Ep 47: Dune (1984)

Published: March 17, 2022, 8:17 p.m.

Inhale some spice and get ready for the sandworm ride of your life, because we read Frank Herbert’s 1965 epic Dune and it’s 1984 adaptation written and directed by David Lynch. We get into the genius that is Herbert’s groundbreaking and genre-bending novel before trying to make sense of Sting in a space diaper. The confusion kicks off with Virginia Madsen’s disembodied head giving us a lot of exposition and things go down dune hill from there. Stay tuned for an episode on the 2021 Dune (the Radaptations debuts of Jason Momoa *and* Oscar Isaac?!).
