The Dune Podcast

My conversation with @maktariarchitecture was truly captivating. We delved into her journey, defying early expectations during her upbringing by pursuing a creative professional life instead, leading her to studying architecture at @bartlettarchucl (2024 will be her fifth and final year of study). We explored her passion for @starwars and newfound love for @dunemovie, her exciting collaboration with @empiremagazine and @wbpictures / @legendary, and much more. A shared appreciation for 'Art Attack' and the importance of maintaining an eclectic and balanced perspective in a world of extremes was discovered, fast friendships were made, and an open horizon of future @topicarchives conversations looms for all involved.

On this episode, Julia and Albert unveil a new era for The Dune Podcast.

We, the whole worldwide Dune community, are in the desert of Arrakis together now — sheltered with and regrouping in Stilgar’s Sietch Tabr, alongside our heroes Chani (Zendaya), Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) — awaiting Part Two of our collective story to begin: meeting Irulan and Feyd, Jessica’s perilous Water of Life trial, and taking the fight to the Harkonnens, reclaiming Arrakis in the name of its Indigenous peoples. The next 3 episodes are also previewed, including, if schedules align, being joined by the mighty Greg Ruth himself (definitely check out his phenomenal work, both Dune and his other projects ), including episodes for Oscars predictions and reactions (Dune will pick up at least 5, but we’re manifesting 8, including Best Picture and Best Director for Denis ‘Filmer Of The Unfilmable’ Villeneuve ). In other words, it’s going to be a long, winding Maker-trail from here to Dune’s next chapter and beyond, including a photorealistic ‘Horizon Forbidden Arrakis’ style RPG title (looking at you, Guerrilla!) for us all, and there’s no better time than now — with new tidbits emerging regarding all Dune projects each week (thank you legacy guests Dune Info and Dune News Net for your ongoing coverage!) to burrow into our collective passion (Emilio!), curiosity and joy for this ever-deepening and expanding world, and seeing what the Spice reveals…

And of course, Hassan and Ralí (Secrets of Dune) are absolutely fated to one day take over the show for an episode (or more)…It, as they say, truly has begun.

The Spicedivers Julia, Marcus, Mark and producer Albert are joined by the excessively talented (and endearingly/admirably/straightforwardly positive) artist Citlali to discuss their impressions of the film: symbolism, analysis on cultural resonance and universality (mythical timelessness), idiosyncratic moments and much more.

“This film will change the face of cinema.” On our impromptu-recorded seventh episode, *everything* changed: the brilliant Julia,  aka ‘The Spice’ aka TwinPeaksCafe joined the Spicesifters crew — the show went fortnightly (episode 8 out August 22nd!) — and suddenly #SiftingTheSpice became a whopping 16-part series (from an initial 6, then 8), looking at both trailers *simultaneously*, in reference with one another, each ultimately enriching the other. Much joy and celebration is woven all throughout this one: a truly international, incredibly kindred meeting of pals (we miss you Hassan! Arrakis needs its venerated Iraqi representative, to make sure we’re correctly honouring Herbert’s Arabic source material), sharing what will one day be remembered (not just by us, but by history) as a very special night, with a certain magic in the air —a certain Spice on the wind — foretelling the soon-to-transpire changing of things…forever.

"To Core of Caladan!” For Part 2 of our Trailer Deconstruction sub-series “Sifting The Spice” — a two-hour discussion entitled ‘From Sea To Sand’ — hosts Emilio and Albert are joined by Marcus of the venerable Dune News Net (an all-encompassing, one-stop-destination for all Dune news) for a wide-ranging/in-depth/eclectic-tangent-filled discussion, breaking down Dune’s debut trailer from the 30 second mark to the 1 minute mark (3 minute trailer divided into six 30-second parts), and more importantly using each shot as a platform for launching new discussions on often-overlooked details, and even opening up the topic to the adjacent topics of spirituality, mindfulness, creativity and more. Enjoy!

Albert and Emilio are joined by Mark (DuneInfo) to discuss the first trailer for Denis Villeneuve's Dune. This is part 1 of a six-part sub-series "Sifting the Spice" where The Dune Podcast hosts go through Dune's 3-minute debut trailer 30 seconds at a time, using each shot to launch a conversation based on its contents - cinematography, creature/vehicle/costume design, script, themes, music, symbolism, performance, and many other topics. Previously unnoticed details will be highlighted through this in-depth, closer-lens analysis of the material, all with the aim of enhancing their (and the listener's) eventual experience of the film itself.
