Pan's Labyrinth - Guillermo Del Toro (2006)

Film Flam is back again, this time to tackle the foreign fantasy frenzy that is Pan’s Labyrinth. Colin comes to our hallowed episode without having prepared a question so Sean just talks about other shit he’s watched recently. Colin still has the nerve to call this off-topic. Then the duo jumps in, leaving no roots unbathed. Colin argues that it would have been more edifying had the sadistic fascist been painted in a nicer light, Sean says torture bothers him, and they both complain there wasn’t more fae.  It ends with them taking the extra time to argue about Sean’s rating system, which he benevolently suspends to stoop to the moral low of the public, of which Colin is a part. Sean then gives a complaining Colin 3 films to choose from, 2 of which he wouldn’t have wanted to watch. So with that, enjoy the podcast, and join us next week to discuss John Carpenter’s The Thing! Questions: * Does Colin know his Mexico from his Spain?   * Is this the same mandrake as from Dr. Strangelove? * Is the real labyrinth Sean’s attempts to make a point?   Email fascists and propaganda to [email protected] Next Week: The Thing (1982)
