Episode #721: Dune (1984, W❤️M) (Patreon)

“Oh, man, Patrick Stewart’s saying ‘love play’…” - Andrew

On this month’s We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about the under-seen, under-appreciated David Lynch-directed sci-fi adventure, Dune! What are the odds Lynch and the production were in deep to the mafia on this one? Were movie theaters really handing out tiny glossaries for the uninitiated? Where is that darn four-hour cut, Universal? And how fantastic is Patrick Stewart’s skullet? PLUS: A series of David Lynch casting call blunders!

Dune stars Kyle MacLachlan, Virginia Madsen, Richard Jordan, Brad Dourif, Francesca Annis, Jose Ferrer, Linda Hunt, Freddie Jones, Everett McGill, Kenneth McMillan, Jack Nance, Jürgen Prochnow, Sting, Dean Stockwell, Max von Sydow, Alicia Witt, Sean Young, and Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck; directed by David Lynch.
