The Dune Podcast: Impromptu Trailer Reaction

Although the “Spicesifters” were only due to return in August—for their ongoing long-form Dune movie analysis series—there was no way any of them would miss the opportunity to react to the breathtaking second trailer. This impromptu-recorded seventh episode features excited reactions, a laid-back discussion around how “this film will change the face of cinema”, and even some breaking news about the Dune: The Sisterhood TV show.

The Dune Podcast is one of our sister podcasts, that truly captures diversity of the international Dune fan community. Hosts Albert and Emilio—based in Australia and Argentina respectively—lead eclectic discussions around Dune, including ample tangents into adjacent topics. They’re regularly joined by Mark (DuneInfo) from the U.K. and Marcus (representing Dune News Net) in the U.S. First appearances are Julia (Twin Peaks Cafe) and Zinnia, respectively hailing from Poland and Italy.

Enjoy this podcast (68 minutes) in video or audio—both formats are available below. Note that, due to (justifiably) unbridled enthusiasm, this episode does include copious volumes of swearing.
