The sleeper awakens.

First of all, before we get into this, I just want to do my expressed vocal warm-up for the show. Sure. Hi-ya!

Oh, good. Now I'm Fremen. Two towers. There were two towers, but there was a building seven. There was also a building seven. Hell yeah. I love an undulating cry. Like a candle in the wind. Elton John. Yeah, absolutely. And then he flipped that song to be about Princess Diana. And it was originally about Madonna. But no.

Marilyn Monroe. And then the song. Oh, yeah. Marilyn Monroe. Yeah. Madonna's still alive. Madonna should be dead. I'm glad we started like this. Because. Yeah. Because you're completely immediately wrong. Madonna's an old chimney. That's the song that should be written about her. Hey, old chimney. Glad you're not dead.

You know, I am too, but today we're not here to talk about the differences between Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, and Princess Di. Rude dooners rise up! Rude dooners! Get your fucking still suits on and suck the shit water that you have made with your body through the tube into your nose and make sure when you're out in the open desert, you have to breathe in through your mouth and breathe out through your nose. What is this, Waterworld? Come on, people. Come on. Actually, it's a lack of Waterworld, but...

It's raining in Los Angeles today. I hope it's men. It's decidedly unalike Arrakis. Welcome. Welcome. To LPN Deep Dives, dude. I am your god emperor, Henry Zabrowski. I sit here with my human wife, Holden McNeely. Here again, we ride the worm. There you go. Let's ride the worm. Tests of strength. You know what I mean? Oh, my God, no.

Let's get in there. Do you think that they allow... I'm your Gurney Halleck. You are. You really are. Do you think when they put together the group of people, they're going to do the undulating cries on the soundtrack? Do you think that they get... How do they pick those guys? Do you think they drop a bunch of hammers on a bunch of people's feet and see who goes, Aye-yi! Aye!

You know what I mean? Because it's fucking, they really, they hit those undulating cries very, very, very hard. Look, it's trained professionals. You know what I mean? You haven't seen Ayo's Got Talent, where the people come up one after the other. Now give us, what is your name and age? Ayo!

I am Busul. The base of the tower. Oh, fantastic. And what is your goal in your career, Busul? I will unite the tribes. All right. And I will be named Mordi, the desert mouse. All right, big. That's a bit advantageous, but start whenever you're ready. Okay. Get us what you got. Ma.

My little buttercup has the sweetest smile. But we are here today to talk about Dune 2. Now, Dune 2, we are back. I'm so happy. I got to see it twice. So nice. I saw it twice. I want to just initially throw it out there. I think what you and I got to see, we got to see an early screening. You tried to get a chant going of Dune 1. You tried to get a chant.

chant going of my team. No one joined. I was really high, so I was immediately uncomfortable by the whole thing. But I think right, if I remember this correctly, we were all collectively blown away when it went Dune

Part 1, right? Yeah, we were all like, what? What? What the fuck? Because, again, that was a... We were surprised. Yeah. Now we know that Dune 1 covered, honestly, about a third of the book. Yeah. So I knew that Dune 2, depending on what the H he was going to do, Denis Villeneuve, because now I know how to say his name...

I want credit for that. There you go. I want French-Canadian merit for that. All right, there you go. Here's your fucking badge. Thank you. Yum, yum. So we were like, well, Dune II's got a lot to cover, unless now I had heard aforementioned there was rumors that there was going to be a third Dune movie. So going into Dune II, I was a little concerned that we were just going to get the second third of Dune. Oh, God. And they were going to be like part two of Dune.

Oh, three. I thought that when they got to, there was like a point because honestly, the movies, it's long, but suitably long. It got, it ramped up as it went. We're going to go longer. Just so you know, before we even begin, spoilers. We're going to be talking about the entire film and all of our opinions on it. That'd be fun if we just danced around everything that happened in the movie. People get mad either way. Vaguely. I liked how there was sand. Yeah, I mean. Maybe worms. It's most of the reviews. You just got to say it because.

because Eddie just barely said a thing about True Detective season four. A lot of people got upset. Women in that one, huh?

Yeah. Was that the thing? No. Jodie Foster's good in it. We just said in the end is that it wasn't supernatural, but then everyone freaked out. That's a spoiler. There you go. But it's also then we realized it's actually not a spoiler at all. It's actually not a spoiler because actually there's like a lot of other shit in there and it does sort of hit. That's the actual spoiler is that it actually kind of doubled back and it kind of hits. I'm just telling you, that's the actual spoiler. Nothing. I'm going to spoil everything that you've seen. Tar.

It's fucking stupid. Tar was dumb? That's a spoiler. Maestro. Guess what happens in a maestro? Shark jumps out of the water, eats his fucking dick. Wait, wait. Tar, your opinion that Tar is stupid is not a spoiler. That's a spoiler, my friend. Tar was pretty good. Guess what Tar is backwards? Rat. That means a fucking sneaky ass movie that nobody cared about. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're big worms in that one, though. That was a surprise. That was strange. She took those hooks out and she was like, I cannot. I not only can I compose. I can ride. Yeah. Yeah.

Very good. I think you have a future in the business. You move on to the next round, Brawnock. Yeah, maw bitch. Now, so back to Dune II. So at the very beginning of Dune II, I was a wee bit concerned because as the movie's going, you're like, oh, they got a lot of ground to cover. Oh, we're going to do. And then the surprise third act of Dune II, I think, is one of the most exciting pieces of sci-fi action film so far.

since Empire Strikes Back. Yeah. This is definitely the Empire Strikes Back of this sequence of films because now we know that Denis Villeneuve plans a third film. Yes. So Dune 2 has just a general sort of like mock-up. It covers the last two-thirds of the first book of Dune. Can we just back up real quick? I just want to say in general, general thought about the movie.

It was like a it was like an action ballet or something. It was so like music filled. And so like my seat, the soundscape in the theater really is a movie to see in the theater. My seat was like rattling the entire time. In a way that I love because this was funny is I bitched about Tenet so fucking hard. And part of that was how obnoxiously loud it was. But what are you what's complaining about?

Tenet. It's the entire movie. I hated Tenet so much. I love Christopher Nolan and I recently re-watched I love Christopher Nolan. I re-watched Tenet and then re-watched Inception. Uh-huh. I don't know if it's good. I don't think it is. I don't think either.

them were good. I think Inception's maybe good, but Tenet is beautiful. It did. Tenet was so bad, it made me rethink my thoughts. It made me question everything, how I felt about Christopher Dahl as director. That's what Inception did to me. I watched it on a plane recently, and I rewatched it, and I was like,

Wait, is this just like trying to sell like this overly masculine, badass, complicated puzzle box thing? Well, it's an hour and a half of exposition. Yes. Just to set up an action scene. Well, so Dune 2, they do great. They nail it. They do the opposite of Tenet. Even though the sound was oppressive, I was there for it. It was beautiful. It was like just...

They hit the ground running. They hit the ground running. Now, just so you know, so Dune 2, we get a lot of, I got a lot of messages. People say like, oh, you know, these companies pay you for good reviews. I wish because I would.

I'd take that fucking money and I'm going to go straight to goddamn China. HelloFresh, bitches. Yeah, buddy. But... Blue Apron's your fucking snitches. It does work, man. HelloFresh honestly is a really wonderful meal service. I just did a sponsorship for them on Twitch, so thank you for giving me, buddy. HelloFresh. See, we can be. We can do it. We can do it. But Dune 2, this is my honest review, is that it was not...

I hate to say it's not surprising. Denis Villeneuve is an amazing director. Yeah. And what I also love is that we get to sit here

and critique the extremely hard work of some of the finest artisans in filmmaking. And we're just two fat dumps. Yeah, totally. The only thing we are allowed to critique is fucking sandwich artists in Subway. Dude, and I'm allowed to, and I do. Absolutely. Heavily. And they're raising their prices. I read them the filth. Go to Subway. It used to be Meatball, now it's Chicken Baker Ranch, and neither at this point because I haven't eaten there for so long. Don't eat there anymore. You don't want to do that anymore. Okay. Just eat the meat.

Steve piles me. Okay. We're doing that tonight. Yeah, that'll be fun. But so at the top, it was like, it wasn't again, I'm not surprised, but doing one, my main takeaway from doing one was that it was beautiful stylistically, but it did feel like I was excited. I was happy to see it. Loved Baron Harkonnen loved, you know, at the, at the time, like I love Timothy Shama lemon ding dong as young Paul. I thought that he was good as the sort of confused man. Rebecca Ferguson is,

is a dunkalicious. She's an incredible Jessica, and she's beautiful, and she's powerful. All in the first one, Johnny, you're like, oh, what are they going to do with Zendaya? Obviously, they need to bump it up. The main true speed bump in Dune 1...

It's touchy. Watch it. Watch it. Full disclosure. Someone that might be identified as my brother works for a company owned by Jason Momoa. I really like his vodka. The vodka is fine. It's good. The vodka is good. His vodka is good. Okay. No, I...

I'm trying to say this and as many, I think that he seems like an affable man. That's a nice thing you said about him. He's a generous boss. That's another nice thing you've said about him. But I still feel as if he's not Duncan Idaho. It's hard to, okay, I will say. Because you notice they steal the attributes from Gurney Halleck that are in the book and they give them to Duncan Idaho. Duncan Idaho is supposed to be sort of this mysterious dude that's in too deep with the Fremen that's actually sort of

kind of inspirational to Paul, but he's dark, he's twisted. He's so loyal to the Atreides that he's the only one that would accuse Jessica of being a traitor, which they took all that out of the movie anyway, right? Of Dune 1. And he was also, and he's so loyal to the Atreides to a fault that he becomes the number one assistant to the god emperor of Dune, Leto II, as the last remaining...

a piece of the Atreides like pure pure loyalty Maxim that they have that the entire family abides by right so we now know that Jason Momoa is probably going to come back in Dune 3 if it does come back I was going to say everything I was going to maybe say feels like a spoiler about this is spoiler town baby okay we're in spoiler city even the books even the books

They better have read the book at this point. I don't think he's so bad in that instance of the first film, but I have a hard time visaging him doing the things that he will be doing hopefully in these future books. But also, isn't it kind of hard to see a sham-a-lam and a giant...

Well, Shamalama Ding Dong wouldn't be in that. I guess he wouldn't be, right? It would probably be Barry Keegan. They're going to make somebody else, right? This is so going to be Barry Keegan. It's definitely going to be Barry Keegan. It's going to be what, Paul's son. Yeah, yeah. So my main issue with Dune 1 really, unfortunately, was just the... I felt just Jason Momoa's vibe was a little too bro-y. Upon re-watching Dune 1 before going into Dune 2, it still is the one thing that sticks out. And also, they kind of like...

Zip-zop-zop through his original meeting with the Fremen. They kind of like very quickly, Jessica's brought into the fray. They're like, oh, the weirding way. And then like, but I also love Javier Bardem's performance in Dune 1, but altogether,

it wasn't a complete film. Dune 1 kind of felt like obviously we're missing something because we're really not there. It really just, it really was just the first third of the book. Real quick about Momoa 2 is, but you have to remember demographics. I understand. We have goth boy lust coming into the theater and blocks with Shyamalan, but we needed big,

big, strong, bringing the women in. Man lust. They're trying to make Dune palatable to women. To non-sci-fi nerd women, the gay man. Yes, yes. But you know what? You know what the thing is? The way that I feel that they should have done that, which is what they did in Dune 2, which is bring the Benny Jesseret up front. So Dune 2...

I am endlessly impressed. Now I've seen it two, two times, about how much Dune they got into the movie. And how weird it is. They went there. I love that. Also, well, I spoke with David Dasmalchian. We did a little interview with David Dasmalchian talking about his experience on Dune. And the only, that is what's missing in Dune 2 is fucking more mentad action because there's no mentad action. I loved it. There's a whole scene David Dasmalchian

where it was him torturing Dr. Yui in the first movie. And it was fucking, like he said, he had a whole like villain monologue and it all got cut for time. Because I don't even know how much they explained. I'm trying to remember. It's all awash a little bit now because there's just so much information. I remember we, Lex and I rewatched the first Dune the other night. And there's a mintat moment like,

right in the beginning of that movie. Oh, yeah, through Fear Howl. It's like, head goes up, and I'm just, and I pause, and I was like, do you know what a mint ad is? And she hadn't, so I explained the whole butlerian jihad and everything. And then you fucked for hours? And then we fucked. I got in her butthole, dude, which she never lets me into that hole. Damn it. That is a forbidden hole right there. The worm rides again. That was the thing. She was like, get the worm bucket. She's like, get,

She was like, get the popcorn bucket, get it. I was like, what do you want to do with it? You know what I mean? It was amazing, dude. Yeah, so that was awesome. But anyways, besides that whole butthole moment, it was cool to explain her to that and be like, yeah, this is this whole other layer to this thing. You don't even know, like, watching these movies. They haven't really explained the butlerian jihad. No, they would not. No, no. Why would they? It would be like Inception at that point. They'd just be like, and then this is the background. That's it. More background. You know what I feel like they should do, especially for Dune 3?

Give out pamphlets. Honestly? With all of the stuff in it. Honestly? Give us glossaries so people can really get into it. They did that for something. What did they do that? I know they did it for the Hateful Eight. Yeah. They had those programs. Those were really cool. They did the 35 millimeter. Or do the fucking John Waters thing. Hand out Smell-O-Vision. I would love that. Yeah. Just scratch and sniff. Smell the inside of a fucking still suit. Still suit juice. Still suit juice. Scratch and sniff. That's merch that we're leaving on the table.

on the table, dude. That's fucking shit we're leaving on the table. I can't believe I'm criticizing anything after they did the fucking worm mouth popcorn bucket. Because I can't get it. Yeah. Because I couldn't fucking find it. Brutal, huh? I actually have some friends that are reaching out. Really? This might be too inside baseball. Jackie has it. Yeah, I know. She doesn't deserve it. Dave Bautista might be able to get me one.

I'm trying to get some inroads. Dude, he was so fucking good. So fucking good. Your Space Coast vacation is preparing for liftoff. Start counting down now. 10, 9, 8, 7. It's time for a beach vacay that feels like heaven. 6, 5, 4. Come explore Melbourne and the beaches. 3, 2, 1.

All right, so let's start from the top. So Princess Irulan is now kind of shown more in this movie. Florence Pugh plays Princess Irulan. I like what they did with Princess Irulan. I think that she did a really good job because you forget, and when they don't really expressively talk about in Dune II, but I think is great that they do it without expressing it. They show, not tell, which is that she's Bene Gesserit and what she's going to do

in Dune 3. Essentially, like, this is all setting up, the storyline of Princess Irulan is going to set up her position in Dune Messiah if and when they get to it. Then you have Christopher Walken. It begins with them talking about, like, obviously, now that the Harkonnens have the dude, which is also love, I love. The movie hard starts with fucking all of Harkonnen owning Arrakeen. Guys coming in and out. Um,

Christopher Walken needs to maybe maybe needs to take a break. He was I would look scared and tired. Yeah, I definitely he was maybe the only person in there where it's like I always love him, but I felt like I was watching Christopher Walken in a Dune movie as opposed to like everybody else was on Arrakis. Yeah, he was on a set. Yes, in Los Angeles. He was Christopher Walken like and I know that's

Easy to say because he's very specifically himself in most of the things he does, but I don't know how to define it, how to describe it. Yeah, exactly. Yes, he's just not plugged in. He was like, I was waiting for him to ask where like craft services was. Yes, that's how it felt. That's how it felt. And then what I also love about this, and then it jumps into some hardcore Fremen action.

Yeah. And you made that noise when that Fremen action started. I was like, whoa, it's tool time here? Is that how we know the proof it happened right now? But it jumps right into an assault of the Fremen against the Harkonnens. And because we know that

Now that Paul is in the desert, he's going to go from this child that is trained by the Atreides clan to being kind of brought into the ways of the desert. The Fremen people believe that he'd know it anyway. They do a cool device where Chani is sort of teaching him the ways of the desert played by Zendaya, which I actually thought was a really good choice for her character. I was like, cool, this is what we do. But they showed how much the Fremen kick fucking ass.

which I think is really important because I rewatched the David Lynch's Dune in the theater. It was awesome. Me, I went and you forget. And that one is there. Like it's kind of rinky dinky. You forget how in the end it's like, it's two and a half hours of monologues. And then it's just Kyle MacLachlan going, and we're going to get them. And then they just like, it's just the end of the movie. And then it rains. And you're like, what the fuck? But this, you showed that the Fremantle are a deadly fighting force. Yeah. Zendaya,

is like at first she's like, oh, I like this guy. My one thing about Timothy Shyamalan Ding Dong is that I love Timothy Shyamalan Ding Dong as sad young prince.

I love him as mystical, like confused about the prophecy. Less convinced in terms of a warrior way. Can you imagine him being able to tear open a sugar packet? Right. Never mind beating the living shit out of another giant man. Right, right. That is the only thing. He does good movement. And he did like fun in the fights. Like you could tell, like he worked hard. But it's still just like you're fucking 100 pounds soaking wet. Yeah.

you are, you're a human bookmark. Yeah. And you're literally going to go and you're going to fight the saduka. Now that he's where he's at in the movie, then you're back to believing it. Like you're back to believing him when he's like just in charge and he's just commanding people to do things and masterminding things and, you know, making these hard, sad boy decisions. You know, that makes sense. And one of the big choices that Dune 2 made that I also loved was that now we also know that Jessica,

It's pregnant. Yes. We know that she's got full of cums and it took. Right. And they can talk and they can have a chat. They can talk. Yes. But they, they kind of did it in a classy way, which is, you know, like fine for me, but I kind of want a fetus going like, Hey, I want to be Gilbert Godfrey. Yeah. Yeah. I mean like, look who's talking. That's what I prefer. Yeah. But they, what they did really fucking good in Dune 2 is that water of life sequence. Yeah.

Now, he heard, so they, the Fremen, they go through the whole rigmarole saying that our Reverend Mother is dying. If you want to be a part of our community, you're going to need to take her place. That is Stilgar to Jessica. She basically says, okay, I have no choice. Meanwhile, like, you know, Timothée Chalamet Ding Dong goes to play with worms with Zendaya. And so she goes in, that cool sequence of like the creepy old Reverend Mother. She goes in. They called her the Sayadina.

That's their version of the Reverend Mother, if you remember. But one of my favorite bits in the whole movie was watching that fetus get splooged with blue. Because partially I, right before the movie, I don't know if you heard me, I was fucking... You were moaning in ecstasy. Yeah, that was weird. I thought it was like, is he coming? Are we...

That's my new cum noise. They go, ay-ya! I will say, before the movie, there was a lot of fun people screaming about worms. Well, that was really surprising in Juju, because L.A. is famous for having kind of like uptight audiences, as far as I'm concerned. But like, people were going, where are the worms? And I got a laugh. I forget what trailer it was that we even watched, but it was this big action trailer that the end, because people were screaming for worms, at the end of the trailer, I just went, no worms!

Yeah, the crowd did. But that was the problem, but then that spurred other people. I inspired a bunch of dickheads, but they all got shushed in the beginning. But I actually just feel bad because I set them up to get shushed, and I'm sorry for the dickheads. That's why the comedians told the editing. And I was drunk, so I should have...

He had less sense and said more things. No, that's comedian instinct. I know when to hold him. I know when to fold him. Yep. And you know when to scream, where are the worms? Yep. Now they go, the water of life sequence. That's what I love. So the baby's talking to it, but like when it gets a part of what I was, and I've been mad about, which is the erasure.

of blue when it comes to spice. Right. So in Dune 2 and the beginning of Dune 1, you see to them, they make the spice look a bunch like a bunch of shiny crystals. But my thing is that remember flavonoids used to put in gum? Flavonoids. Yeah, yeah. Totally. Yeah. They had that whole thing where a bunch of women wanted to marry him or be with him or whatever. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. But these guys are they got sparkles in there. And my thing is, is that

spice is fucking blue which is why their eyes turn blue right why in the living fuck would their eyes turn blue if the spice isn't fucking blue and they go and look for the spice and they look for the shiny patch and it's like what is this Cher's underwear drawer I am looking for fucking blue spots that's where the spice should be now why is this so annoyingly important to you I don't know

I don't know. It's consistency. I mean, I think that's why. Well, you know what it is, is that it's. It says, hey, this guy read the book. He's making a movie. You know what? It's stripping the uniqueness of the book. Yeah. That's it's like making it. But Denise Villeneuve, he does it. Denis Villeneuve, he does it. He makes the water life blue as hell. Yeah. And I was like, thank you.

Thank you. It made the water of light blue as hell. And I think my favorite thing that like felt the most like the books is how psychedelic that sequence was and how darkly psychedelic, like anytime we're dealing with like a Ben A. Jesser at anytime we're dealing with, it is, it is space, which city in this way that I'm just so fucking about. I feel like that's my favorite thing about these movies is that they exist and they're the big blockbuster of the moment and they're fucking dark and weird.

Weird. Really weird. He did a good job. It's just so unpalatable in a certain way, and people are fucking down. We don't need to be over-explained stuff. We can just, like, you can just throw shit at us that's crazy and big. This movie should prove that you can stop

spoon-feeding us garbage. And talk about jumping away from the same old, same old formulaic structures of the MCU and everything recently, which I just have so much fatigue on, much less with sci-fi and Star Wars and everything. I was in Star Wars. I forget what movie it was. I think I was watching that fucking Luke Skywalker origin movie, right? And...

It's one of that. Sorry, Han Solo origin movie. I made it through half of it, I'm sure. And they were doing the thing they always do. And I said, if I have to watch in a Star Wars movie a group of people sneak into a base to steal a person or a piece of data and then all hell goes loose and they have to shoot their way out, I'm fucking never going to watch another one. You do this every goddamn one of these movies. I have to watch you sneak into a base and then shoot you. It was just so...

the same thing over and over again. Well, we know... Dune is just... Superhero... Dune 2 especially is flying completely off of it. Absolutely. And superhero fatigue is real and it is slowly but surely happening. Let's grind it to a halt. Let's grind the content machine to a goddamn halt. Hell yeah, Matt and Webb. Let's do it. Let's fucking do it. So...

Johnny then comes in. So now they're setting up all this prophecy stuff. What I also loved about Dune 2 is that they talk about the concept of the Bene Gesserit planting religious stories and these various, like, old school hierarchy, all these, like, across the universe. Real quick while you talk about this, is this water life drinkable? Okay, great. All right, go on. Yeah, if you want to, honestly, that'd be great. Hi-yah! Hi-yah! Hi-yah!

Oh my God, my balls are turning blue. Tell me the fucking future, dude. You're going to die, man. I knew that. I knew it was going to happen. So they do a really good job of like, because Tim Thaisshamalum and Ding Dong is going like, oh, I'm not the Messiah, right? Because he doesn't want, he's trying to be

He's trying to be, what's his name? Who's the guy in Texas that everybody's trying to go, always going against Greg Abbott? Texas Frank. Who's the guy that Beto? Texas Pete. The hot sauce guy. Yeah. Timmy Shamalama Ding Dong is trying to make Paul like Beto. Okay. You remember from Texas, that guy that people like? Waco or what is his name? John, yeah. Beto? No, man. I don't know names. I'm just going to say fake names. Beto O'Rourke. That's the guy. Yeah, okay. He's trying to make him like super fair or whatever and being like, no, mommy.

no, the Ophemian must save themselves. Right? And she's just like, no, you're going to do as prophesied. Because she believes she, like, survives the water of life. Like, as we know, I'm not going into plot points because you guys fucking know the books at this point. I don't know what to tell you. But the Stilgar...

is played extremely well by Javier Bardem. Yeah. Stilgar is the one, like, I loved how they sort of did this mechanism about the prophecy and all of them kind of trying to figure out whether or not it's real, whether or not, like, Stilgar being the true believer and, like, the one moment of actual comedy in the entire movie is Stilgar's, which is great. Javier Bardem kind of comes onto his own in this because, like, in the first one, he kind of seemed more like a general... Mm-hmm.

guy, you know, like, because it's everybody who's, like, not white is in the Fremen's, you know what I mean? So, but the rest of them was like, he was great in this movie. But, and then also Zendaya, they used the Chani characters. One of the big changes that they did in Dune 2 was that they took the Chani character and they made it, like,

That's the ticking clock they call it sometimes, right? That's like a term they use in television where it's like there's a character that moves the plot along by coming into the room. I did it for Heroes Stillborn. I came in the room and I'd go like, guys, like everybody else had cool stuff to do. And I'd sit there all day doing nothing. And then I'd come at the end of the scene and go, guys, we got to get out of here. And that was like the only function I served. It was to end scenes or to like move plot along. And so Zendaya, it's a little bit of that because Zendaya,

She's always, you know, I feel like I might get a lot of hate mail for this, but wouldn't it be nice to see Zendaya smile? You know what I mean? Wouldn't it be nice to see her just have, she's got such a beautiful smile. You know, she's always frowning. It's a, she's a grimacer. She's great though. She's a great, wonderful actor. Like she's a, she's got screen presence. Like she is awesome to see. But you know what I mean? You know, as a guy, as a man, I just want to see that smile. Where's the smile? Yeah.

If I saw it on the street, I'd be like, come on, baby. Come on, baby. Give me a smile. Baby, what you so fucking say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just stab you in the neck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, just because I've gotten shit for this before, it is Zendaya, not Zendaya. Oh, yeah, I forget. And I know it's a dumb correction to give you. No, it's not. It's annoying to me. Well, I'm going to be saying it. I've already said it.

said it way too many times and I just was gonna I was like no good I'm glad you did this now I'm glad you corrected me after we've done 25 more positive things so instead of dying it's the day yeah but she's a wonderful actor and um but her job is to come in as now so for Chani Chani's the one that is like the doubting Thomas voice of the friend totally she also didn't have a lot in the part of the in the first movie and

in terms of what it covers in the book is not really much Chani in general so she didn't really I don't know how she would have been given more in the first movie we're going to get to the end of the movie but

I think that what they're hinting at, I'll talk one second to the ending. I think there's a hint of what they're trying to do with Johnny for the third film. But I love her position in this movie. Yes, they did a great job with her. Because she's trying to sort of like, she's the one grounding Paul. First, Paul's on the fence. Again, where Timothee Chalamet and Ding Dong really sings is that he comes in, he does the push and pull. That was weird when he really sings. He starts going, I am a friendly boy. Right in the worm's back.

I'm writing the worm. And that whole part is like, I'm Willy Wonka here to say, I like making chocolate every day. I was like, wow. I hated that rap sequence. Don't bring up Willy Wonka here.

I can't wait to see it. I want to see it. It's a Paddington director. I like musicals again. I didn't like Paddington. I like musicals. I didn't like Paddington. Thought that was fucking stupid. How? Thought it was stupid and dumb. Paddington 2? Yeah. Was great. Hated it. What about the porn parody?

That bear got fucked. There's a porn parody of Paddington? I'm sure there is. Fucking whoa. Yeah. Called Paddy Wagon. To get back to it. So now they are the next best part.

Which is, so we now see Chani. So they're all saying, oh, you know, the voice from outside, he is going to know the ways of the desert. Chani's teaching him the ways of the desert on the sly. She kind of loves Paul. He's got that fucking long down. Yeah. The two of them, like, they kind of fall in love. It's the little quiet ones, the little gangly quiet ones that have the big, big old look.

cocks yes yes but you know what's nice is that what's nice about the first seeing it the first time is that the second time i knew that the kissing scene that they do is when i could leave and go to the bathroom right and so that was like i was like thank you denise yeah this is exactly what i needed it's like it's i kind of feel like not that it's done on purpose but it kind of sort of feels like it's directly in the center of the movie when they kiss for the first time and it's when

All the dudes got up and go to the bathroom. Man, I... That was when I went to go take a piss. The piss I took when we watched it together was like 15 minutes. I know, Stilgar would have been mad at you. It was crazy how long. I was pissing that entire time. It was crazy. So then we need... So now Baron Harkonnen.

Beast Rabban. Beast Rabban. What Dave Bautista does in this movie is so fucking great. He freaks me. I mean, he's just so, yeah. He's so good. But he does this thing, which I loved what they did with Beast Rabban, that they made him weak. So he, in the first one, he's this frightening guy. He has that first scene where he bashes that guy's fucking head against the console, which was awesome, right? And then he shows, though, that like, oh, he's just like,

He's like not like he runs away at all the conflicts. He like runs away. Beast Rabban is in there. He's not doing the final fight. And then they introduce what I think is the sleeper best part of this entire movie. Soon to be my favorite actor. Fucking Austin Butler as Fade Rautha is fucking awesome.

Good. And then Rodney before... But the part where he was like, Hey, you can do anything on a record, but don't step on my blue suede shoe. I was going to say, if you don't know, he played Elvis in the movie Elvis. And he couldn't say he couldn't drop the accent. But then what he did, apparently, we talked a little bit when we did the David Dastmalchian interview, but it's fucking great, where he...

I guess, prepared a Stellan Skarsgård impression. Yes. So that he would sound like Stellan Skarsgård. Yeah, I saw this. And he was great. He surprised the director. He surprised Villalobos. And there was a couple moments where he said something. I was like, you know...

He just sounded like Billy Skarsgård. Like, he's like, he's so good at the thing where I was just like, is that Pennywise? And I was like, no, he's very scary. He's great. He does less than more, which is so much better than anything else. Again, super happy. They did the Lady Fenring plot.

Like, what am I— Also, finally Stellan Skarsgård gets to do something good. I feel— How do I say this? I feel like he was wasted in the movie. I feel like Baron Harkonnen wasn't really properly celebrated. But I'm glad that he did finally kill two people. Yeah. Not boys.

Yeah, they didn't really lean into the boy thing. No, everyone's fucking got me. I feel like that's so good because it's so scary. I didn't test well. I don't think people liked it. But then he. But it's upsetting. It makes me so villainous. Finally gave him the scene when Fade Rautha, they do the whole like the last two guys from the Atreides family. Fade Rautha is going to like fight them for his birthday. They go to Getty Prime, which is fucking awesome. Yeah, Getty Prime's rules. Blacks to blacks.

son. So cool. Like making everything black and white. I love the globule fireworks. Everybody did. I love a big messy sploogey firework. Um, but Baron Harkonnen, when he is looking down and he's just like, yes, now show me what you're made of. And he does this like little smile and he like sucks on his like little hookah thing was like,

And then I was like, that's awesome. I was like, that's Baron Harkonnen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's nailing it. And Lee Fenring gets fucking gooped in. Mm-hmm. That was also showed the power of the Bene Gesserit. I love all of the Bene Gesserit stuff in this movie. All the Bene Gesserit shit is probably my favorite shit. I think the Harkonnen shit was my favorite shit in the first movie. The Bene Gesserit stuff in this is so fantastically nailed. And like I said, psychedelic, but intense and dark. Denis Villeneuve.

knows Dune. Yes. He knows the books. I think at first, not that I was ever truly worried because he's a master filmmaker, but the first one you're like, okay, stylistically they kind of, I like the style and I like the vibe, but still it's like, you know, we got a lot of Dune to get to. That's kind of what it kind of felt. But when like,

Like, Dune 2, I was like, this guy fucking knows exactly what's going on. Because he does all of the biological, political stuff that the Bene Gesserit does. Like that scene with Lady Fenring being like, which is like, oh yeah, she got that cum. And then fucking Fade Rautha. That scene is great with Lady Fenring. And she's walking through the hallway and he's like,

all your loss. And then he comes behind her with the knife. Yeah, it's the minimalism of the dialogue meeting with the maximalism of the soundscape and visuals, right? So good. And that is working so well for me. And I think, again, not to keep shitting on Inception, something like Inception, but like, I almost...

Like my memory of the movie, there's no like, it's like if you had said to me that I'd like that, I'd say like, wow, there was only like three lines of dialogue in that entire movie. Wasn't that crazy? And I would have been like, yeah, that was like amazing. Like, and yet they're telling all of this story. You're getting all of it beautifully done.

It's completely clear. And then I love the trip to the South, all the stuff where Jessica is getting scary. I love Jessica getting scary, knowing that something scary is coming. We are starting to kind of feel this sort of icky feeling of maybe this holy war that Timothy Shamel and Ding Dong is talking about. Like, he does a good job with that. It's still more like, bring on the holy war, dude! Because I'm excited to see it, of course. Now, Fade Rautha, the attack on Sietch Tabir is great.

uh the uh i would say one of the weird things is uh i love the reveal of uh her being uh baron harkonnen's daughter yeah um well we wanted to talk a little bit of the fact that timothy shamalama ding dong fucking was roasting austin butler for his skincare routine yeah when it's like but if you look at that that's a lot of makeup and i know what it's like to add to put

things on every day like this and it does irritate your skin. Timothy, shamala, ding dong. And you get to go home. Thank you for not having an intense skincare routine as well, Timothy, because I don't buy it, first of all. Oh, I doubt it. Look at that fucking perfect, oh, I get it. Oh, I don't do anything. Because you're banging a Kardashian. How old is he now?

67. Yeah. It's crazy. Oh, he's 28 years old. 28. He's going to age out soon. He's going to be 28 again, but except for we were all puffy and chain-smoking cigarettes. I look like dog shit. We look probably at our worst at this time that he looks his best. Yes, he's doing very well, and he will continue to look good.

He will do well. And Kylie Jenner looks like she's 95 years old. She does look like... I don't know how that happens. I don't get it, but they get to look moody together. I guess that's really nice. Yeah, they get to... They both get to not eat together. They get to purse their lips together. Yeah, exactly. And smoke cigarettes at the Beyonce concert. Another great part about...

This movie. Wait, did I just say she soft-launched her breakup? Yeah, she said, I don't know. Fucking, I don't even know. I don't know. It means nothing. It means nothing. But I... Great... Another awesome factor of Dune 2 is with the unfortunate lack of Jason Momoa. Okay. You see how that sounds good? Is that a... It left room. Are you lying? Fuck.

for the incredible performance of Josh Brolin. Yes, he killed it. It left the room for it. They played the ballast set and everyone was like, oh yeah! When he pulled out the ballast set. I think that the whole movie should have because still, Gunner, Gurney Halleck is the guy that actually has the fucking, he has the older brother relationship with Paul. Yeah, he's like the badass

like jock older brother kind of and also he's great you know he does great in this movie I love the concept of him hating all the smugglers which they played really well and then Paul drinks the water of life

which is really great. Chani's forced into the prophecy, which everyone's mad about. She's super mad about, but what are you going to do? I feel that because like, I also like kind of like that push and pull, but it also, there is a little bit, one of my sort of pet peeves with any superhero movie is the like, I'm not going to be Batman. Right. I don't want to be Batman. And you're just being like, all right, now we got to spend the next 30 minutes convincing you. Yeah. It's just being like, where's the Batarangs?

Yeah. That's what I say. Exactly. Let's come with the fucking... Give me the toys. I want the toys, bro. Yeah, yeah. Where's the Batmobile, dude? I don't care about your bullshit. I want you to kick the Joker's ass, dude. Yeah, I just want to watch you lift weights for five minutes and then go... Yeah, what happened?

the old training montage. Where's the training montage? I don't need to be convinced of your emotional core. Actually, there was a bit of training montage in this. A little bit. A little bit. But there was no like, you know. Yeah, exactly. You can make it. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Motivational indie song. If you can't make it on Dune, can you make it anywhere? I want to sell me chocolates. I'm Willy Wonka. I can't believe I'm on the street.

I'm on this desert called Arrakis. He got Marcus dressed up as Willy Wonka for the makeover stream. And then he started doing this character that we realized it was Billy Wonka. Like he was going like, yeah, I'll fill you up. It was Billy Wonka, the candy landlord. Yeah, I'll fix you, garbage disposal. Or was it the unknown who the evil chocolate maker lives in the walls? I don't know if you're familiar with Willy's chocolate experience. Oh, yeah, we covered that a little bit on side stories. Yeah, it's very funny.

Now we got Anna Taylor-Joy spoiled as she's going to be Aaliyah. We'll see what that's going to head towards. You saw that in the future. I loved all this. I love the Southern...

And Fredman was really crazy. You know what they did great? Again, it's a lot of greats is the worm writing. They actually made it look dangerous and crazy. Of course. And they made it really, really like you have to nail the worm writing. I mean, isn't that the whole crux of the whole? I mean, the whole fucking thing relies on the worm writing being cool looking and crazy. It does. Right. It does in my mind.

I thought that they really showed how difficult it would be to write a worm. Even in the book, it's just like, oh, man.

It might happen, it might not happen the next 400 pages, but if they get on those fucking worms, bro, it's going to be crazy. They're going to worm it up now. And then they do it, and he describes it really well in the book, but yeah, if they had dropped the ball on that, it would have been crazy. Obviously, there's been a lot of attention on this trial, and I want to say I stand with the people that feel that the worm wranglers should be held accountable for the amount of worms that ate people alive.

on this set. And yeah, it might be the fault of some of the producers. I was going to say, also they're worm specialists. But what is the chain of command? Yeah. Right. What's the chain of ownership here if we're not... So if the worm wrangler isn't telling the actor that the worm is cold. Right.

How is the actor supposed to know that I'm going to ride this worm all the way into Eric Dean? And the teeth are supposed to be rubber, and they had real, actual sandworm teeth. They had the real knife of Shai Halud on set? Yeah. When I'm like, I feel like, how did it even get to set? And they didn't even check it. It was supposed to be made out of butter. It was supposed to be made out of cake. I feel like that's where the checks and balances system kind of fell apart. But hey, you know what it comes down to it? If you want to make worms look real, you're going to have to break a couple eggs, right? Up top.

Wait, why? I'm sorry. I brought you in on that. I brought you in on that. So, we'll get to the... What does eggs have to do with anything? Eggs. Don't you fucking worry. This is so... Hopefully, they're going to do well. So, wait, the worms lay eggs is what you're saying? It's a bit. Okay. It's a fucking bit. So, they lay eggs. Do you have to break the eggs to release the spice? You will never be able to face my legions of saduka! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Now, can you give me lottery numbers if you drink more of the water of life? 14 Z. I think I'm getting bad, bad, bad numbers here. Prophecies and abortion. So we go. So we get it, too. They bring Christopher Walken. So yada, yada, yada.

leads up to the best sequence of the movie. So at this point, truly, but that's what I was kind of saying before, where none of the movies, the movie's going for like two hours and 15 minutes. And I was just like, all right, he rides the worm. And I was like, oh no. Are they going to cut this off before? Are we going to have like, is Dune 3 going to be just this battle? Like, is that all it's going to be? That's what kind of thought it was going to do. But thankfully, I was like, they started picking up the pace. And the worm attack...

on to eric keane great fucking killer they show up cavalry shows up it was good everybody gets fucking murdered yeah and then um irulan comes in uh again a little moment that takes me out christopher walken shuffling into the throne room after they have taken him by who should have played him that that role

I feel like you can stunt cast it. You know who should have been, man? You know who really should have been if this was back in the day? If we could have done it? Santa Claus? Paul Reubens. Paul Reubens. Somebody like that. Like an aloof weirdo. Like maybe some other... Because Christopher Walken makes sense, unfortunately, 10 years ago. Yeah. You know what I mean? Where like he's a little...

Which I also kind of why I think why they did it is because you're supposed to kind of see that the Shaddam Emperor is kind of at the on his last legs and all this kind of ending. You got to get it. But they also but the Dune to degrade and explaining a little bit about the lands rod. They never said the term, but they kind of talked a little bit about that. Now, I really want to talk about my and then the fight between Fade Rautha and Timothy Shemalem and Ding Dong was really good.

These are my only. That was great. I've only one real gripe with the movie. After that, the stuff after that with the whole like sequence of. The only gripe I have is we've come this far and we've done so much doing.

and you're not going to have a baby kill Baron Harkonnen. Uh-huh. That's the only thing is that I miss having that. That is the best sequence upon rewatching the David Lynch's Dune. I just cackled. It's great. In that scene. You will have to face the revenge of my brother. And then she's like, that's my favorite. It is the absolutely trying to avoid the Darth Vader. No! No!

Like, we've done so well up to now. It's very serious. This is such a fucking risky move to try to have that happen, right? Yes. And it might have made the movie more talked about for years to come. I think so. But would it have given us another movie? Maybe not. Because even just the cuts to the embryo made people being like, this.

this is weird. Yeah. And you're like, this is Dune, bro. Wait till fucking the next two books where you have two five-year-old twins that talk with the minds of a million-year-old people. Yeah, exactly. We're not just sneaking into a base to steal a princess for the fucking 12th time. No, a baby kills

the main villain. Yeah. And it's incredible. And also, are we going to do the thing where he sees through the eyes of his child? Remember the end of Messiah? Like him seeing through the eyes of his child in order to kill Skytale? Are we going to see that? And this is kind of where I think that they're going to set things up a little differently for Dune 3. So now, at the very end, we now know. Yeah.

Paul is one. Paul is one. The good guy's one. And this is where we really see... Good guy? Question mark? Exactly. This is where Denis Villeneuve truly understands Dune. Because...

Do Messiah shows that, yes, if Luke Skywalker wins, eventually Luke Skywalker is going to be a sellout. Right. It's what happens as soon as you get. It's going to be a little bitch. You're just going to become the dictator that you so fought against. You're going to become dad. You're going to be. You're going to have to. We all do it. Yeah. I found myself the other day muttering under my own breath what my mother used to say, which is like, all I do is clean.

That's all you should say. All I do is clean. And I found myself saying that the other day. And you will find yourself doing the same.

Paul, uh, Shem, a llama ding dong, because you're going to end up becoming, he finally hints that, Oh, it actually might not be good that the prophecy has come to pass. Cause yes, now the treaties do have the power of Arrakis, but it ain't Duke Leto. That's got the power of Arrakis. It's Paul and Paul is nuts now. And so he does this great fight with fade Rautha. That was fucking, that was really good. Cause then he also did the thing you notice, uh,

He did the thing that Gurney does to him. Right. In the first movie where he gets stabbed in the shoulder, but he stabs him in the belly. Like it's the same move that Gurney does. So totally awesome. Cool. We didn't love when the lady Ghostbusters showed up, although that was a weird try a way to try to get that reboot to happen again. I was like, I don't think this is appropriate at all.

You know what I mean? Leslie Jones does like seven minute long improv. Yeah, quick talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was, it was unexpected. Totally bizarre. Yeah, I did feel, yeah, the Dune Lady Ghostbusters crossover is going to surprise some. Especially when they just kept going, make it happen. Can we make it happen? Can we make it happen? And then,

Another movie? Paul Feig comes out and he just talks about his grandchildren and how he hopes to build a legacy for them. And then Scorsese came out and was just like, Native Americans, we took the land. He said a whole thing about it. A weird new camera monologue. But he called me like, but not me, I'm Italian.

They broke the seventh wall. It was fucking crazy. That was crazy when they showed up behind us. That was fucking crazy. And everyone kept saying, no, this is still the movie. And I was like, man, this is crazy. But the end of Dune, I think is setting up. Because you remember how in Dune 2,

In Dune Messiah, the books. Yeah. Okay, yeah. They set up the... You have to specify. Yes. In Dune Messiah, the books, they specify that there are people that are rising against Paul. Like within the Fremen. Like they think that the Fremen is fractured. I think they're going to make Chani a light villain at the beginning where she's going to be...

like revolting against Paul, but then he does say in that scene, she'll get over it in time. So I do think that they do have to do the thing where she has babies. Cause that is the prophecy is that if she gives birth, she dies, which I think is a part of, cause that's supposed to be why he's so like, I think it's also interesting. Cause it also shows the priorities of Frank Herbert. Cause in the original dune, he's mostly just sad about how his wife's going to die.

And not about like, he does think about the billions of people that die in the holy war, but he's way more concerned that Chani's going to die. I read a really compelling article that was talking about how Villeneuve, Vinny, Vinny, Denny, I'll say Denny. He eats at Denny's and he's like, Hey, I'm Denny. You know, he tells the waiter or whatever. Anyways, you just got your French Canadian marriage badge taken from you. So I think that he, um,

from what I was reading, at least from what this person speculated, is that he was sliding stuff in his movie version more towards this whole concept of like making the whole thing about this like anti-white savior thing. Which is what the books are about. Where it's trying to be, it's trying to say. The whole point of the book.

books are to say the whole point of the books say John F. Kennedy is a fucking don't trust that guy it was the whole point of the books right it was like a charismatic pretty young you know person we are too quick to follow along with you know what they want to say especially somebody who says they're going to show up and wrap it all up and fix everything and all you got to do is storm that building all you got

It's actually way more than that. Storm that building. It's actually way more. But, you know, I think that is definitely what they're trying to do with this, and I love that, especially when he comes in and there's that Fremen football team, right? And they're really bad at football, and he comes in and he shows them how to be really good at football. First of all, we got to learn who's the flea flicker. But that's totally... I mean...

Flick the dick to the other. But genuinely, it's refreshing to see that because you see so much of just the white savior trope still happens. Of course. You have this uncomfortable ending instead of the ending where Chani's with Paul

and everybody's partying. They do a very, very good job. You get a sinking feeling. It's not an Ewok party at the end. It's a sad, upset feeling because of him putting his bone in that. Now, my question is, he won't put his bone in Florence. But having her around, at least she can look at it, but she can't. No touch. No touch. God, that's got to be hard. Now, what do you think next season?

Next season. That's what I'm saying. Next season on, yeah, on Dune. Do you think that they are going to have Skytale? Do you think we're going to have face dancers? They must be. Man, I hope so, man. Because remember, because like in the books, they're fucking weird. The face dancers are a completely, an incredibly important. But they're like a little like goblin guy.

Now, are they not more fundamental to the two children of Dune than Dune Messiah? Well, no, Dune Messiah, you remember, it starts with, like, the Reverend Mother, Reverend Mother Gaiam, Skytale, that's the face dancer that insinuates his end, and then it leads to the Gola, because they help facilitate the Gola Duncan Idaho to come to Paul, because that was the first thing that was supposed to betray him, was that if he tries to unlock...

Duncan Idaho's memories that then the Gola Duncan Idaho is going to kill him. Yeah. And then this is what we were talking about before of like, it just might be difficult to get Mahalo, Jason Momoa, do the metal-eyed, haunting, Ixian clone. He's going to have to take some Stella Adler classes. He might need to learn from Dave Bautista. Honestly. Dave Bautista. He reaches down deep into some kind of animal body.

I don't even, it's fucking amazing what he does. I don't, I believe that he's like not human. I believe that he's like an evolved, like a weird other type of. He's a great entity. He's a truly just a great performer. And then in guardians, he's like funny as shit. He understands comedy, comic timing. He's saying now though, he wants to get like, the only thing I will see is that he's saying now is because he's saying he wants to get more serious, which I do understand. He wants to do more serious stuff.

but he was great in Blade Runner too. Yeah. He was also, that was like one of the, honestly, the only part I really liked in Blade Runner 2049 was that whole sequence. I loved it. And I like Ryan Gosling in it. I just felt like Harrison Ford.

was too old. Ah. And everybody, one thing about Blade Runner 2049 too was that everyone else was in future clothes. Harrison Ford was in a t-shirt. I just don't think he was, yeah, I think he was just in this, he just was just collecting money. Yeah, they just had to do it. I mean, he's the, yeah, he's the walk-in experience of that movie. guys, this was like, I don't know, this was just, it's so good to be back. Dune 3, we're going to do this again, obviously.

Any final thoughts before we leave them? Yeah, I feel like if your name's Gary or Sam, you should see this movie. I think that...

you know, I want to try seeing it in different ways. I want to try to cut my dick off and see it or like eat a bunch of hot sauce and see it. Something like that. You know, coaching. Shouts to the Texas. What's his name? Uh, Bopert or whatever his name is. The guy who brought up earlier. Yeah. Greg Abbott. No, but she, yeah, I did see Beetlejuice the musical and, we did make a lot of jokes about how I was going to vape in front of a pregnant woman.

Did you do it? No, but we got pretty lit up, dude. Lexi and I did. It was good. It was good. Oh, yeah. Beetlejuice the musical is pretty refreshingly solid. You know what I mean? I know that we have too many of these licensed properties that we keep making musicals out of them. But also, Timothée's setting himself up for a pretty interesting project. I'm not bullshitting you here. He's proven himself to be able to star in a musical. He's proven himself to be able to star as Paul Atreides in Dune.

maybe some years down the line after they're completely done with this franchise and they want to revisit it with song. I think he'd be fucking great. I think you could bring back most of those guys. You'd probably have to replace like Johnny, whatever. I don't think Zendaya's got pipes. I, I don't know if she does. I, Timothée, my problem with Timothée singing, they're thin. Right. It's

It's very thin. Yeah, yeah. He does a version of the, what's it, the Rain Jumps and Roses. What's the song in it from Willy Wonka, the original? Oh, oh. The candy man. Well, the pure imagination. Yes, he sings that song. And he sounds like a computer singing. Like, he doesn't sound like a man singing. But, Timothy Shamel, I'm a ding dong. You have my Dune seal of approval. Ay-yah! Ah!

Blessed be. Blessed be. Blessed be the maker. I genuinely do want to say this. All bullshit and jokes aside, me being a constant piece of shit aside. I don't know how you do that, but that's fine. It is absolutely a movie. We saw this movie at 10.30 p.m. I now have a toddler. My bedtime is like 11. I mean, the movie started at my bedtime when I should be considering turning the lights out. We had had several drinks.

we also had much food thing eating at the Barney's Beanery. And it was bad, you know, not bad food, but it was bad for you. Yeah. It was not a, not a food that makes you be able to like get, get up with a pep in your step. Right. What else? What is food that's going to get you up in a pep in the step? But we're going to have salads at eight o'clock at Barney's Beanery. I only had, uh, on my person, uh, at that point, uh,

indica edibles. So I ate a bunch. I was, I wasn't a bunch, 20 milligrams of indica edibles. That's, that's a good amount for me. I'm, I like to keep the tolerance low, man. That movie did not feel like two hours and 45 minutes. It zips right past, man. I absolutely had a moment. We both did like closest to the end where we were like,

Just because it was 1.30 in the morning. Well, honestly, my main issue was that there was 45 minutes of trailers. Yes. 45 minutes.

Killing me. And they're not even sci-fi movies. Killing me. It's all just like Anne Hathaway. Twisters. Twisters is sci-fi. It's horse shit. It sounds like what you do to fat kids at camp. You apologize to Jackie right now. She's been looking forward to that movie. Do you know your sister wants to be a tornado chaser? That's always been what she wanted. She fucking. Only if a tornado was chasing her way in her fucking vagina. All right. She has multiple tornado tracking apps. Multiple. I just want to throw it out there. We're here in Los Angeles. Uh.

There are no tornadoes here. So, I will just say this movie was like a breeze. It was...

will absolutely suck you in. I am such a... Talk about superhero fatigue. I have over two hour movie fatigue. Oh, yeah, me too. And this did not feel like it. In Avatar 2, I went to the bathroom two times. Yeah. And I hid in the bathroom. I literally just sat on the toilet. I kept leaving. Can this be over? I kept... Tenet was the first movie I got to see in the theater after COVID. What's not exciting about... Pandemic. Hold on. What's not exciting about...

Tenet. I kept making up excuses to leave the theater. Yes. I made me miss smoking cigarettes. Avatar 2 made me miss smoking cigarettes. And I think more importantly than any of that, with how formulaic this shit in the theaters is, it is a massive Hollywood blockbuster that feels like a wholly unique experience. It's a real movie and it's dude,

Yeah, it's Dune, man. It is like our fucking current Shakespeare or whatever you want to call it. It is like our epic, beautiful, amazing shit, but done in a way that makes you go, fuck yeah, motherfucker. Yeah, bro. Yeah, man. That's my last final take. Henry, I leave it to you. See some Dune. Go buy David Lynch's Dune on DVD. Yeah. Bring him some money, okay? Because David Lynch needs it. He's going to be dead soon. Definitely the Sativa edibles for that one. Definitely. It slows. Yes.

And it is unfortunate the end of that film is not good. But the one thing that also I will say, you know what I do miss? Space Navigators. Yeah, that shit was good. I miss a little bit of the Navigators in this, but maybe we'll see some Navigators in Dude 3. I'm hoping. Please let me read for Beejaws. Didn't he, Villeneuve? That's what we're doing now? Now we're just doing requests to be in the movie? Mr. Villeneuve, I learned how to say your name.

Can you please just let me be Bee Jaws? I'll just be like a dumb Fremen that doesn't, you know. You're not going to be a Fremen. Oh, you don't think I can play a Fremen? I feel that. Oh, you don't think I can play? Oh, Woke Henry. Let's just say. Woke Henry doesn't think I can be a Fremen. Interesting. I don't. No, it's not the skin color. I think it's your body. Wow.

Because I don't know if you look like a man that can carefully and silently traipse along the desert. Okay, woke Henry fat shaming again. Wow. That's the opposite of woke. Interesting. I'm just saying that you need to, I'm just saying that you just don't, I don't know if I yet believe that you're one of the Fadaken. I could play Fangor Slimeskin.

Yeah, yeah, that's the friend who's not good at anything. You want to buy some of my socks? They got holes in them. Honestly, the reason why it's just, it'd be even worse to try to make him leave. Because just the racket he would do. I know, snake magic. He's called three worms already this morning. And it has been difficult, honestly, on all of us. Because we're going to keep catching these worms. So go check out Dune 2. Give them your money.

And tell them Last Podcast Network sent you. Yeah. It doesn't do anything. I mean, again, we don't get paid. Screamer Rudiners in the theater. Rudiners, rise up! Rise up, bitches! And so now, The Sleeper awakens! You're gonna die in 2029. It's all drinkin'. It's all drinkin'.
