This great film podcast, an inspiration for our own, did a really interesting comparison between the Dune movie that was and the Dune movie that could have been. Really cool stuff.

Show Notes
This movie is weird
David Lynch. Return of the Jedi. Different editions of the film. Alan Smithee. Internal monologues.
Dune politics
Before Game of Thrones, this was a new level of deep. Game theory and politics.
Anti-digitalism
Mentats. Eyebrows.
Spice
Like oil? Drugs?
Treatment of Homosexuality
Was Frank Herbert homophobic? Considering the man and the time in which it was written.
Gods and Cults
How the movie and the book had opposite lessons. Making it rain.
Goodbyes
Paul: Stilgar, do we have wormsign?
Stilgar: Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.
