441 - Dune: The Unfilmable Novel
Dune is a 1965 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert, it has been described as 'unfilmable' but that hasn't stopped people from trying! Tune in to hear Dune (movie not novel) expert and friend of the show, AJ from Cult Popture explain its arduous (and ridiculous) journey from page to screen!
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 07:19 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
