  • Movie Monday: Dune (281)
    Feb 24 2025

    Firstly, apologies for the delay in show notes. I’ve been laid up with a stomach bug the last few days and any kind of infection exacerbates my MS symptoms which effectively leaves me bedridden. But enough about that…

    As a tribute to the passing of visionary David Lynch, this month’s movie was Dune from 1985. An adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel.

    This episode features contributions from:

    (in order of appearance)

    Jason Connerley of Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast (podcast & blog)

    Joe Richter of Hindsightless (podcast)

    Goblin’s Henchman (podcast & blog) & the Umber Bulk

    M.W. Lewis of The World’s of MW Lewis (podcast)
