We are smack dab in the middle of David Lynch December, our followup to David Lynch January, as we take a look at the auteur's attempt to adapt one science fiction's most epic stories, Dune. It follows House Atreides as they are moved to the desert world Arrakis to overlook the harvesting of a spice that powers the universe. Lynch as met his match with a source material just as esoteric and bizarre as he is. It's a wild ride that bombed at the box office but has become a cult classic in the years since. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the film, all of the related ephemera surrounding the film, and the upcoming remake.
