Saturday Night Freak Show

Colin comes to believe he's the Kwisatz Haderach as we take on David Lynch's much-maligned science fiction epic Dune (1984). Two feudal houses war over the production of a spice, mined from only one planet in the galaxy - the desert world Arrakis - where 400 foot sandworms roam the landscape and where the prophecy of a coming messiah promises freedom from a corrupt empire. Listen as we try to untangle Hollywood's ongoing attempts to bring Herbert's novel to the screen, through versions by Alexandro Jodorosky, David Lynch, John Harrison and Denis Villeneuve on this weeks exciting episode!
