In our first full episode covering Dune Book 1, the boys set their objective to cover pages 1-253….and utterly failed! This episode covers chapter one exclusively but fret not, like Jeff says “This is the Dune universe- there’s a lot of detail in there and we’re here for the people that love it”.  Plus,  there’s more thrown on the plate in chapter 1 of Dune than pre-Covid Thanksgiving dinner at grandma’s.

We dive right into some of the religious, historic, and linguistic influences and references from our current world in the Dune universe 10,000+ years into the future; they’re all right there in Chapter 1. 

Recorded mid-December, 2020;  be on the lookout for future historic references to Warner Brothers announcing their entire 2021 threatre run going to HBO Max, references to the Dune 2021 movie trailer, and that its theatrical run was pushed from December 2020 to Late 2021 due to the Covid19 Pandemic.
