  • The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter (1990) and Mio in the Land of Faraway (1987)
    Jul 7 2024

    We return to Fantasia for The NeverEnding Story 2: Electric Boogaloo before a beard-flight to The Land of Faraway based on Astrid Lindgren's Mio min Mio.


    Prepare for Christopher Lee's Sasha Fierce claw, Power Rangers meets Encarta 95 vibes, Benny and Bjorn from ABBA, a draggy sorceress, swimming pools, and Geiger counters.


    We share our thoughts on the films and their themes, some behind the scenes gossip, delve into the nightmarish moments and dream up some ridiculous merch. Will we get vaporised by a Sphinx? No, because we forgot to do a Sphinx question this episode! Oh well! We call it a bird course because we fly right through.

    Dance, magic dance! There is a spark inside us! Our goblin double bill brings us Henson hot takes, magic phone cards, a rotten Hoggle, the twelve tapdancing toes of the Goblin Queen, the best and worst of David Bowie's costume and a very special grandma ghost. Oh, and singing.
