Podcasts about Dune

We're inventing idioms on the Ask A Sub podcast once again, and this time we're talking about how to balance a desire for a long-term relationship with sorting out kink compatibility. We also talk about how easy 'easy' is supposed to be, prioritizing your priorities, and how to go to the tide pools and come out with the exact pufferfish you want. It makes sense if you listen, we swear!!

DIDN'T EXPECT THAT CAMEO! Fallout Season 2 Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order FALLOUT Season 2, Episode 5 Reaction:    • FALLOUT SEASON 2 EPISODE 5 REACTION –EVERY...   Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Greg Alba & Michael Tessler react to Fallout Season 2, Episode 6, as Prime Video's adaptation of the iconic video game franchise pushes deeper into its darkest moral territory yet. With loyalties unraveling and past sins catching up to the present, this episode balances shocking revelations with character-driven tension across multiple timelines. The episode centers on Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell – Yellowjackets, Army of the Dead) coming face-to-face with her father Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan – Twin Peaks, Dune), whose chilling calm masks a grand, deeply warped vision for the wasteland. Hank unveils an army of mind-controlled former raiders—once violent criminals, now eerily compliant followers—forcing Lucy to confront the reality of his genocidal logic and twisted sense of “peace.” Their reunion is loaded with emotional weight, underscoring one of the show's core themes: whether civilization can truly be rebuilt without repeating the worst atrocities of the past. Meanwhile, The Ghoul / Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins – Justified, The Hateful Eight) inches closer to becoming feral as his injuries worsen, relying on fading memories of his wife and daughter to retain his humanity. His storyline takes a surreal turn when a mysterious Super Mutant intervenes, offering both physical rescue and unsettling questions about survival and identity in the wasteland. These sequences stand out for their grim intensity and tragic introspection, further cementing the Ghoul as one of the series' most compelling figures. The episode also jumps back to 2077, where a devastating truth comes to light and a new shadowy puppet master is revealed—one whose unseen decisions ripple outward toward nuclear annihilation. This revelation reframes the origins of the apocalypse, tying corporate ambition and moral cowardice directly to the end of the world. With its intercut timelines, mounting dread, and ethical confrontations, Episode 6 positions Fallout Season 2 for a brutal, philosophy-driven endgame.

This week on the podcast, the focus is small — not quite "number of women on this eleven-person team" small, but small — because we're watching the Uchū Sentai Kyuranger episode "Space.11: Three Kyutama to Save The Universe"! What surprisingly logical reason does Big Boss Dragon have for looking into legends? Is Lucky finally on the receiving end of what we've been hoping for him? And — why not do the Dune? The answers to these questions (and more!) await, on this episode of the Ranger Danger Kyuranger podcast!

Episode Summary In this blockbuster episode of Geek Freaks, Squeaks, Frank, and Thomas dive into the massive shakeup at Lucasfilm. We discuss the breaking news of Kathleen Kennedy stepping down and what the new leadership duo of Dave Filoni and Lin-Wen Brennan means for the future of Star Wars. We also roll out our "We're So Back vs. Stuck" segment, analyzing why Dune is the current heavyweight champion of cinema while franchises like Star Trek and Jurassic World are struggling. Plus, we react to Sophie Turner being cast as Lara Croft, give our first impressions of the new tone in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and break down a mind-bending MCU time code theory.

Westeros Gets a New Voice: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (The Hedge Knight) moves away from the heavy political drama of House of the Dragon to introduce a refreshing, almost comedic tone. MCU Hidden Clues: Fans have identified time codes in recent Marvel teasers that appear to sync perfectly with the Ancient One's multiverse explanation in Endgame, suggesting a massive "reboot" or "multiverse" event is imminent. The Dune Standard: The crew agrees that Dune has replaced Avatar as the definitive "must-see" theatrical experience of the decade. Quotes "We have two Star Wars fans that are making Star Wars now. That feels good to me." — Speaker 3 "I think [Dune] is the undisputed heavyweight right now. The energy's right." — Speaker 1 "It's good to be in Westeros again... just the beautiful panning shots and the dirtiness of the fairground." — Speaker 3 Call to Action Love the show?

Mark Mangini is a six-time Oscar-nominated, two-time Oscar-winning Sound Designer. He won his Oscars for Dune and Mad Max Fury Road. Mark's also well known for designing sound for numerous films, including: Blade Runner 2049, Star Treks I, IV and V, Beauty and the Beast, TheFifthElement, Space Jam, Poltergeist,Gremlins, Aladdin, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, among many more.Mark has spent his 49-year career in Hollywood imagining and composing altered sonic realities for motion pictures. He's a frequent lecturer, an outspoken proponent for sound as art, and a guitarist/songwriter with compositions that can be heard in sex, lies and videotape, Star Trek IV, and more.Mark believes that all organized sound is music. He sees his work in movies as every bit a composition as those of Beethoven and the Beatles. He just happens to use dissonance, melodic content and arrhythmia to its fullest advantage. His work is no less considered, designed, created or manipulated. It just isn't usually what we think of as hummable.His first job in the entertainment industry was at the age of 19 in the sound department of Hanna Barbera Studios making funny noises for children's cartoons. His ears have been keenly trained by years of language study and playing guitar, which suited him well for a career of critical listening and creating unimagined aural worlds and fabricating sonic realities for motion pictures.Mark founded and ran the successful post-production sound company, Weddington Productions, for 25 years. Today he works at Formosa Group in Hollywood, continuing his work as a Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer and Re-recording mixer.

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down some of the biggest movie and TV headlines making waves across Hollywood and fandom. We start with an update on Dune: Part Three, as new reports indicate the film's release date is not moving despite speculation. What does this mean for the future of the franchise and Warner Bros.' long-term plans? Kathleen Kennedy also makes headlines with bold comments about the future of Indiana Jones, stating the iconic series will "never be done." We discuss what that could mean for Lucasfilm, legacy characters, and audience fatigue. Meanwhile, Zootopia 2 continues its incredible run by setting a global box-office record, raising questions about Disney animation, sequels, and what audiences are really showing up for. We also dive into comments from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on shrinking attention spans and how modern audiences consume movies in the streaming era. Finally, we take a look at the latest trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which teases what's still to come this season and how it connects to the larger Game of Thrones universe. Join Kristian Harloff and the panel as they break it all down, share insights, and debate what these stories mean for the future of movies and television.

The movie world just got its own Barbenheimer moment — and this time it's Dune vs Marvel. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian Harloff and the crew break down the internet-breaking DUNESDAY showdown as Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday appear headed for a massive box-office collision. With Timothée Chalamet and Robert Downey Jr. both breaking their silence on the hype, we analyze what this head-to-head really means for Hollywood. Can Denis Villeneuve's epic sci-fi saga go toe-to-toe with the MCU's biggest event since Endgame, or will Avengers: Doomsday dominate theaters worldwide? We also unpack how the Avengers directors are positioning the latest sneak peeks as clues, not teasers or trailers, and what that might mean for the future of the MCU. In other entertainment news, Scott Cooper is setting his sights on a dramatic take on the Roswell UFO incident, promising a new spectacle in sci-fi cinema. From game adaptations, Ryan Hurst has officially been cast as Kratos in the live-action God of War project — and we break down what that casting choice means for fans. On the streaming front, Paramount+ is set to increase its subscription prices beginning January 15, 2026, just days before the streamer debuts the first UFC numbered event under its new broadcast deal with UFC at UFC 324 — raising fees on both monthly and annual plans as it becomes the exclusive home for UFC content. From franchise box-office warfare to streaming shakeups, blockbuster film debate, and game-to-screen casting news, this episode is packed with everything shaping the future of entertainment.

La continuación de los legadosEn este episodio especial de Monjes Fanáticos abordamos una pregunta clave para los amantes de la literatura fantástica y la ciencia ficción: ¿qué ocurre cuando una gran saga continúa sin su creador original?Analizamos cómo universos fundamentales como El Señor de los Anillos, Dune y La Rueda del Tiempo han sido prolongados y reinterpretados por hijos, herederos literarios y otros escritores, enfrentando el enorme desafío de respetar la visión original mientras intentan mantener viva la saga para nuevas generaciones.También exploramos el caso particular de Stephen King, cuyo legado literario se expande en el estilo de su hijo Joe Hill, también una forma de seguir el legado de un Universo conectado.Un episodio para debatir si estas continuaciones enriquecen los mundos originales o si el peso del legado termina siendo una carga creativa imposible de sostener.Cuando el autor se va, pero la historia continúa.

Art joins Robbie in the studio for the first podcast recorded in 2026! Hopeful news starts our Geeks of the Week: Evangeline Lilly announces plans for improvement following a fall that left her with brain damage. Billy Joel appeared with a tribute band in Florida after his brain disorder caused him to cancel shows. Wishing both continued healing. Robbie shared that the Hulu app would soon be integrated into the Disney app. Is this a harbinger of things to come with other mega apps? After the break, the guys discuss the upcoming slate of Marvel projects, various movies and shows that lead up to Doomsday, a film that should be the biggest Marvel event since Endgame. Familiar faces are back, and it could be a tough time for Dune 3, which launches the same day, unless fans make it a Dunesday double feature

Tim and Frank ring in 2026 with a thoughtful discussion about movies that get split into parts. Is it ever worth it? From Wicked to The Hobbit to Dune and beyond, the geeks debate when splitting a story works, when it absolutely doesn't, and whether any of it is really about art in the first place. Cheers!

The “iPS New Year's 2026” broadcast, recorded on December 31, 2025, serves as both a retrospective of the “systemic fakery” of 2025 and a strategic roadmap for the “Off-World Stage” community in 2026. The host characterizes the current era as a “soft totalitarianism” where history is manufactured and performed for a “visually illiterate” public.List of Topics2025 PSYOP Retrospective:The Drone Panic: A January “gullibility test” where mysterious sightings in New Jersey were dismissed as airplanes and the planet Venus.The Charlie Kirk “Death” Event: Analyzed as a staged psychological operation with “hoax indicators,” including the “death tent” at America Fest and the subsequent “necromancy” in evangelical churches.Psycho Stew vs. Raja Jackson: A “kayfabe” body slam event that was racialized by influencers to stoke tension.The Stabbing of Austin Metcalfe: Linked to the movie Sinners and described as an attempt to create a “white Trayvon Martin”.School Shooting Archetypes: A discussion on how shooters are now portrayed as “left-wing” or “satanic nazi trans witches” to target specific demographics.Dick Cheney's Death: Described as a “Viking funeral” coded with 9/11 references (e.g., dying on the anniversary of the One World Trade Tower opening).Media Theory and the “Meta Script”:Predictive Programming: The use of films like Oppenheimer, Fallout, and Dune to saturate the zeitgeist before real-world events.“Off-World Stage” Perspective: A framework independent of the “media duopoly” (mainstream and alternative) that seeks to deconstruct the “collective Truman Show”.Religion as Government: The view that mainstream religion is a “branch of government” used for “mind control” and to keep the “soul” compartmentalized from psychology.2026 Objectives:The Great Deconstruction: A planned project to create a 100-year timeline of staged history from 1926 to 2026.Publishing and Networking: Production of the iPS tabloid, short eBooks on world stage actors (like Elon Musk), and the expansion of PSYOP trading cards.Technological Shifts: Leveraging AI agents for “press releases” and the potential reboot of the parody cartoon “South Pole”.2026 Predictions:Expected “fake” events include nuclear/EMP threats, elite bunker narratives, blackouts, and a “fake alien invasion” connected to upcoming films.5 Key Quotes“My one resolution... for new year's eve is to no longer tolerate bad conspiracy theories that are actually mislabeled as even theories... it all comes down to religion.”“2026 is going to be fake AF. Every single psyop we are going to experience in the next year is already planned already scheduled it's on a program that we're not privy to...”“If you're scared, you lost. That's the game. If you're scared, you lost. ... Fear is the mind killer.”“They are not mad they are trained to believe not to know belief can be manipulated but knowledge is dangerous...”“We are fomenting a culture of disbelief on purpose. And believers, it's not that they're not welcome here, but they don't have a place here.”Understanding the “Off-World Stage” perspective is like learning to see the projector beam in a dark movie theater; once you stop focusing on the film's plot and notice the machine behind it, the “story” loses its power to frighten or control you.

Episode Summary Frank and Jonathan are officially back for 2026 after a hectic but fun holiday break, including the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party and a little self-awareness about how often podcasters say "you know." From there, they hand out their personal "best of 2025" picks across movies, TV, superhero projects, and games, plus run through the community poll winners. Then it's full speed into 2026 hype: a family-friendly movie calendar, the big "adult list" blockbusters (including the absolute chaos of Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 landing the same day), and the TV slate they're most excited to keep on the radar. They close with a spoiler-heavy talk on the Stranger Things finale and what the show stuck the landing on, especially character growth, the goodbye energy, and how cinematic the final battles felt. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome back, holiday break recap, and the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party 01:45 "Best of 2025" picks: movies, TV, and what surprised them 04:26 Superhero movie and superhero show poll results (plus some spicy takes) 10:16 Game of the year voting and falling back on comfort games 11:38 Best villain debate and why Pennywise took over the conversation 14:50 2026 family movie calendar (kid-friendly theater picks) 20:22 2026 blockbuster calendar: 28 Years Later, Project Hail Mary, Ready or Not 2, and more 26:43 The "event day" problem: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 on the same date 28:22 2026 TV hype: The Boys, Game of Thrones spin-offs, Star Trek, One Piece, Lanterns, and more 38:46 Stranger Things finale review: the goodbye, the battle, and what hit hardest 47:15 Dungeons and Dragons sidebar and why they need binders like Stranger Things 50:01 "Most cinematic finale" talk and the Abyss/Dimension X discussion Key Takeaways Sinners was Frank's clear movie of 2025, with major praise for the craft and the left-turn genre surprise. Superman won the community superhero movie vote, but Thunderbolts got real respect for performances and exceeding expectations. Andor is still the "tell your friends they're missing out" show, even if Stranger Things owned the bigger pop culture moment. The superhero show vote was tight, and the conversation around Daredevil: Born Again came with real critiques about structure and payoff. 2026 is stacked across both "take your kid to the movies" picks and big-ticket IMAX events. Stranger Things earned its goodbye, especially by bringing the focus back to friendship, growing up, and the reality that life moves on. Memorable Quotes "You realize how much you say 'you know' when you're podcasting." "It felt like a finale divided in two." "This is about friends and not just this big brand fight." "Don't let Disney brush it off. Watch it and enjoy this fresh idea from Marvel." "As much as they're saying bye to each other, they're saying bye to us as well." Poll and Discussion Highlights Mentioned Best superhero movie vote: Superman took the top spot (with Thunderbolts close behind in their personal debate). Best superhero show vote: Daredevil: Born Again edged out Peacemaker in a near tie. Game of the year vote: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 came out on top. Best villain talk: Pennywise (Welcome to Derry) dominated the conversation, with shout-outs to other standouts.

With the Nerds between shows to watch, the Trailer Park takes center stage this week as the guys take a look at the latest, including trailers for Cold Storage, Madden, Apex, and The Odyssey. Did Paramount make a mistake by pulling its upcoming animated movie, The Last Airbender, from theatrical release and releasing it directly on Paramount+? In addition to all the news involving a pending WB merger, is the company making yet another mistake by opting to keep Dune 3 in its current release window to go head-to-head with Avengers: Doomsday? Or might this represent a rare opportunity for fans of both franchises to spend a very long day in the theater? Speaking of Doomsday, the guys lament that AI has created some very realistic deep fakes this past week that have duped even the nerdiest of Nerds.

Blackout Podcast Episode 349: Double A - DJ / Founder, Modus Music GroupDouble A first made his mark as a pioneering drum and bass DJ in Montreal's underground scene in the early 1990s. Over the next decade, he toured extensively across North America and around the globe—from Cape Town to Tokyo, Los Angeles to Toronto. Alongside longtime DJ partner Twist, he co-founded Dune and Nude Recordings, two influential Montreal-based labels that helped shape the city's electronic music landscape.With a string of releases and remixes to his name, Double A shifted gears in the early 2000s, stepping away from drum and bass to embrace open-format DJing. On Canada's East Coast, he became known for producing some of the region's longest-running monthly events, earning a reputation for his genre-spanning sets and dynamic crowd connection.After several years in the U.S., Double A is now based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he continues to push musical boundaries with his digital sets while also staying rooted in his love of vinyl. He's deep into collecting 45s and runs his own 7" imprint, Mountain 45s. His productions have landed on respected labels like Private Stock Records, Heat Rock, Fridays Funky 45s, and Eastside Edits.Known for his eclectic and high-energy sets, Double A seamlessly blends genres whether playing digitally or all-vinyl. He's not chasing rare collectibles or trying to impress crate-diggers—just delivering pure dance floor fire. All fun. All the time. Check him out @modusmusicgroup

Lewis to Luka Dončić: Celebrating Joy in Unexpected Places   On this Christmas-season Good Faith episode, host Curtis Chang welcomes back "founding friend" David French to showcase how he can give thanks in all circumstances even amid a depressing news cycle. Through five surprising "gratitudes" (from Dune and Luka Dončić to family healing and C.S. Lewis), the conversation offers a timely guide to cultivating Christian joy, resilience, and hope in anxious times. French shares why his hope isn't rooted in a "five-point plan," but in the character of God and the "light and high beauty" that can break through dark moments—even illustrated by a powerful story of forgiveness after a Michigan church shooting.   (00:02:22) - Living with Tension: Blessings and Challenges (00:05:11) - Practicing Cheerfulness and Gratitude (00:08:52) - #5: Anticipating Dune Part Three & the importance of joy and fun.

The story goes that Wolfgang Pauli, who first proposed the existence of neutrinos, was embarrassed to have done so, as it was considered uncouth to hypothesize new particles that could not be detected. Modern physicists have no such scruples, of course, but more importantly neutrinos turn out to be very detectable, given sufficient resources and experimental technique. I talk with neutrino physicist Ryan Patterson about what current and upcoming experiments teach us about neutrinos themselves, as well as implications for dark matter and why there are more particles than antiparticles in the universe.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/12/08/228-ryan-patterson-on-the-physics-of-neutrinos/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Ryan Patterson received his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University.
