Episode 409: Sand Trap: Dune (2021)

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Dune (2021) is the third effort to adapt Frank Herbert's landmark 1965 novel. After the first cinematic attempt 1984 (too compressed) and a later mini-series 2000 (faithful but slow) failed to do justice to the source material a different approach was needed. Is it possible to spoil a 55 year old story? Let's just say the execution this time around was clearly ambitious in regard to production … if not in scope. Halloween is a favorite holiday for the Regular Joe's. This episode they take time out to talk about some of their favorite costumes in the distant, and not too distant past. Successes, failures, and some ideas never fully realized. There's also the usual Random Topics and a round of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening!
