Enter the world of Dune with Dodi and special guest Ronak Gupta. First, Dodi and Ronak fanboy about their shared admiration for Denis Villeneuve; they talk about Denis' visual storytelling and his penchant for using sound as a storytelling device. They then enter the world of Arrakis and Dune, revisiting the first film, before jumping into the latest entry in the franchise. Dodi and Ronak trace Paul Atreides' arc from naive young princeling to the promised saviour Lisan Al-Gaib, and break down Herbert's critique of the white saviour narrative. They specially praise Javier Bardem's Stilgar and Zendaya's Chani, before making some predictions for the potential third and final instalment.
Also, Dodi has a bit too much fun playing with his new soundboard.
