Ep. 71 - Dune

Like Mother, Like Son, Like Movies

Denis Villeneuve's cinematic adaptation of Dune has been winning over critics as well as the box office. Considering the troubled history of adapting the book, releasing a satisfying singular vision is an achievement by itself. Next to this monumental release, the opinions of some son and mother can't help to feel little bit insignificant. All we can really do in the end is talk about our experience that - like my mother points out - has been years in the making. In the discussion we explore the perspectives of someone who didn't know anything about Dune beforehand and someone who is familiar with the book and it's previous adaptations.
