This episode is what happens when you get five guys who like movies to talk about the recent Dune movie. A long, fun, and hopefully insightful conversion about Paul's turn to dark messiah, the highs and lows of the climax, pronunciation, the romance, the score, why anyone should care about Dune, and in true homeschooler fashion, how this story compares to the Aeneid. We hope you enjoy!
