The Rainbow Connection: CineClub Reflects on Jim Henson

This week the CineClub team of Matthew, Rhys, Jake and Billy, fondly discuss the Muppets and their creator, Jim Henson.

They start with The Muppet Movie (1979), but with 8 Muppet films, 3 Television Films, a television series and television Specials, there’s plenty of Muppet content to talk about.

Not content with Muppets, the team then move on to Jim Henson’s non Muppet films, The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986) and Henson's particular take on the fantasy genre.

Our presenters are Matthew, Rhys, Jake and Billy. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.

This episode was recorded and produced by the CineClub members at the University of Sunderland. Special thanks to our technical team and academic staff.
