Episode description
WATCH OUT, WOOOOOOORMS!
That's right, the Smug Book Club boys are back and talking about one of their all time favourite novels: 'Dune,' by Frank Herbert.
In this bumper-length episode (that just means we talked a whole load of nonsense for ages), we cover a veritable smorgasbord of topics. This includes:
- Our experience with Dune
- FRANK HERBERT FACTS
- What happened in 1964 (well, two things)
- How the story holds up today
- Whether Dune's gender politics are out of date
- Working out which character is the ABSOLUTE BOY
- Considering the environmental, ecological, and religious themes of the novel
- Dune cover art
- The movie adaptions
And that's just the summary of what we spoke. Lord, you are going to LOVE IT.
Anyway, buckle up on a Maker, snort some spice, and let's hit up Arrakis together.
