This week Mary Hicks and Margari Hill drop in to talk all things DUNE. We focus on Dune Part 2 but also talk about the historical influences on Frank Herbert as he wrote Dune, along with how Dune influenced the science fiction and fantasy that came afterward. We talk about the parallels between the fictional universe and historical events, such as the Ottoman Empire and the interactions between European powers and Indigenous communities. We also get into the portrayal of whiteness in the film and the complexities of women's roles and agency within the narrative. We dive into the egalitarianism in the Fremen world and the infiltration of outside values. The depiction of female spirituality and the complexity of women characters are discussed. The casting and representation in the film, particularly in relation to Middle Eastern culture, are examined. Mary and Margari also touch on the historical resonances and sensitivity in the film. The difference between a cautionary tale and a hopeful vision is explored. This conversation is one of the best we've ever had on this podcast and I hope you like it.About our guests:Mary Hicks is a historian of the Black Atlantic, with a focus on transnational histories of race, slavery, capitalism, migration and the making of the early modern world. Her first book, Captive Cosmopolitans: Black Mariners and the World of South Atlantic Slavery, 1721-1835, reimagines the history of Portuguese exploration, colonization and oceanic commerce from the perspective of enslaved and freed black seamen laboring in the transatlantic slave trade. As the Atlantic world's first subaltern cosmopolitans, black mariners, she argues, were integral in forging a unique commercial culture that linked the politics, economies and people of Salvador da Bahia with those of the Bight of Benin.Margari Hill is the co-founder and Executive Director of Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (MuslimARC), a human rights education organization. She is also a freelance writer published in How We Fight White Supremacy (2018) Time, Huffington Post, and Al Jazeera English. She earned her master's degree in History of the Middle East and Islamic Africa from Stanford University in 2006. Her research includes transformations in Islamic education, colonial surveillance in Northern Nigeria, anti-colonial resistance among West Africans in Sudan during the early 20th century, interethnic relations in Muslim communities, anti-bias K-12 education, and the criminalization of Black Muslims. She is on the Advisory Council of Islam, Social Justice & Interreligious Engagement Program at the Union Theological Seminary. For her work, she has received numerous awards including the Council of American Islamic Relation's (CAIR) 2020 Muslim of the Year award, Khadija bint Khuwaylid Relief Foundation Lifetime Humanitarian award in 2019, the Big Heart Award in 2017, and MPAC's 2015 Change Maker Award. She has given talks and lectures in various universities and community centers throughout the country.
Homebrewing has been part of the game since its inception. Hell, the game itself is a homebrew of wargames! We've discussed homebrewing in previous episodes and articles, but a listener asks the question about how to homebrew magic items and monsters from well-known pop culture sources (like Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Universe.)In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss their top nine tips to pulling in objects and ideas from existing beloved pop culture properties and making them have the same level of gravitas as the book, series, or movie that they come from.1:00 A Rock and Roll DM Tour Story.2:05 A listener question about homebrewing monsters and items from The Cosmere by Brandon Sanderson from longtime listener Dr. DM, Jason.4:30 Tip #1: Scaling homebrew to the tier that your campaign is in, for leveling systems like 5e.5:30 Tip #2: Kitbashing from existing items, spells, monsters, etc. (like a Balor that turns into a demonic Bob Ross…)8:10 Tip #3: Ask yourself 2 questions. 1) What is the world you're pulling from? and, 2) How does the object, magic, or idea work in that world? 9:45 Tip #4: Benchmarking the magic, items, spells, etc. to what your players have and what the enemies have access to.12:45 Our experience with this when we crafted He-Man's Sword of Power for our Curse of Strahd campaign.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, the Spice must flow as Zach and Chris talk about David Lynch's Dune as we prepare ourselves for Dune: Part Two in theaters. Starring Kyle Maclachlan, in his film debut, as Paul Atreides, the movie attempts to condense Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic into just slightly over two hours instead of the luxury of two, almost three hour movies like Denis Villeneuve has had.The guys talk about how memorable Sting is despite not really doing anything, the disgusting, bumbling Harkonnens, giant space slugs, the super condensed final act, the constant whispering voiceover, battle pugs, and more. You can watch David Lynch's Dune on Max (which is also where you can see Dune: Part One if you need a refresher before Part Two).Next week the guys are talking about the Stephen King adaptation Children of the Corn as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

Dune, auch bekannt als Arrakis, ein unwirtlicher Wüstenplanet, eine von zahllosen Welten in dem unermesslichen Imperium der Menschheit. Heimat der Fremen und riesiger Sandwürmer, die die Wüstenmeere von Arrakis durchkreuzen. Eine Welt, deren Bedeutung so nichtig scheint - und doch ist Dune und seine Kontrolle wichtiger für das Reich der Menschen als jede andere Welt. Alles dank eine Substanz, die es im Universum nur hier zu finden gibt - die Spice-Melange. Spice ermöglicht die Menschheit zu interplanetarer Raumfahrt und ist Grundlage für die Reichtümer der großen Häuser. Wer das Spice kontrolliert, kontrolliert am Ende das Universum. Dune: Imperium bringt uns als Spielende nach Dune und lässt uns um die Vorherrschaft über den Wüstenplanet und damit das Spice ringen. Ein Deck-Builder mit Worker-Placement (oder umgekehrt) hat seiner Erscheinung 2020 viel Begeisterung ausgelöst und ist nun sogar zum Kennerspiel 2022 nominiert. Ob auch uns das Spiel so begeistert und was uns daran fasziniert - oder auch stört - diskutieren heute Olli und Dirk. Dirk führt uns durch die Folge. Viel Spaß und gut Brett!

Eight thousand years into the future, the most valuable commodity in the universe is the Spice Melange on the desert planet of Arrakis, otherwise known as “Dune.” Warring planets and factions will fight for control of it including the Houses of Atreides and Harkonnen – if this sounds familiar, that's because it is the basis for the story of “Dune” the seminal 1965 sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert AND it was also the basis for a 1984 movie directed by David Lynch. Well now, the talented French-Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve – the director of Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, and Arrival– has brought it back to the big screen and with a STACKED cast including Timothee Chalemet, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Zendaya, Jason Mamoa, along with several other notable actors. Let's see how this all translates to the big screen again, especially those sandworms!

On Thursday July 28th, 2016 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review and discuss Frank Herbert's 1965 science-fiction classic Dune from a magical (Hermetic) perspective and as a prophetic political allegory. Sci-Fi Writer Orson Scott Card wrote: "Remember that Herbert wrote Dune in the 1960s, before the first oil embargo, before any Islamist government was ever formed. Whether Dune had any causal influence on the rise of Al Qaeda, Herbert certainly did a superb job of predicting the rise and the power of such an ideology. The spice must flow, and so must the oil. So the political allegory is obvious but what about the hermetic magical aspect: in the 1960s when Herbert conceived Dune the big psycho-spiritual experience was LSD. Acid offered expansion of consciousness, instant enlightenment and for some, extension of consciousness. Soul travel. Hermes once wrote that one could go anywhere in the Universe instantly at the speed of thought. Some Eastern gurus had also declared that this was possible. So Frank Herbert's Spice Melange was conceived as a psychedelic agent that would enable astronaut navigators to warp space with the power of their minds -- and go anywhere in the galaxy mentally and physically. That is one Hermetic magical aspect. There is also a witchcraft cult that engages in genetic engineering, trying to breed a Demigod messiah who will launch a Jihad to conquer the galaxy. So if you'd like to consider the not so hidden inner meanings of this classic, tune in and we'll have a 21st century look back at Dune.
Paul's title of this episode is much better than "Paul's Urine Smells Like the Spice Melange on Planet Arrakis." Will discovers the terrible awesomeness of Rebecca Black's "Friday," since he's been living under a rock since the year 2000-and-fuck.
The First Episode continues and thus The Spice Melange as well. We must continue to do our part to keep the cogs moving. The Choamcast: The John Birch Society, Ron Paul, & True Believers. This is how it must be. Long live CHOAM.
In our last guest episode of the year, we finally check out the adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel Dune, released December 14th in 1984. It's the movie David Lynch doesn't want to be associated with, the movie that proved to studios that epic sci-fi's (that aren't Star Wars) don't make money, and the movie that launched Kyle MacLachlan's career. At least one good thing came out of it! We're joined by Jack McGorlick (Paul Noodle PhD. Candidate) to check it out. Follow the show!

Whether Dune had any causal influence on the rise of Al Qaeda, Herbert certainly did a superb job of predicting the rise and the power of such an ideology. The spice must flow, and so must the oil. So the political allegory is obvious but what about the hermetic magical aspect: in the 1960s when Herbert conceived Dune the big psycho-spiritual experience was LSD. Acid offered expansion of consciousness, instant enlightenment and for some, extension of consciousness. Soul travel. Hermes once wrote that one could go anywhere in the Universe instantly at the speed of thought. Some Eastern gurus had also declared that this was possible. So Frank Herbert's Spice Melange was conceived as a psychedelic agent that would enable astronaut navigators to warp space with the power of their minds -- and go anywhere in the galaxy mentally and physically. That is one Hermetic magical aspect. There is also a witchcraft cult that engages in genetic engineering, trying to breed a Demigod messiah who will launch a Jihad to conquer the galaxy. So if you'd like to consider the not so hidden inner meanings of this classic, tune in and we'll have a 21st century look back at Dune.

And all the while, the elves, dwarves and orcs watch them as they move closer and closer to danger.RECOMMENDATIONS: Jim recommends Trader Tales: Quarter Share by Nathan Lowell.
