DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to DUNE (Patreon)

What happens when you try to control your child's path in life?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright take a look at Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune and contrast Duke Leto's and Lady Jessica's approaches to parenting. Paul Atreides has some complicated relationships with his parents, dealing with intense expectations from his parents, control, some moments of positive and negative parenting, and a whole lot of sand. We talk about the importance of honoring your child's free will, how much we love Oscar Isaac, and geek out a bit about this sci-fi classic.
