Join us in this spice-filled episode as we venture into the expansive universe of Dune! Neither Syd nor Josh had read Frank Herbert’s iconic book series before, but the mesmerizing film adaptations by Denis Villeneuve pulled them into the sands of Arrakis. We're excited to have our friend CJ back on the podcast to join the discussion. We'll compare the books to the films, explore the rich themes of politics and religion, and share our favorite moments and characters. Whether you're a Dune novice or a seasoned sandworm rider, this episode promises to be a thrilling ride through the desert. Tune in for a blend of insights, laughs, and a whole lot of spice!
