    Dune is FANTASTIC (and so are these other things...)
    Mar 5 2022

    Evan and Pat discuss the new 2021's Dune, which they both agree was FANTASTIC in all caps. Then, they suggest other films to watch, such as Cloud Atlas, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, and Contact.

    Next we chat books, including the original Dune novels (Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune), Book of the New Sun, and the Bobiverse.

    In the video game section Evan shouts at Pat for having never played Mass Effect and goes on a nostalgia trip to Dune 2000.

    Finally, we chat about the good and bad of Dune Board Games (Dune, Dune: Imperium) and Pat gushes about The King's Dilemma, a legacy board game that forces players to argue over difficult political, economic, and social decisions.
