    Games and Stuff Acquires the Crystal of Truth: Interview with Paul (Julien’s Auction Winner)

    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.

    Is The Dark Crystal a Halloween Movie?

    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.
