'Dune'
Episode description
Put on your stillsuits and activate your body shields because it’s time to talk about Denis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated and spice-filled adaptation of “Dune.” To commemorate this (soon to be) two-part epic, Nick and Sophia begin by giving a full breakdown of their journey to Arrakis and some background info of the production. Then, what better way to highlight the huge cast than by playing “Smash or Pass,” an unhinged mini-game where they, well...you better listen to find out (34:28). Finally, in Part Two, they channel their Bene Gesserit abilities to predict the film’s Oscar potential and debate how strong of an awards season contender it could be (49:21).
