## Resource

'The Dark Crystal' is a monument to craft, a movie made entirely with puppets, primative robots, strings, fog machines, lighting rigs, and spit. A true monument to analog filmmaking. But is it any good? We discuss. Matt rec . Corbin rec . Corbin apoligizes for rambling about rap lists like a weirdo at the end of this episode. Check out the show on Letterboxd if you're into that thing . Matt is also on there . We also got a Bluesky going ! Our next episode is about Nouvelle Vague, watch it here .
