The Lore Axe is a show where we break down some of the world's most popular fictional worlds -- from sci-fi and fantasy to video games and literature -- and explore them in depth from a philosophical, historical, and sociological lens.
Presented and created by Khalil Thirloway and Alex Hamilton, two friends who needed an outlet to talk about things way too deeply without irritating their friends at gatherings.

We finalise our series on Frank Herbert's Dune series by reflecting on the release of Dune: Part Two -- Denis Villeneuve's take on the second half of the first Dune book. As hot takes fly around the internet in reaction to the film, and the themes it presents, we ask why people don't understand Villeneuve's intentions. Is this the reason the original Dune series had a foreward by Herbert himself, warning about demagoguery and the threat of hero worship?
