  • Dune
    Apr 15 2024

    The kids these days only know one Dune--well, I guess technically two Dune movies telling one story. But a select few of us older folks know there is a long history of Dune on film, on TV and yes even in book form! Even with that history, for a long, long time Dune barely registered on the pop culture meter and it certainly wasn't cool. Join Chris and Dave as they break down the history of this science fiction epic and try to figure out what is the best Dune.

I know I've told you about the coffee and cherry pie there, Diane. Still, there's something troubling about that town. Perhaps Two Middle Aged Guys can help me unravel the mystery of Twin Peaks. Oh, and Diane, fish does not go in a percolator."
