Episode 264: Dune: Part II Special Edition
Manage episode 405383281 series 3254523
There have been plenty of attempts to adapt Dune, but none seemed to have captured the magic of the source material. Is Frank Herbert’s classic unfilmable? Whether you are a series expert or are just watching the new films in a vacuum, there are some noticeable flaws in the movie.
Characters are a big part of the movie, and there is one who stands out from the rest. We talk about the amazing performances, the baffling decisions, and how Dune: Part II’s most important character is done a disservice. We also talk about how it managed to pack the cast with big name stars without making any seem underused - kinda.
Dune: Part II also shows how it is possible to have an epic movie without any epic moments. Anyone who watched Spider-Man turn to dust will never forget that moment. Nothing remotely close ever happens in Part II, though it tries extremely hard.
Plus, our pro tip on how to get the most out of the new Dune movies.
