Jim Henson's The Cube (1969): The Weirdest Movie He Ever Made

📽️ Jim Henson’s The Cube (1969): The Weirdest Movie He Ever Made
Before the world knew him for Kermit and Miss Piggy, Jim Henson was pushing the boundaries of experimental television. Originally aired as part of the NBC Experiment in Television series in 1969, The Cube is a surreal, psychological "mind-melt" that feels more like an episode of The Twilight Zone or a precursor to Severance than a Muppet production.

The Premise: An unnamed man (Richard Schaal) wakes up in a featureless white cube. He’s not alone for long—a parade of bizarre visitors, from scientists and philosophers to guitar-playing keys-holders and even a "monk" with an orb full of strawberry jam, enter and exit through doors that only they can use. As the man's sanity unravels, he is forced to confront the ultimate question: What is reality?

Why You Should Watch:
Dark Henson: Discover the "unfiltered" side of Henson’s genius—probing, dark, and deeply philosophical.

Psychological Mind-Games: It explores themes of free will, isolation, and how society imposes "realities" on the individual.

60s Avant-Garde: A perfect time capsule of 1960s experimental filmmaking and absurdist humor.

If you love obscure media, surrealist cinema, or just want to see what the creator of the Muppets did when he was given total creative freedom on network TV, this is a must-watch.
