  This interview contains SPOILERS for The Boroughs! Sydnni welcomes back writers and showrunners Will Matthews and Jeffrey Addiss to discuss their brand new Netflix series The Boroughs. In this conversation, Will and Jeffrey talk about how their work on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance helped lead to their collaboration with the Duffer Brothers, the origins of The Boroughs, and the process of creating an original sci-fi adventure about aging, time, monsters, memory, and found family. They also dive into building the show’s “Gray Rebellion,” writing older characters as heroes rather than punchlines, the real world inspirations behind the retirement community, working with an incredible ensemble cast, their cameo in the series, and the production’s sustainability efforts.

  Oct 7, 20251h 10m

  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.
