Hall H, Insomniac is showing off Marvel's Wolverine, DC is bringing Batman: Caped Crusader and Lanterns energy, Guillermo del Toro is tied to Pan's Labyrinth programming, and The VelociPastor II is premiering at the con with a double feature of the original movie.Then it's horror TV news: Mike Flanagan is bringing Stephen King's Carrie to Prime Video as a series, which actually makes sense given his track record with Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep. The Foos also talk American Horror Story Season 13 bringing back a massive lineup of franchise favorites, including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, and Billie Lourd.In honor of Sam Neill, Steph runs Joe through Jurassic Park trivia focused on the original movie. There are correct answers, wrong answers, technical difficulties, a timer disaster, and the realization that the first dinosaur they see is not the Triceratops with the giant pile of poop.The main event is an interview with Jesse Gouldsberry, director of The VelociPastor II and producer/director of photography on the original VelociPastor. Jesse talks about how a fake title and college short became a real cult movie, how the first trailer went micro-viral and even landed on G4's Attack of the Show, the jump from the first film's tiny budget to the sequel, and why having more money doesn't mean losing the handmade chaos.They dig into the fake Australian trailer narration, the legendary “VFX: Car on fire” placeholder gag, balancing intentionally ridiculous filmmaking with actual story structure, the pressure of making a sequel to a cult favorite, and the DIY production choices that keep the movie feeling like community-theater grindhouse insanity in the best way possible.Jesse also talks about premiering The VelociPastor II in a 14th-century church in Prague, bringing it to San Diego Comic-Con, planning a roadshow, getting rights back to the first film, possible future streaming/distribution plans, and why fans should ask their local theaters to bring the movie to town.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroMosquito bites skeeter syndrome and yard work injuriesBackyard project trenching granite sod and chaosGeeking Out San Diego Comic-Con previewMarvel Avengers Doomsday Hall H expectationsMarvel's Wolverine deep dive at Comic-ConDC Batman Caped Crusader Lanterns and Pan's Labyrinth programmingThe VelociPastor II Comic-Con double feature previewMike Flanagan Carrie series for Prime VideoAmerican Horror Story Season 13 franchise reunionJurassic Park trivia in honor of Sam NeillInterview Jesse Gouldsberry joins the showThe VelociPastor origin fake title college short and G4VelociPastor II budget sequel pressure and DIY chaosFake Australian trailer voice and VFX car on firePrague church premiere and San Diego Comic-Con screeningRoadshow plans streaming rights and future VelociPastor ideasOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroThe Foobar Show, VelociPastor II, Jesse Gouldsberry, VelociPastor interview, San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Avengers Doomsday, Marvel's Wolverine, Batman Caped Crusader, Lanterns DC, Mike Flanagan Carrie, Stephen King, American Horror Story Season 13, Jurassic Park trivia, Sam Neill, grindhouse comedy, cult movie sequel

We give you all the Jim Henson love you could ask for, connect this movie to Dark Crystal, and cue listeners in on what's down the pike for Labyrinth lovers.

And they both can't stop staring at a certain accentuated codpiece. This ain't your father's Fraggle Rock. Welcome to Labyrinth!

In Anthony Price's debut novel, a WW2-era C-47 Dakota resurfaces twenty-five years after being officially "lost at sea". Its captain was transporting something hot from the dying embers of Nazi Germany and its plunders. The trail went cold when the plane got wet in 1945. But now that it's back, the intelligence networks of East and West resurrect their chase. "The Labyrinth Makers" is the first David Audley spy mystery and sees the Ministry of Defence analyst working to stay one step ahead of a Russain threat. Part art history, part-treasure hunt and part cold-war pursuit, Price's novel is the subject of our latest episode. Fast Facts@02:30; Plot Summary@12:45; PIPES@53:45

It's Summer Vacation and we're taking 2 weeks off to recharge. In the meantime, enjoy these rewind episodes reviewing a couple of our favorite films that just happen to be turning 40 this year! Enjoy this classic MTMUG episode originally released April 15, 2022. "Turn Back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late." We watched Labyrinth (1986) with our good-Judy Jared Anderson and we wish the Goblin King would come and take you away… right now. Sixteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelley) faces off against Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie) and a generation's sexual awakening began. Bowie is giving androgynous ren-faire realness and Connelley is giving ethereal drama-kid/teen model. And you can trust and believe we get into that cod-piece. Is it icky that the Goblin King is so actively seducing this young girl? A little, but it's all fantasy and (spoiler alert) Sarah finds her way back to her kick ass bedroom in her dad and stepmoms sweet Victorian house in Portland. The puppet work by Jim Henson's Creature Shop will transport you to another world, the costumes will make you want to head over to Party City right now, and the MUSIC! Don't get us started on the soundtrack by David Bowie. It's FIRE. Grab a cold mug of mead, break out your tights and lets get theatrical! Say it with us… "You have no power over me!"

We reviewed Troika! by Melsonian Arts Council once before — but we hadn't played it yet. Now we have. Does actually playing it change anything? (Yes. And no.) Jesse, Matty, and Chris dig into what it's actually like to sit down at the table with an acid fantasy OSR system, whether rules-light games are good for new players, and the eternal question: if story is all that matters, why try different games at all? Also: Matty fixed D&D 5e combat, Jesse ran vampires into emotional ruin, and someone pulls out a Labyrinth goblin field guide. Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

What is consciousness for, and why did it evolve? Can we change our “default” consciousness? These are some of the questions that Michael Pollan says began to preoccupy him after his first psychedelic experience, which altered his ordinary consciousness so profoundly that he wanted to learn everything he could about the mysteries of sentience, thought and selfhood. We talk to him about what he uncovered and challenges of studying a phenomenon that he says we'll never understand completely. Pollan's new book is “A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness.” Guests: Michael Pollan, author, "A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness"; professor emeritus, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism; his other books include "In Defense of Food," "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "How to Change Your Mind" Learn more about your ad choices.

Can you dig it?The Warriors are coming out to play again—but this time, they're heading to Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis are transforming the cult 1979 Walter Hill movie into a full stage musical based on their acclaimed concept album. Their version reimagines the Warriors as an all-female gang and combines hip-hop, rock, salsa and R&B.Can the gritty story of a Coney Island gang fighting its way home survive the jump to Broadway, or does turning The Warriors into a Lin-Manuel Miranda musical completely miss what made the original movie work?We also get into Michael Caine licensing an AI-generated version of his voice to narrate The Odyssey, Instagram's attempt to become television, Hollywood's improving box-office numbers and the deeply uncomfortable Season 3 premiere of House of the Dragon.Plus, Trailer Trash features Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats, King of the Hill Season 15 and Apple TV's The Dink.

WSTR Galactic Public Access — Episode 436: Rodians In this episode of WSTR Galactic Public Access, Todd Hoffman returns to the show to continue the Rishi's Species segment, this time focusing on the Rodians—the reptilian, swamp-dwelling species best known for Greedo, the iconic bounty hunter from Star Wars: A New Hope. Todd explores what makes Rodians so recognizable, from their bug-like eyes and suction-cup fingers to their rough, pebbly skin and reputation as cunning hunters. The conversation looks at how their species is portrayed across Star Wars lore, including appearances in the Cantina, the Clone Wars, Return of the Jedi, Rebels, and the Bad Batch, and asks whether Greedo has unfairly become the defining Rodian in fan memory. The episode also digs into the broader cultural and storytelling potential of Rodians, comparing them to Mandalorians, discussing their possible role in bounty hunting and crime dramas, and imagining what kind of Star Wars series could center a Rodian lead. Along the way, Todd touches on behind-the-scenes trivia, including the evolution of Greedo's name, production notes, and the voice work that helped shape the character. News of the Week Todd covers three Star Wars headlines: "May the Force Be With You" was ranked the best Star Wars quote of all time in a recent Parade article Hasbro revealed a Jaina and Jacen Solo Black Series two-pack Reports suggest Star Wars: Starfighter footage may have been shown at a Disney cinema event Cantina Chat The episode closes with a personal catch-up: Carla is traveling for wedding shower celebrations Heather has officially embraced her cat-lady era Todd shares family updates, Father's Day gifts, and recent gaming talk, including Red Dead Redemption, Fortnite, and anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI Call to Action WSTR invites listeners to share their thoughts on Rodians, Greedo, and underrated Star Wars species via social media, voicemail, or email. The show also teases next week's topic: the 40th anniversary of Labyrinth.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: June 19, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this week's episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen explores the growing complexity facing importers, customs brokers, and compliance professionals as trade policy continues to evolve at a rapid pace. From new developments involving the EU tariff agreement and ongoing Section 301 litigation to uncertainty surrounding the administration's customs enforcement Executive Order and the future of USMCA, the trade community is being asked to navigate an increasingly complicated environment. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Labyrinth, Cindy focuses on a theme many trade professionals can relate to: finding a way through complexity when the path forward is anything but straightforward. What was once a relatively predictable customs process has become a maze of overlapping tariff programs, country-specific rules, component-level reporting requirements, trade remedies, and constantly evolving compliance obligations. The episode serves as both a trade update and a reminder that while the complexity may feel overwhelming, the trade community continues to adapt, innovate, and move forward. This Week in Trade • The European Union approved implementation of the Turnberry Tariff Deal, helping prevent additional tariff escalation between the U.S. and EU. • The Supreme Court declined to hear challenges involving Section 301 Lists 3 and 4 tariffs, leaving those tariffs in place. • President Trump threatened potential 100% tariffs on French wine and champagne related to France's digital services tax. • Questions continue surrounding implementation of the Executive Order on Strengthening Customs Enforcement, with few details yet available from CBP or other agencies. • USMCA negotiations remain ongoing, with expectations that negotiations will continue beyond the current deadline. • The Commercial Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) is scheduled to meet July 15 as industry engagement continues. Main Topic / Discussion The central focus of this episode is the increasing complexity of global trade compliance. Cindy walks through how trade professionals are now managing multiple overlapping tariff programs simultaneously. What once required understanding product classification, valuation, country of origin, and free trade agreements has evolved into a system layered with Section 301 actions, Section 122 duties, Section 232 tariffs, country-specific exceptions, company-specific provisions, component-level reporting requirements, and detailed U.S.-content calculations. This complexity extends beyond importers. Customs brokers must understand not only which tariffs apply, but also the correct order of application, reporting requirements, ACE programming impacts, and evolving CBP guidance. Meanwhile, importers are being asked to collect and maintain supply chain information at a level of detail that many organizations have never previously required. Drawing on the theme of Labyrinth, Cindy compares today's trade environment to navigating a maze where everyone—from CBP to brokers to importers—is trying to find the correct path through an increasingly complicated regulatory landscape. Key Takeaways • The EU tariff agreement provides some stability for transatlantic trade. • Section 301 tariffs continue to withstand legal challenges. • Significant uncertainty remains around implementation of the Customs Enforcement Executive Order. • USMCA negotiations are unlikely to conclude by the current deadline. • Trade compliance requirements are becoming increasingly detailed and data-driven. • Importers, brokers, software providers, and CBP are all adapting to unprecedented levels of complexity. • The ability to manage complexity may become one of the most important competitive advantages in international trade.

Behind the walls of H.H. Holmes' "World's Fair Hotel" waited trap doors, gas chambers, and a basement of acid vats — and more than a century after the Murder Castle burned, something still lingers at 63rd and Wallace.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HHHolmesHotelREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/57djvd7fFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: It's one of the most infamous and macabre subjects of Chicago history – it even served as inspiration for TV's “American Horror Story: Hotel”. It's what has become known as “The Murder Castle” where serial killer H.H. Holmes committed his monstrous crimes. But even today, Holmes continues to terrify… in spectral form. (H.H. Holmes' Hellish Hotel And Lingering Haunting) *** A woman tries to save the soul of her daughter, believing her to be possessed… but her solution to drive out the demon was to murder her daughter using a holy crucifix. (Murder By Crucifix) *** What's worse than proclaiming yourself to be a supernatural being and starting your own cult? How about telling your followers you are God so you could do drugs and have sex with teenage girls? It's the disturbing true story of the cult called “The Group”. (Theodore Rinaldo – The Drug Cult Rapist) *** Shrunken heads – believe it or not, they are real. And some tribal peoples create them even today – from real human heads. But why do it at all? We'll look at the reality behind shrunken heads, the reason they are created… and even how they are created. (The History and How of Shrunken Heads) *** A terrifying series of paranormal activities invade a family's home in Wales. (The Swansea Entity) *** Tenome is a Japanese Urban Legend about a blind man who was robbed and murdered. His dying wish? To have eyes on his hands so he could see. (The Seeing Hands of Tenome) *** Unsolved mysteries are intriguing simply because they are unsolved. That's why we are so fascinated by stories of people disappearing without a trace. But one man's disappearance is so bizarre, so weird, that upon hearing the story you'll be scratching your head wondering what the heck you just heard.

Some links included above may benefit me financially through qualifying purchases.)WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark. Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from the haunted ground of H.H. Holmes' Chicago Murder Castle to a flesh-eating Japanese yokai, a millionaire's impossible vanishing at sea, an Oklahoma exorcism that ended in murder, a violent Welsh poltergeist, the real-world practice of shrinking human heads, and the Washington State drug cult led by a man who claimed to be God.It opens in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, where Herman W. Mudgett — better known as H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer and the inspiration for the Hotel Cortez in American Horror Story: Hotel — built his three-story "World's Fair Hotel" at 63rd and Wallace to prey on visitors to the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The building held sixty rooms riddled with trap doors, hidden staircases, gas chambers, and a basement furnished with a dissecting table and vats of acid and lime. Holmes confessed to 27 murders before his hanging in Philadelphia on May 7, 1896, though some historians put his victim count at 200 or more, and the strange deaths that followed his execution — a poisoned forensics expert, a suicidal prison superintendent, a priest beaten to death in his own churchyard — fed talk of a Holmes curse for decades. The site was never excavated, and employees at the Englewood post office built beside the old Castle property still report stacking chairs, a singing woman no one can find, and apparitions on the grass where the hotel once stood. Even Holmes' own descendant, Jeff Mudgett, author of Bloodstains and the figure behind the History Channel's American Ripper, walked out of that basement a changed man.From there the episode crosses to Japan and the legend of Tenome, a blind old man robbed and beaten to death in a field who returned as a vengeful yokai with eyes on the palms of his hands. First recorded in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, the creature hunts graveyards and open fields by scent, feeds on fresh human bones, and inspired the Pale Man of Pan's Labyrinth. The segment ends with the Kyoto tale of a young man who hid from the Tenome inside a locked temple chest — and was found afterward as an empty sack of skin, his bones sucked out through his flesh.Next comes the 1931 disappearance of Hisashi Fujimura, the Japanese-born silk millionaire who vanished from the Red Star liner Belgenland somewhere between Halifax and New York on the night of August 13. Fujimura had told a friend he feared gamblers would follow him aboard, his mistress Mary Reissner was registered under a false name as a governess, and his bank account had dropped from over $333,000 to $2.65 in five months. The ship's captain saw him talking to an unseen person at 2:45 a.m.; by morning his bed was unslept-in and his seven-year-old daughter was alone in the stateroom. Federal investigators closed the case without answers, a dust-free wallet bearing his name later surfaced in an empty Manhattan flat, and Fujimura was declared legally dead in 1938 — leaving murder, suicide, accident, and a staged escape all equally possible.The darkness turns domestic with the 2016 killing of 33-year-old Geneva Gomez in Oklahoma City, beaten to death by her own mother, Juanita Gomez, who claimed she was performing an exorcism to drive Satan from her daughter. Juanita punched Geneva repeatedly, forced a crucifix and religious medallion down her throat, then arranged the body in the shape of a cross with a wooden crucifix on her chest. A forensic psychologist concluded she was feigning incompetence, the insanity plea collapsed, and in January 2018 a jury needed only 20 minutes to convict her of first-degree murder and recommend life without parole.The episode then travels to Rhondda Street in Swansea, Wales, where in 1965 Marcia and David Howells, their two small children, and Marcia's grandmother endured a poltergeist that began with choking sensations in the night and escalated to bottles flying off mantelpieces, rooms ransacked in minutes, the gas stove turning itself on, and a double bed found hurled on top of the baby's empty cot behind a barred door. Police, reporters, and a priest all came to the little house; the only room ever left untouched was the grandmother's. The family finally moved out, the activity stopped, and no tragedy in the home's history was ever found to explain it — leaving psychokinesis, spirit attachment, and Marcia's own verdict, a demon, on the table.From haunted houses the show turns to a practice that is grimly real: the shrunken heads, or tsantsas, of the Jivaro people of northern Peru and southern Ecuador. Warriors severed the heads of slain enemies in the belief that shrinking them enslaved the victim's vengeful spirit, then boiled the skin free of the skull, packed it with hot stones and sand, blackened it with charcoal ash, and sewed the lips shut to seal the spirit inside — reducing a human head to a third of its size.

June 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Jim Henson cult classic Labyrinth, and the team decided that it was a perfect opportunity to take a look back at this beloved example of dark fantasy. We're also taking it as an excuse to compare and contrast the state of children's media then and now, and to that end, Tim is joined by Cameron and Mandy, our two main experts on child development, and in Cameron's case, '80s movies. Before turning to Labyrinth, Mandy brings the recent buzzy film Obsession to our movie roundtable, while Cameron brings the recent buzzy film The Sheep Detectives. By request of Patreon supporter David G, Tim is looking at a pair of Canadian animated short films by Ryan Larkin, Walking (1968) and Street Musique (1972), which are neither recent nor buzzy, but are both quite amazing studies of movement and music.
This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're escaping into remake hell as Zack Snyder is officially attached to write and direct a new reimagining of John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic Escape From New York. Snake Plissken is back on Hollywood's remake board, and we're asking the obvious question: does this need to happen, or should some movies be left alone?We also talk about the reported retirement of Clint Eastwood, look back at our favorite Eastwood films, react to Euphoria officially ending after Season 3, and discuss the new Birds limited series with Sarah Snook. Plus, we try to help Frylock avoid homelessness.Then it's time for Trailer Trash, Views or Snooze, and Staff Picks, including Cape Fear on Apple TV, The Vampire Lestat on AMC, Alice & Steve on Hulu, and Dustin's pick: the 4K release of Heathers.Welcome back to the Labyrinth.Watch the YouTube Show: https://youtu.be/QS3Lmj33VFQKeep It Canon.(Carey Means Go Fund Me more than tripled their goal so they have concluded it, Good Deal)▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀Hosts: Tim Andrews, Jeff Leiboff, Dustin Lollar and Lizzie Bruce JonesAudio Podcast & YouTube Video Edited by Dustin Lollar ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

What begins as healing can become something far darker. Kara Mosher joins Richard Syrett to expose her terrifying descent into psychedelics, spirit guides, astral projection, occult rituals, and entity contact — a journey she now believes opened the door to spiritual deception, psychological collapse, and a battle for human consciousness itself. GUEST: Kara Mosher is the author of Here Comes Trouble and a former psychic medium and occult practitioner who says years of involvement with psychedelics, spirit communication, astral projection, and New Age spirituality led her into profound psychological and spiritual darkness. Today, she speaks openly about spiritual deception, entity encounters, awakening culture, and her controversial decision to walk away from occult practices after becoming convinced she had encountered something deeply malevolent.

I don't know about you, campers, but I like to have emergency plans for any eventuality. For example, what if I find myself in the center of a maze with only my wits to get out? What would I do? Of course, the secret to escape a maze is to keep your hand on one wall while you walk and eventually, you'll find yourself at the exit. This case is a little bit like a maze. Every time the investigators thought they had a break in the case, they found themselves at yet another dead end, but luckily, they kept pushing forward and eventually found sunlight.
