0121: Dune

Published: Nov. 11, 2019, 2 p.m.

For the first of our new format birthday picks we watch Sam's choice, Dune. With Denis Villenueve currently deep into post-production on a big budget remake we return to the 1984 Lynch original to try and make sense of the plot, confront our childhood PTSD from that scene with the hand, and get into some pretty heavy Dune book spoilers towards the end of the pod. You have been warned. Next week we're watching Doom. Yes, the one with The Rock. Also, in an effort to help you out when we reference things elsewhere here are some show notes.
