John CampeaHOST
And she's got Jesuit training, right? So she's able to kind of maybe resist it.
John CampeaHOST
But this is Muad'Dib Paul Atreides, man.
John CampeaHOST
There ain't no resisting him.
John CampeaHOST
And she collapses and she's in agony.
JessicaHOST
We don't talk a lot about the ick around the Bene Gesserit and the genetic selection and things like that.
JessicaHOST
But then we jump right back into the ick and we double down in this book because we're like, well, if we really want to capture those Atreides genes, this is what we need to have happen.
JessicaHOST
So that bothered me way more than she's got the hots for a zombie.
JessicaHOST
If I'm being honest, like...
AbuHOST
And this analysis is now acting as almost a rallying cry for people that oppose Muad'Dib and his empire.
AbuHOST
And we're given a huge hint here that all is not well in Paul Muad'Dib's new empire.
AbuHOST
There are people and factions out there that oppose him.
AbuHOST
And Branzo's ideology or his ideas presented in his analysis of history are things that people are pointing to to criticize this new emperor.
AbuHOST
All right.
AbuHOST
This first chapter then ends with a huge revelation to the reader.
AbuHOST
We learned that we are now 12 years into Muad'Dib's jihad.
AbuHOST
And that's a word that should strike fear in any book reader's hearts because that is the thing all throughout the first book that we talked so much about, that Paul worried so much about and went to such lengths to prevent.
Paul AtreidesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There was no Muad'Dib, no Lisan al-Gahib, no Kwisatz Haderach.
Paul AtreidesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I see a universe where I, Paul Atreides, was never born.
Paul AtreidesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All my visions lead to horror.
Paul AtreidesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Except this one.
Samira AhmedHOST
But the film flopped and his career took a more intriguing path.
Samira AhmedHOST
When I spoke to Kyle MacLachlan, I asked him first about making Dune and why he identified so deeply with the character of Paul Atreides in Frank Herbert's novel.
Kyle MacLachlanGUEST
I first read the book when I was 14, 15 years old, roughly, and it immediately spoke to me.
Kyle MacLachlanGUEST
I mean, it took me a few attempts to get past page 60 because it's very tense, very complicated.
Jim PurcellHOST
The first hour is pretty good.
Jim PurcellHOST
The lore building, the whole Atreides, Harkonnen, Emperor dynamics and all that stuff in the palace and on Arrakis is pretty good.
Jim PurcellHOST
And then Paul ends up in the desert and they freaking speed run the Fremen stuff.
Jim PurcellHOST
It's amazing how much they just he shows up and suddenly he's their leader.
Layman PascalGUEST
There's this interplay with this thing that's like a person, a divine person.
Layman PascalGUEST
And then the other entity, which is the one we're all facing, is in the near future, right? Not LLMs, but what do LLMs become when they converge with quantum computing and every other kind of radical technology, robotics and synthetic transistors and off-world technology? It's like if you've read the Dune series, Paul Atreides is not the hero.
Layman PascalGUEST
He's the...
Layman PascalGUEST
He's the appetizer.
DrewHOST
Um, so I don't know.
Brother JHOST
Well, what I, what I'm really looking forward to is the resolution of the Paul Atreides story because, um, We watched and talked about the...
Brother JHOST
I haven't read any of the books.
Brother JHOST
By the way, my daughter is considering reading the books.
DrewHOST
The movie will make more sense in some ways if you read the book.
Brother JHOST
Yeah, so here's what I loved about Dune.
Brother JHOST
movie after having talked about the original david lynch movie and then the sci-fi series dune and children of dune um i think both of those previous adaptations really focused on making paul atreides a conventional hero right and um in the first dune movie it was certainly an incomplete story um But that's what he was set up to be, is like the savior and the messiah.
Brother JHOST
And even like most of the way through Dune 2, you think he's on that journey.
EdHOST
The footage they showed off in this was a lot more than I think they showed off in the CinemaCon trailer.
EdHOST
We got to see a really great look at Paul Atreides, and we got to see a lot more of Zendaya, which was cool.
EdHOST
I'm really excited about this.
EdHOST
Jason Momoa's character as well.
Maverick DixonHOST
But...
Maverick DixonHOST
Dune part one also has a whole arc for Paul Atreides that does get completed in there.
Maverick DixonHOST
And a lot of it has to do with this idea of him rejecting this call to be this leader of these people.
Maverick DixonHOST
And he's saying, you know, you know, don't look at me.
