THE NEVERENDING STORY
On his way to school, Bastian ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called “The Neverending Story,” Bastian begins reading the novel about Fantasia, a fantasy land threatened by “The Nothing,” a darkness that destroys everything it touches. The kingdom needs the help of a human child to survive. When Bastian reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantasia is real and needs him to survive.
Craig and guest co-host Brendan Agnew talk about kid movie influences, nihilism in children’s tales, horse trauma and the movie “The Neverending Story” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
