Episode 34: Dune or Dune Not?
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Welcome to this special episode celebrating the release of Dune, the new feature film based on Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic! We kickoff the episode by walking you through our VIP experience at the Hollywood premiere and breaking down all our favorite moments from the movie including holographic cab drivers, Timothee Chalamet playing Timothee Chalamet, and a surprise cameo/love story. Then, Brett, someone who has never read Dune, provides an in-depth synopsis of the story, settings, and characters of the Duneverse. Parker and Daniel give a true synopsis afterwards, but it really makes you think about what could've been. Finally, we finish off the episode by playing a classic round(s) of "Dune or Dune Not?"
