Very Serious Book Club

The final ep of Dune!! The ~epic~ story concludes and our hosts share what they think of the grand finale and the entire book. PLUS outstanding questions like: Why do still suits have chip cups? Is the emperor asking for toilet paper? Why’s Paul *still* so lame?

Death wishes! Hugs! Poison! Third wheels! Women’s roles in Fremen society! The penultimate episode! Things are ramping up before the big battle show down. PLUS our hosts ask all the hard-hitting questions like: How do sand worms move? How big of a jerk is Paul? Is everyone in Dune hot?

Two years have passed since we last saw Paul, Chani, Jessica, the Baron and Princess Alia having Dune-ventures. Our pals are BACK and v sassy, v sassy this week. There were baby lisps, death threats and sand worms. Wait—who did what you ask?? Listen to find out dear listener (hi Mom).

Things are starting to get spicy in Dune, in more ways than one. In this week’s reading we get a glimpse into the lives of the evil Harkonnens and their evil ways. We are reminded that they are evil. Count Fenring tells a killer joke neither of our hosts “get.” Next is the ceremony for the Reverend Mother which, if Kris and Alia are not mistaken, ends in an all out orgy. Seriously?

Paul and Chani’s hot romance begins to take off as Jessica becomes more and more jealous and protective of her son. Kris discovers that the back of her book had a glossary THE WHOLE TIME. Alia shows off her deep knowledge of hardcore metal bands and Kris, hers of Neopets. And perhaps, could it be, did Alia enjoy this reading? PLUS a failed update to grey blob watch.
