Dune, or the Weirding Way (feat. Jake Tropila) (Patreon)

On a very special bonus episode of Marvelous!, we're talking Dune—no not that one, we're doing that next week on the public feed. Instead, we're joined by film critic and co-host of Optimism Vaccine Jake Tropila to celebrate the life and work of the late, great David Lynch by talking about the movie he never wanted to talk about ever. Dune 1984 was a notorious flop upon release, an incredibly flawed adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel crammed in 127 minutes from a director whose creativity should never in any circumstances be subjected to studio intervention. So how does it fare forty years later?
