Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Dune (2021) is the third effort to
adapt Frank Herbert’s landmark 1965 novel. After the first
cinematic attempt 1984 (too compressed) and a later mini-series
2000 (faithful but slow) failed to do justice to the source
material a different approach was needed. Is it possible to spoil a
55 year old story? Let’s just say the execution this time around
was clearly ambitious in regard to production … if not in
scope.
Halloween is a favorite holiday for the Regular Joe’s. This episode
they take time out to talk about some of their favorite costumes in
the distant, and not too distant past. Successes, failures, and
some ideas never fully realized. There’s also the usual Random
Topics and a round of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!
