Deep into August, the DtW team treks into the 80s with a film that resonates with an audience of a certain age, The NeverEnding Story! Dan and Raul are both interested in the legacy left by one of a few fantasy flicks they remember as formative for their age group and dove into the world of Fantasia. Old-school fantasy story beats mix with ahead-of-their-time tropes like meta-narratives and crossing realities when a bookish kid hides from the world with a stolen book that literally places the reader at the center of the story. Does it hold up? Can it live up to the memory of one host and the expectations of another after a lifetime of hearing about Atreyu and Artax swashbuckling across our imaginations? Is there... an ending??? These guys answer some of those questions, maybe!
