Yo, what is going down everybody? Welcome to show me the Meaning Wivescrack's movie podcast.

0:08.0

Show me the spice, baby!

0:12.0

Yeah, let's get on that spice goodness. What up, I'm Austin Hayden. I'm joined by the show me the Meaning crew. We've got Raymond.

0:19.0

Uh, I was trying to think of a doing thing to say, but how's it going everybody?

0:23.0

Don't! Yeah, okay, and now we got Ryan.

0:26.0

What up, film fans!

0:28.0

And this week we're going to be talking about the film that everybody's talking about, the recently released Thumbwood.

0:33.0

Is it HBO Max and also theatrical Dune, right?

0:37.0

Now elsewhere in the world it hasn't been released yet. So some places you still got a couple weeks left, but it's common.

0:44.0

I'm sure you'll see it or you'll figure out a way to see it at some point.

So I guess we can talk about what the deal is with that since I know a lot of people have been confused about that.

1:26.0

But here is the elevator pitch for Dune. Dune is the long awaited blockbuster adaptation of Frank Herbert's beloved novel.

1:35.0

It's set far in the future where we're thrown smack dab in the middle of a cosmic battle over the precious spice resource that is only found on the planet.

1:44.0

I feel like this is going to be a long elevator, right?

1:47.0

The planet or Rockis and we follow Paul and his family as they are entrusted with governing Iraqis, the domestic resource and the locals.

1:55.0

That is the elevator pitch because we're not going to get too much into it more because we're going to start peeling, peeling things back as we get on.
