Enter The Void

It's scary. It's depressing. And it's a kids' movie. For many children of the 1980s, Wolfgang Petersen's THE NEVERENDING STORY was their introduction to concepts such as existential annihilation, insurmountable sadness, and nested story structures. But how does all this play for someone who sees it for the first time as an adult? Our hosts fall on opposite sides of this pseudo-generational line, and explore their different experiences in this penultimate episode of season 2. Also considered: Nazi wolves and suicidal horses, the connection between harsh parenting and odd breakfast habits, Giorgio Moroder's contribution to the score, and other dark children's films of the 1980s. Plus: an argument for Ween as a rock band relevant to this podcast.  THE NEVERENDING STORY links  IMDb ◇ Wikipedia ◇ BuzzFeed ◇ Dorkly ◇ Documentary Enter The Void links  iTunes ◇ Tumblr ◇ Facebook ◇ Spotify ◇ @enterthepod We did good?
