FailurePiece Theater ep 05: Some Like it Haderach - Dune (1984)

from Failurepiece Theater · host FailurePiece Theater

Up on the block this week is a personal fave (for both of us) and perhaps one of the biggest box office bombs of all time--David Lynch's adaptation of Dune. It's packed with messy storytelling, incredible production design, and some undefinable special quality that makes us both love it unreasonably. Come along as we take a verbal stroll through Frank Herbert's incredibly dense world of monsters, madmen, and superbeings, won't you?

Finding Quantum Quest Du Vide Media Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey might be the biggest movie you've never heard of. It's a 2010 animated sci-fi movie starring Chris Pine, John Travolta, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amanda Peet, James Earl Jones, Mark Hamill, William Shatner, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Alexander, Sandra Oh, and Neil Armstrong. It ran in one theater in Kentucky, then disappeared forever. It never got a wide theatrical release or home video release and it's never been on any streaming services. I set out to find Quantum Quest and along the way found there's a lot more to this story than your typical lost media piece, and the butterfly effect of this movie reaches further than I could have imagined. Finding Quantum Quest started as the search for a lost movie but ended up being much more. I spoke with filmmakers, actors, NASA employees, and neuroscientists who led me down a rabbit hole of art, science, exploration, and ultimately what it means to be human. Explicit Death on the Lot Hyperobject Industries / Sony Music Entertainment We’re getting into 1950s Hollywood, ground zero for a cultural transformation that would upend every aspect of Americans’ lives. A movie theater in every city, a TV in every living room, and a Post-war America determined to be happy at any cost. Also during this period… a slew of untimely Hollywood deaths. The rules of the road for the next seventy years were being written in real-time, and not everyone would make it out alive. This is the story of how Hollywood sold us on a new American Dream, and left a few unlucky stars holding the bag.Hosted by Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice, Succession).Death on the Lot is part of The Binge - subscribe to listen to all episodes, all at once, ad-free right now.
