RJ and Tyler talk about how The Matrix film franchise owes so much of its inspiration to Frank Herbert's 1965 novel "Dune." They compare characters -- Neo is Paul Atriedes, duh -- and themes that overlap between the two properties as well as what Herbert was actually writing about: his distrust of superheroes, fascism, demagogues and dictators.
