My girlfriend doesn't care at all about the science-fiction novel Dune, by Frank Herbert. But I love it. In the spirit of... something, she has agreed to read Dune chapter by chapter and talk about it with me.

41 - THE FINAL EPISODE

Dec 10 2021 55 mins  
...Probably.  What will history remember you as? I mean it's the end of the book. Should I even tell you guys anything about it? Thank you all for enjoying this podcast all the way through! We love you guys! Stay subscribed for further announcements. Caitlin and I are always cooking up new projects, and I really do think we will eventually get around to doing a My Boyfriend (o

40 - Caitlin is vibrating with excitement

... Because she almost doesn't have to read any more Dune! This is the last chapter, part 1. Paul's in the fish-tent and all's right with the world. But he's suddenly kind of a dick? What does this bode for the sequel books that, and I've checked, Caitlin will NEVER read?

39 - Alia the killer creep

Dec 10 2021 51 mins  
This one goes out to my man Jordan on the MGBRD Can O' Worms Facebook group! Thanks for wanting to hear more eps, brother. We’re inside the golden fish tent and we get to meet the Emperor for the first time. Nice. We also get to see the Emperor make the Baron squirm. Excellent. Then Alia shows up. Exquisite!

38 - Planning is for nerds

We’re back! And we’ve got all the final episodes recorded. Here they come. In the third-to-last chapter, Paul, Stilgar Gurney look out over the Emperor’s fish-tent. THE EMPEROR IS ON DUNE! No women in this chapter. You can guess how Caitlin feels about that.

37 - Dream Warriors

(Chapter 45) We're back in business after a looong hiatus, and we've only got a few more chapters left to go Chani and Jessica reunite because Paul has gone into a coma. What has that l'il scamp been up to?! Hey, he hasn't been trying to change the water of life has he? But only two types of people can do that: a Bene Gesserit reverend mother or the Kwizatz Haderach. He's dead

36 - Jessica and Gurney meet again

Feb 09 2021 43 mins  
(Chapter 44) In this chapter, Gurney and Jessica get back together, sparks fly, some strategies are talked about, and the Fremen decided Who's The Boss. Also: Caitlin's favorite serial killer, Reconstruction, Our cat Scout biting my feet (see pics on Twitter @my_dune), and we might have to change the name of the podcast for accuracy...

35 - On their feet m'Lord

Feb 01 2021 58 mins  
(Chapter 43) Boy this chapter is like in Home Alone when Kevin's mom finally sees him in their giant rich-people house after she's been flying for a whole week. Gurney is reunited with Paul! But he's still harboring a knuckle-sandwich for Jessica. And there were Sardaukar embedded with the smugglers the whole time! What a twist! Also: Keep your Dune song parodies away from Spongebo

34 - Worm Surfin' FINALLY

Jan 14 2021 52 mins  
(Chapter 42) WELL WELL WELL! Look what giant invertebrate decided to show up and grace us with their being ridden! TOOK YA LONG ENOUGH! Paul Utah grabs his worm-board and catches some sweet worm-segments. It's like a whole lifestyle, brah. You won't understand it until you try it yourself. But Bodie Stilgar thinks Paul still has a lot to learn about worm riding. And maybe they need

33 - Alia's masterclass on devastating burns

Jan 03 2021 51 mins  
(Chapter 41) We're in the south with some of the Fremen ladies, working hard and missin' our guys.  Alia is straight-up dunking on Harah in front of everyone, but Harah knows it comes from a place of love. Kinda sweet! Also: Caitlin is confused by QAnon (who isn't?), is Alia exactly like the E-trade baby, and I get distracted by the cats. Come talk to me at @my_dune on twitter

32 - Paul's pre-worm warm up

Dec 08 2020 39 mins  
(Chapter 40) Paul grabs his Fremen surfing gear and is ready to hit the waves desert-fashion! The waves in this case being the leathery, hook-damaged segments of a worm back. Surfs up! Caitlin and I talk a LOT about how we imagine the worms in this one. We are ON TASK except for when the cat does something cute. @my_dune on twitter or on Facebook at the My Girlfriend Begrudgingly R
