Welcome to Arrakis!
Pop Break’s editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin hosts the long-awaited Dune episode of The Socially Distanced Podcast.
This week, co-host Al Mannarino is on vacation, so Bill is joined by the person who wanted this podcast to happen more than anyone alive — Alisha Weinberger aka The Duncan Idaho of The Pop Break (aka The Social Media Editor). She discusses how Dune is literally just a metaphor for LSD and it’s wild, folks.
Making their debut on Socially Distanced is a man that is no stranger to the Pop Break podcasting world — Wrestling Editor, photographer and writer Murjani Rawls (of Substream Magazine).
In the episode the trio discuss…
- Their history with the source material — the book, the David Lynch film, the STAZ series
- The best Dennis Villeneuve film
- Hans Zimmer’s score
- The special effects
- Watching the film in theaters vs. streaming
- The box office success of the film despite a simultaneous theaterical release
- Timothee Chalamet’s performance
- The most under-utilized cast member
- Spicy memes (pun intended)
- The best performance
- Would they have sat through four hours of Dune
- Did the film end in a satisfying manner
- And more!
