The Dark Crystal

In this episode, we venture into the alien world of Thra to dissect Jim Henson and Frank Oz's 1982 landmark film, The Dark Crystal. We explore how this ambitious "dark fantasy" project pushed the boundaries of puppetry and storytelling, moving away from the lightheartedness of the Muppets to create a rich, somber, and deeply mystical universe on the Back to the Past Podcast from the M&J Creations Studios on the Lion's Den Podcast Network powered by Stark Roofing!
