Episode 33 | Dune(1984) and Dune(2021) with Special Guest Josh Wilber

Alex and Davis welcome friend of the show Josh Wilber into the studio to discuss the recent space epic from Denis Villeneuve, Dune, as well as the original 1984 film from David Lynch and how the book by Frank Herbert compares to both. With two movies to discuss, the news segment to open the show is very light with brief discussions about the trailers for Lightyear and the Book of Boba Fett as well as the potential John Wick spinoff starring Ana De Armas. After wrapping up the weekly news the trio dives right into Dune(1984) and the discussion takes a mostly negative turn as they find little that they enjoy from the film, including a few absurd style choices that were not present in the original novel and horrible exposition to open the film. The review of Dune(2021) is more positive, focusing on the film's A-list cast, stunning visual effects and well executed exposition. They wrap up the show with a discussion of potential casting choices for Dune Part 2, set to release in 2023.
