#14: Dune Swallows The Thing

We return to the studio for the first time in three months to talk about Dennis Villeneuve's #adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel #Dune, which many consider to be a #masterpiece amongst the myriad of space opera's and fantasy novels it inspired. Seun describes the film as a modern day masterpiece with amazing visuals, cinematography and performances whilst Olisa thinks it’s a refreshing film with some shortcomings that has ultimately piqued his interest in Frank Herbert's universe.
We also talk about #KunleAfolayan's latest offering on Netflix in the guise of #Swallow, an adaptation of Seffi Atta's book which follows the trials and #tribulations of a young woma , Tolani played by music artist Niyola, trying to survive in a 1980s Lagos without succumbing to the allure of the financial benefits of drug trafficking. We express our disappointment in the film’s reluctance to face the subject matter despite its solid cast and great cinematography.
Finally we rave about about John Carpenter's 1982 cult classic, The Thing, a movie which Olisa deems to be the scariest movie he has ever watched with Seun calling it a no nonsense horror schock that is expertly paced, tense as hell and a film everybody should at least watch once in their lifetime.

Seun got really really drunk after the one hour mark so please bear with, hope you like, enjoy 
