Songs of 1992
<p>After Nevermind permanently altered the musical landscape in 1991, the following year continued music's fractured attempt to catch up with rapidly changing styles.

Labyrinth
<p>Though dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, on this episode we celebrate 40 years of the babe with the power, as Jennifer Connelly braves her way through Jim Henson's "Labyrinth". Full of astounding designs, puppetry, humor, and iconic songs from a mesmerising David Bowie, while Labyrinth was not an immediate financial success, the film's undeniable awesomeness has proven it still has power over you. We're joined by guest Josh Covel of the Still Loading podcast (and our co-host on the Jim Henson retrospective podcast "Still Muppeting") to celebrate one of the greatest movies of the 1980s. Come inside, and have a nice cup of tea!</p> <p>Be sure to also check out our monthy musical podcast, "Playing By Ear" (<a href="https://playingbyear.fireside.fm" rel="nofollow noopener">https://playingbyear.fireside.fm</a>). If you enjoyed this, it's also part of our aforementioned limited-run Jim Henson Series, "Still Muppeting" (<a href="http://www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod" rel="nofollow noopener">www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod</a>).</p> <p>We also had the pleasure of recently guesting on The Pop Break's retrospective on Beck, "Podelay!" specifically covering his album "Guero". Head to <a href="http://www.thepopbreak.com" rel="nofollow noopener">www.thepopbreak.com</a> to listen.</p> <p>Next week we'll be on the Table Top Hot Takes podcast (<a href="https://tabletop-hot-takes.captivate.fm/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://tabletop-hot-takes.captivate.fm/</a>) discussing Final Fantasy IX. </p> <p>If you have feedback, find us on the socials here:<br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/265036650022926/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/265036650022926/</a><br> The symbol formerly known as Twitter: @nostalgiumpod<br> BlueSky: @nostalgiumpod.bsky.social<br> Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@_nostalgium_arcanum_" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.threads.net/@_nostalgium_arcanum_</a><br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_nostalgium_arcanum_/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.instagram.com/_nostalgium_arcanum_/</a></p> <p>You can also use YouTube, if that's your thing: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NostalgiumArcanum/podcasts" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@NostalgiumArcanum/podcasts</a></p> <p>Be sure to follow us on Instagram in particular since that's where we post bonus content, and on TikTok (@nostalgiumarcanum) for Doug's impressions.</p> <p>Musical Credits:</p> <p>Intro - Dark Flute (Jim Guthrie)<br> All songs from Labyrinth by David Bowie<br> All score from Labyrinth by Trevor Jones</p>

The Rocketeer
<p>For the 35th anniversary of The Rocketeer, we don a jetpack and blast off for derring-do with test pilot-turned-hero Cliff Secord. The film's patriotic spirit, beautiful art deco design, and sparkling performances from leads Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Paul Sorvino, and Timothy Dalton take what could have been an ordinary movie into the stratosphere. Guest Tarik Davis (@tarikrdavis, tarikrdavis.com) joins us to take to the skies, punch some Nazis, and celebrate 35 years of this high-flying adventure film.</p> <p>You can find Tarik on NBC's The Amber Ruffin Show, and on his essential podcast, Brothers From Another Planet, see him perform live with Freestyle Love Soupreme.</p> <p>More importantly, Tarik's short film "Doc - Race, Revolution, Relativity, and the Confessions of a Time Travelling Terrorist" is now out and you can (and should) watch it here: (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-uBvVgBTIY" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-uBvVgBTIY</a>) The trailer for his new short film, "We're Not In Harlem Anymore", is available here: (<a href="https://youtu.be/M6KTil92tX8?si=p1emxuYOa8c7ZQJa" rel="nofollow noopener">https://youtu.be/M6KTil92tX8?si=p1emxuYOa8c7ZQJa</a>)</p> <p>Be sure to also check out our monthy musical podcast, "Playing By Ear" (<a href="https://playingbyear.fireside.fm" rel="nofollow noopener">https://playingbyear.fireside.fm</a>) and our limited-run Jim Henson Series, "Still Muppeting" (patreon.com/stillloadingpod).</p> <p>If you have feedback, find us on the socials here:<br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/265036650022926/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/265036650022926/</a><br> The symbol formerly known as Twitter: @nostalgiumpod<br> BlueSky: @nostalgiumpod.bsky.social<br> Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@_nostalgium_arcanum_" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.threads.net/@_nostalgium_arcanum_</a><br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_nostalgium_arcanum_/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.instagram.com/_nostalgium_arcanum_/</a></p> <p>You can also use YouTube, if that's your thing: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NostalgiumArcanum/podcasts" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@NostalgiumArcanum/podcasts</a></p> <p>Be sure to follow us on Instagram in particular since that's where we post bonus content, and on TikTok (@nostalgiumarcanum) for Doug's impressions.</p> <p>Musical Credits: </p> <p>Intro - Dark Flute (Jim Guthrie)<br> All score from "The Rocketeer" by James Horner<br> Punch A Nazi In The Face - Joyride</p>
