Fear is the mind-killer…
On this week’s episode of Deep Thoughts, Tracie and Emily welcome their cousin Jake Cohen to talk all things Dune, from Frank Herbert’s influential series of novels to the 1984 David Lynch adaptation to the recent Denis Villeneuve films. The conversation ranges from the intricate and well-thought out worldbuilding to the political implications of an extra-planetary messiah leading the Fremen of Arrakis with the promise of sandworm-killing water. While Herbert’s grand vision inspired countless writers and filmmakers, Dune still retains some outdated fatphobia, homophobia, gender essentialism, and sexism that were more typical of the 1960s, when the book was written.
The spice (and the podcast episode) must flow!
