Welcome to a new episode of The Book Report presented by The Millions! This week, Janet and Mike discuss Dune, both the Frank Herbert novel and the David Lynch film adaptation. They are not terribly impressed!
Discussed in this episode: Dune by Frank Herbert, Dune (dir. David Lynch), people sitting around tables talking about crap, sand worms, genre fiction, Kyle MacLachlan, the Kwisatz Haderach, Patrick Stewart, pugs.
Cut for time from this episode: about 45 minutes of Janet and Mike bitterly complaining about having to read this book and watch this movie, sharply negative comments about Sting’s acting ability or lack thereof, the increasingly uncomfortable look on Dean Stockwell’s face as he slowly realized that he signed up for this trainwreck of a movie, David Foster Wallace’s thoughts on Kyle MacLachlan.
