Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Alright, hello and welcome back to My Mom's Basement. I am your host, Robbie Fox, and today we are going to be talking about Dune 2. So of course I had to get the two biggest Dune heads at Barstool in here. The man with the entire Dune Funko Pop collection jeff d low thank you for being here and the man who gave himself a nosebleed trying to dress up for the dune 2 premiere dave portnoy dave thanks for being here as well glad to be here i am curious i mean the the video is hysterical you were just going to put a straw up your nose to dress up was there any other costume that you had planned yeah i had no i had a scarf that i was gonna like wear around my neck and then maybe like goggles goggles yeah did you purchase goggles for this or did you own goggles no i have like
Starting point is 00:00:59 from an old costume like jockey goggles all right well respect for trying to dress up yeah big thing in the nerd community yeah yeah i wanted to but like the second i stopped get up there i was like oh that was too far and then i was just cautious so i was like that that's the end of that i'm just gonna go enjoy the movie he did you did turn to me i was there for the super bowl in chicago the trailer played you turn you're like that might be opening night, dress-up night. And someone heard it, and I'm like, I think he's serious, by the way. I'll make a very important thing to say later in this podcast. Oh.
Starting point is 00:01:37 When the time is right. When the time is right. Fair enough. Jeff, your Dune fandom has been well documented through years of i would say well-deserved glazing of denny villanueva or villanelle villanelle sorry it's probably the best i mean what is maybe controversial he's the best like working director in hollywood right now not the best of all time but like the best current Nolan. Would you say Nolan though? Yeah, but even like people didn't love Tenet.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Like most movies all are like up there and fan fan fan ratings, critic ratings. He's gonna be nominated again for best director. It's kind of crazy. Like he just doesn't. I mean, I love Christopher Nolan, but like he just doesn't miss. He's the best sci-fi director. That's like not even a question like between this. Blade Runner Arrival another good like it's just crazy he's done all these movies Sicario not even sci-fi it's nuts Dave I love the arrival yeah I know
Starting point is 00:02:35 you've spoken a ton about Dune as well the first movie but I feel like people still don't realize how big a fan you are of Dune how many times do you think you've seen the first movie well i was re-watching it over and over before too so i've probably seen 10 to 15 times like that's crazy for a three-hour movie i think yeah re-watch it well i'll just come out and say i like it i like it more than star wars whoa well you're going back to the source material. That was one of the first things you said to me and Jeff about Dune. I remember you walking up to our desk and being like,
Starting point is 00:03:10 I couldn't hold it off. Yeah, yeah. I couldn't hold out on the big thing. But yeah, I never knew that. That's crazy to me that Star Wars is based on Dune. I think most people don't know that. When I say most, I mean the nerds may but like the run-of-the-mill person who who's like oh dune like i that is a party trick now mind you like you
Starting point is 00:03:33 know star wars is basically based on dune and they're like what are you talking about like yeah and then i'm like the spice trade and go through the emperors and I mean, it's crazy. It really is. And obviously, I'm older. I don't know that Star Wars stands the test of time necessarily if you watch it now. If it's the first time you've seen it now. This movie is so much
Starting point is 00:03:58 better. Dune, it's so good. It's better. I think it stands the test of time now. Listen, it's amazing good. It's a, so. I think it stands the test of time now. Like, listen, it's amazing. As a first watch, I don't know. I don't know if it came out like now and no one knew what it was, whether it would be the hit that Dune is today, if that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And you can say that about a lot of movies. Jaws is my favorite movie of all time with that. But I don't know. I just, I almost wasn't going to do it because my Christopher Walken take lot of movies jaws is my favorite movie of all time with that like the the but i don't know i i just i almost wasn't gonna do it because my christopher walken take because i really do think he came close to ruining the entire franchise you'd go that far with it yeah it was really bad i thought he was definitely the weakest actor in the movie but that was only because like he's christopher walking
Starting point is 00:04:45 like i thought he would have to know that but it took me out of it sometimes when he would talk and he would hit like his accent i was like oh that's christopher walking yeah i didn't think he was good it's christopher walking i a lot of people are hitting me up saying they felt the same about zendaya it's like you can't cast somebody that big because i thought she was fantastic i think she's good too but people are like it when you're a superstar like you see the person and not the character instantly regardless of the person he is he's he like he is one of those there's a lot of those people in hollywood and actually funny enough now this is maybe like a bad example because this he was tom angst was horrible in the elvis movie
Starting point is 00:05:25 that's another austin butler vehicle there's another one where you try and i actually i don't like i liked walking this but i get it because like you put like walking in this example yeah like it didn't like i'm not gonna horrible the best like i go didn't distract me but i get horrible i get he's gonna be the most evil guy like in the movie and he just was looked like he just came in from wedding because you told me it's the other day i tweeted it too but who would you because i've been trying to think all day if you were a place him is there a person you replace him with like an actor like uh what about like anthony hopkins somebody said that that was one that i know fans yeah that's a like fairly easy i mean i'm sure if i spent a lot of time looking
Starting point is 00:06:10 you could come up with somebody but i don't know that sometimes unknown is better like an unknown evil guy who you've never seen before yeah no that's a good point have you ever seen the original david lynch dune like were you into that at all when it came out or no no i didn't think so yeah i've never tried to think if you watched it how would he feel it's it's very different it's some of it now now i kind of want to see it do you know anything about it no i know like sting is playing austin butler's part yes austin butler was spectacular amazing amazing like tremendous the scene where he's against the final three atreides and it's fucking black and white
Starting point is 00:06:51 which i didn't realize that's black and white because that's that's how the planet is they were saying that's not just like a choice they made that's fucking cool he's a voice guy like he did the voice of elvis he was doing the baron voice here it was kind of like that would actually be a funny saturday night live skit if you had him doing that but remember when he couldn't get through it he like he was plagued with elvis voice like he couldn't stop doing elvis in real life if he just did a skit of that guy it would but like he was talking it's elvis no he was great elvis yips yeah he couldn't got rid of it he became the 84 movie is try to think about this it's shorter than both these movies but it's the entire book so it's both these movies in one movie
Starting point is 00:07:33 and they include like a three-year time jump so it's just like it is that's why i didn't watch it i didn't want part two spoiled before i saw part two like did you i assume je, you knew kind of what we were getting because you're such a dune head. Yeah, I mean, over the course of five years, I read the book. So that's basically the reason why. Did you know at all what we were getting or no? No, none. I didn't either. Yeah, I went in like spoiler free and I was very happy about that.
Starting point is 00:07:59 I saw a lot of people saying about this movie like, oh my God, like you feel the length of it. Ken Jack said like, he warned me like you're going to feel the length. It's three hours. But by the time you get to the third act, it's amazing. I didn't have that issue, to be honest. I thought the first act was as good as the third act. That's crazy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I felt it with like an Oppenheimer. I didn't feel any. I thought that was a full bag for me. Four, four large popcorns didn't even hesitate. No way. You ate four large popcorns. Didn't even hesitate. No way. You ate four large popcorns during Dune 2? Four. That's outrageous.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You ordered four or you kept going back? No. The theater I go to, shout out Silver Spot, when you run out, you can reorder from your seat and they bring it to you. Oh, wow. Yeah. Did you realize how outrageous that is well i had the only person in the country that did that well i mean i had a heart attack one time because i ate too much that's that was the that's a famous story i ate so much popcorn i had a heart attack walking out of the theater i'm a pup i don't love i love the
Starting point is 00:09:02 movies i restrict myself on going because the popcorn is as big a player for me at the movies as the movie. Like I gouge myself on popcorn. I'm out for the day. Like I don't eat like no dinner. I just went and that was it. Four popcorns, long movie. Great. Great.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Robby and I had the bucket. They had the bucket. You had the butth bucket like the butt you had the butthole bucket oh not the butthole no i had a dune bucket but it wasn't that gotcha robbie and i've probably seen i mean 20 movies together if that he knows like i'm a refill before the movie starts guy but also this lengthwise this will shock you robbie this has got to be the first movie i did not get up to go pee you didn't pee no it didn't even cross my like i was so dialed in yet i said jeff jeff is a fork peas a movie guy it's insane how do you do that that's gross i got i i have one of like the michael jordan of bladders being bad we just miss parts of the movie
Starting point is 00:10:05 yeah that's why i see i gotta sit next to him when he comes back that's nuts but that's why i was like i was so i i said it was like exhausting in a good way like at the end of the movie i was like i feel like i was fucking on arrakis like that was unbelievable that's how i felt yeah it was amazing it picked up steam for me i i was i was stunned that i had no idea maybe i should have been paying more attention his fighter friend there like somehow lived that was stunning to me like oh brolin josh yeah yeah yeah no i think if you don't i think if you don't know that he comes back i think that's perfectly reasonable i mean he you would assume he would have died like everyone well yeah yeah um i like him a lot gurney right that's his name is that his name jeff gurney yeah played by played
Starting point is 00:10:51 by patrick stewart and in the oh really movie yeah professor x that's interesting yeah and that's that's the the the ballast set the thing he plays it's like a very nerdy like it's like a simpsons reference of it that's a very famous thing that like he plays that they obviously didn't do it as much as he did and like he plays a whole song in the 1984 movie if i recall so how many more dunes do we have just one right so there's there's a couple there's a lot of books and when frank herbert passed away his son wrote books and many have said that like the the books from the son are terrible but the next one is dune messiah which i won't say anything that happens in that i don't i won't spoil it like i don't if
Starting point is 00:11:29 you don't want to know anything but ideally we've completed the first two books with some changes the next movie if it comes out which it just made like it it blew out expectation it made like 82 million dollars a weekend so i think there we're gonna get a next one for sure now it would be based on the book dune messiah which is the next book and there's children of dune and it moves on but that would be the next one so there should be a third is a time jump too right like it's like 10 years in the future i don't know if they're gonna handle that though because they already took so like the the different big difference between this the movie and the book is uh the daughter is born in the book, and she actually kills the Baron.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And this, they eliminated that. There's no time jump. So they removed that from this. Like, that's not going to happen in these movies, obviously. The way it was setting up, and I have no idea because I haven't read the books and just watching this, is that the daughter, the unborn daughter, is going to be like the rival of that's how it seemed like right yeah yeah yeah i was because she's the girl too and they wanted yeah and then the way they're like talking like sometimes i thought the mom was going bad during this i'm like is she so did i like she was one of
Starting point is 00:12:37 the best people in the movie i thought when she started getting the face tattoos when she got the numbers the water of life yeah yeah yeah like yeah agreed i couldn't tell if it's good or bad my favorite part of the movie was probably uh when paul just yelled at the old mother and she like yes that was so good i was satisfied you do feet react to that my feet are like they cheer oh yeah it was awesome he hit her with the silence that was powerful and then he made walken kiss the fucking ring yeah that was that was all sweet then this movie was full of like satisfying moments i feel like that was the big almost difference from part one and part two this one has the action the satisfying moments dave you tweeted you might
Starting point is 00:13:15 like part one more there's more no like can you pinpoint down why more storytelling and and and one like i the i'm not necessarily a fight scene guy like i there was a lot more fighting and maybe blown i i don't know the story evolved more i thought in like one like everything was new and and i don't know like even the scene when the emperor tells them that they gotta go to like iraqis and they land like all that. I liked a lot in landing on Iraq. It, I mean, I love both of them,
Starting point is 00:13:48 but I thought there was more storytelling and like new crate, like interesting stuff in the first, if that makes any sense. That's why I love the first, like I, I love the first more than I think a lot of people do. Maybe not you. Like,
Starting point is 00:14:00 if he's like, we're on the same page there, the first, like, I just love the, the world building and how deep it gets. And like, it it's it's more of a character movie where this is like it's great i mean this one's a fucking amazing and i do prefer this one a little bit but i i got that's why i love the first one it's you're talking so much they're diving so deep
Starting point is 00:14:17 into that shit it's just cool i think i prefer the second a lot more to be honest like the first i really liked the first time i saw it then i re-watched it before seeing dune 2 and i was like all right i kind of loved it on the re-watch like it grew a lot for me on the second watch this one though i was blown away leaving the theater like i wasn't with part one this it was every second there was another satisfying moment one of them obviously big spoilers all over this podcast for dune 2 if If you haven't seen Dune II, we're spoiling it. When Gurney gets to kill Batista, and he's like, for the fucking Duke. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I mean, that was incredible. That was like one of the best moments in either movie. I also liked how they, I liked how that wasn't a fight. Oh, yeah, it was quick. Yeah, he just like dominated him. I liked that. Well, that guy was like a bitch the whole movie he was just getting he was he got ragged he had to kiss his brother's feet that was tough yeah he got ragdolled the whole movie of the big edition
Starting point is 00:15:17 have him just killed because i thought he was gonna be like i'm not kissing he's gonna kill him he's killing everyone's i figured he just maybe he's going to kill his brother of the big additions to the cast florence pew austin butler i would even kind of count like zendaya and javier bardem because they weren't in the first one a ton who were the standouts for you who do you think were the highlights of it i feel like austin butler probably right yeah because he had the biggest role but i thought florence pew was perfect yeah i saw you got a new crush with her, too. Yeah, I didn't realize who it was in real time, but I was like, oh, I like this girl. She was perfect.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Perfect. Like her thing, but I mean, Austin Butler was also perfect. So you got to give it to Austin Butler. He was a great villain. Crowd loved Javier Bardem as Stilgar, too. That was that was I don't see I don't I don't count him as new I'm sorry yeah he's he's but he's in the first one just for a little bit I guess the line that got a reaction from from my crowd was the uh
Starting point is 00:16:17 when when he said like of course of course he would be humble the Lizano maybe would be humble he would never like yeah the crowd loved that so all of his lines what do you mean the crowd loved that they what and his theater they cheered oh like you know huge laughs everything he said got i did go to a very dorky screening that is worth noting but okay because i didn't have that screening people weren't i went to a fan screening i would like the opening night fan screening so there were some people dressed as fremen in mine oh really with the full nose thing yeah yeah wow they were like murmurs they make the new i mean they just bought costumes like they these are like cosplayers like they buy the gear and that should be your halloween costume you should buy the real costume
Starting point is 00:17:04 yeah i looked online i don't see any ones with the nose piece i don't even know how you do you need that's the most important part oh it's the only part that's why would you would you do colored contacts would you do blue contact yeah yeah yeah 100 that'd be awesome that's gonna be a permanent maybe dave's permanent thing that's like dave just he's fremen now he's got the blue eyes all the time there were murmurs in my theater when they said dune you could tell everyone he's like an old you know name for the planet dune and everyone like turned to each other like oh shit they fucking said it they said dune also that was the one moment where people were murmuring this is the first movie in a long time where like i
Starting point is 00:17:42 don't like get too hung up on graph like Like it's the coolest looking like effects of it. Like it looked on, it's crazy how real it all looked. Like, I guess I haven't thought about it because everything looks for the most part good nowadays movies because it costs so much money, but it was the first time in probably since like Mad Max, like 10 years ago where I was like,
Starting point is 00:17:58 holy shit. So I didn't see it on an IMAX, even though Jeff, you'll see it on an IMAX, but I like, I, if I, I'm sure so
Starting point is 00:18:05 gone so I wasn't gonna listen you try you almost bullied me off going because I like literally there was only two showings one was like I couldn't get to either of them so I was like am I just not gonna see it and I was like fuck it I'm just gonna go and then I did research on the difference between IMAX and normal and there's a lot of like avatar, like side by sides. It's not that big of a deal. It's the two IMAX screens that Jeff goes to. There's like one in New York,
Starting point is 00:18:33 one in LA that are a big difference. One in New York. Every other IMAX is a LIMAX. I mean, just see it no matter what. We don't have to get it. Well, no,
Starting point is 00:18:41 you specifically said, see it on IMAX. It'll be also good. I know you're, you barstool boys love the line see it on the biggest screen possible i've heard that from them so much yeah i was just like fuck it i don't i don't think it really matters i'm gonna go because it's like i i like doing on my tv so i don't know yeah um one thing that i didn't realize was the big twist in dune was that the good guy was gonna find out that he's related to the bad guy well the audacity of george lucas i mean my jaw hit the floor and i was like my god george lucas said we're like we're taking that he for so much he george lucas said he's i'm taking all of it
Starting point is 00:19:27 basically i mean he basically said star wars like the dune fans had to think they were getting away with something i saw something that said star wars is the first successful adaptation of dune and and it's true really is the only thing where, when I'm going back and forth on Star Wars versus Dune, and I said Dune, maybe I go back to Star Wars because Vader is so good that he propels, like, that the walk-in versus Vader is such a, like, bloodbath. Like, I don't know. That, like, right now through these two, two you don't really who's the main villain right now in dune there isn't one they're all dead yeah now there's i guess it's just the the
Starting point is 00:20:12 other houses where we'll find out we'll find out who they are yeah you you can if you read some quotes because so i don't unless i've missed something, I don't think Lucas has ever admitted to it. I think he. No, yes. He has. Yes. He said it was inspired by Dune. Okay. Cause I know, I know originally he did. Have you ever seen the quote from Frank Herbert?
Starting point is 00:20:37 The guy who wrote the book, what he said about Star Wars? It's one of my favorite. Tell us. This was from 1985. So before he admitted anything, he said Lucas has never admitted that, that they copied a lot of Dune, and I'm not saying that they did. I'm just saying there are 16 points of identity
Starting point is 00:20:49 between the book Dune and Star Wars, which I love. Yeah. They didn't do it, but there's like, you know. It's crazy. It's like the same movie, basically. Tatooine and Arrakis might be the most egregious. It has to be, right? And the fact that the main character is like using the way,
Starting point is 00:21:04 the force, the voice. is like using the way the force the voice his name is paul like a normal name luke a normal name i mean and when he finds out like oh i'm related to the bad guy i'm your grant yeah grandpa it's like he's literally unbelievable yeah in the second one too i know it's in the first book but like in the second movie they go through the plot point for the second movie that was that was know it's in the first book, but like in the second movie, they go through the plot point for the second movie. That was that was crazy. I also loved the way he killed the Baron. I know you said in the book it's he doesn't even kill the daughter.
Starting point is 00:21:33 It's a three year old. It's the three year old daughter. I'm glad they didn't do that because the the fetus talking was kind of like weird enough and out there enough. Yeah, I think if she was born and killed the Baron, I'd be weird. Yeah, that makes me think that the daughter is a rival the boy because i do think they want a woman i think so yeah and they cast anya taylor joy as the the adult version of her so you know like they have big plans for the adult version of her they're casting an a-lister or maybe a b lister but um yeah as far as positive george lucas admitted it i mean at some point he probably had to he's probably beaten down like
Starting point is 00:22:12 now especially now that the movies are out and like most people are realizing it it is crazy i mean he took all of it's crazy yeah um how'd you feel about the ending love triangle the knife fight into him taking florence pew the emperor's daughter's hand right in front of shawnee well it i you know i didn't like it probably i didn't like it because i like to i like the true love of that relationship but i got it like and that's why he said like i'll love you till my dying breath he knew what he had to do and it's like he was doing it for the better which i think he he made pretty clear he's making decisions not that he wanted to do he was making them for the best so to join the the the the two houses or whatever you want to call it he had to do that i i still wanted to
Starting point is 00:23:01 kill walk-in i want him to be like i'm still marrying you and i'm gonna kill walk-in too um but it was the right move business decision that that's a what again i'm not i don't want to i won't say anything from like future stuff because i don't want to spoil it but i mean though i don't know what they're going to change or not at the end of the book chani is a little more happy-go-lucky about but trying she's like more accepting of it where this one obviously she's she's left just gone also in the book i read they have a fucking kid that the harkonnens kill shawnee and paul yeah like before all that time jump was really smart that was like the big paul and zendaya have a kid that the harkinens kill yes in the book oh wow that's maybe a little too like house
Starting point is 00:23:48 of dragonzy not that they were thinking that consciously but we saw a lot of like we're killing the next generation to piss off each other and get the i could be wrong about george lucas i'm looking it up and it it's not saying he did but i thought he i thought i saw that he did i i mean i just did quick googles but like he's also he's also spoke a billion times about the movie he's like credited like like old kurosawa like japanese films and stuff and but like there's a really good originals either it's the prequels the prequels too with anakin being the messiah the chosen one and then being like no he's not the chosen one and then like he
Starting point is 00:24:25 he literally copied half the book for the originals and then copied the other half for the prequels he copied it i mean all the way like i mean there's no other way to say it yeah no he he did and respect to him for getting away with it like he truly had to feel like when Star Wars was a big hit, like, we got away with something there. Nobody's saying anything. He didn't know it would be big. He's like, oh, fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Like, I did too. I was, like, too close. Thank God for lightsabers, because that's, like, the big difference there is you at least have. And in Dune, they have the, like, vibration blades, so it's not too different, but at least you and in dune they have the like vibration blades so it's not too different but at least yeah and like dune they do the little force field things yeah he had like there's no darth vader so he like he did little things but like for all we know darth vader was living
Starting point is 00:25:17 somewhere on dune i don't know it was like it was very similar very similar baron is close enough though in some respects got the big black suit. He's like, like, you know, like when he's all war ready, I don't know. It's like a little job of the hut though.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yeah. Job of the huts. Almost a Baron ripoff. Yeah. Yeah. He's awesome. By the way, like fantastic feeling.
Starting point is 00:25:41 The Baron. Great feeling. Stellan scars guard. He's the fucking man did you watch andor dave you did right yep yep he was great and that as well when he does the monologue on the he's the guy who helps the rebellion he has the monologue where he's like he owns like like the memorabilia shop and he like changes his hair now and then he's kind of a name yeah catalyst i can't wait for that to come back oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah a couple
Starting point is 00:26:04 questions that maybe you know the answer to being a book guy jeff these aren't criticisms of dune but i was just curious seemed like it was real hard for paul to get up on the sandworm great scene when he like jumps off a cliff on the sandworm how did they get a whole village up there they the next scene they had like 60 people and an egg that rebecca ferguson was in how'd they get the egg on there that's one of those sci-fi things you just kind of look past, you know? It's not that, yeah, not that kind of movie, I guess. I was also wondering how they get off the sandworm.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Most of the action and stuff never happens in the book. That's why they've always called the book, like, unadaptable. Because, and if you watch the original movie, they kind of do it, is it's really just them talking about the action. Like, Paul and Faye Ralfa in the book, it just says like they fight here. Like they don't really go into it. That's why people are so like,
Starting point is 00:26:49 you can't adapt it, which is kind of true. That's why it made the changes. Like I'm going to show the action instead of showing them talk about the action off screen. That's like kind of the big, huge difference.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Weird that they would not do it. It's politics, which again, politics, George Lucas, prequels, politics. Oh,
Starting point is 00:27:05 yeah. Yeah. Will you guys be going back? I assume Jeff, the answer is yes. I don't even have to ask you, Dave, will you be going back to see this in theaters?
Starting point is 00:27:15 Because of the popcorn intake. Really? Yeah. That's crazy. Like, I'm not going to go do another four bagger. I need a couple of months. Like,
Starting point is 00:27:23 and I would have to, I can't. Theater experience, three minimum four is a long movie. I knew you were a big popcorn guy. I thought that meant maybe two. No. At this theater, I get two upon arrival. I'm also generally 45 minutes to an hour early in a movie. Oh, wow. I like that. I appreciate that. I'm first generally 45 minutes to an hour
Starting point is 00:27:45 early at a movie oh wow I like that I appreciate that I'm first person in a theater almost every time and like nobody else even shows up like for a while to the point I have to check the ticket be like am I in the right theater you're watching the Maria Menounos
Starting point is 00:27:59 no they're not even like turning the thing on yet it's that early they're still cleaning up for the last showing. Yeah. So I usually have a popcorn down, and we're still a good 20 minutes away from the preview starting. So I'm there a long time. So for me to go see a movie I've already seen, I can't.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I only have so many popcorn things in me. And also, on the star Wars take on the, you're a bigger dune guy than star Wars guy at this point, was that pre dune two or did dune to send that over the edge? No dune one. I was really thinking about it. Ooh. And then dune two,
Starting point is 00:28:37 I think put it over the edge. I just, it could be, again, it's just the newer part of it, but there's something to the fact that I really, Lucas just stole the thing. So it's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:49 I feel like I'm giving credit back to the original a little. Yeah, that's true. I'm a big Oasis fan and people just criticize them for just ripping off the Beatles at every turn. And I view it as the same thing. They said like, I'll take that, I'll take that. And they put a little spin on it and then they repackaged it, You know, it's a new thing.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah. It's just stunning. Like, it's stunning. I like I always kind of rolled my eyes when you said to me and Jeff, like, did you know Lucas ripped him off? Like, yeah, I knew that. Like, come on. It's a few things here and there in this movie when they were like, he's your grandfather. My heart sank and I was like, oh like oh no he really ripped everything off yeah
Starting point is 00:29:26 anything else on uh dune 2 before we uh go into the final portion of the podcast it's it is it is the it's a long way out this year's oscars haven't even happened it's the it's the betting favor to win best picture next year which is pretty crazy but it is like that is legitimate it is what is poor things is that this year or last year that's that's nominated this year but it was last that that's up for next so the oscars are a week from sunday that's this that's the 2023 oscars is she gonna win i think so she's the favorite right yeah probably not anymore she's not a dk partner lily gladstone from flower moon is now the favorite but i do think emma stone's gonna win i watched that last weekend she was great in that did you like did you like it

So, but he knows favorite movie of the year. What's that? It's Caleb's favorite movie of the year.

Starting point is 00:31:22 bizarre as weird as it gets. Yeah. All right. So for final question, I think next week actually marks a year since the Disney boys embarked on our big trip. Kind of the Dune boys now. I think we should have another trip together, even if it's not Disney World. I've said it before. I'll say it again.
Starting point is 00:31:46 I believe that the Disney boys are the next Nelk boys I think our group here we could have you know our own alcohol our own drink I think it's just money waiting to be printed what do you think there's gotta be there's gotta be in the future I would think Dune like Dune Land yeah Dune Land I would think no
Starting point is 00:32:02 is it too adult you know like it's hard to market dune to kids and families i mean should we just go where they shot it didn't they have jaws yeah they did a universal they did yeah so that's like they didn't have a land you know it's just a ride maybe what's like the what's the disney boys next move is it a disney thing or is it like uh we go to comic-con dressed as fremen like what's the what's the next move that'd be funny too i have some ideas but i don't i don't know if they be well received oh shocker come on throw an idea out how well it's received i i have an idea for for it.
Starting point is 00:32:45 That'd be post summer. I think the Disney boys should hold like a Disney world record. What? I think, I think we should go after like a Disney world related world record. I, I, I don't know how well you receive it to you guys.
Starting point is 00:32:58 You guys don't love roller coasters. World record for most rides. And yeah, no. Like that is as Jeff Lowe putting us on that roller coaster death that he had never been on but he knew
