August Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss10 of 10
"The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" | Premieres Friday, Aug. 30, on Netflix
It’s been 37 years since the The Dark Crystal, and my inner Gelfling-obsessed child is over the moon that Netflix and The Jim Henson Co. are bringing this vibrant fantasy world back to life in the 10-episode prequel series (plus making-of documentary) "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance." As someone who saw the film multiple times in the cinema; owned the movie poster, soundtrack, and picture-book adaptation; and really wanted to be Gelfling, I can say my nostalgia for this series is a solid 10/10. The impressive cast includes, Awkwafina, Taron Egerton, Mark Hamill, Lena Headey, and Helena Bonham Carter. — Vanessa
