Yeah can I get uhhhhhhhhhh eighth of spice delivered to Ridgewood, Queens? The Ghost Kino Cultural Vanguard goes in on David Lynch’s 1984 flop Dune in a split-vote roundtable that answers once and for all — is this film actually good? (Two nays, one yay). Along the way we talk about real world parallels (Iraq, Afghanistan, the CIA, the USSR, petrostates, that sort of thing) that were obvious influences to Frank Herbert’s source material, Kyle MacLachlan’s Messianic role in saving this film from becoming space trash, bad Arabic pronunciations, the CIA (again) and more. Spice is just LSD that powers your car btw.
