Join the crew as we tackle the incredibly epic sci-fi sequel, Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two! Did this movie meet our expectations, and was it better than Part One? We discuss all of our initial thoughts and theater experiences before diving into the movie.

We get into all the amazingly detailed world of the Fremen, discuss Paul's relationship with Chani and his "hero" journey as he rises to become the Lisan al-Gaib, and ponder whether we should be rooting for Paul or not right now.  Outside of The Fremen, we get into new aspects of the story such as The Emperor, and our visit to the Harkonnen homeworld, Giedi Prime. We discuss the creative decisions made for this planet, as well as the thrilling performance of Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

Finally, we discuss that INSANE third act and where we think the story could go from here. Also, we hype ourselves up to read the book and plan a future episode comparing Denis' work to Frank Herberts original vision!

Scored by Hans Zimmer and starring Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, Christopher Walken, Florence Pugh, Stellan Skarsgard, and more…this movie has all the workings of a historic epic, and we had a blast talking about it.

ENJOY!
