On this week's Dune Talk our special guest is Tom Huddleston and we're diving into his new book 'The Worlds of Dune'! This visually-appealing hardcover explores actual locations and people that inspired Frank Herbert, as he created universe of 'Dune'. Garin, Marcus, and Mark have questions on its historical revelations, including a few controversial themes. What did Herbert actually think about eugenics and psychedelics? How did Arabic and Native American cultures inform the Fremen, and are some of those influences being avoided in the movies?

We're back! For today's Dune Talk show, we're happy to bring you this interview with Dominic J. Nardi and N. Trevor Brierly. Our special guests are the editors of 'Discovering Dune: Essays on Frank Herbert’s Epic Saga' (2022), a collection of academic essays that brings together 14 insightful perspectives on the rich themes of 'Dune'—including politics, religion, ecology, and philosophy—as well as explorations into several of its key characters. Garin and Marcus bring their questions regarding "Political Prescience" and "A Critical Moment", the respective essays that Dominic and Trevor contributed. How is the paradox of prescience handled in Frank Herbert's works? How is religion portrayed in the 'Dune' books? We also get into the state of scholarship on 'Dune' and why the authors hope this new publication will inspire readers to continue their own exploration of this fascinating saga.

On this Dune Talk show, we interview two members of the Shiro Games team: community lead James Croucher and developer Tom Georgin. 'Dune: Spice Wars', the new 4X real-time strategy video game, arrived on Steam this past April to very positive reception from the community. The game is currently in Early Access, which means there are major updates to come—including the highly-demanded multiplayer mode. On this episode we discuss that and other exciting features on the 'Dune: Spice Wars' roadmap, including a fifth faction and hero units. James and Tom share about their experience working on the game and offer valuable insights into its unique gameplay elements.

We're back for our first release of 2022! On this Dune Talk show we're joined by Dr. Kara Kennedy (Dune Scholar) for an insightful interview about 'Women’s Agency in the Dune Universe: Tracing Women’s Liberation through Science Fiction', the new book based on her PhD and years of research.

Kara's study places 'Dune' within the context of the time period when the series was first published, including second-wave feminism, the new wave science fiction, and other key influences. We discuss how Frank Herbert's writing the Bene Gesserit's strengths in 'Dune' speaks to key themes of women's agency both in history and today's current issues. What are Kara's thoughts on the movie? She shares her critique and reactions to Denis Villeneuve’s 'Dune: Part One', and its portrayal of women.

We continue our scene-by-scene 'Dune: Part One' movie review. This week on Dune Talk we pick up from the 50-minute mark, with Paul walking into his first strategy meeting. Gurney takes the opportunity to embellish on the incident with the hunter, although this only partially lightens the mood. This passage of the film establishes how precarious the situation is for House Atreides and introduces us to two Fremen leaders, however highlight is the first encounter of Paul Atreides with the deep desert of Arrakis—there the spice melange causes an awakening deep inside. Finally, we get to see Salusa Secundus, homeworld of the feared Sardaukar warriors. We're going deep into all the details, so the show contains full spoilers for the movie.

On this week's show we continue our scene-by-scene 'Dune: Part One' breakdown, picking up from after the Gom Jabbar test (as covered last week). From the 29-minute mark of the movie, we explore revelations about the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and the symbolism in Paul's last moments on Caladan, where he lived for his first 15 years. As House Atreides arrive to take over Arrakis, there's so much happening—both in conversations and the visual spectacle. There's also the religious aspect of this story and we dive deep into the native peoples' beliefs and how the powers of the Imperium are involved in these messianic myths. Like previous episodes in this movie review sub-series, the discussion contains spoilers.

On Denis Villeneuve's 54th birthday 'Dune' hit a key milestone, closing its third weekend at $103.9M! Impressive considering that's only from 34 countries, but how does that compare to other movies like 'No Time to Die'? Johnny, Marcus, and Simon dive deep into the numbers: How well will 'Dune' have to do, to be considered a success? What role will HBO Max play? What's the break even point for the movie? Also, another clip from the movie was featured during Rebecca Ferguson's appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It's a really touching moment between Lady Jessica, her character and Duke Leto, played by Oscar Isaac. We explore what this scene tells us, both about their relationship and the wider Dune universe.
