We're fully in the Sci Fi weeds this week! I've yet to see this version of Dune, it's been on my watchlist for a while.

I love Episode VII! Many people will claim there are some issues (especially misogynistic people, though they are thankfully a minority - most people who aren't fond of Episode VII base their opinion in rational thoughts), but I have no issues. I really, really enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to your reaction for this, and for the season finale of Loki! Prepare to have your mind blown as the true purpose of the TVA is revealed!

Well if you are sticking to the release timeline like you originally said the next thing up whether it be Movie or Cartoon was The Clone Wars. It came out 3 years after RotS. Force Awakens didn’t happen till 2015. But I guess you must mean just movie release timeline. I hope you circle back to that show or at the very least Rebels or you will miss out on vital characters that are introduced that play a BIG part in the live action shows like Mandalorian (for example).

Yeah! I mentioned it a few times before, I think to you as well! But when I say timeline release, I mean movie timeline. I will circle back to shows that I'm interested in since they are a huge commitment.

kaliwali

Ahhh yes! We are really soaking in this whole Sci-Fi era haha

Richard

Oh cool. You will connect well with The Force Awakens - young brunette female protagonist! Maybe now I can finally get into Dune. And Summertime vibes? Yes please.

Chris

Duuuuuune! One thing—you may already be aware, but some folks aren’t. Dune 1 and 2 are two parts to one story (ie, one book split in two)—not one full story and then its sequel. The book has a good break point, so it’s not too weird, but Dune 1 definitely is not a complete story on its own. Both parts crush it.

Daniel Watches

came for the Star Wars prequels - staying for Battlestar Galactica!

kaliwali

Ahh okay! Looks like I'll be jumping into Dune Part Two very soon then!

Russell Rutigliano

I have a really bad memory so you might have. Idc about any of the other SW cartoon shows but Clone Wars and Rebels are massively important (At least watching a few episodes of each, Don’t have to commit to the whole thing and it can be done after episode 9). Just so you get to see who some of these characters we’ve mentioned are before jumping into the live action shows like Mandolorian or BLANK (Leaving it blank cause you haven’t met the character yet).

Paul Wright

Very much enjoying BSG. Very interesting series. The Loki Season 1 Finale will blow your mind. Stay alert. Episode VII is my favorite of the sequel trilogy. I've never seen Dune before, either the OG or this remake, so this should be interesting.

Chris

That’s how I’d do it!

dune part 1 is amazing you're going to love it

Scott S

Great schedule this week, looking forward to all of it.

Robert da Spruce

Looks like a great week ahead! Especially looking forward to Dune! Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors

some people say the force awakens (or as i call it 'star wars: the ride, the movie' was not as bad and had potential. those people are completely wrong. its just as bad as the other two and had no potential or plan. the characters are all horrible, its just a redux member berries garbage bag that sets up nothing for a TRILOGY.

rubberkidney

i know i have been championing it but the original 2d clone wars is just movie length in its entirety, and its probably the only thing left worth watching, except maybe the first 2 seasons of mandalorian.

SultanOfSwing

Sequel trilogy will likely disappoint you. Rogue One was good though.

Chris Chatham

I'm glad you're sticking with Star Wars. Opinions are like sphincters when it comes to things from here. I assume you'll take a break at some point, but I hope you find a way to fit the animated features down the line. There are some amazing and touching moments. Dune, you're in for an experience.

Phil Stubblefield

Wow, Kali, another week, another grand slam! You know it's a good week when Loki is the weakest link... 😁 I'm *very* excited about Dune! As others have said, keep in mind that parts 1 and 2 are the two halves of a single story, analogously to the structure of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. From the perspective of literature, Dune is to science fiction what the LotR is to high fantasy: the gold standard against which much of the genre is measured. If you read the original 1965 book (and its many sequels), you'll see that the author, Frank Herbert, has crafted a world with tens of thousands of years of rich history, much as J. R. R. Tolkien did with the LotR universe. By necessity, the films can only hint at this treasure trove of social, political, and scientific backstory. I'm also so glad you're watching the Star Wars sequel trilogy! Even though it's my least favorite of the three trilogies, it still contains some great material. I love some characters and plot choices while *loathing* others, so I'm looking forward to seeing your opinions, which are always interesting and well thought out!

Nick

Dune is great! Denis Villenueve is one of the great directors of our time. It's a hard book to adapt and he did an awesome job. Some real, heavy-weight acting performances as well. In terms of pure film-making quality - it's some of the best that the Sci-Fi genre has to offer. Also fun tidbit - George Lucas was heavily inspired by Dune in Star Wars - will be fun for you to see some of the inspiration given you just went through the Star Wars journey. Looking forward to your Sequel trilogy reactions. You're going to find a whole host of opinions on them - I hope you find ways to enjoy them (or not enjoy them if that's your opinion) for what they are and don't feel too much noise in the comments. They are polarizing - and that's okay! I personally liked Episode 8 and didn't love for 7 and 9, but you'll find others who find Episode 8 the worst and loved 7. Ultimately these are all meant to be fun :)

I've actually never seen Dune, so I'm very excited now to watch it with you! Also really looking forward to seeing you jump into the new trilogy for Star Wars!

Fanchman

I think The Force Awakens is the best of the third trilogy, but I would have recommended watching Rogue One while the original trilogy is still fresh in your memory

Kristoffer

Kali just a qucik question, you prob already have watched the Batman Dark Knight Trilogy, (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises) But if you havent i would really love for you to watch them!

verdantdruid

OMG. I never knew Rogue One was released after Force Awakens. Whose dumb idea was that? Rogue One ties in with Episodes 1-6 seamlessly and ep7 Force Awakens might take away from this impact. Episodes 7-9 are very pretty and great lightsaber and CGI stuff. But boy, how I wish I'd never seen them! I regret it, but was inevitable. Can't wait till you get to Rogue One, oddly my favorite.

kaliwali

What! That's awesome to hear that George Lucas was inspired by Dune!! I know it was a Patreon Poll pick but feels like perfect timing jumping into that now!

kaliwali

I haven't seen any of the Batman films yet, but I do plan on fitting them in right after I catch up with the MCU timeline!

kaliwali

I've heard they are amazing movies, so I really can't wait to finally get into them!

Dude Longcouch

The first two are two of the greatest movies ever made. The third one... has issues, but still worth a watch. You can trust my opinion on this, just look at my avatar :p

Paul Wright

I'm primed with suggestions when you get into your DC Comics era on here( Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc.) Otherwise, I'm really looking forward to this week.
