1. Book Club: Dune Messiah (pg 50–99)

   2 november 2026 · 1 uur 19 min

   Afspelen
   In Dune Messiah, Paul Atreides receives a dangerous gift: Hayt, a Tleilaxu ghola of Duncan Idaho. Abu and Leo cover pages 50 to 99 of Dune Messiah and take a listener's question about why Paul couldn't simply call off the jihad. Lees meer

   Scytale's visit to Farok, a retired jihad commander, turns sinister, though not before the old Fremen describes standing in a sea for the first time. In the Imperial council, Irulan tries the Voice on her husband and Paul explains to Stilgar why he cannot simply look for Tupile. The takeaways dig into Muad'Dib as a living god and the echoes of Duke Leto in his son, and the spice morsels cover face dancers and the rumor that Tleilaxu eyes enslave the people who wear them.

   This episode contains NO SPOILERS beyond the books and pages covered thus far.

3. Dune: Part Three Final Trailer Breakdown

   29 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 6 min

   Afspelen
   The final trailer for Dune: Part Three is out, and this emergency episode breaks it down shot by shot. Abu and Leo pull apart what they see as deliberate misdirection in Denis Villeneuve's marketing and trade theories on what the trailer actually gives away. Lees meer

   It opens on Paul using the Voice to break Irulan, which Abu reads as a sign that Edric's ability to block prescience will matter far more on screen than it does in Dune Messiah. A red headband spotted puts a teenage Leto II and Ghanima at Chani's desert meeting with Scytale, and a Reddit theory about two separate conspiracies, the assassination plot and the Guild's scheme to get a sandworm off Arrakis, might explain what Chani is really doing out there. Abu pushes back on the "Hello, Grandfather" alternate timeline theory, and Leo offers his own explanation for why Paul keeps Chani at arm's length.

   This episode contains SPOILERS for Children of Dune.

   Dune Messiah opens twelve years into Muad'Dib's jihad, with Emperor Paul Atreides worn down by his own visions. Abu and Leo kick off their Dune Messiah Book Club with the first 50 pages, just in time for Dune: Part Three. Lees meer

   Bronso of Ix gets the first word, and the hosts fall a little in love with the historian as he needles Muad'Dib's priests. Scytale's meeting with Gaius Helen Mohiam, Princess Irulan and the Guild Steersman Edric gets read for its subtext within subtext, while Paul's late night with Chani shows a man weighing one beloved life against the agony of multitudes. With help from the Dune Encyclopedia, the hosts trace how a Landsraad revolt turned into a holy war, then close on spice morsels about the Qizarate and the Dune Tarot, plus a fruitless hunt for the meaning of Mirabhasa.

8. Irulan Corrino

   9 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 6 min

   Afspelen
   Princess Irulan Corrino, Shaddam IV's eldest daughter and Paul's wife in name only, finally gets her own character deep dive. Abu and Leo dig into what the Dune Encyclopedia says about her life and legacy, with an eye on Florence Pugh's return to the role in Dune: Part Three. Lees meer

   Dune historians are brutal about Irulan's Bene Gesserit abilities, yet they also credit her as an independent thinker who never fully bought into the Sisterhood, and her near silence about her own mother hints at what the record leaves out. Her schemes in Dune Messiah get written off as "small spurts of rebellion," and the hosts make the case that her history was sanded down to fit the cult of St. Irulan the Virgin that rose a century after her death. They also run through highlights of the writings recovered in the Rakis Finds, including The Chakobsa Way, Arrakis Awakening, and a drama called Ornithopera. The episode closes on how Denis Villeneuve might move her to the center of the conspiracy.

   This episode contains SPOILERS for Children of Dune.

9. Greenslaves and Occupation Force: Frank Herbert Before Dune

   2 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 7 min

   Afspelen
   Abu and Leo dig into "Greenslaves" and "Occupation Force," two stories Herbert wrote in the decade before Dune made him famous, to see what they reveal about the mind behind the books. Lees meer

   "Greenslaves," published in Amazing in March 1965 and later expanded into the novel The Green Brain, follows a Brazilian extermination program built to wipe out every last insect, and the swarm that has learned to disguise itself to survive it. In "Occupation Force," published in Fantastic in 1955, a U.S. general readies the nukes against an alien ship parked over Washington, only for its ambassador to deliver a reveal about exactly how long humans have actually been under alien rule.

   This episode contains SPOILERS for Frank Herbert's short stories Greenslaves and Occupation Force. There are NO SPOILERS for the Dune novels.

10. Lost Entries: Psychology of the Sardaukar and Harkonnens

    25 september 2026 · 55 min

    Afspelen
    Abu and Leo finish their Lost Entries run through Carl B. Yoke's psychology manuscripts, uncovered at the Fullerton Archives. This week they read two unpublished Dune Encyclopedia entries on the psychology of the Sardaukar and the Harkonnens. Lees meer

    The Sardaukar entry centers on the Dhama ti Kama, the corps' secret training manual, which Lady Margot Fenring somehow stole for the Bene Gesserit. Its author, the Sardau shaman Kiwan Kalama, lays out a Freudian program for turning children into warriors, and it is every bit as grim as that sounds. The Harkonnen entry introduces Dr. Amertine Moritani Harkonnen, a granddaughter of Shaddam IV who married into the family after the Baron's death and made him the subject of her Study of the Dark Side.

    This episode contains SPOILERS for Children of Dune.
