The “Spicesifters” may have been on hiatus for awhile, however now it’s time… for a special podcast episode to discuss their impressions of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One. The team discusses the movie’s cultural resonance, symbolism, favorite scenes, and more insights from recent crew interviews. We also explore some beautiful artwork, and creative processes behind those, inspired by the film’s rich visuals.
