It's DUNE time again, the spice must flow, the podcast must uhhh ummmm be recorded and released.

What a wonderful, special episode we have for you. Joining us is major spice-head Aren Bergstrom, a huge Dune fan, cinephile and fellow movie podcaster. We do talk about Dune, don't worry, but first we have an extended riff on hot button film criticism and culture topics: Lights Camera Jackson, They Shoot Pictures Don't They, Film Twitter, Letterboxd, LexG, and so much more. 

We also talk about some other films we watched recently, SHADOWS OF FORGOTTEN ANCESTORS, PERFECT DAYS, and EXODUS. Of course we discuss the career and films of French-Canadian auteur(?) Denis Villeneuve as well. 

You can listen to Aren and his brothers talk about film on the 3 Brothers Filmcast and check out their website 3brothersfilm.com
