Dune

from The Review · host The Atlantic

David Sims, Shirley Li, and Spencer Kornhaber discuss the new big-budget adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 classic Dune. The ur-text of modern sci-fi, Dune has a legacy that echoes through Star Wars, Alien, and countless Hero’s Journey epics. Does Denis Villeneuve succeed where David Lynch failed? Does its Chosen One narrative feel stale after so many imitations, or does the novel’s own skepticism of messianic belief shine through?” Also: Worms! They're big. But what kitchen implement do they resemble most? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
