New episode of the podcast is out now! First show for 2026.

In this episode of Dreamspace: A Dark Crystal Podcast, Phil and Sydnni return for a brand new year and welcome a very special guest Paul Alexander Butler from Games and Stuff.

Paul joins us to tell the incredible story of how he unexpectedly became the owner of the screen-used Crystal of Truth from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance after Julien’s Auction. From bidding drama and surprise emails to shipping a seven-foot prop like a priceless artifact, this is a true collector’s quest, and a win for the entire Dark Crystal community.

We also talk about fandom, storytelling spaces, tabletop gaming culture, and why it matters that this legendary prop will be displayed publicly for fans to experience.

Hey everyone, we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2026. Sorry about lack of shows last couple months, we’ve been busy with life, we’ll be back next year to get back into recording more episodes for 2026. We’ll have plenty to celebrate in the new year with 7 years of Age of Resistance (7 special number with 7 Gelfling clans) but also 10 years with first YA novel release ‘Shadows of the Dark Crystal’. Comment below what you’d like to hear from us talk about on the podcast in 2026.

The coverage continues as Brian Henson has spoken about that The Jim Henson Company is still exploring new ways to continue The Dark Crystal’s story.

I do believe the big issue is Netflix owning the rights to Age of Resistance, once the rights revert back to the Jim Henson Company (if it ever does revert back to them 100%) that I think they would be able to move forward should they want to continue the story from Age of Resistance.

I feel that they need to wrap the story left untold after Age of Resistance before if they ever decide to revive Power of the Dark Crystal (or any sequel story that takes place after the original film). I had always thought they could tell other stories from distant past of Age of Resistance whilst they’re awaiting to have full ownership to the show - Phil

New episode of the podcast is out now. Link in the bio or visit our website darkcrystalpodcast.com

This episode, hosts Phil and Sydnni return to the Dreamspace to dive into a spirited discussion just in time for the spooky season — could The Dark Crystal actually be considered a Halloween movie? With Fathom Events bringing Jim Henson’s fantasy classic back to theatres in October, the hosts explore the film’s darker tones, eerie atmosphere, and the haunting beauty that makes it a perfect addition to any Halloween watchlist.

From mysterious trailers that once scared theater audiences in 1982, to the film’s near-Christmas release and its potential as both a Halloween and Christmas classic, Phil and Sydnni unpack the uncanny magic that makes The Dark Crystal timeless. Along the way, they share updates from the wider Henson world and reflect on how the changing seasons — both in life and in Thra — always bring new reasons to return to The Dark Crystal.

Who’s looking forward to seeing the film on the big screen this October?

6 years ago today, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance brought us back to Thra with 10 fantastic episodes of television, hence the tribute with showcase of the title cards for each episode.

There’s never been a tv show like Age of Resistance and who knows if there ever will be. Much like how there’s never been a film like The Dark Crystal.

I’m so grateful for the show and thank you to everyone who worked on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

What was your favorite moment from Age of Resistance? Let’s celebrate together in the comments.

Happy Leo season and Leo New moon! As Leo is ruled by the sun, it seemed the appropriate time to highlight this beautiful card in the Dark Crystal tarot deck by and

In tarot, The Sun is the 9th card in the Major Arcana! And if you're super nerdy like us about the Dark Crystal, you know how "3's" appear all over the mythos of Thra (and what is 9 but three threes)! The Sun card signifies optimism, the triumphant emergence of light after darkness, and victorious fulfillment. The Sun is life energy in its purest form!

In this deck, the card is represented by the Three Suns (or the "brothers"), shining above Vliste Staba, the Great Tree of Grot. How perfectly fitting to represent hope and victory in the sunlight, the tree emerging from the dark caves and into the bright warmth, the start of Deet's heroic journey and a beacon of light ahead of shadow.
