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.



Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We close out our three-part series on the Dune universe by taking a critical look at the nature of power, feminism, gender, and sexual identity in Dune. From the Bene Gesserit to Baron Harkonnen, how does Herbert approach the nature of patriarchal society in a future scifi setting? And why do are there still questions about his treatment of the only openly queer character in the series?
