Episode #221: Dune
I go deep on the "Dune" franchise, and review five films related to Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel from 1965; "Dune" - David Lynch's interesting and flawed version from 1984; "Frank Herbert's Dune" - a three-part TV mini-series that aired on the Sci-Fi channel in 2000; Jodorowsky's Dune (2013) - a documentary about a failed 1970s project; "Dune" - a new big screen adaptation from acclaimed French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve from 2021; as well as its follow-up, "Dune: Part Two" released in 2024.
