The Film Colossus Podcast | Episode 54: David Lynch's Dune

In this episode of the Film Colossus Podcast, we celebrate Dune—no, not that Dune. We’re talking about that old polarizing one that David Lynch directed. We discuss everything that’s keeping 1984’s Dune from achieving Frank Herbert’s ultimate intent with the novel, as well as the idiosyncrasies that allow Lynch’s existential tale about the self to shine in enigmatic, bizarrely beautiful ways.
