In this episode, Jaime and James talk about the creatures that populate the world of Thra. From the delicate Pluff'M, to the Landstriders and the Crystal Bats, they leave no stone unturned. Creating creatures to populate a world that does not exist was a monumental task for those who worked on the original 1982 film, and the colossal television show that's available on Netflix. We hope you enjoy this hour long dive into a world unlike any other. What is your favorite creature?

In this episode, James, and Jaime sit back down to discuss the Skeksis in all of their disgusting and amazing glory. Formidable, and frightening, ridiculous or comedic? The Skeksis are now legendary, yet complicated villains in a story that's as dense as it is simplistic. Join us for this satisfying discussion on all things Dark Crystal, in a world only Jim Henson could dream up.

On this episode of Trial By Stone, Sydnni and Phil chat about recent developments on the future of The Dark Crystal franchise from the latest Variety article on announcement of new primetime adventure series (not Dark Crystal related) collaboration with Norman Reedus and the Frouds.
The Jim Henson Company are ready to jump back into Thra, so long as they find someone (streaming service) to make it happen. We analyse the quote from Halle Stanford, discuss about strong possibilities with Dark Crystal on Apple TV+ following the release of Fraggle Rock and other possible streaming service contenders, speculate on the rights issues with Age of Resistance from Netflix and much more.
