You know, a wise man once said, never let a good crisis go to waste. Word. It's attributed to Winston Churchill, and I think beforehand Machiavelli or something like that. Okay. All right. And I think we could adapt that for the current times to say, never let a good culture war moment go to waste. Oh, we would never on this show. We would never on this show. And to be fair, our contemporaries also would never let a good culture war moment go to waste. Oh, we would never on this show. We would never on this show. And to be fair, our contemporaries also

would never let a good culture war moment go to waste. This is true. Dare I say we're reactionaries

0:27.4

when it comes to finding these culture war moments because they just, they stick out so much that

0:32.8

we just have to grab onto them. That's right. And you know, Ben Shapiro pretends to be a film buff. And a lot of people are

0:39.2

very excited about Dune Part 2. It was a really good movie. Fantastic movie. And Ben Shapiro reviewed

0:44.3

Dune Part 2. And he offered a pretty basic review saying it was a good movie, like the score and

0:48.9

the acting and stuff like that. But then he got around to saying that there's not a lot of politics

0:54.0

in the movie,

0:54.6

but the one bit of politics is actually that the movie is very pro-life.

0:58.5

See, that was Ben Shapiro's take, which is funny because first of all, Dune is incredibly political.

1:04.5

Yes. All of it is politics. And also, the movie is not pro-life at all.

1:09.0

The way it maps itself onto so many conflicts,

1:12.8

like from its inception in literally 1965, all the way up until now, the way that it has managed

1:17.5

to stay relevant when it comes to geopolitical events that have happened, colonization, the ilk.

1:23.2

Yeah, it is an incredibly political work. And this guy said, oh, no, well, they showed a fetus.

1:29.5

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:30.0

So, spoiler warning.

1:31.1

If you haven't seen Dune Part 2 yet, we're going to briefly talk about it and probably some stuff that happens later on in the novel series. So if you don't know about it and you don't want to know about it yet, you could skip. but the idea that Ben Shapiro has is that I guess because there's a fetus that one of the main

1:46.3

characters talks to consistently this means that it's a pro-life movie first of all just having a

1:53.0

fetus in a movie or just like somebody being pregnant with a fetus doesn't imply pro-life because

1:59.0

pro-choice isn't nobody gets to have a baby?

2:01.8

Yeah.
