Episode 8- The Dark Crystal (1982)
from VHS Sisters · host The VHS Sisters
MMMMMMMMMM!!!! Today's episode is SUPER special for us because it took MANY MANY months of cajoling to get Melanie to actually sit down and watch this! And even though The Dark Crystal was not marketed as an actual *horror* movie, we are keeping with our spooky movie theme this month because Melanie definitely got some new nightmare fuel from this film. We yap about more puppet trauma, the importance of high-femme fantasy characters, biodiversity, and manage to sprinkle in some of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey in there for all of you NERDS who listen! Correction: Saysha says that Jim Henson was inspired by lobster shells to create the Garthim design, when it was actually Brain Froud who was so inspired!The World of The Dark Crystal documentary: https://youtu.be/p-f54lkXhbQ?si=hrQJvbP0ecGeJYRbPlease leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast
