SHORTS: Dune: Part Two (2024)
Episode 37
Saturday, 18 May, 2024

In this long edition of SHORTS we discuss and debate for nearly the duration of a full length commentary. Jules: More characters, more locations, more worms, more desert, and more engagement with themes of mass mind control and the metaphysics of destiny. DUNE may be Denis Villeneuve's dream project, but has it become his waking nightmare? David: And speaking of dreams, why does the Fremen one based on myths and faith keep coming true, while the smarter-than-thou Bene Gesserit one based on calculations, manipulations and unholy trysts keeps turning out wrong? Who's trolling who in the Dune-iverse? Meanwhile this dream franchise grows apace, drawing a sparse narrative from its dense source text, leaving space for sensorial nuance, albeit often at the expense of logic.
