On the latest episode of The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, film critic and Dorian Awards voter Alistair Ryder pops by to chat to me about Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning fairytale Pan’s Labyrinth. It’s one of the monster maestro’s most poetic films and we discuss Doug Jones’s memorable creature work, the allegories about imagination and fascism, as well as how close Del Toro came to making The Hobbit.
