In this episode, Steve and Alex dive deep into analyzing the sci-fi epic Dune directed by Denis Villeneuve. They discuss the film’s plot, character development, emotional resonance, and how well it accomplishes what it sets out to do categorically.
Through their trademark “Meat-O-Meter” rating system, Steve and Alex rank movies on a scale of 1-5 based on the quality of cut of meat the film would receive.
Between analysis of the book adaptations, Hans Zimmer’s phenomenal score, and dissecting the balance of sci-fi and fantasy elements, Steve and Alex find much to praise in Dune’s world-building and storytelling. They also touch on the challenges of adapting such a dense, thought-provoking story for film.
