Description
Actor, writer Jon Daly (Ding Dong Delicious) joins for an epic discussion of David Lynch's 1984 version of the science fiction classic DUNE starring Kyle MacLachlan, Virginia Madsen, Patrick Stewart, Francesca Annis, Kenneth McMillan, Dean Stockwell, Max von Sydow, and Sting. Based on author Frank Herbert's mammoth novel, DUNE was conceived as a mega-budget blockbuster to follow in the footsteps of STAR WARS, only to be met with scathing reviews and a disappointing box office take. In the decades since DUNE, Lynch time and again proved his dark genius as a director, demanding reevaluations of his most commercial, yet least successful directorial effort. What shall be the lasting legacy of Lynch's flawed but phantasmagoric version of DUNE, sandwiched as it is between Alejandro Jodorowsky's never-realized version and Denis Villeneuve's stunning but spare 2021 adaptation? Strap on your stillsuits for a gom-jabbing conversation that will forever redefine Dune Discourse, complete with diversions into M3GAN, broken bones, James Cromwell, tar, TÁR, Jay Leno sightings, wrestler-actors, THE EXORCIST, and much, much more!
