The Dark Crystal
Jul 30, 2019, 01:00 PM
At the behest of a certain alligator-like customer, the crew watches Jim Henson's "all puppet" fantasy, The Dark Crystal, and decide whether it is deserving of its classic status among Henson's oeuvre or if it's merely a testament to the puppeteer's hubris.
When does a project go from "we've got a great story to tell" to "screw it, let's just see if we can make a movie with nothing but puppets!"? We try to answer that question, along with whether or not Jim Henson was really just an egomaniacal maniac as we delve deep into our first puppet feature; The Dark Crystal.
Listen as we discuss whether or not this movie would have been better with or without dialogue; we salute the film's willingness to terrify young children with the Garthims; and finally, we debate if The Dark Crystal was really just an excuse for Jim Henson to show off how big his puppet penis REALLY is.

We'll be back next week with another all new episode. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to stare into this crystal for a bit...
