I forgot to mention Manchester by the Sea as a movie to cry to but my god that film completely ruins me. Michelle Williams' "do you want to get lunch some time" is the single most innocous yet destructive line of dialogue
I've not read anyore of God Emperor of Dune since two podcasts ago, I felt like I needed something to disrupt the sameness of the narrative after only reading the first three books, so I picked up Sacred Hoops by Phil Jackson, which is a great and really easy read. Some people recommend that book as a good leadership/mentoring type read but I just like it for the Jordan stories.

I haven't got much further in God Emperor of Dune this week, sorry.
I've hit somewhat of a snag reading God Empeor of Dune. I am enjoying the narrative and I find Leto II a really interesting characters, with Herbert dialling up the introspection and making a very weird guy if not understandable, at least interesting, but I find that now, four books into the series, I would prefer a story that isn't about everyone trying to assassinate the Atreides. Bit of Fremen conquest maybe?? Oh yeah Tyronne Thomas joins us for this episode too.
Dune update: I'm about 100 pages into God Emperor of Dune and I'm enjoying it. It feels like Herbert is trying to write another version of Dune Messiah but this time do it properly. It's immediately obvious that the writing is much more polished in this one, and the time jump so far is working for me.
Talking origin: mate vs. mate, state vs. state, I didn't throw up on a train this weekend.
Bit of a bumper episode covering the last two weeks of the greatest game of all
