The Dark Crystal: I Don't Remember the Muppets Being This Nightmarish
Manage episode 375095568 series 3313835
Have you been waiting for a podcast with an episode about a movie telling a story about the mysterious Dark Crystal? Have you often wondered how it was damaged by one of the Urskeks, thus setting off an age of chaos? And did you then want to know how it lead to an evil race of grotesque birdlike lizards, the Skeksis, ruling their fantastic planet with an iron claw, where no Gelfling (kind of an elf looking thing) was safe? Wow, this is really weird, because this week, the Split Happens sisters are talking all about the wonder that is Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy classic, The Dark Crystal.
ANNA-is the pro this week, and she is more excited than a bunch of a Skeksis at an all you can eat Gelfling buffet. She is armed with trivia, the absolute gem that is Aughra, tequila, more tequila, Colorado altitude, and tequila. Katrina should be no match for the red button of doom, right?
KATRINA-is the con, and she is more terrified of tearing down this beloved childhood classic than a Podling at an essence sucking convention. That sounds so wrong, but once you write it, it stays in. Can she successfully toss her shots of tequila behind her back like they do in the movies so she can keep her wits about her? Only if she successfully does it the first time, because after that, all bets are off. Listen and find out!
