Episode Synopsis
One "who controls the spice, controls the universe." You guessed it! This week we're talking about Denis Villeneuve's latest film, Dune. Chris and Nathan get on their stillsuits and share their thoughts on Part One of this political epic about young Paul Atreides and his family's time on the desert planet Arrakis. Looking at the technology of the Dune universe, Nathan remarks on its uniquely mechanical and manual nature as we discuss ornithopters, stillsuits and Holtzman shields. Note: we recorded before the announcement that Part 2 has been confirmed!
