About this episode

The latest and long-awaited adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel Dune is in theaters and it's epic in every sense. Vox’s film critic Alissa Wilkinson takes us back to previous takes on the tale and where they fell short. And Gizmodo’s Geo Dvorsky (@Dvorsky) explains why Dune's message feels especially relevant in 2021.
