We Recommend: A Movie Podcast
Dune: Part One
Prepare to embark on an odyssey across the dunes of Arrakis as we unravel the complexities of "Dune, Part One." I promise that by the end of our journey, you'll view Denis Villeneuve's epic through a lens that magnifies its political intrigue, family dynamics, and the stark beauty of an unforgiving desert. With each harrowing sandworm encounter and pulse of Hans Zimmer's haunting score, we'll uncover the delicate balance of power, survival, and the prophecy entwining Paul Atreides with the fate of a universe where spice flows and water is treasured.
As we navigate the treacherous landscapes of "Dune," our conversation becomes a tapestry woven with threads of visionary direction, stellar performances, and a reverence for Frank Herbert's seminal work. Feel the heat of Arrakis on your skin as we analyze the visual cues distinguishing Paul from his peers, his prophetic dreams, and the weight of an empire resting on his young shoulders. With Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal at the heart, we dissect his character's evolution and the significant moments that propel the narrative forward amidst the breathtaking special effects and the absence of AI.
Closing our eyes to the blue within blue, we'll consider the implications of Paul's transformation and the future that awaits him in the relentless sands. Our analysis doesn't stop at the edge of the desert; we compare and contrast the Dune universe with other expansive sci-fi realms, highlighting thematic parallels and divergences. Whether you're a devotee of Herbert's novels or a newcomer to the dunes, our passionate exploration is an invitation to join a conversation that's as vast and intricate as the landscape of "Dune" itself. So grab your stillsuit, and let's face the oncoming storm together.

Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast, where every week we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse, I'm Jason, I'm Dakota. I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Because this week we recommend Dune, part One.
Speaker 2:My son is like when I told him to turn on Dune, he goes. Is that D-O-O-N? Yes, dune. That's.
Speaker 1:Dune Dune. So do you guys like the movie? Fuck, it's awesome. I love this movie.
Speaker 4:Probably one of those movies that, like every time I watch it. What movie would you take to Stranded Island? It might be one of them.
Speaker 2:Long enough that you will be dead at the end of it.
Speaker 4:I love this movie so much. It's awesome.
Speaker 2:We talked about reading the book earlier. When I was a teenager, my parents gave me a box of books they had in college and one was Dune, but there was another one called Nirvana which Nirvana was big then, but it was really just literature porn and I just ended up reading that instead.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know. Well, I read it before the movie came out. I was trying to. I wanted to hurry up and read it, so I bought it like a year and a half before it came out. It took me a year to get through a little over half of it and then I was like, screw it, I'm going to Ottawa. It's so hard to know how these names are supposed to be pronounced.
Speaker 4:That's what I have on. So I was like I'm ready to go to the audiobooks.
Speaker 1:I just feel like I'm getting everything wrong. I wasn't though I mean I got a lot of it right. I mean I tried to be tone in, you know.
Speaker 4:You should try and read it, I mean a. Warhammer book. Those names always throw me off. That's why I just do audible with them now, yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure I feel like Warhammer can be inspired by this a lot.
Speaker 2:This is like Shakespeare in sci-fi. I mean yeah essentially Star Wars.
Speaker 1:I mean, everything's a little bit based off this.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, Because it was they took a.
Speaker 1:It's essentially, if there's a white saver anywhere, that comes from this. Yeah, what was?
Speaker 4:their main thing that, because I don't know, if you noticed in the movie they don't have like robots or AI or anything. Because they they don't have guns.
Speaker 1:They got that flying yo-yo, that falls around yeah that the one with the spark one, eight ones from Halo the big ball 343 guilty spark.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's what?
Speaker 4:Yeah, that 343, guilty spark. Well, I was talking about how they don't use AI, because I don't know if they take the same backstory as Warhammer did, because it's strongly based off of Warhammer's strongly based off of Dune, at least. In Warhammer there was an uprising of the AI and it nearly destroyed mankind and then other stuff happened and they banished all AI because it's like no, it will destroy us. So that's why they don't have AI in it. Oh, gotcha and the whole. When they say Imperium and Emperor, that is literally what's in Warhammer, and I've been listening to Warhammer books. That's all I've listened to the last three months. I'm sitting here watching it like just want this directed, to direct a Warhammer movie. Get with.
Speaker 1:Capwell and just make my day. Did any villain who? Have you all seen any of the other stuff? What is his other stuff? Blade Runner 2049. That's this guy, oh, okay. Sicario Arrival Prisoners.
Speaker 4:I haven't seen the last two. I haven't seen Arrival Prisoners, but I saw like.
Speaker 1:You see Sicario.
Speaker 4:I've been meaning to watch that.
Speaker 1:Bro, I have all of them. I've seen the late bar I haven't like four of your movies.
Speaker 4:I didn't get to watch. How about you, jason? Have you seen any of the other stuff?
Speaker 1:No, I've never heard of them. Well, he's always. He's always so. He was a huge fan of Dune and I feel like in his other films you can also kind of get that vibe of Dune in it, especially with Blade Runner. But I mean, I already feel like Blade Runner is a little bit inspired by Dune anyways.
Speaker 4:I think Dune has inspired just a lot of sci-fi stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just kind of everything.
Speaker 4:How long was the audio book?
Speaker 2:Long, I just don't remember Like 30 hours, I mean it was at least between 20 and 30.
Speaker 4:Oh my God, I believe I only listen when I'm driving, but it was cool because it's kind of that would take me a month.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's kind of like a play at the same time, or it reads a lot, but then it goes to like when there's conversations it's back and forth between voice actors, which is really cool.
Speaker 4:Jason, have you seen any scenes from the original Dune movie?
Speaker 2:Yes, I've watched that one, I haven't seen it fully, but like it's yucky.
Speaker 4:I just remember the shield scene. There was someone who took like the scene like where they're training in the newer one, and you know they put their shields on. He edited it to where it was the shields from the original Dune and it was very funny.
Speaker 1:And that shield, it's so wild.
Speaker 4:That's a really cool concept. I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, except it's just like. Like. The shield seemed to be perfect for Like if you're being shot at, but they all do hand in combat.
Speaker 4:So that's the point they're the big army, they know how to fight and having those shields or that's true.
Speaker 1:It would have been cool if they just kind of threw in someone that didn't know how to fight and those just like.
Speaker 4:But it was all armies.
Speaker 1:They also had shields and they're just like easily getting stabbed. Nah, you're getting all warriors here, so let's get into the cast. So it's directed by Denis Villeneuve. Denis Villeneuve, always like end up saying Denis Villeneuve, but it's like, oh, he's French, I gotta chill with that.
Speaker 2:Where do you think I?
Speaker 1:got this up. Right, you're still the king. So yeah, timish the Chalamet. He plays Paul Atreides, rebecca Ferguson plays Lady Jessica, and she's in the new Mission Impossible movies.
Speaker 4:Oh, sitting here, like what else have I seen you in recently?
Speaker 1:You got MJ herself, zendaya playing Cheney. Oscar Isaac that plays Duke Leto Atreides, jason Momoa, duncan, idaho Silly's name in the biz. This fits Jason Momoa though you got Stella Skarsgaard, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
Speaker 4:Always forget him. I know this actor, but I forget it every single time.
Speaker 1:In the podcast. How Did this Get Made? They covered a movie where he's in it and they kept acting like Hanum Steller Skateboard and all their fans went on his wiki and kept changing it to Steller Skateboard. And they had to, like block the account from being edited. So you also have Stephen McKinley Henderson who plays Thurfer Hawat Heywat. I totally had that. I practiced that earlier and just completely dropped it.
Speaker 4:You always practice and you still drop it.
Speaker 1:Josh Brolin, Gurney Halleck, Javier Bardem, Stilgar Sharon Duncan-Bruster, Dr Elite Kynes, Dr Chang is Dr Yu Davidista is Rabin Harkonnen, and that's about it. Well then, you got Charlotte Ramblin, who is greatness, plays Revan Mother Mahayam.
Speaker 1:That's like the big shadow mother, it's the Ben Guzzaret. Yeah, that's seen rules when they come out of that ship. And the music pops and the visuals is beautiful. I actually have that as a note. This music and I'm actually it's slapped so Arrakis. It's supposed to be like one of the sci-fi's, like harshest planets, but it wasn't brought to life through green screens and magic of CGI. Instead, villanue took his cast to the sprawling deserts of Jordan where they toiled for months at a time under the blazing sun, creating a movie and experience they'll never forget. While speaking with Stephen Colbert, the cast explained how harsh the conditions, described as mother nature engulfing you, the shoot that made them become a tight-knit unit forged by grueling days spitting some of the most inhospitable trains in the world. According to Chalamet, shooting days could reach up to 120 degrees. It's hard not to see how their struggles contributed to our authentic, honest performance.
Speaker 4:Did you hear that? No green screen, you know, on set of something. That's why this movie is gorgeous.
Speaker 1:I wish it looked better on Netflix.
Speaker 4:I watched it on Netflix and I was like oh, why did you not watch it on a Max? It's better on Max Because I don't know.
Speaker 4:Why didn't either of us own it? Did you not own it either? Oh, I thought you owned it. I watched it like because I didn't get to see it in theaters, because I didn't know if I was gonna, I don't know if I didn't have time, or whatever. And then I just eventually watched it. One night she girlfriend passed out, turned all the lights out and I just sit in here with my mouth open like, oh my God, this is the best thing I've seen in a long time, all the traitors enter me.
Speaker 4:Well, I think it's just I don't, I don't want that little man boy there.
Speaker 1:Your open mouth over there.
Speaker 4:Don't get excited. I feel like I always sit here and think when I see this movie. I was like this is where movies should have been going the whole time we should have been, because I feel like this is like we've got the budget, we've got better cameras, we can get to places easier. We should be taking advantage of all these sets instead of doing CGI everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for real. I wonder what the budget was of this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they had to get the entire like desert shipped in the Los Angeles. What do you mean? They just went out. Bring me that desert Right next to Arizona.
Speaker 4:I love this movie so much I also love I wonder how in the books they describe the ships, cause I'm like it looks like dragonflies, cause they nailed it.
Speaker 2:The Ornacopters Coolest fucking ships.
Speaker 4:I love it, man. You know, if you could make a ship do that, it would make sense for it to work. Cause bugs get around like that, no problem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to compare like how good this movie looks versus how much horrible CGI movie looks. So this movie, $165 million US dollars budget, looks great, right? Yes, flash between $200 million and or $220 million dollars and that thing looks like it's straight up doodoo diapers.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there was diapers in it. You remember the baby scene? Yeah, I'm sure have you seen it.
Speaker 2:No, oh I just imagine flash, we're at a diaper. That'd be great.
Speaker 4:I just imagine that opening scene, like cause we got there late, only just a few minutes, and my girlfriend went into the concession stand to get something, cause I was like I need to watch this and I'm sitting here and she come back and it was the opening scene with the hospital, the baby scene had happened. She missed that.
Speaker 1:Like I said, this is, this is already not going to be good, it's wild, it's like it is, it is all look terrible. Okay, just like this, the flash or Batman and Quantamania. Third one I don't know. I guess Quantamania had more fun.
Speaker 4:Okay, cause Paul Rudd is more fun to watch, better cast, I would say in a my dog does have a little old butt.
Speaker 1:Boy had little cheeks on that man.
Speaker 4:It's hilarious, I know. Whenever I watch it, finally with the girlfriend, she's like oh baby, it's you.
Speaker 1:So, according to an interview with IndieWire, veteran actor stellar skateboard spent almost 30% of his time working on the movie in the makeup chair. About eight hours total a day. I would love to see you behind scenes.
Speaker 4:Footage of just I. Like watching when actors sit there like the time lapses because, like they did with Batista and stuff.
Speaker 1:Skarsgard pervests to do not, to not do too much acting himself, because most of his intimidating president presidents presence comes from the power of his physicality in the suit he was fitted in as Baron Vladimir or Conan.
Speaker 4:These names are great.
Speaker 1:Eight hours a day just sitting in a chair.
Speaker 4:What would you always sit here and wonder when I see like time lapses especially like I didn't know this and Breaking Bad? Um, brian Cranston, he I don't know if it was eventually he stopped wanting to shave his head, but they put a bald cap and his little goatee was fake. I thought that was all real.
Speaker 1:Cranston, that would suck to have to just look like that for like eight years of your life Like three season.
Speaker 4:he wouldn't do nothing else in five seasons.
Speaker 1:He wasn't bald in the beginning.
Speaker 4:He didn't shave his head until like the second third season until they started going to cancer treatments.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was his first season Shut up. So costume designers Jacqueline West and Bob Morgan created more than 1000 costumes for the movie, taking inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology and the dramatic tragedy that defines the source material. The still suits, one of the most famous garments from the books and designed to preserve the wearer's moisture, had to be created based on a live cast of the actors. This worked out well. Considering the actors movements technically activated, the suit required them to be more form fitting as possible.
Speaker 4:Man, when I hear about like the designers who do something because I loved the suits in this so much and it's so funny, hey, they take the Roman mythology and stuff, because there's literally in Warhammer is one group of them, are basically centred around that like Roman stuff, one of the groups of them. But like, when I hear like when I really like the set design or like the costume design, it makes me want to like do what I guess normal people like. I want to see where these other people have gone to work because I want to see if they've got other cool suits and other movies.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I mean, probably I should wear this suit, if nothing else would keep the sand out of my crotch, crotch, yeah, other places.
Speaker 4:And nobody seems to really wear goggles.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Do you guys?
Speaker 1:just like, not like get blinded the Freeman, they're used to it, I guess.
Speaker 2:Freeman, I know.
Speaker 1:I'm going to do that a lot.
Speaker 4:One thing I did notice. I don't know if you saw anything on it. It was the scene where, like the palm trees, yeah, the guy who was watering it, he was like you shouldn't be out here, you know, they're not worried about heat stroke and stuff. And if you look at the guy who's covered up watering him, he's sweating bullets. But Paul isn't. He's just like you know. He's just like you know. He's just like you know. He's Maybe because I in this world I assume they also Ultra-genetic, some to have perfect children. So I can see like more suited for is he wearing something? Because he's wearing all black. He's not breaking a sweat. And if they were on set that day and he's not sweating, that boy broken, he a vampire.
Speaker 1:I think he's supposed to just have just walked out there, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 4:I don't know if you know when it gets hot here at the second you walk out, you immediately will start getting. So I don't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I must feel like I don't sweat.
Speaker 1:I barely sweat.
Speaker 2:That's because I guess I swear, just think it about it yes, I know I'll.
Speaker 1:I sweat if I like, start working and I guess this should be a good thing.
Speaker 4:Jason's wearing shorts with a short sleeve. I'm wearing a short sleeve. I Almost wore shorts and Jesse's over here in a hoodie he's bundled.
Speaker 1:I saw a hoodie but there's no shirt on underneath. You boys straight naked under this hoodie. Who you so? A huge fan of the original books, hans Zimmer readily agreed to compose the music for the movie, though the pandemic made it even a bigger challenge according to variety. Forced out of his comfort zone, he ended up inventing new instruments and also developed his own language for the choral arrangements, making the score sound like it incorporated music from another world.
Speaker 4:It was very good because I love the music in this.
Speaker 1:I mean like there's times, especially watching at IMAX, where just I got chills. I mean I was just like, oh yeah music.
Speaker 4:My moisture screen because I watched it again Last night and I had my little like me know, my little sound system I have and just when those and I could feel it vibrating it, oh my goodness, keep going.
Speaker 2:Do you think, whatever they're drinking the water, their recycled water like they can taste your own farts?
Speaker 4:They can taste something, because you saw where she like they're in that tent and she takes a sip and she's gives that face and he's like it's sweat and recycled tears sweat and tears, yeah, but when he's when he says tears, they stare. We cried last night.
Speaker 1:I think my favorite thing is whenever the there, we're on the Harkonnen planet, harkonnen planet, and they're getting ready to like send the troops out. And you just got that one guys on like a platform.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so through singing tribal and ceremonious and I missed that the first time I was like, oh, they're putting red paint on them weird. And then I saw scoop and I was like, oh his blood. Then I looked up oh my god, just a bunch of bodies hanging upside down.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, it's essentially just a. I mean, I guess, like the theme of the book is, the whole point of the dune is we have to change our ways. No war, the land is everybody's land. Let's uh, even though that's like all sci-fi and futuristic, it's still just oh, I got bigger stick. This tribe has a stick. No, this tribe has bigger stick. Let's just kill each other. What it's like the whole point is like Paul's our savior. He's gonna save us from this.
Speaker 4:He's gonna be the leader of the Universe. I hope well, because when you lead like with that kind of big Expectation, I kind of hope we see more of that. No offense to like Chalamet like he did great in this it's just I don't know if it's just cuz he kind of he just looks perpetually young. I just don't see him as like this intimidating leader later on he kind of looks like Frodo Baggins sometimes.
Speaker 1:That is kind of the whole point of the book, the first half of the book which this covers pretty much like everything up to the freemen. Well, cuz I mean the end of this movie, he loses his innocence by killing someone. That's the whole point of the ending of that.
Speaker 4:One of the scenes later on, but that'll be near the end, okay, Well, I think it's time to get into it.
Speaker 1:I didn't put too many notes because I don't want this to be a three hour.
Speaker 4:I got a go real quick cuz I'd have to break it in two points, like the scene that they're putting the blood on them. Just want to say it's can't help, it's war hammer. Just think of dude.
Speaker 1:There's, by the way, clean version.
Speaker 4:We know nothing about us, I know is just the way to the look at it is. If you just like take the dune world but throw in gothic to it, and you have, and you have. You have war hammer because their ships look like gothic cathedrals flying around Hell yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, as long as there's people in giant suits, is there that? Yes, then I'm not interested. There's also space hell. I'm just kidding. That's awesome. Yeah, cuz that inspired.
Speaker 4:Event horizon yeah right, everyone says that.
Speaker 1:that is like if they said we're gonna make this can in the warhammer world, everyone's like, okay, perfectly makes sense because we know Paul W S Anderson is definitely a video game Lover, right, I mean, since he does every single video game adaption. What movie monster hunter resident evils?
Speaker 4:He did something else and I watched a movie with a girlfriend and his name came up after we watched it. Oh, that explain. Oh, I think he did alien versus predator.
Speaker 1:Did he?
Speaker 4:someone. I saw the name and I was like I think that's guy who directed their resume movies like that explains a lot.
Speaker 2:Those movies are so video gamey. It's kind of detriment.
Speaker 4:I like they're not like I went back and watched a VP and I was like, not as good as I remember it kid, but I still, I still fun, and still fun. I would much rather watch it it is that makes so much? See see. It's a.
Speaker 1:I mean, I like the resident evil movies, but not because they're good exactly the same thing for that.
Speaker 2:I can watch requiem. No.
Speaker 4:You. It's dark, but I still think I need to rewatch that are you talking about resident evil or alien versus?
Speaker 2:predator. What are we all talking?
Speaker 1:about. I think we're talking about the director, you know.
Speaker 2:You said I've seen the first resident evil.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, you haven't seen the others. No second one's not bad, and then after that it gets way bonkers.
Speaker 1:No, the third one's great third one's my favorite. Anyways, we're talking about doing a good movie by a good director. Hey, but actually one of my favorite directors. If y'all need to watch a rival, yeah, no, I've never seen it. I know the twist and everything, it just doesn't matter, it's still just a great movie.
Speaker 4:I don't know like it was. It could be like one of those like where I had heard how gone girl was and I never watched it because I knew the twist or like Parts of it. And then when I fully watched it I was like, oh, this is just a really good movie, so maybe I should just give it a chance.
Speaker 1:Okay, so the film starts. We get a message. Dreams are messages and I'm sure there's no dreams in this movie. We start with the O from Channy. She talks about a rackets and spice. At night they mine the spice. They are cruel to the native. We learned that there's the people that mine the spice, so they're cruel in the native people. They're called the Harkonnen. They control the spice production and now control everything. We see the Harkonnen being attacked by the Freeman Freeman. We learn, due to Imperial decree, that they are ordered to leave their order to left. We are with Paula tradies who is having a vision of Chaney. It's year 10191 on Planet Call it in. Homeworld of House of tradies, which Call it in is kind of like it's all Ireland.
Speaker 2:Yes, like it's, ireland is good. The edges of Ireland, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1:The most technologically advanced and powerful people are like the Scots, we just live on this mountain next to an ocean.
Speaker 4:Is this the world of like? Because, since I don't know how much you remember I was like is this how it works? Because again I'm gonna bring it up again in Warhammer, the whole series is like the like. The whole humanity race is basically just War and fighting and their whole society is built around that. It felt like this is how they are in Dune Like. Is the whole like just society built around war because it's a big family and they have power, or is it just kind of like? This is just like the military side of the entire universe runs on spice.
Speaker 1:Okay, I brought how you can get it, essentially so that's why the Harkonnen are so Powerful and rich.
Speaker 2:I guess they've been running Iraqis.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's nice and so I guess not, because I think the point of a house of Atreides there are. They, like he, duke Lido is gaining so much respect through all the great houses because how good of a leader he is and he's awesome how you know chill he is, and. Yeah, so he's gaining so much popularity and I think it's been due to peace and stuff like that, because his whole thing is he Wants to go there and like we're all gonna have peace.
Speaker 4:You do they really like? That was one of my little complaints is like I like the family but I feel like we didn't get enough to see more of like what they. I wanted a little bit more on the family and how like like that world of them works, because he was like we're military families. You're kind of just left to assume. I wish we did have a little bit more time to Understand, because it's like you just know that they're good, but I would have liked to seen more of it. I know we just couldn't. I wish we did.
Speaker 1:This was pretty much it from the book.
Speaker 2:The Duke, like he's just this noble as fuck Guy, like great leader and everything, so he kind of let me look at my father.
Speaker 4:I'm here, that my girlfriend kept giving me crap for and I think we talked about this before. I Just thought about it because the scene where he's naked and I was like Oscar Isaac, hot or not? Yeah, okay, she says no, oscar Isaac. Yeah, she says he's like he's okay, he's just not know out. Because I was like well, in drive he is younger here, because what's what we were watching him in, and she said that last time and I was like in this one he's got just amazing beard, he's just hair cutting driver.
Speaker 1:That's the only thing he has.
Speaker 4:No he's short. But, she still says like yeah, we had this sketch poor. I just he's okay, but he's not like attractive.
Speaker 1:I like well make her rewatch.
Speaker 2:a force awakens, it's like Maybe she's not trying to hurt your feelings.
Speaker 4:I'm the one who said it as much as I thirst over Cavill, she can thirst over Oscar Isaac, so we can do it together. Yes a couple that thirst together, stays together.
Speaker 1:So we're now with Paul and Lady Jessica, that's Paul's mother. They are talking about him getting ready for a ceremony. Then Jessica wants Paul to use the voice to make her give him give her water. At first he doesn't want to do it because he's very resistant to everything essentially. And then you get the Awesome which it essentially made her move the glass without even thinking. But he only did it like halfway and she's like you, almost did it.
Speaker 4:I love that scene, just the. It's so like easy. You know that they just edit it, but it's so good and.
Speaker 1:I really like shelling me in that moment. It's been a thundering.
Speaker 4:Yeah, like his moment, like when he's getting ready to use it. You can see him like flexing, like he's trying to get his vocals ready. It's like that's very good because it because later in the movie you know she mentions your pitch wasn't right it's like he's really good at like remembering that he needs to. I don't just flexing his neck, cuz he's so skinny, like yeah.
Speaker 1:So the lady Jessica? She knows about old Paul's dreams that he's been having. He tells her he isn't having him though. So he's like, no, I haven't had any in a while. Only every second of the day we see Paul learning about Arrakis. We learn about the high temperature and treacherous weather events. The Fremen have adopted, have adapted. They live on the outskirts of Arrakis and share the desert with the sandworms. Paul is having a vision now of the Fremen. We learn that, due to the spice, the Fremen all have blue eyes, which rules. They are dangerous and unreliable, though Fremen attacks make spice harvest harvesting very difficult. To the Fremen spices. Sacred is a sacred hallucinogen, hallucinogen that preserves life and enormous health benefits.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they're just constantly tripping balls yeah is that why everyone in the universe wants?
Speaker 4:it is because of the health benefits, because I never know.
Speaker 2:It's it makes a interstellar travel.
Speaker 1:Did I just skip over that?
Speaker 4:I think that's always was like what do they you? I missed it. Was it that they mentioned in the movie? This is that what they use it for?
Speaker 1:opening voiceover. Oh, it's like the very yeah. That's the problem with opening voiceovers.
Speaker 4:It's like I miss it, cuz I was like what do they use this stuff for, especially balls? I mean, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:but the visuals are so good that it's like, oh man, you just kind of forget to listen a little bit. And then, whenever she says that part of Intergalactic space travel, it's just like a gorgeous shot of a spaceship and it's like so the space is that they use because I put notice down.
Speaker 4:So it's funny how these ships look like the worms.
Speaker 2:Everything looks fucking nuts.
Speaker 1:When you have a sci-fi maybe go nuts with your stuff like shaped and holy Cuz I all the the little outs, I guess wherever they go through to go to shoot through space. You know the giant rings out there. I'm like another sexual organ.
Speaker 2:Everything looks like butts and boo.
Speaker 1:So for the Imperium, spice is used by the navigators of spacing guilt, the space guild, to find safe paths between the stars. Without the spice, interstellar travel is impossible, making spice the most valuable source in the universe. We see Paul watching a giant ship landing. It's just like some of the most gorgeous, freaking crap. A group of people walk out in silly spacesuits next to Paul is silly silly. Do you know, it tradies the father Gurney Halleck, who's like there. He's essentially a bard slash Um lieutenant kind of who which one journey.
Speaker 1:So in the book he sings a lot more, more poetry. As you kind of see, in this they kind of cut out a little bit.
Speaker 4:Which one was he? Was he the one who like?
Speaker 1:like how much rolling.
Speaker 4:Oh okay. Oh, that's right. I was thinking of the other guy who, like, how much is this gonna cost? His eyes rolls back in his head, he's a good little boy.
Speaker 1:That's how, how you want, how, what God dang it I wanted to say that name for me, fuck. Um yeah, so Duke Lido tells Gurney to smile and pretend he's excited to see the people from the ship. Just has like a snarky comment hey, what, how it gives lead Lido the approximate amount it cost him just to visit for this formality, does this weird eye thing, which is dope. But so essentially they just they spend I don't know billions of dollars just to fly down to be like, hey, you want a rack, is yeah?
Speaker 4:okay, you know the aerial decree yeah, I still just every time I think about a scene for this movie. I don't think there's a scene in it where I'm like this is just not that good a scene, everything in it, set design, just.
Speaker 1:So good. I really only have one one issue this movie, and we'll get there. They are on the, the people that landed there. There, on the behalf of the emperor, they're giving a house of, they're giving House of Atreides control of Arrakis and to serve as its steward. Duke Lido Accepts the job to bring peace to Arrakis. They seal the documents. We also see the sister of the bin Jezerits and the fate of Duke Lido is sealed. That's a good little.
Speaker 2:He's got the rings to the seal with the wax.
Speaker 4:Because, like he was wearing gloves the whole time and he takes his clothes, he sells it. Rings like that ain't working for you, man. You know how big that ring is.
Speaker 1:You can't wear go gloves comfortably with that so something in the movie that they kind of do, but I feel like the book is just when this happens. The Duke knows he's dead, he knows he's being set up. Oh, he completely in the book. He's like oh great, we have to do this because you can't say no though.
Speaker 4:Well, he does. He know he's good set it for failure. Does he know he's like this is gonna be a hard thing? He's trying to like weaken me a little bit.
Speaker 1:No, they know that it's like okay this is essentially. This is essentially. We're just being shot out here to die, essentially.
Speaker 4:Say no, you get swarmed. Yeah pretty much.
Speaker 1:They're gonna come get you either way and they'll just have it like a better reason to be, like the reason we're departing with a house of Atreides is because of this. Now he's all y'all's enemies, like all the great houses, so I'm either way he set up to fail here. That's why you some of the lines he says a little later kind of will make more sense, like I thought we had more time.
Speaker 4:When he's talking to Lady Jessica and he's like I thought he just knew it's like it's coming like he saw more like after the one thing at 8 by the worm and he's like this is up to fail.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he, just he's. He's, I guess in more in the movie. Now they're showing that he's a little more hopeful. I guess he's like, oh, there's a chance, we have the equipment and stuff when we get there. So we see a ship flying in. We meet Duncan. Idaho is very friendly to Paul. Duncan, my best friend, my boy, boy boy. Paul looks up to him. Idaho is going to Iraq, us as an advanced team. Paul wants to go with him. Idaho says he can't. Paul admits to him that he has been having dreams about Iraq, us in the Freemann. He says that he sees Idaho with the free fremen Look at like working with him. And then he says he saw him laying dead, falling in battle. See, I typed in Freeman so much, and then halfway through this I'll type in fremen, which will make it easier for me to remember. Yeah, so this is another Vision of his, you know like will his say in the real his visions come true.
Speaker 1:Are they just like?
Speaker 2:yes, right, because they're not blocking. Why is he supposed to just?
Speaker 1:interpret it and like pick which part is gonna be accurate.
Speaker 2:He says that he can feel what's really gonna happen, and so he's like and he knows what is true about his dreams Because he has a feeling. But the some of the other parts have to be kind of super clear for him.
Speaker 4:I guess he tries to remember him, maybe because he's like oh, this one's completely clear.
Speaker 1:I could see that well, so the part because they're all a little wrong whenever from his perspective, and I think the part of this movie is him going through and be like trying just learning how to use his abilities, essentially as the Whatever they call him.
Speaker 2:But yeah, because in this you know because in this, yeah, matrix also inspired.
Speaker 1:But so in this vision he sees that Idaho dies, but Like he's saying, like I should have been there with you, I should have been there to help you, and it's like you were actually.
Speaker 4:Mm-hmm, it's like well in the room. I think he meant if I was there.
Speaker 1:Well, no, cuz he thinks it might happen before, because that's why he wants to go with them cuz he's supposed to like scout out and be the, I guess, like the diplomat between. Well, he's just making sure that there's no Going there, to make sure there's nobody there waiting to kill them all forward reconnaissance.
Speaker 1:Which he's already been there talking to the Freeman just to establish a relationship so that they can work together. Um and then. So, after he tells him about the dream, duncan Idaho says dreams make good stories, but everything important happens when we're awake, because that's when we make things happen. Look at, look, you put on a little muscle. I did no. He says he'll see him in a, on a rack us two weeks, right? Yep, something like that. So Duke Lido is in the cemetery. Paul comes to ask if he can go with Duncan Idaho. Duke Lido refuses. He says he is too important to go, since he will eventually take command of the house of Atreides. Lido says he will need him because Duke will have to deal with great political danger. We learn the emperor is hoping for war between Atreides and the Harkonnen to weaken both houses. Duke Lido wants to join with the Fremen so that they can share the desert power.
Speaker 4:Desert power here we was, he said. On this planet, we were ruled through air and water power.
Speaker 1:Yeah, desert power.
Speaker 4:Wait, now we can that was one thing I thought Is really cool because, like, when you get movies like that, when like that's someone who's native to something it's usually a jungle or the water you never really get a lot of people who are like native to the desert, and it's cool to see that Interpretation of like how they would survive and how they do it, because I feel it I don't, I can't think of another movie where it's like, until the new avatar comes out, how do you see someone who Natively because I mean, the desert is a bear in place?
Speaker 4:mad Max, yeah, but they're surviving off of old stuff, not something like they learn to live with the world versus mad Max is like we have People from Star Wars Tuscany.
Speaker 2:Those are real.
Speaker 1:I want to see people, so we learned that Duke Lido wants Paul to sit in on his council meeting that they're about to have. Paul thinks he is not the future of a house of tradies. Duke admits that when his father asked him to become leader, he didn't want it either. He wanted to be a pilot. He says a great man doesn't seek to lead. He is called to it and he answers. And if your answer is no, you will still be all that. I needed you to be my son.
Speaker 4:I love that scene. It's so good. This is just their delivery. Great actors in this great scene, just everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's almost like if you just get really good actors and a good script, you know making a movie over five years and just constantly recutting it Doing so five different rector's hop on everything.
Speaker 1:Duke says he found his way to it and maybe Paul will too. We were with Paul training. Gurney comes in. It's like he's talking about he shouldn't have his back to the door and Paul's like I could hear your footsteps, old man, gurney. Gurney came to train with him. Paul doesn't want to train, but Gurney forces him. We see their shields in action. We get to like they're just vibrating shields. That vibrates blue when it's okay and then when something's about to enter you.
Speaker 4:I don't know, their concept of that shield stuff, just because it like in that world it doesn't seem that good because you're using blades. But if you brought that here to like our time, you would Like you could take what 10 people with that shield and you could do some damage because, like, everyone's gonna be shooting at you and nothing's gonna work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you'll have to use plans. Yeah, that's the point of it.
Speaker 4:I like it's like they made like cousin, some others like sci-fi stuff, like certain things like Star Wars. It's like we got our lightsabers blocking stuff. It's like, yeah, but could you block a bullet? I feel like they gave you a valid reason of like.
Speaker 1:You can block five billion lasers until the plot says no, no, you can't.
Speaker 4:I mean, you got that, something that was inspired by dude versus something that is doing and that writer. How many books are there in the dude series? Yeah, there's like an eight or nine.
Speaker 1:I think it's four or five, I think it's not.
Speaker 2:I mean well, like his, his son, like. Continued the series.
Speaker 1:Oh did he? I didn't look up if they're. I didn't look at, wonder if they were just good if his son took over it, that's what I know, you took this I hear.
Speaker 1:I know it's supposed to have like just taken a lot of the manuscripts from stuff that weren't released or something like that. I don't know something like that. So Paul doesn't want to train with Gurney, but Gurney forces them. We see their shields in action. We see that if you swing fast the shield works and if you go slow you can penetrate it. He'll heal. Gurney gets his first hit. Paul says he's not in the mood. Grini says death does not wait on your mood, bro.
Speaker 4:I thought it was good. He's right, you can't wait, it's always gonna be there.
Speaker 1:It's simply just trying to be like stop being a spoiled brat, let's go. We're fighting. Paul gets the upper hand, but we see that he would have died with Gurney if it was real. I see you found your mood.
Speaker 4:Gurney.
Speaker 1:Gurney is one of the best characters in the book, like there's a lot more with him. In the first part of the book, paul ask if Arrakis will be that bad. We learned for 80 years Harkonnen has owned Arrakis. He says they are brutal and Paul has to be ready.
Speaker 4:For the Harkonnen. It's not the. Is he? Does he say like?
Speaker 1:for the Fremen too. They have this. They have this idea that the Fremen are completely under Harkonnen control and will do whatever.
Speaker 2:Well, that and like when you're that powerful, everyone's trying to kill you all that's hot.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he's a Duke's son, apparently.
Speaker 1:You know their Family is well known and we'll like yeah but it's also I think it's just kind of like this Propaganda against the Fremen, because there's supposed to be savages and demons in battle, but really they're just like we just trying to get water on the desert and you guys are screwing everything.
Speaker 4:So it's like my day. We just it's a bit to make sure Feel like these people are bad people. We're us taking their resources. They don't need it because they're they're bad people.
Speaker 1:I mean it's like avatar essentially, you know. John tree. So now we are on Getty Prime home world of house Harkonnen. It's dark and it looks very like military base. Like you just imagine. If the Nazis won, this is what the world will.
Speaker 4:That's what I like seems very like a lot of places. Their culture is wars, military. It's different when you see like a whole planet based off of it and that's how they live and survive. I like that kind of concept.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we meet Lord Baron and we see Robin with Rabanne, which is David Tista. Rabanne tells them all the ships have left Arrakis and but he's very pissed they. He doesn't understand why Emperor gave Arrakis to a tradies. The Baron explains that because the house of a tradies is rising in popularity, the Emperor is becoming jealous and wants them eliminated. And in space we see a ship flying into Caledon. Lady Jessica's dress as a been Jesuit, jessica, and it's the best shot of the movie for me, oh, when she shows up to like. Well, it's when all the been Jesuits start walking out of the ship. And it's just, it's Dark outside. You have the light shining from the ship, that's when.
Speaker 1:I'm acts dude. When it happened I was literally just like gripping the seat and like people are just walking out of a ship and I'm over here like why not?
Speaker 4:I was.
Speaker 1:It's just when the music hits. Is this loud bass? Have you ever looked up his?
Speaker 4:Like what he's worked on. I think I did one time because he did a lot of the music for this Snyder like DC films, right, well, I mean he did wonder woman he's.
Speaker 1:He does all the Christopher Nolan stuff. Oh yeah, that's right, that's right up until ten. It. It's just funny because before that it was a bunch of like rom-coms and I mean he's done so much like I mean he's done actions films and stuff like so few war films but he's done like most of Nancy Meyers movies. She did the holiday.
Speaker 4:I don't like rom-coms one, Harry mits.
Speaker 1:Oh no, that's not ever. She does like the best rom-coms though those movies roles, I don't care.
Speaker 4:It was like when Harry met Sally. I do like that one.
Speaker 1:I was thinking about that today. I don't know if he did the music for that he might have his music. Now is all he's got layers to him. It sounds nothing like that. So we see Paul asleep dreaming of chain chainie. Lady Jessica wakes him up and tells him to go with her. She tells him the Reverend mother, gaius Helen Mohan, is there. She was Lady Jessica's teacher as the binge at the Ben Jezret school and she is the truth seer to the Emperor. She wants to meet Paul and talk about his dreams.
Speaker 2:I'm supposed to put his hand in a silly box, yeah.
Speaker 1:I would hold this. So we meet Dr U. He's there to take his vitals. He touches his temples.
Speaker 2:He's like the Vulcan mind-melt.
Speaker 1:They have this ability that they can read by it's only people, yeah.
Speaker 1:He whispers in Mandarin to Paul. He says that the Ben Jezret serve the greater good but that he should be careful because they serve their own design. Then Lady Jessica signs. Tell no one of this with her hands. Lady Jessica tells Paul to remember his training before he goes in. Then they go in to meet Gaius. She is using the voice to ask him who he is. She says he has defiance in his eyes. She uses the voice to bring him to his knees in front of her. It's rad. Her voice is so much more powerful than all the other voices that you hear like when you see movies where they tell people that Do stuff.
Speaker 4:Usually you get like that struggle, like I can't, I can't stop. But this one, it just happened so suddenly even he's like You're, like whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1:He just Whips it out, lays it on the table, can't?
Speaker 4:stop it. It's just so sudden. It's like that's how it would be if you're being forced to do something. Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know it reminds me of any time it sifted in Star Wars. We're like for someone, like to the well, it's a force pool versus like Um well, I mean, it's essentially what she can do, like get over here and it's like.
Speaker 4:She's telling you in your body.
Speaker 1:Okay, I just like that your mind turns off and like next thing you know You're like you're standing over there to immediately run. But this super upsets Paul, like how dare you use the voice on me in my own home?
Speaker 4:Well, he also was like how dare you also insult my mother in her home?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. She tells him to put his hand in the box and Holds a gom jabar, a poison needle. It's instant death. He holds it to his neck. The test is if he removes his hand from the box, he dies. She says that pain is in the box. Later, jessica knows this has to be done. She like walks out, so I in the box starts and he's just going through all this pain. I like to be. Just think it'd be funny. He's like oh, did it start yet? Oh, she didn't turn it on.
Speaker 4:Oh, oh god, it hurts.
Speaker 1:Just thought it'd be funny.
Speaker 4:What's in the box?
Speaker 1:what's in the box B's? You got you got Paul like screaming in the box and right behind the binges. Or you just have Brad Pitt from the ending of seven, just like, oh, just doing that thing where he puts his gun up and he's like, so the box starts and we see Paul going through great pain, even, let it. Lady Jessica is outside becoming like scared and almost like Going through the pain herself.
Speaker 4:Dude they have like a seems like they're able to kind of Feel or at least she just knows what it's like.
Speaker 2:She's like this is like the most painful shit ever.
Speaker 4:I thought it was like because there seems like moments like that they're connected mentally.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely it definitely for a second seemed like she was feeling the pain as well, but I can't tell if that's just like you love your son.
Speaker 4:You know she was like grabbing her stomach, like they tend to do, and she's like the pain period.
Speaker 1:I'm kidding, that was just a hilarious joke. I'm me. But why she's scared? She's saying I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face. My fear and I were permitted to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Speaker 4:Bunch of really.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then Paul looks like he's gonna break. But the music really hits and he starts to focus, seeing like hell, yeah, this soundtrack vibes, and then he's able to overpower the box. Then guy stops the test. She almost looks worried. She definitely looked like dang it. I was kind of hoping he died.
Speaker 4:I think, it's the implication of who he could be right.
Speaker 2:He could be like the savior of the universe.
Speaker 4:They don't want them to be the one why everyone seems like, well, we don't want them to be, because I guess I guess they know like, if it happens, a bunch of wars about that.
Speaker 2:They kind of expected it to be a woman, though, right.
Speaker 1:They don't trust, they don't like that. He's a man.
Speaker 4:Do you know more about that? Exactly because I I they could explain it in part two more, I want to know more about the, their culture. The Ben Jezeir is in like. Yeah there's specific reason they want women to do it more Versus a man or anything.
Speaker 1:The conversation between Lady Jessica and Guys is definitely a little bit longer than in the movie. They do explain it. I can't remember off the top of my head, but it's in the movie. Yeah, they're essentially just think of it like kind of like nuns, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Because women are just can control their emotions more, I guess, and men destroy everything.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they lead with their.
Speaker 1:Essentially, I think is what it is. It's like they get. They know that, like it's I don't know I guess you see this in a lot of media now where it's like the women, they like the concubines that go up to People and whisper in their ear and Stuff like that, like the snake in your type of thing, and then you even have a silver tongue. What's the older woman from Game of Thrones? They're like the green. She's the one that poisons Joffrey spoiler spoiler, spoilers.
Speaker 4:Yeah, what was that type Tyra?
Speaker 1:I can't remember, dude, it's been so long since they were in the story. In my life, when Paul removes his hand, he sees that there's nothing wrong with his hand. We learned that if Paul wasn't able to control his impulses, they would have killed him because he is too powerful and they don't need an animal Right to have this type of power, because before she puts it, his hand in there, he's like a wolf would gnaw off his paw to save his. What will you do? Yeah, what will you do? They just don't want him to be like a wild animal. He asked because Because he's too powerful? He asked because he is the Duke's son, but she tells him it's because he is Lady Jessica's son. He had more than one bloodline boy.
Speaker 2:She comes in.
Speaker 1:Paul tells her of his dream. He explains that he sees a Channy in his dreams. She says her goodbye and that she hopes he lives. Hell yeah. Then Jessica asked if she had to be so harsh with him.
Speaker 2:Lady Jessica, I said I hope he lives yeah.
Speaker 1:I didn't stab him, even though he did good.
Speaker 4:To be fair, nothing in the box.
Speaker 1:I didn't do anything to chill Lady Jessica.
Speaker 4:I mean, does it sound weird when you say go to the, go in the room with the old lady and shove your hand in her box?
Speaker 1:Paul comes out like that was weird man. Thanks mom, it's like I put my hands somewhere. Different man though.
Speaker 4:They also like I don't know if you have it. I mentioned like when she's, like they've been, because I mentioned to Jessica's, like you know, we've been carefully crossing lines. Yeah, that's what it's all right here.
Speaker 1:So Lady Jessica trained Paul against the, against the Ben Jezz or its orders. She was only supposed to bear daughters. She had a son because she thought she could produce the quiz that had a rack. Gaius is not helpful. That hopeful that Paul is the one they laid his path on Arrakis, as long as he doesn't squander it. Then Jessica cries um, there's something I wanted to say about this.
Speaker 1:In the movie or the book they kind of go into why she ended up having a boy. It's because Duke Lito really wanted a boy. She also wanted to have a boy, not just a daughter. And yeah, send it off. The pressure of like Duke Lito and wanting to please him and have a happy family kind of made her have the boy, I believe. I believe I'm sorry if you read the book and you love it and I got that wrong.
Speaker 2:It's been a while well, you think about this the kind of thing that does as, just for a people, they're kind of controlling everything from the shadows, because they mentioned later that the emperor himself doesn't have sons. Yeah, because they're in control of, like everything going on with him too.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they yeah, I mean essentially there's no people to the throne. Yeah, there's no like if you have a son, that's the claim to the throne.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's gonna be a big part of part two where it's like he needs someone that can become the emperor. Later on, we'll see you'll see which is gonna end up being Orange pew. No, that's never mind.
Speaker 4:Do you know if we'll see the emperor in part two? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's supposed to be the second half of the book, so we'll see everybody in the midst. And as Jessica starts walking back to their home or whatever, in the midst we see Paul slowly forming and it's such a rat shot. We see that he heard everything he asked. If it's true, he says the Ben Jezeir it steer the Emperor from the shadow. The Ben Jezeir it's have been crossing bloodlines to create someone powerful enough to bridge space and time, past and future, and one that can give a better future. It's definitely Probably Paul.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a magic boy.
Speaker 1:I'm the magicalist of magic boys. So, yeah, that's essentially. They just, I mean they're just trying to bridge space and time. I guess they're gonna start like try to time traveling and just you know, doing whatever they want. They're essentially gonna have all control over the world. Yeah, fuck, yeah man, we see a shot of a spaceship raising out of the water.
Speaker 4:It's so cool the way they can show, like this is what you mentioned with the missing he like slowly forms up his way of like bringing things from, like the shadows and just the way, like it comes to the forefront, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:That's something didn't. Any villain is really good. I mean you saw it in 2049, ryan Gosling kind of walking out of some mist, a rival with the ships, just kind of coming from the sky. It's always so good, it's just his ability to reveal and there's the final shot of a movie he did called enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal. It's like the final shot, it's just. I mean it's kind of all nonsense but I love it. It's just like the reveal of it. It was so jarring and like why did that terrify?
Speaker 2:It's like the Starship Enterprise coming out of the water.
Speaker 4:Yeah, imagine if he did a Star Wars movie.
Speaker 1:Did anyone know? Yeah, dude, just give him to, let him do whatever he wants. I'll watch it with. Oh yeah, face holes, oh.
Speaker 1:So, Paul is watching from a distance the spaceship rise and fly off. We see a house, a trade he's packing up. We see all the ships landing on Arrakis. Now Paul is in the darkness of the ship and then the door opens with the blistering Sun, gurney says. My lungs taste the air of time blown past, falling sand and and then some bagpipe start to really, hell yeah, this is what I was like.
Speaker 2:Yes, the Scottish.
Speaker 4:Like oh no, come out, bagpipes instantly killed.
Speaker 1:I just like that guy. The guy's like hell yeah, I'm the only one on this planet that can play these back.
Speaker 4:She brought up a point. Do we know? Is it just their culture? Because, like, when the women come out, they're all wearing the shawls and covering their faces, versus the man who just out there Getting sand blasted to the face. Gotta be tough.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I guess it's just them protecting their faces. I don't know it's, I'm sure it's. They don't moisturize, do they? I actually don't remember what they say that they were wearing at this point, what the women wear Well it's just like the wear that Michael Sarah lotion yeah.
Speaker 1:So they all start walking out on Arrakis for the first time Paul sees hi, hollet, how, what, dang it and runs and hugs them. I love this, I love that Paul. It's loves everybody. He's just like a good little 15 year old, because he's supposed to only be 15. Yeah, he's, he's under age child.
Speaker 4:Oh, I've never liked that and stories when, like this is the next person, because, like, as you get older, you're like, you're 15 year old, we'll do anything. Yeah, in my head he's like above. He's like at least early 20s, I mean, if not 21.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think he's like 15 or 16. I'm not going with that. I'm not going with that. You're wrong, but I think that's what's supposed to be, where he his like his innocence, his innocence supposed to be a very important part of their night in the first half of the story. Yeah, so the Friman, look on at them. They're all like outside is like. They start they start. Yeah, Timothy Shalime, I love that little skinny boy Friman. Are like like doofly does like what?
Speaker 4:the hell is this? I wonder, this is off topic. Like even my girlfriend was like I don't think he's attractive. Well, like, but I, I get it. Do you see it? I'm like you. Just so to the time, boy. I get it.
Speaker 2:He's royalty. Everybody else is covered in shit yeah.
Speaker 1:So all the frame and they start to chant. Lizen, I'll go lead, gabe is on. I'll go leave.
Speaker 2:Gabe, it's not go leave and that means the voice for a matter.
Speaker 1:It's a off-world messiah, a prophet, yeah, or the voice of the other world, how it says the follow. They follow their masters old ways, but they truly love the Harkonnans. So essentially before the Harkonnans it was like, oh, anytime someone comes we all cheer and love them and stuff. But true, they are to believe that they're supposed to be ruthless killers for the Harkonnans. Paul boards the Ornacopter, which is the Stragonfly helicopter. It's the best. Lady Jessica says they have waited for centuries for the lasagna glee. Paul says they see what they are told to see. Paul doesn't like how much power the Ben Jezz or its half, and kind of see it on his face. There we see the trade is home. It's a massive town, slash temple like barracks into a situation he's like where they're in the big pyramid thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the big giant area that eventually looks like we're in the old Halo 2 maps, yeah.
Speaker 4:I know exactly what you're talking about. I just like, oh, if he did a halo maybe great, and I forgot we have the Halo show.
Speaker 1:I will say the trailer for season 2 looks better than the trailer for season 1.
Speaker 4:Well, yeah, because they learned some mistakes. But I've seen some of the stuff like it's still got the space parts of it Look really good.
Speaker 1:There's good parts like.
Speaker 4:I watched a scene recently from season 2 and they have the potential to be good, but then they throw in their own stupid stuff with like the humans and like because that's all seen with like the alien Elites is they look good for this. This would be a great show. And then it went back to the people's like. The people's costumes and the set they're on look terrible.
Speaker 1:So weird.
Speaker 4:It's like the party it reminded me of From the Obi-Wan show when he like first runs in Devator and like that quarry. It looked like that. Like are we just all shooting in the same spot? Like this is the only quarry we have.
Speaker 1:Why does? It look like crap, just about where can we have the least amount of stuff as possible so we don't have to pay for it?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it is Star Wars we gotta do. I just thought about that, how every Star Wars thing we've gotten recently has been in a desert, but I feel like Dune did a better job than all the years We've got a star.
Speaker 1:We're using the desert as the story.
Speaker 4:The whole point is that they did a good job with the desert in it and it, visually, is interesting.
Speaker 1:I'm like the Star Wars TV shows, except for, like, when the lightsabers light up in the dark, though always just look cool. So Gurney and Duke Lido are looking out. They are trying to spot the weak spots of their base. Duke also says they need to get the spice moving or they're gonna be dead. Essentially because if they aren't, because people are just gonna be like, we need that spice. We're coming to get it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's getting too hot and they have to seal all the doors. For some reason I wrote down the line to shower your to shower you. Scrub your ass with sand, I don't. Remember why I put that down oh.
Speaker 4:Yes, I'm like yeah there was a brief moment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he said, he asked something like that.
Speaker 4:And he says like what's the saying here? Yeah, he's given his little brolin's characters, given the little snarky comment again.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So Lady Jessica is looking on at potential house servants. She picks shout-out maips. She exposes shout-out by saying she knows she has a weapon. Shout-out says it's a gift to her because she is the one. They think Lady Jessica is gonna be the one.
Speaker 4:I love that scene cuz, like you know, she's signing hers like there might be violence and then she just abruptly yeah. It like shocked me because in that moment you can see the shock from her to you like, oh, and she's like, it's just that Realization. And like her when she says once you like I guess they say like when prophecy, you start to see what is she, she says like I can't remember. She's like when it all comes together, of like when they talk about prophecy, she sees the realization.
Speaker 1:And it was such a shock, for yeah, it's like what, once you see the prophecy playing out in front of you, it's a shock.
Speaker 4:That's so. Even that little character out there did a good job.
Speaker 1:The weapon that she has is a Chris knife, which is a special weapon for the Fremen. It's a marker of the deep desert. It's called the tooth of Shah Hulu. We see Freeman fremen outside the base looking on and praying while that whole scene is happening and essentially that knife for the first half is essentially just Because we know that Paul's gonna be given a weapon and we always think it's gonna be. We all think it's gonna be coming from the mother. We see Paul walking around and talking to a groundskeeper. The groundskeeper is watering palm trees that are not indigenous to land. Each day they water them the equivalent to what five men would drink. The groundskeeper explains that they have 20 palm trees. That equals 100 lives. Paul says they should get rid of them, but the man explains they can't do to old dreams. So it's definitely a place of tradition and old ways and the one person that can break it Will it be Duke Lido or will it be?
Speaker 1:Paul, let's find out. I have no idea. So we learn about saying worms because Paul is in his little room watching more videos.
Speaker 2:All of that awesome plaque on the wall. Yeah the picture. Yeah it's great.
Speaker 1:So we learn about sandworms and the sandwalk. They are attracted. We learn that the sandworms are attracted to sound and vibration. While Paul is learning, we see a little robot thing enter Paul's room. It's like a small, as a mosquito, but Paul is able to sense it. Either way it comes in to sting. But Paul doesn't react in. The hunter seeker, which is what it's called, stops right at his eye and he we think it's gonna get him. But shout-out comes in and Paul stops it. He says the operator should be nearby. What, uh?
Speaker 4:in that scene, where, where it stops right at his eye. Why did it do that? Was it because the operator was like it's business?
Speaker 2:based on movement. Well, it looks Well. Yeah, that's what I thought but then like ladies.
Speaker 1:That's what it is.
Speaker 4:Well, there's another guy late. Well, it said operator. If there's an operator, I figured he'd be controlling it, but if it is based off a movement, I guess.
Speaker 1:It's a great scene, I just like. Why would it stop was?
Speaker 4:it like he's skirt. He wasn't. I was like it was it. Just because in that moment it's like I I'm not.
Speaker 1:I believe it is all kind of based on maybe, and I can't remember I should have just re-listened to the book while driving to work.
Speaker 2:It is fucking cool, though it was a lot of great, I love that.
Speaker 1:It just like made the little hole and came in. I love that. And you think it's a little bit bigger. And then whenever it comes in and then it goes from his point of view, it's like when is it?
Speaker 4:I love how he blended in with, like his little tree thing to kind of like hide, watch it I think that maybe that's what calls it to stop, cuz he's like whoa.
Speaker 1:I'm blinded by all this light or something. It was so good.
Speaker 4:He just like snatches it out of the air, crushes it. Imagine if you snatched it like it's going straight and he goes like this. I'll stop it.
Speaker 1:So we we end up seeing the operator of the thing. We learned that six weeks before a Harkonnen soldier embedded himself into the wall and put the hunter seeker in the water pipes, how it says he failed them and he will be resigning. Lito refuses this and tells him to catch more spies in the book. How it is a lot more dramatic. I do not do this I. Do like dude chill bro. Like we need all hands on day.
Speaker 4:Also like dude, like he was in that for six weeks in a wall.
Speaker 1:But what's okay House to trade. He's has honor.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah the dude and back vibes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we see guys meeting with the Baron, but first we see this weird creature.
Speaker 4:Which I did not miss. That too. I missed it the first time. I forgot about it. I was like what and like the guy from Suicide squad polka dot, polka dot, man also in the dark night, right or the dark night.
Speaker 1:He won't, he won't listen to you, and she's like and it's like he runs away. He was like cool, oh, he understands. Um, she is there to give Baron a message from the emperor. They have this like little lie that comes down and it's a cone of silence.
Speaker 4:It's such a good idea. I also love the part where they're like we're outside of it and they're talking and they put captions there. Mm-hmm, like, this is so good, they detailed for it. I love it so much.
Speaker 1:That's how you know you have a visionary director. It's someone, because there's other people just wouldn't thought of that. I wouldn't have thought of that. That's why I work like that.
Speaker 4:Can you say, like there's another director now that you think I Feel I don't know. You know, do no more about directors and I do what like. To me, this is like the director who's One of the last few directors we're gonna have, that just can make a really good movie, like he's done. Some like all his movies have just been great.
Speaker 2:It's also got like a really great book to do it off of yeah, but you're adapting it and it's also like it's something it's something he's been dreaming of making since he was like 12.
Speaker 4:Everyone could be. So you can be fans, but you can adapt it in a wrong way, and I feel like he adapted it very very well.
Speaker 1:Some people just have that dog in them. So she says that the emperor will help the Harkonnans and give them the sardic her start.
Speaker 4:So, mm-hmm, sat, sat or sat a car Yep reading rainbow Jesse.
Speaker 1:Sardic army. She says Duke Lido means nothing, but Lady Jessica and Paul are a part of them and they should give them exile. Baron says he will not harm Paul and Jessica. Yeah right, and then we really start seeing more of Lord Baron's body. He's a big old boy, you can fly, you can fly apparently it's just like. Throughout the film, we slowly reveal more and more of what it looks like.
Speaker 4:That's just like a, I guess you the things they use, because they kind of use it later on. It's just I guess you'd see. It is like when you're dropping from a helicopter it's your Suspension device, it's just on your back. It's like anti-gravitic and pretty cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah so immediately Baron, as a guy, sleeps. Immediately Baron says no, none of them are gonna live. He says the desert will kill them. He begins to float in the air. He says it's his arachis and his doom. We see Paul coming in to join the council. Gernie calls out his hunter-seeker catch. He's a hero and it's kind of embarrassing for Paul. Just fun, it's kind of badass.
Speaker 4:It is like first strategy meeting and here you are catching mosquitoes.
Speaker 1:We learned that the Harkonnens Made a lot of money every year from the spice. It's essentially I don't know, there's some random. Yeah, they're like billions of dollars from the emperor.
Speaker 1:But they left them shitty equipment and it will take a long time to start actually making that type of money. Their equipment is sabotage. We learned that they left dr Leet. He kind to help with the transition. She's been there 20 years and is an imperial ecologist. Duke says he wants to see the fields and wants kinds to go with, essentially as like a hostage. Yeah, so they can like so they won't kill them because she's with us. But the.
Speaker 1:Emperor won't care. So Duncan arrives and is greeted very friendly by Paul, explains that he has lived with the Fremen. Still guard has come with him to meet. We learned that there are millions of Freeman. Duncan says that the Freeman fight like demons due to the desert power. Duke allows still guards to pass, even with a crisp knife, because he comes in and everybody's. Mean Makes sense and then still guard comes in. He spits on the ground. It's a gift of his body's moisture.
Speaker 2:It's very funny saying it is everybody's like hey, what the hell dude?
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Duke buff. But I love how calm and collected the Duke is. Everybody's like getting so offended and he's like guys, chill, yeah, like I got this. I'm like handsome and cool, you know two leaders.
Speaker 2:You know mutual respect.
Speaker 1:I got so much water my body. This boy's gonna want to be my Duke, wants to work together. Still guard, says the.
Speaker 2:Walks up the piss yeah.
Speaker 4:Here's all the moisture.
Speaker 1:I don't know like usually they this spit. So this must be a really good. This meeting must be going really well. Still guard says they only want spice and give nothing in return. Still guard says they should not trespass into the desert and their land. They are to take their spice and go back to their side of the shield wall. Do says that if duty calls Him to the desert he will have to go, but he will leave him their ceaches and they will never be hunted. They say that on him. He's. Still guard says that it's honorable but he must go. He's done talking. He says he recognizes Paul, like in another tongue or whatever. And then Garnie does not. Garnie doesn't like him, though. They say it will take time but they can work together eventually he's like. Duke realizes like oh, he seemed to respect me a little bit, yeah.
Speaker 4:He went well. Anything, he's alive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, leaving, yeah. Then we cut to. Duncan gives Paul a para compass. Duncan admires the Freeman because they are fierce and wild and they are one with the desert. They're the Ewoks they are going to. They're going to the minefields. Now we meet kinds.
Speaker 1:She gave them the still suits. They're the suits made by the Freeman. It's a filtration suit that cools the body and recycles. This way you can drink it. She checks Paul suit and he is wearing it perfectly. She's not have to adjust it at all, which is part of the prophecy. It's someone that's he's just already knows how to do everything. And they are off to the spice sands. While flying they see one of their harvesters. You can see the spice covering the sand in the sky. They have these crafts in the air that can detect sandworms, because the sandworms attack the spice crawlers, which is essentially the harvesters. Fucking time, yes, crawlers can't have shields because it attracts the worms, the vibration, and in the distance they see a sandworm coming. The crawlers will wait last minute to be picked up to avoid the worm. While the harvesters is being Are being picked up, one of the anchors breaks during pickup. Duke Lido goes into action to pick up the crew of the heart, he's just like.
Speaker 1:They go to get the crew. Paul is ordered to stay back at the thopter. He picks up spice for the first time or, like he likes, in hails it. Well, I love this first, he just like holds it in his hands. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I thought of a great Thought exercise for this part. He's like breathing in all this stuff for the first time. It's like imagine you're the prostitute and Jack Nicholson dumps a pillowcase full of cocaine on you.
Speaker 1:So I guess the spices is actually like LSD.
Speaker 4:Yeah, thanks him like differently. I'm assuming, yeah, he's sensitive to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's just like on his knees, talking to the truck, I mean.
Speaker 1:He's a 15 year old taking LSD for his first time in his life.
Speaker 1:I don't get you Really got any water in a system. It's all built up in a suit. So the doors of the harvester open up the crawler. Captain says they can't leave because of the spice. Duke says forget the spice and and immediately, like you see Dr Kynes, just like, look over, like damn boy, and you're sensitive, let's go. Paul is ordering people into the ship and the wind blows spice in his face. He's getting high as Boy out there seeing leprechauns. He hears an eerie voice saying Quizats had a rack, and then he falls to his knees and we hear quiz at had a rack, awaits the sandworm is arriving. Everybody on the ship is on the ship except Paul. We see him kneeling on the ground and he's like I recognize your footsteps, old man. And then Gurney like peers behind him and picks him up.
Speaker 2:We've all been there. I mean, you got that friend. It's just too fucked up.
Speaker 1:Like this is another thing that we see why Paul is the one it's like. Even in sand he knows Gurney hi on LSD and in sand he knows Gurney's footsteps. We just know we can. He's, he's got that dog yeah right, right to the ship. We see the sandworm begin to sink the crawler, make it onto the ship and fly up as they watch the worm eat the entire ship hole like it was a dang Survive, because I feel like they don't get that much nutrition to survive.
Speaker 2:Well, imagine like I did this, like the worm taking, like a really strong CBD gummy yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1:If you go a little further in the desert you just see them all just like. So at the base, duke choose out Paul. Duke says the Harkonnen set them up to fail. Kind says the desert is not kind to equipment. Men like him have come and gone before and then we got dr you. He check, he checks on Paul and says he will be fine. Paul tells Lady Jessica that he had a vision. He saw Channy walking the desert and in caves. Paul is following her, the kiss, but then Channy stabs him. He says he thought he saw his death but maybe it was the knife that was important, someone. He thinks that someone may give him a knife. Then we're getting like Shots of Lady Jessica, like with a child, and she also like reading shots of the knife that was given to her. He also knows that Jessica is pregnant. She says no one can know, it's only been a few weeks. He's like mom, I know you're a slut.
Speaker 1:It's like he just starts saying like the exact conception date. I saw everything.
Speaker 4:Oh, what like this is a scene from Game of Thrones. I saw you on your wedding night.
Speaker 2:He's just watching his mom have sex, dad gross.
Speaker 1:You know he's a freak. We are back at the house, harkonnen. They are preparing for battle. Harkonnen outnumber them now that they have the satirac, but house the tradies are the finest fighters. Lady Jessica goes to Duke Lado and to tell him something. Duke Lido interrupts and says something has been wrong with Paul ever since he saw a guy us. He asked her if the Ben Jeserit side of her will protect Paul, because at first he's like I, she's like I will protect her. It's like not talking about the mother, talking about the Ben Jeserit of you. Lady Jessica is wondering why Lido is acting this way. It's mainly because he knows he's dead at this point. He thought they would have more time. He says Paul is staring at a man fighting at a boat, like a little statue of a man fighting a boat, which is?
Speaker 2:there's a lot of that imagery is this supposed to be like he said? There was it, their grandfather grandfather was a bullfighter.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dr, you gives Paul uphill and some water. Oh, I'm assuming it's to help them sleep.
Speaker 4:I think it's just like they said no, I want to sleep naturally, yeah, Well, that's the thing, because everybody takes their pills except for Deglida.
Speaker 1:He's like I want to sleep, naturally, and that's why he's able to wake up.
Speaker 4:I missed it the first time and he's like when he said I should have married you, he's like, oh, oh, Ben Gisra has a lot more than I realized. I'd watch it the second time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I mean, there essentially weren't, they were essentially. It's almost kind of like a range marriage type thing, not really. They got together because it made sense more than for love. But there was also love and he regrets that because she was. She is looked down upon in the books a little bit for, not for just like, because people think that he just married her to have, like, a special powerful kid. He's so it wasn't, so she's kind of. I don't know. If you read the book it might make one more sense.
Speaker 2:Political life yeah For more.
Speaker 1:So Jessica and Duke Lido are in bed. We get the line. I should have married you. Outside, we see guards being shot and falling to the ground. Their shields are powering down as long along with the lights. We see Duke Lido wake up and see lighting flashing on his walls. He sees flashing out in the distance like Morse code. He calls for security. The comms don't work. Turns on his shield. Someone is on the ground dying, it's shout out. While checking on her, he is shot with a dart and falls to the ground. He's like oh, I'm going to shoot you, little bitch ass. Walks up. Gurney is awakened and they go outside to prepare for a fight. We see ships start shooting at their base. All their ships are being destroyed, even though they have shields.
Speaker 3:Then we see a whole army of ships landing, and all this, by the way looks amazing.
Speaker 4:I loved like. I was like oh, where are those things dropping? It's a bomb and it knows it has to slow down and when you just like, because even the sound of when it goes into the shield and it explodes and it's like, oh, I'm going to shoot him because the shields are over it, and just oh, man love this.
Speaker 1:Every detail is like so good. Yeah, it's insane, Like just the visuals of the flames at night, and just so was was the ship?
Speaker 2:was the Duke killed by a bullet, like he said?
Speaker 1:No, he's just been paralyzed.
Speaker 4:It's just a paralyzing dart, because he's supposed to bring him to the Baron, right, okay, right, it seems like it's a natural color and not kind of like how you like would say, that they put, like a color correction of too much of like one tone over it. I just feel like it's a good neutral color and it works very well in its favor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they did kind of like dim down the contrast a little bit. I'm kind of tell sometimes I kind of wish it was a little up, I don't know. Gerny goes up and starts whooping ass. Her Conan men start entering the barracks. The men are holding them off but the Sardikar flanked them. We cut to Dr Yu with Duke Lido. He made a deal with Baron to bring Duke Lido to him. Baron took Yu's wife. Dr Yu gives Lido a poison tooth that he can crack and kill the Baron with. So cool.
Speaker 2:We see last minute dentistry yeah.
Speaker 1:And then we see Duncan Idaho Wreck-n-Ship. He goes to Paul who is missing. Paul has been taken hostage. The Harkonnen are going to drop them off in the desert. We see that one of the men is deaf and Lady Jessica realizes it. Also, the part with Duncan Duncan is destroying the Sardikar.
Speaker 4:Well, he's like Fuck yeah, man, he's like a Brawland's character, he's just another weapons master.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Duncan Idaho fights off more people and gets into a ship. They were like, when he walks out, like some of the people are coming to him and he just like kills two real quick, and they're like all right, we'll see you later man yeah go ahead.
Speaker 4:We're not in this with that. You just got four people.
Speaker 1:He blows up some ships when he's like escaping but and he's being kind of like shot down by a giant laser but he's able to maneuver his way out. Lady Jessica is looking for an escape. The men on the ship want to drop the kid in the desert and keep Lady Jessica for themselves. Paul tries to use the voice to have them on tire Gag, but it doesn't work. He's like straight up punched in the face. Lady Jessica tells him to find the pitch. He does and he unties her and she uses the voice perfectly and has them all kill each other.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she kills the last one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, her voice rules God.
Speaker 3:I just love when they used the voice in the movie. It's so good.
Speaker 1:She says Paul's pitch was too forced. The ship lands and turns off on its own. They run up a sand dune and see their base being completely destroyed and nothing but desert surrounds them.
Speaker 2:God they're in such good shape running up this hill. It's like super soft sand. They're just booking it. He's like go go go.
Speaker 1:We cut the Duke Lido completely paralyzed. He's naked and everything, just like in a giant table, kitchen table.
Speaker 4:It's like they're a dinner skateboard. Dude over there Just fell in skateboard.
Speaker 1:I really want to know like how he was.
Speaker 4:Like man, your whole army, everyone looks like they could just destroy something. And you're over here like I need a suspension thing on my back just so I can get around.
Speaker 1:Right, it's the gluttony and the greed the Baron. The Baron is at his huge table just eating all the food. He's like you got a nice kitchen, duke.
Speaker 2:In the desert Stuffing his face.
Speaker 1:You see those awesome In the desert. Lady Jessica and Paul are in a tent. Dr U leaves a note for whoever found the Frem Kit there is an Atreides beacon that they can use. Dr U goes to the Baron and says he jammed their comms and lowered the shields. Dr U asks for his wife. Baron floats over to Dr the doctor and he's like okay, I'll let you join your wife and just immediately kills.
Speaker 4:Be free with her.
Speaker 1:He turns the Duke Lido. Now in the Frem Kit Paul also finds a thumper and a still suit. Then we're back to the Baron. He explains that Paul and Jessica are dead and that the house of Atreides is dead. Duke Lido mumbles and the Baron gets closer.
Speaker 2:He turns on his thing first because he knows he can't trust us. I love that little like just clicks his ring, he thinks that he could be faking and he could like stab him or whatever.
Speaker 1:And then Paul finds his house ring. Lady Jessica sees the ring and starts to cry. She knows that he's dead. Duke cracks his teeth and poison and gulps the Baron, yeah, kills everybody in the fucking room.
Speaker 4:Love that scene.
Speaker 1:And the Duke Lido lays dead staring at a bull that one Late night Kynes watches on Duncan. Idaho asks for her to tell the Emperor but she is ordered to see nothing. Idaho knows the Emperor sent them all there to die Sucks.
Speaker 2:Rip. Yeah, that's right. It's probably Atreides.
Speaker 1:Yeah, too bad, paul's probably gonna die in the desert. We see the Baron floating in the corner of the room, coughing and floating.
Speaker 2:He's just up in the corner.
Speaker 1:Get the black lung pop. Good thing I'm so big. It took the poison to reach.
Speaker 4:I don't know whatever, all my fat cells protected me yeah.
Speaker 1:Paul begins coughing and sweating. He says that there's spice in the tent. He sees Cheney walking the desert and they watch as the two armies are fighting. We watch like two armies fighting.
Speaker 4:It's the Sardic car and then I love how, like you see the Fremen, how they come out of the.
Speaker 2:They pop out of the sand. Yeah, oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 1:That's how they do it Really good detail in the beginning. Badass, we see one guy is like really kicking ass. We see that Paul's with blue eyes and he does this also move. And then he releases his mask and we see it's Paul, but he's got blue eyes and there's like a giant sand worm, essentially looking like they're fighting with him. He sees the Chris knife and a bunch of Barty, barty's, barty's burning and Cheney with a bloody hand. He sees the Freemen on Caledon and he's leading them. He sees a holy war. He sees a warrior religion that waves the trade. He's banner award my name.
Speaker 4:On the skull of my father's throne. Yeah, that was a good scene though. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1:Lady Jessica is trying to calm him down. He uses the voice to get her off. He does it great this time. This is so good. He says he did this to him and made him a Ben Jezzeret freak Dang. It See, 15 years old, yeah, they're a little temper tantrum. Then, when they start hearing the beaking and Paul says it's time to go, they come out from under the sand, which is great because we see this desert mouse. First it's like sweat His ears are sweating and then we see sand moving up. And then Paul pops up and it's like you're underground, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean the sand is not so moving. Is that they use the sand like manipulator?
Speaker 1:Yeah, Because it created like a circle of sand. That's so good.
Speaker 4:It's like the sandworm's mouth, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a ship comes and lands. It's Duncan, idaho. He like bows to the new Duke. He says your father, he's dead. We learned that the Harkonnen hit every population center on the planet at once. Duncan says she can't say anything. But Paul sees that she was. She still wants to help, like while they're flying off, we see people building a little tent. They are hiding in an old ecological testing station. We learned that Arrakis could have been a paradise. Once they noticed the spice, they changed their plans Because essentially, like holy hell, we're going to make some drug money. We sit like too bad. The emperor was Walter White. We see that kinds may be close to the Freemen Fremen more than we think. Duncan Idaho walks into the room full with plants. We see these just like oh hey, things can grow here, maybe, like we can do this, what can happen?
Speaker 4:This is what they wanted to do.
Speaker 1:We see people spitting into a container. Paul says the great houses Real gross. Paul says the great houses fear what just happened to them. Paul asked Dr Kynes to tell them what has happened here today. She doesn't think they would believe her and it would cause war and chaos. But Paul has an idea to marry one of the emperor's daughters. Kynes says that he is living in a fantasy. Paul confronts her and says he knows she walks between two sides. He says that as emperor he could make Arrakis a paradise with a wave of his hand.
Speaker 4:I also think it's a little bit later when they're sitting there and they hear the isn't the Fremen who are there also? Yeah, some Fremen are there? Yeah, they're the ones spitting that silence, that happens because they can tell someone's coming. If you notice later Paul kind of has that a little bit. He's like someone's here. There's another of that things.
Speaker 1:The Fremen just seem to sense it in general, because whenever we see them they're drinking their spit or whatever.
Speaker 4:They probably sense like the disturbances and vibrations, kind of like the sandworms.
Speaker 1:And then, like, everything got super quiet and then we cut up and we see that some of the sardic are there. And then, when it pans down, we see that they just left all their glasses there and it's like, where'd they go? I'm assuming they all have that little thing that created a tent and they just like put it on the ground and like hide under there. And then pop up.
Speaker 4:Imagine we see them sitting it up and they're just sitting there digging away like dogs.
Speaker 1:We see men outside debating whether he is muddy. Then everything goes silent and people start floating down from the sky. It's the sardic, are the Freemen since it and surprised, attack them. Duncan, idaho hears them coming, so does Paul, jessica and kinds. Duncan is ready to whoops a mask. Paul realizes this was his dream. Duncan closes the door on them so he can fight them and have Paul escape. He fights until he's a scab and stabbed, not scabbed knocked out.
Speaker 2:They got him in his Achilles abdominals.
Speaker 4:Still cool scene. Just watching him like tear people.
Speaker 1:Like 20 fuck. Jessica says he's gone though and dead. Sure, you know, can't kill Jason like that. They're trying to get into the room but Duncan arrives and tries to fight them off, but Neville dies, sure. So essentially we think he's dead and then he gets back up and then he fights some more and then I'm sure he won't come back up there.
Speaker 2:He has to die to be reborn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dr Kynes gives them still suits and a ship. She is going to report the attack and she admits that she is freemen and the desert is her home. Kynes sees a worm like a sandworm and kind of runs to it. Paul and Jessica make their escape. We see Kynes get setting up some thumpers to call a sandworm. Before the worm gets there she is stabbed by the sardic are. She tells them she only serves shy Shahi Halued. She starts pounding on the sand and then the worms eat them. Hell yeah.
Speaker 1:Noice, fucking, awesome I'm gonna be eating by worm If I gotta go this way? I don't think so. A giant sandworm Probably be pretty fast.
Speaker 2:I mean, I know.
Speaker 1:I guess he hit that stomach acid I saw one of those billions of teeth. Yeah, some movies. Please chew me first.
Speaker 4:I don't know what was the horror movie and there's like tentacle, octopus, monster spit the guy out and he was like half digested. Oh dear god, no.
Speaker 1:It could be like nope.
Speaker 1:The giant ship just swallows them and they're just like in this tube just screaming oh man, that was a good scene. So Paul and Lady Jessica are being chased. Paul flies into a sandstorm to lose them while potentially crashing. Lady Jessica does her fears, the mind killer speech and Paul is having a vision of the Freeman. The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve but a reality to experience, a process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of process, we must join it, we must flow with it. I think that's James saying all that. I believe Paul comes to and they brace for a crash landing. It abruptly cuts the Baron soaking in some black goo with grills before he's finished healing. Rabon comes in to tell them they lost them in the sandstorm, but he's certain, but with certainty he thinks they are dead. Yeah, I love this black goo stuff that he based.
Speaker 2:It reminds me of.
Speaker 1:Spectre like the intro, you know, like after when you start getting the Bond song and it cuts like these cool little animations and stuff for the Bond song. Spectre has all the gooey like tentacle stuff.
Speaker 2:He's got the like the gross yellow goo coming out from his wounds.
Speaker 4:I guess Maybe it's like poison or something.
Speaker 1:So Baron is relieved, and he wants to start selling his spice reserves slowly, though, because he doesn't want people to know that he has a huge reserves of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he doesn't want the price to go down. The price to go down too.
Speaker 1:yeah, baron says kill all the Freeman, you can. Back to Poland, jessica. They're sleeping and waking up and begin flying again, because they're just like I guess they just passed out.
Speaker 4:They're riding the storm.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're riding the storm and gliding. They were coasting before they make it above the sandstorm and are able to glide above it. They lose all but one wing during the gliding crash into the sand. They immediately have to run to the rocks to avoid sandworms.
Speaker 2:The part of the sandworm comes out. So fucking awesome, I know it's so good.
Speaker 1:They put on their stillsuit. Jessica needs help. We see meaning she's not the one like some of the people we're thinking. We see the sands rimes up from a worm. The two are going out to find the Freeman. While walking we see the vision Paul had earlier of Duncan with the Freeman. It takes all my power to not say Freeman.
Speaker 4:But yeah, you have still said Freeman the whole time.
Speaker 1:Freeman. But while walking we see the vision of Paul had earlier of Duncan with the Freeman. Yes, Paul has another vision where he is with Chaney walking through caves. He hears multiple voices, he is told not to be frightened and a friend with help him, a man, says he will show him the way out of the desert. That's actually James that says that this is essentially just his visions, leading him to where he's supposed to be.
Speaker 4:And that was that. Was that the same guy who is like I will teach you the ways of the desert? Or is that a little bit later, I guess, I can't remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's so many. I should have wrote who was the one saying all this? Using Duncan's compass, he says the siege Duncan stayed at is up ahead. They're going at dark and they will have to do the sandwalk so the worm won't detect them. It's a really silly walk. Yeah, it's like a little dance thing. Yeah, I feel like this is making more noise than just walking.
Speaker 4:It's supposed to be the natural vibrations of the desert. I don't know what one.
Speaker 2:It's the electric slide.
Speaker 1:They only do it for like five seconds and then they're just walking.
Speaker 4:No, if you watch them like the only time you kind of notice is when they're going up the hills, Like they're not doing it now, but even as they're coming over the crest they're still slowly doing a little sandwalk.
Speaker 2:And I think they only have to do it in places where he said this is worm country, because like other times, they're walking through the desert.
Speaker 4:Welcome to doom, it's worm country Also like the way these worms like go around through vibrations. I was like did tremors get inspiration?
Speaker 1:from this yeah, tremors is inspired by this. Okay, cool.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If it literally, if you look up movies inspired by where it's known that it's inspired by doom.
Speaker 2:It's like a hundred movies as well Romeo and Michelle's high school reunion.
Speaker 1:Napoleon Dynamite, Tina Tina was a sandwagon. So while taking a break, they see they are getting closer. While walking, they step on a drum sound sand trap. They meet this immediately essentially calls a worm. They just barely make it to the rocks and we get our first real glance at the sandworm. This was breathtaking in IMAX by the way, I was just right middle of the screen. It was me and two people in there. You're all holding hands.
Speaker 1:No, they were like it was just two random people, because I went like on a random Wednesday or whatever, and they were like wow, it doesn't look stupid.
Speaker 3:Nice, I don't. I told the sandworms like hey, get off my sand.
Speaker 1:Get off my sand. Timothy shall obey, get out of here.
Speaker 4:This is my desert. I'm gonna get you. How did the worms look in the original? I don't even know.
Speaker 1:Well, it's very like stop motion, I believe I can't remember. Honestly, I should have rewatched it, but I mean, I watched it to whenever this movie came out. I just didn't feel like doing it again, paul, so there's some thumping.
Speaker 2:We start hearing like some thumping.
Speaker 1:Oh, Paul and the worm bond.
Speaker 4:The part where he like stands on the. Where he stand on the, was it hard sand, he said. He stepped on. And why is it? In that moment they're like oh, this isn't our walk, Is it going to work? Cause I missed something.
Speaker 1:So he steps on the sand and it makes it loud thump the hollow like sound like something oil. I think that it's the frame and put like a drum underneath it.
Speaker 4:So when they hit it, immediately calls worms to come out, so it's like a trap kind of thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what I? I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2:That's what I thought. I thought he said like I missed what he said.
Speaker 4:I thought he said hard sand and I was like oh, is it just like compacted so much when he steps on it it creates their little dance. Won't work.
Speaker 1:I mean maybe, but it just definitely seemed like a seem like a drum under there, called that big boy. But yeah, so the worm just like pops out and is just staring at Paul and Paul staring at its mouth hole.
Speaker 4:I guess I don't know, its little sensor thing starts beating, because then it starts detecting the thumb and its like I'm going away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's so fucking big.
Speaker 1:They start hearing the thumb and the thing's like gotta go, paul, see you soon bud See you later. See you later, paul.
Speaker 4:Give me a good ride. Bye Paul.
Speaker 1:Bye, paul, hope you find your dad. Bye. Oh, my god. While they catch their breath, Paul realizes they are not alone. Then we see that they are all surrounded by Stilgar and the Fremen.
Speaker 4:That was another good scene where it's just all silent.
Speaker 1:And then Paul picks up the little it's like every time you turn there's like a new person that's like where'd you go from? Stilgar realizes that it's Paul. James is another Fremen want to kill them and use their water. He says they are weak and he can't be the Liz listen ugly gay. Stilgar speaks up for them. Stilgar says Paul is young and can still learn the fremen ways, but Jessica is too old to learn, so they start ready to fight.
Speaker 2:I'm at me, bro.
Speaker 1:She's like. You don't understand. I'm about the weird.
Speaker 4:And she didn't have to use her voice, she just straight up kicked his ass Because loved it because the Ben Jezzers can also fight.
Speaker 1:So yeah, they make quick work of them. Jessica puts a knife to Stilgar's throat and Paul gets the high ground with some sort of like gun Pistol, kind of like the first gun we see. Stilgar asked why she didn't say she was a weirding woman, and then he's a fighter.
Speaker 1:Peace woman. Yeah, and the weirding is just what the freemen called Ben Jezzers the witch. The witch, jessica realized releases him. They offer them refuge behind Paul. We hear the voice of Channy saying she would have not let them hurt her friends. She reveals her face. She thinks he looks like a little boy. You see, immediately everybody's like this little boy.
Speaker 1:Stilgar asked for the pistol. He says he will have his own pistol when he earns it. Stilgar says to go, but James is being the worst, says he won't have them. He says the strong should lead. And Lady Jessica defeated Stilgar. And then he's like so I want to fight her. And Stilgar's like, no, dang it. It's like he's like well then, who will champion her? And then it's Paul, I'll do it. And he accepts. He sees a vision of him dying. We hear a voice that says Paul tradies must die for the quiz at. So how to rack to rise in the vision, james takes his hand after stabbing him. See, and this is where we're like, okay, well, obviously Paul's not gonna die here. This is where we start to realize all the visions are only like half true. Well, like they have like a different to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was the guy. He was I for the message.
Speaker 4:Because of the guy he fights is the guy he saw. He's like I'll. I'll show you in the ways of the sand and stuff and he did through the fight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it was. That's what it's like, because all his visions are like kind of like it's like your dream, like you can see a face, and like because in your like, the person you see in your dream is doing something You've never seen them do, but you just have that vision of them. I don't know, but he did show the way to. He showed that like to be a friend and you're gonna have to kill and you're gonna Like have to learn their ways.
Speaker 4:I love them in the middle of the fight, which you probably bring it up. But he's like why is he playing with him? It's never killed a man before and the silk are like that was a terrible.
Speaker 1:So Cheney says she doesn't believe that he's the Lizen Agaib, but she wants him to die with honors. She gives him a Chris knife which is like, oh, that's not the moms, that's her. She's the one who gives him the knife. Which is essentially we're supposed to realize like, oh, everything's gonna play out a little different here. It was her great aunts. James calls him out, says she says he won't let him suffer cuz she thinks that Paul's just gonna lose. Paul wants to tell her about his visions, but he says it decides not to Paul and James ready to fight. James says he should accept his blade because the world will kill him and it's what gonna be way worse than what he does. Paul gets the upper hand and ask him immediately.
Speaker 1:Yield. I said there is no yielding, though. Paul, we learn from still guard. Paul keeps not killing him but something snaps and he kills James and a Paul, a tradies all in one stab and then grabs James's hands Like James did in his own vision. The Freeman wrap his body, quickly wrap his body, and they all start touching Paul. Cheney gets up and believes. Now Paula Like believes that he still leaves on ugly. Paul is mournful. Still guard tells him he is one of us now. Jessica says they need to get off the planet, but Paul says no, he says his road leads into the desert. He can see it. If you will have us, we will come see you. Hell, yeah, you build it. But pretty awesome that this giant 165 million dollar budget movie, sci-fi movie, ends with a small fight and it was a good fight.
Speaker 4:It's always.
Speaker 1:It's not, it's a very Personal it's like a very Pinnacle, like yeah, it works, because if I mean it had to happen, it's important for the character. If you do things for characters and it makes sense, it works and don't need a giant battle. Plus, we already had our big fight right.
Speaker 4:Several of them, like it was so much ass-whipping.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to see until doing part two where there's a whole lot more fight.
Speaker 1:Wait, we get shots of them walking into the desert. Paul and Jessica look out and see someone writing a sandworm Desert power. Yes. Cheney turns and tells him this is only the beginning. Paul smiles, jessica looks on worried the end Fuck yeah, okay, dun, dun, dun, dun. Part two yeah, I mean so Great, right guys? Yes, fuck, yeah, it is. I always never know what to say.
Speaker 4:I love that movie. I.
Speaker 2:Wanted to go out when I was so pumped the whole time.
Speaker 1:there's movie you know what is great I don't want to end the movie. So I looked up and I was doing notes and I was like, just like typing away. I was like this is gonna take five hours to do the notes. It did In the terms, but it also didn't help that start watching it and the next thing I know I just watched ten minutes and I'm like it felt like a minute this movie moves so quick.
Speaker 1:I remember watching in IMAX and just being like Was this is a over two and a half hour long movie? It does like I was there, like an hour there's movies like that that are long but don't feel long. It's just so good to watch like I feel like a John Wick 4, I think it was the fourth one, yeah, john Wick 4, up until I Think there's only like one fight where I was like maybe we didn't have to do this.
Speaker 1:I feel like it could have been a little short, but I thought it went by pretty fast too, I think cuz like I that does a good job, don't doon does a great job.
Speaker 4:But, like you know, the Batman movie great movie, but it does feel like it kind of goes on a little long.
Speaker 1:Well, it's because if they cut the 15 minutes at the end, that is all setting up like five TV shows in two different.
Speaker 2:And, yeah, I think the the real what they do really did beautifully here is like they interpreted the book and and what? Because in the book you got a million different people. You got you're constantly introducing a New person, but the kind of do it and they do that too, but they kind of do it in a way that doesn't Kill your brain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's really the first like 40 minutes. Like you don't realize it, but you're getting info dump.
Speaker 4:Visually it's so good and you're getting all the extra information. It's just a treat for not only the eyes but the brain because of all the stuff you get. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pretty much pretty great. Okay um, and in terms of like adaptation, from what I remember, like it's really good adaptation. The only thing that is different is Duncan. Idaho is not a Crap. What's his name? What's the actor's name? Jason, not a Jason. I'm a bro type guy. Oh really, it's just yeah he was he was.
Speaker 1:He was a little more. He was friendly to Paul, but he was not as like my boy. Well bro, I just got done smoking that he's more like an older brother. Probably more serious, like he's, probably like a little bit more, but more Brawlins, like seriousness, I would say that's like I mean, we're just like pretty close to just having like him Land in his dragonfly ship, opening up the door, a bunch of weed smoke coming out have you ever noticed these things look like dragonfly, like who would have thought of that? Oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 4:Could you imagine being an I max? I don't know how People would react to it, but if you took just like a mushroom and then went and watch this movie and I max I. Would know never done it neither by, but it would be like I feel like it would just. To be amazing it would just be, or you're gonna have to freak out.
Speaker 1:It's like right when the worm comes out, just like, oh, this was a bad idea.
Speaker 4:Oh, that one, or do you my nightmare? Have you seen the promotional cup for doing part?
Speaker 1:two yeah, the promotional. You've seen the promotion.
Speaker 2:Like a cup for drinking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no it's, uh, it's the popcorn bucket.
Speaker 4:Is it a bucket.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a popcorn bucket. You should see it, because I have a face of the dune, worm on it, yeah.
Speaker 2:Let's take a look here.
Speaker 1:Oh God do you want to stick your penis in it? I do, cuz that was immediately all the memes. Yes, it's like it's a bunch of guys just being like going to see you. Like there was one where it's like it showed like all the girls that are in madam web and then it was just like One dune popcorn bucket for me to watch madam web that does suck like it's like I don't want popcorn in it, I just want butter.
Speaker 4:Is that dune part two is not really gonna succeed when it's gonna have to compete with madam web, that's sure.
Speaker 1:I Mean it has no chance, madam web's gonna double.
Speaker 4:Weekend is the movie. I don't know if it's gonna be Whenever it comes out on streaming. That's definitely a night of Gonna. Just let's watch this movie, just Entertain yeah, that'll be a we don't recommend.
Speaker 1:I haven't seen it. I mean I might find it fine. I don't know.
Speaker 4:I saw one scene from it and I was like so people make a joke, it's like. One person was like which of these scenes didn't actually happen in madam web and I was reading them out.
Speaker 1:I saw that too and I was like I don't know which Exactly, and I saw one all bad.
Speaker 4:Um, oh, my god, I just I saw it and I quit watching the video because it was just so bad. I was like this is gonna be like you saw. Did you watch the second Venom movie? It's even like it's. Everyone says I didn't think you could get worse than Morbius and apparently they did. And I'm like I can't wait. I'm not gonna pay to watch it, but I can't wait to watch it at home.
Speaker 1:I know it's like hurry up coming in at looks.
Speaker 4:I feel bad for Sydney, sydney, swinney yeah, like yeah. Well, apparently some of the stuff like what she was told the movie was gonna be when she was brought on for it Is not how that movie is, because she thought she was gonna be like a new.
Speaker 1:She thought she's gonna be a superhero.
Speaker 4:Yeah, like a spider like a new spider girl woman, whatever she is spoilers, but they're probably gonna tricky with that. Yeah, she was like seems like she's kind of said you see, dakota Johnson, she's like I'm not going to watch anything about, like madam web, she wasn't gonna watch it as a therapy for herself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Also think she's playing into it, because all her questions at the start of the promotion for it was like so what about this scene of people have been kind of been like thinking it's funny and she's like what, I don't, I'm not on Twitter all the time, I don't know. And then I think like she's kind of figuring it out, because now her, her interviews are getting a little bit more and more silly. I'm like she's just totally playing into this to get these.
Speaker 4:I mean it's good, I just Go with it instead of being like I didn't know it was gonna be like this. Yeah so you can kind of get away from that backburn because, let's be honest, dakota Johnson like really that great of an actress.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she is. She just got her career ruined by the 50 shades of gray movies.
Speaker 4:No, no, she's the same and I saw her in something else after that. It's like, and I saw the first 50 shades gray movie and I was like, and I saw her in something else, like you, kind of the same person. It's just her tone.
Speaker 1:I guess it's just how she plays, but yeah all right, we have to get, we have to finish out this doing stuff first. So we're gonna do our first category the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. It's where we talk about the good of the movie. It's something that we like. The bad something we didn't like. The ugly, something that an age will define, something that aged well, my good is just the casting and good at adaptation of a book.
Speaker 2:Of a book that I have never read, but I want to yeah.
Speaker 1:I release listen and it's a complicated book to do. I mean you definitely couldn't do it and Like the whole book and one movie.
Speaker 4:David Lynch Knows that someone told me it's like this is supposed to be one of the movies that is impossible to make and I'm, after I saw this is like, well, this guy knows how to do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they always come out was like the most impossible book to do and it's like no, we could figure it out if we really gave us the time, did you say you had like a complaint about a scene later?
Speaker 4:Yeah is that like you're or you maybe that's your bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do y'all got any more good yeah?
Speaker 4:I just say the set like when, like the costumes, great costume design and using a real place. We like the amazing cameras we have now Again, it's just take advantage of it.
Speaker 1:You don't make a movie better. Desert girl, the guy dang desert boy. Right, just do it. Just go spend the money you got all this money. Studios Even the actors, could probably put the bill at this point. The amount of actors they have in there, yeah, they could have like three of them could have funded the whole thing by themselves. All right. So for the bad, I said needs more sand walking because it's.
Speaker 2:Because I thought that too.
Speaker 1:It is a little goofy, but I go with. I thought it was.
Speaker 2:I think it's all I wanted more right, because sometimes they're just walking through the same. You're like why aren't they getting a type of worms constantly? They're not doing the sand walk but it's just.
Speaker 1:It's such a funny, silly little walk. I wanted to see more. And then my second one Is the first act is better than the second act, I think. I think the first act is.
Speaker 4:I could. I could kind of see where you say that I feel like, yeah, I could. I can kind of see that because it's so much more Building, like you said, info dumping on you and it's such a visual treat.
Speaker 2:We all know how much Jesse loves being dumped on love being done.
Speaker 1:But well, it's also just the very beginning. You know getting a lot of storytelling, you're learning, you're getting a lot of great performance, all the actors, and then, once they're attacked, and it's the end of it, it's just like we have to run here now. We have to run here now. We have to run here and it's just, it becomes very Second half sci-fi.
Speaker 4:Oh, I think it's like just say it's done really well, like don't give me.
Speaker 1:I don't hate the second half, I just think the first act is better than the second.
Speaker 4:I think I could see it like the way that is like well, we could save this for part two, but if we do it now, we get to Cut out a lot of that build up that we just did but if I was being real about this, I would say the bad nothing.
Speaker 2:But I'm gonna come up with you think that's the second half is more of like you know, like the hero's journey, because you have. Is awakening and he's. He has to go through this like a lot of times they use things like forests, or I guess in this case the desert is like this transitional it's gonna be the worms period that they go through the worms is gonna be him.
Speaker 1:You'll see it all deals with the worms. It's gonna be a worm heavy.
Speaker 4:We're all gonna have worms at the end For the ugly.
Speaker 1:I have nothing cuz. Until an actor comes out as being. A terrible how this is gonna be that bad.
Speaker 4:I would say the ugly is knowing what I know now about um skateboards character.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's actually the good, cutting all that out. Yeah, don't.
Speaker 4:I didn't eat it when she told me that I was like.
Speaker 1:I really wish you hadn't told me that you look at the guy, you already know he's bad. You don't need to add that. We already want him to die killed.
Speaker 2:All you did, you got anything, jason for bad for the ugly, for ugly, no, but I think a lot of movies now are doing a lot better of a lot better job of not Putting in things that can like really fuck shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in. The future.
Speaker 2:I just feel like they're getting better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely knowing like, hey, this was too much, let's cut this out, let's just more. Yeah, so the fine, which is something that age will. I'll put Timothy shallow me, cuz that guy's stalk just keeps going up. Zendaya, she's everywhere all the time, and the dune story in general.
Speaker 2:Just inspired, everything ready to get it to dive deep into the doing. Yeah, dive deep in my doom.
Speaker 1:So we're gonna go to our next, our next category, which is double feature. It's a movie that pairs well with Dune.
Speaker 2:I.
Speaker 1:Pick the movie oblivion starring Tom Cruise. It's just like kind of a lot of. Is that the one reason and he's in the like test school, or that sperm Ship?
Speaker 2:yeah, and he finds out he's got like multiple copies of himself doing the same shit. Yeah well.
Speaker 1:Oilers oh. No, but just visually it's super interesting, even some of the ships kind of looks similar and it's definitely inspired a little bit by doing Hell yeah, but it's like something maybe not everybody's seen. I just remember loving it when I saw it was cool, it was a very unique. You haven't seen it movie. I think I have two copies. All right, y'all got a double feature tremors action.
Speaker 4:I thought about this is like what's a good movie that has, like I think has really good visuals for like the space and stuff, and I thought even the story wasn't that great was Elysium.
Speaker 1:Oh, they're gonna be like a little well-known movie called Star Wars.
Speaker 4:Elysium.
Speaker 1:I love, I loved Elysium. It's, it's good whenever I saw that because I went to theater to see Elysium, didn't know anything about it other than that it was like Neil Blom came, directed it and I came out like, wow, five stars loved it. Got home, looked up the reviews and like oh Wait, was I wrong or they?
Speaker 4:saw me about that. It's like when you watch a movie you go online it's like 20% and I universally hate it. After you liked it and I was like to me that movie. It's been a long time since I've seen it. But visually great movie story in my opinion is weak, but it's still just a great movie to watch, like it's.
Speaker 2:They're played disco Elysium. This is pretty fun.
