Randy and Kris are joined by Abby Greiner, a lover of fandoms, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and a crafter of artisanal dragon eggs! Abby is here to chat about formative fantasy property The Dark Crystal (1982), a film that has left a profound mark on her style, interests, and hobbies. The guys also weigh in with their thoughts after watching this classic for the very first time.
Together, they explore the influences that made this film possible, from Jim Henson, to concept designer Brian Froud, and even Star Wars! Most importantly, they capture the skill and thought that went into the art design, puppetry, and complex philosophy of the fantasy planet Thra.
Consider checking out Abby’s lovely Etsy shop to pick up a custom dragon egg for the fantasy nerd in your life. You can shop her magical wares at the Dragonary!
