751: Big Fascist Dinner

Hosted byJason Snell

Are fairy tales real, or are they mental refuges from the horrors of real life? Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” toggles effortless between bizarre, Miyazaki-like fantasy (inverted toads!) and an all-too-real tale of violence and treachery in fascist Spain. It’s dark, beautiful, full of disgusting bugs, and manages to use Del Toro muse Doug Jones as not one but two separate monsters!

"Pan's Labyrinth"

Host Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Steve Lutz, Tony Sindelar, and Monty Ashley.
