This week Megan and Beau begin their Dunecation with a look at another expansive, over-the-top SciFi/Fantasy/Desert-Dwelling book they love, The Gunslinger. The hosts talk similarities to Dune, overall themes, and spare plenty of time to complain about the movie. Here in Mid-World everyone is an archetype and nobody wins.

Megan and Beau are back (with complete and normal audio) to discuss the LAST CHAPTER of Book 1 of Dune! There is a lot going on here but mostly Paul being a very, very shitty teen. This is a chapter that deserves it's own soundtrack. Also, Megan rants about Bond, Beau rants about Holmes, and we look forward to the upcoming episodes!

Due to technical difficulties that will become clear, Beau and Megan had to make this a short episode with the basic rundown of what happens in this chapter, which is a lot! The baron's arrival, Yueh's Fate, Duke Leto's final revenge. We'll be back next week with new equipment and the end of book 1!

This week Doctor Yueh begins to suspect he might not be a good dude, we answer your questions, and have some major revelations about Space Doctors.

This action-packed chapter starts off with a bang...ing talk about Kyle Reese in The Terminator! Beau has had it with Teenaged Messiah's and Megan has a lot to say about Folk Horror. Oh and Jessica is once again the biggest badass in the room and completely unappreciated for it. Also, we read your questions and attempt to answer them as best we can!

This week Megan and Beau discuss the short but pivotal chapter eighteen. The Atreides traitor is revealed and Duke Leto gets some quick dental work. Megan and Beau talk bratty teen Heroes who treat their moms like garbage, why Lady Jessica (and Gabrielle Deschain) deserved better. Also cookies, toys, and more discussion about the Forsyte Saga that probably any other Dune Podcast!

Megan and Beau are back to talk about a chapter that is almost as frustrating as it is satisfying. Lady Jessica proves herself to be the HBGIC by dealing with Drunk Duncan before giving Thufir Hawat a glorious set-down and we're all left wondering if there are ANY grown men in this book.

This week Megan and Beau discuss Chapter Sixteen, The Problem with Leto, horribly awkward toasts, Paul's continuing virginity, sparkly outfits, rabbit tongues in special sauce, and why Jack White would have made a better Gurney Halleck.

This week Megan and Beau are slightly more subdued as they unpack this Shai Hulud-sized chapter. In this episode they ask such questions as "are the Bene Gesserit the 23 and Me of the future?" and "Is Gurney in the Beyhive?" but most importantly they'll sympathize with the water-fat-shaming Dr Kynes as he repeatedly asks "WHO IS THIS KID??"
