With the release of the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune there are now three live action adaptations of the story. In this episode we examine the Lynch, Harrison, and Villeneuve adaptations. We discuss what we like about each one and talk about the things that we felt do not work in each. We compare notes on the various portrayals of characters and debate what worked and what didn’t in terms of an adaptation and in terms of telling the narrative each version was trying to tell. We also get into production values, visual aesthetics, and musical choices. By the end we ensure that everyone responds to the question, “How You Dune?”

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Kevin; Jess; and newcomers, Nathan and Van, join the cast.
