We're back for our first release of 2022! On this Dune Talk show we're joined by Dr. Kara Kennedy (Dune Scholar) for an insightful interview about Women’s Agency in the Dune Universe: Tracing Women’s Liberation through Science Fiction, the new book based on her PhD and years of research. She goes in-depth into the Bene Gesserit—and female characters in general—focusing on their abilities and influence throughout the entirety of the Dune saga by Frank Herbert.

Kara's study places Dune within the context of the time period when the series was first published, including second-wave feminism, the new wave science fiction, and other key influences. We discuss how Frank Herbert's writing the Bene Gesserit's strengths in Dune speaks to key themes of women's agency both in history and today's current issues. What are Kara's thoughts on the movie? She shares her critique and reactions to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One, and its portrayal of women.

For this holiday recording of the Dune Talk show, we're happy to present an exclusive interview with one of the actors you've seen in Dune: Part One. Richard Carter, who plays Harkonnen Trooper #2, offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at shooting the movie at Origo Studios in Budapest, Hungary.

You'd be surprised by just how much effort went into filming this scene where the Harkonnen soldiers kidnap Paul Atreides and Lady Jessica. Richard, piloting the ornithopter, shares his experience working on the ultra-realistic sets of Dune, together with the truly passionate and detail-oriented Denis Villeneuve. How was the audition process? How was it like to act together with stars Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson? We cover all of that on this week's episode.

We continue our scene-by-scene Dune: Part One movie review. This week on Dune Talk we pick up from the 50-minute mark, with Paul walking into his first strategy meeting. Gurney takes the opportunity to embellish on the incident with the hunter, although this only partially lightens the mood.

This passage of the film establishes how precarious the situation is for House Atreides and introduces us to two Fremen leaders, however highlight is the first encounter of Paul Atreides with the deep desert of Arrakis—there the spice melange causes an awakening deep inside. Finally, we get to see Salusa Secundus, homeworld of the feared Sardaukar warriors. We're going deep into all the details, so the show contains full spoilers for the movie.

On this week's show we continue our scene-by-scene Dune: Part One breakdown, picking up from after the Gom Jabbar test (as covered last week). From the 29-minute mark of the movie, we explore revelations about the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and the symbolism in Paul's last moments on Caladan, where he lived for his first 15 years. 

As House Atreides arrive to take over Arrakis, there's so much happening—both in conversations and the visual spectacle. There's also the religious aspect of this story and we dive deep into the native peoples' beliefs and how the powers of the Imperium are involved in these messianic myths.

On Denis Villeneuve's 54th birthday Dune hit a key milestone, closing its third weekend at $103.9M! Impressive considering that's only from 34 countries, but how does that compare to other movies like No Time to Die? Johnny, Marcus, and Simon dive deep into the numbers: How well will Dune have to do, to be considered a success? What role will HBO Max play? What's the break even point for the movie? 

Also, another clip from the movie was featured during Rebecca Ferguson's appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It's a really touching moment between Lady Jessica, her character and Duke Leto, played by Oscar Isaac. We explore what this scene tells us, both about their relationship and the wider Dune universe. Spoiler discussion is kept to the last minutes of the episode (with advance warning).
