Show Notes

This movie is weird

David Lynch. Return of the Jedi. Different editions of the film. Alan Smithee. Internal monologues.

Dune politics

Before Game of Thrones, this was a new level of deep. Game theory and politics.

Anti-digitalism

Mentats. Eyebrows.

Spice

Like oil? Drugs?

Treatment of Homosexuality

Was Frank Herbert homophobic? Considering the man and the time in which it was written.

Gods and Cults

How the movie and the book had opposite lessons. Making it rain.
