The Dark Crystal. Jim Henson had made a name for himself with The Muppets but he wanted more and in 1982 the world was introduced to a new film, staring only puppets, that felt more like the dark Grimms' Fairy Tales than the lighthearted work he'd become known for. In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris are joined by Nic Anastassiou to talk about The Dark Crystal. We discuss a unique experience, the Genesis, growing up, the two that are one, Thra history, a world changed, powerful messages, the music, ratings and our recommendations.
