On today’s show we’re discussing all three movie and TV versions of the original sci-fi classic—Lynch’s Dune movie (1984), Sci-Fi Channel’s Frank Herbert’s Dune miniseries (2000), and Denis Villeneuve Dune: Part One (2021)—with wide-ranging questions from Garin, Johnny, Marcus, and Mark. Which of these adaptations is the most faithful to the source material?
