A generation unable to talk about art

“I enjoyed episode one. I had sampled other podcasts about Dune and this one seem to be the perfect fit. But then the contamination about cultural appropriation, the “white savior complex” and homophobia started. Apparently the lack of knowledge about religions, namely Islam and its history didn’t deter the podcasters to exhibit the mandatory cringe about the perceived insult to modern day Muslims. Even though the Fremen and Zensunnis are presented throughout the Dune saga in the most heroic and respectful way. About the white savior thing, disregarding that the action takes place thousands of years into tue future and races are ambiguous they go on about how problematic it is, after praising the fact that Dune is the "hero's journey". The hero frequently is an outsider! It was Lawrence of Arabia and the brits that helped the Arab upraising against the turks! Now you may feel it's problematic but it is an historical fact that the Brits helped the arabs in their fight against the Ottoman empire because their interests were alined. And finally the homophobia, so all homosexual characters (assuming thar the Baron is gay, though most probably is a sadistic psychopath ) have to be positive? Isn't that dehumanizing? If you are a dick that doesn't understand art and how complex reality is, don't talk about it in public.”Read full review »

“Amazing podcast from Haitch and Jason, DunePod has become one of my favorite podcasts about film. The episodes are about more than just the new Dune films, they dive into the back catalogue of sci-fi classics and B-movie greats. Make sure you add it into the rotation.”

“Loving this podcast, I found them through Jason Concepcion’s X-Ray Vision podcast and found it hilarious that these guys started a podcast about the new Dune movie and ended up having to fill dead air for over year since the pandemic delayed the movie release. But they have such a great way or...”Read full review »
