Pan's Labyrinth

totally cool he's also like one of the hardest workers i've ever met and she like she has like no like block on like what she like like i feel like i've never seen her be like yeah that seems like it would be too hard you know yeah that's great she's just like okay yeah so i guess we'll get 20 people to pick this thing up over here and we'll do like this is like a problem solver instead of like a problem pointer out there yeah you know

that's cool Yeah, and then the last day is Guillermo Navarro, who shot Pan's Labyrinth and Pacific Rim, and I think he's directing now.

But yeah, so, and then on Wednesday, we go to the film lab and we look at everything we shot.

Oh, so you guys are actually shooting stuff in the class, like on...

Just a reminder.

Mimi is a Mostly Horror alum that you may remember from our chat about Pan's Labyrinth back in the day.

That was like a year, almost a year and a half ago.

That's crazy.

Lots changed, clearly.

Yep.

We talked about Pan's Labyrinth and, well, literally everything else under the sun.

We talked about thoughts on crime.

And those were scenes from Nosferatu, a symphony of horror, starring Doug Jones, our guest on the show, as that infamous vampire, the famed actor, contortionist, and mime artist specializing in non-human creatures on screen, in a conversation about the re-release on this 20th anniversary of Nosferatu.

of Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's gothic classic with political bite, Pan's Labyrinth, and Doug's challenging simultaneous depiction in the film of both good and evil apparitions, the pale man symbolizing fascism, the brutality of dictator Franco's regime in post-Civil War Spain, and also Pan the Fawn in opposition to fascism.

Jones likewise reflects on the legacy that seems to have been passed down to him from late screen legend Lon Chaney as the man of many faces and why.

First a little from Pan's Labyrinth, then Doug Jones.

Hola? Hola?

Soy vos?

And she finds a way to escape and trump in the end that makes us all feel like, you know what, maybe I could do the same in my life.

That's the state and power this movie has had, I think.

She's great at playing a lady in distress, for sure.

Over the past 20 years, though, Mimsy Farmer has moved on to the art department with sculpting jobs for Marie Antoinette, Pan's Labyrinth, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

So she made a little bit of a shift from actress and over to the art department, which I thought was very fascinating.

Oh, that is cool.

Brilliant performance, dude.

They reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth, the eye thing.

That was a creepy eye thing, wasn't it? What have you been listening to? I've been listening to loads of things, but the album I want to talk about is Burn by Deep Purple.

Oh!

But I still feel like you can sense him in this movie.

There are moments where I'm like, this is very Pan's Labyrinth.

I feel like everything he touches is gold.

I didn't like Pan's Labyrinth.

I just, I don't know.

Listen,

All right.

So we were going to do Pan's Labyrinth.

And unfortunately, when I went to stream it, I discovered that although it's listed everywhere as streaming, it was pulled for the 20th anniversary event.

Womp womp.
