Josh Reviews Jim Henson Idea Man
Jim Henson Idea Man is a documentary directed by Ron Howard (Willow, Parenthood, Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon, Solo: A Star Wars Story), exploring the life and work of Jim Henson. This is a beautiful film that shines a well-deserved light on the genius Jim Henson. It’s incredible to
