2019 will be the 20th anniversary of science fiction series Farscape. Amazon is celebrating by bringing the ENTIRE series to their streaming service beginning tomorrow, March 19th, the anniversary of the show’s first airing. Chairman of The Jim Henson Company Brian Henson commented about the release, saying: “Farscape is one of my most favorite productions, and I […]

If you’ll recall, Netflix has a series from The Jim Henson Company on the docket which is currently in production based on The Dark Crystal. Which, of course, is what we wanted to ask Brian Henson about during his interview session at Dragon Con 2018. “It’s been shooting since last November — it’s so cool that […]

Brian Henson hates to sound like a broken record, but he does want to assure fans that he hasn’t forgotten about Farscape. Two years ago, also at Dragon Con no less, Henson confirmed the longstanding rumor that he was indeed working on a Farscape feature film. Time has obviously passed since then, and while it’s still on […]

One of the scheduled highlights that we knew we absolutely had to attend at Dragon Con this year was the LIVE Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge. When the live challenge was announced by Brian Henson and Dragon Con last month, we were ecstatic, having been huge fans of the single season run that aired on SYFY. Contestants […]

We had such high hopes for Brian Henson’s The Happytime Murders. While it wasn’t horrible (although current critical reception would paint it that way), there will be a certain type of audience who just won’t like it.

I’m a massive Muppets fan, and while they haven’t always been featured in the best films, the pure fondness factor will earn a lot of latitude. When the trailer for The Happytime Murders first came along I was on cloud nine — a combination of gumshoe noir, a puppet-inhabited world, and set in a sex-fueled […]

It’s almost time for fans from all over the world to converge on Downtown Atlanta over Labor Day weekend to celebrate the 31st Dragon Con. One of the special things about the event annually is the cosplay and incredible builds the talented creators bring to the Peach Tree center hotels, and the convention is giving […]

There are few names as instantly recognizable in the world of puppetry as “Henson”.  I  mean we say that name, and you’re instantly thinking of the Muppets, right?  Trying to find  the right words to adequately explain what the Muppets and films of the Hensons have meant to me, to my family, to EVERYONE is […]

Who among us didn’t grow up with the Muppets in some way?  From Sesame Street to the classic Muppet Show and films, Kermit and his crew have been a stable for children and adults alike for going on almost 60 years.  No you read that right,almost 60 YEARS.  The first appearance of Jim Henson and […]
