5.14 Dune(2021)

New Dune? New guest! Dune enthusiast J.J. (yes, he's played the board game) guides us through the newest adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, a novel neither Aaron nor Elizabeth has ever read. Does the movie work both on its own merit and on the basis of adaptation? What are Herbert's and Villeneuve's thoughts on feminism, classism, and colonialism? Why does Zendaya pull a Sephiroth from FF7 remake? All this and more lie before you, spread out in this episode like so much spice on the surface of Arrakis. *Of course, you should read Dune. Probably also Game of Thrones. But the biggest thank you goes to Lucky 13's tattoo aftercare, our sponsor.*
