Ep. 176: The Dark Crystal

Zo enters a world of magic, rot and decay. This world shouldn't be this way as this magical place was once green and briming with life. In time Zo finds out that a prophecy must be fulfilled in order for this world to be restored to its former glory. A rare being, a Gelfling who is guided by creatures known as the Mystics, is said to be the one to find the Crystal Shard that can be used to heal the world. On his way this Gelfling may find allies, but there are also numerous adversaries in the wilds. The wicked rulers of this world, known as the Skeksis, will stop at nothing to prevent the prophesy from coming to pass. They would do anything to prevent any surviving Gelfling from using the Crystal Shard to restore The Dark Crystal. Episode Segments00:04:08 - Opening Credits for The Dark Crystal starring Jim Henson, Frank Oz, & Kathryn Mullen00:18:17- Favorite Parts of the 1982 film: The Dark Crystal00:56:09 - Trivia from the movie The Dark Crystal01:03:25 - Critics' Thoughts on Jim Henson and Frank Oz's The Dark Crystal Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: [email protected]: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.
