Denis de Villneuve's Dune has exploded in our minds, and we have opinions about it. We compare it to David Lynch's film, Jodowrosky's unmade film, and go off on a few mild tangents. Duke, duke, duke!

It's not an April Fool's Joke this time.

We have a series of agreements about film adaptations of Arthurian Legend, beginning with The Green Knight and ending with John Boorman's Excalibur, which is objectively the best King Arthur movie. You can disagree, but you're wrong.

Lucky 13! We have a serious discussion of the filmography of Kevin Smith, comparing him to Quentin Tarantino, Charles Bukowski, and Henry Rollins. We mostly focus on Smith's "classic run" of View Askew films from 1993 to 2001.

A planned conversation about vampire comedy rapidly morphs into reminisences of the Goth scene, the spontaneous MST3Kness of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Where Horror Is Now, and the decline of Mel Brooks. Also features some preview info on the next issue of UJ. Fans of What We Do In Shadows welcome.

The long-promised episode, finally a reality.

An encompassing extrapolation from the plot structures and themes of "The Venture Brothers" and "Archer" to the general cultural-aesthetic vibe of Generation X and a lot of windy references to Greek Philosophy.
