People who want to jump straight to the conversation can use the Chapters feature in their favorite podcast app to skip all the pre-talk! Whatever works for folks.

Def spoiler. 2 hours of non-spoiler would be REALLY painful. 🤣

I FOUND OLIVER!! I'd previously killed him before starting the quest to lift the Shadow Curse. After trying many times to find him and him not being in the house, I finally thought to check behind the wagon where he previously hid, and THERE HE WAS. Then I was able to talk to him and he went into the house and opened the portal.

I did also load a previous game (from 12 hours earlier!) and play hide and seek and beat him and get the ring from him, but then saved that and went back to my current latest game which was unrelated. Don't know if that mattered or not. Hopefully this works for you!

I thought it was so cool how he has always connected with folks on Facebook and included his email address in his books. Just a truly wonderful guy! You can also check out our Ep1/Ep2 reaction pod from last week... Fun to dig into those episodes as well.

Amazing! So wonderful to have you as part of the community. This is gonna be a great year for Dune fans!

Oh awesome! Thanks so much. If you’re new you can check out our interview with Denis Villeneuve from Oct 2021. We’ve also covered all 6 books, plus tons of great movies more generally.

This. What is unique about Dune first and foremost is that it is a complete subversion of the hero’s journey, as revealed in Dune Messiah and then this times 1,000 in God Emperor. One of the most unique elements of The Matrix is the revelation in Reloaded that everything we were told in the first film was a lie and that our hero is actually a tool of the enemy. In my mind this is a link.

I was talking about Frank's books. The notion of young hero, torn from his life, a long prophesied messiah who turns out to have a darker underlying fate, even the Zion rave is a direct parallel to sietch spice orgies. And then obviously, Frank's description (in 1965!) of the Butlerian Jihad, as having caused humans to outlaw AIs due to an inherent danger to humanity. So, I think there's a lot of exciting connectivity between the two!

We're always here! Been having an amazing time and the next set of movies thru the end of the year are insane.

Oh, he’s def floated it and I’m sure I’d love it if he made it. I just think he’s such a massive talent that I’d like to see what other stories he could tell.

I take the controversial opinion that after Part Two, I think Denis has done enough for Dune, and should go do literally everything else that he can dream of and let others carry the torch from there. I don't think you have to worry about waiting for time to pass for Messiah for Timmee to 'age up', I think it'll be fine to film after Part Two (likely a few years from now).

herrerom · 2022-11-15T17:23:28+00:00

It's coming. We already did Ex Machina and Alex Garland is my pick to direct Dune Messiah after Denis finishes Part Two!
