S1 E28 - 2 Grooms 1 Plot | DUNE (parts 1 & 2)
Welcome to episode 28 of 2 Grooms 1 Plot! A podcast where two life-long storytellers talk about stories!
Today, we broke down the most recent Sci-Fi blockbuster, Dune part 1 and part 2. Dune is based on the original novel written by Frank Herbert. The movies are both directed by Denis Villeneuve and star Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, and many MANY other stars. The story follows Paul Atreides (Chalamet) on the planet Arrakis. Arrakis is home to ‘spice’ - the universe’s most powerful product that makes interstellar travel possible. After being abandoned on Arrakis with his mother, the 2 join the Fremans (Bardem, Zendaya) to help stop the Harkonnen’s from coming to their planet and taking the spice, as well as discovering Paul’s calling as the prophet as a Bene Gesserit. There is SO MUCH that takes place across these 2 films that this description does it no justice. As always, we recommend checking out both these films before watching to truly understand the points that we make as they directly relate to the story (spoiler alert as always!)

Customer Reviews
This podcast is too sexy
Pavi and Colin are charismatic hosts that clearly have a passion for the films they’re discussing. The hosts are married which explains the conversational chemistry and dialectical flow that feels both natural and personal. They strike a balance between informative analysis and sheer entertainment, because they aren’t afraid to be critical in ways that make me think, “I felt the same way when I watched it the first time.” My mind is prone to wander, but they consistently maintain an engaging discussion that keeps me tuned in. Listening to this podcast feels like having a captivating conversation with friends who possess unique perspectives and narratives that provide an insight I might otherwise have missed. I also appreciate the diversity in the selection of film and media covered, which makes it easier for the casual listener. The podcast episodes vary from the niche films, like Fire Island, to the cult classics, like Legally Blonde. I’ve seen Legally Blonde a dozen times, but Pavi and Colin provide a news lens from which to evaluate the film. As someone who enjoys discussing films I have an appreciation for new takes and perspectives. 10/10, would bang.
