The NeverEnding Story (1984)

Fan favorite Garrett Smith returns to the podcast as we cover our
next 80s Cult Classic movie: The NeverEnding Story! After talking
about our history (or lack thereof) with this movie -- and our
shared history of taping movies off TV -- we talk about how this
movie haunted kid-aged Garrett. Joe makes a request to bring back
making movies inspired by hallucinogens. We discuss the German
version of this movie, the one change the writer absolutely hated,
and the physical puppets and effects in this movie. We pick our
Most 80s Moment (featuring a lap-first exemption), talk about the
elements that Stranger Things borrowed (stole) from this movie, and
find ourselves in awe of the Empress. Joey makes Garrett talk about
The Nothing. We wonder: is it worth exploring other movies in the
series? Would kids today like this movie? Email us:
