Amazing show

A mix of genres and guests, consistently likable hosts, a really fun hang. Come for the cheesy 80s dad movies, stay for the razor sharp analysis and AAA guests.

Corey Silva ,

Coen Brothers fan here

If you guys like Coen Brothers movies, then you’ll love the Fargo series on FX. There’s inspirations from all Coen movies weaved into the series along with the actors who have worked with the Coens previously. It’s top notch television.

Cool People Talking Nerd Stuff

There is no shortage of movie podcasts out there. The thing that makes the Dune Pod stand out is that the hosts and guests are the kind of people you want to hang out with. Like, if I met them in high school I would have spent all lunch hour needing out with them. Here’s the thing though - they actually seem cool. Not, like, pop-collared and varsity jacket cool. Cool as in they are super earnest and kind while they talk about movies and what not.
