In this very special episode, Anne and Matt break down the new Dune movie from two very different perspectives. Matt approaches it as a relatively new fan who's read the first book and has a passing knowledge of the Dune universe. Anne, on the other hand, lends her perspective as a complete newcomer to the series. They'll discuss the movie, the music, the cinematography, Oscar Isaac's incredible hair and beard, bagpipe music, and the tragic fate of House Atreides. PLUS: creepy space witches, the influence of Dune on other science fiction sagas, Zendaya in a music video, and how pairing a normal first name like "Duncan" with a state like "Idaho" makes for a really good laugh.
