Coming of Age Stories
Jim Henson: Idea Man (with Tom Christophersen)
I welcome back the wonderful Tom Christophersen to talk about Ron Howard's documentary film 'Jim Henson: Idea Man'. We explore the life and career of Jim Henson, and along the way talk about what we sacrifice to make art, discuss the comparisons between Henson and David Lynch, and whether Disney+ and Ron Howard were the best people to tell this story. But also, how can you capture such a complex and creative man, a person who thought about opening a series of nightclubs, but then made Sesame Street instead?
You can find Tom's work at their website here, and also find them on social media at @_tompoly.
