Episode 2 is a doozy, because introducing the Harkonnens takes time. We cover whether the Baron's globe is an inaccurate knock-off (how would he know), Maryann calls Piter (Pete?) a "sass box" and Claire makes us wonder: Does the Baron really love his nephew Feyd?
About the show: Dune Buddies is your friendly, far ranging, far-fetched and maybe overly focused guide to Dune and its adaptations. Taking things chapter-by-chapter and scene-by-scene, as well as checking in with our friend who is a sci-fi neophyte reading Dune for the first time, as well as our other friends who might love/hate Dune as much as we do.
Music: Doktor Zeus + his Phantastic Orchestra
End music: "kull wahad" by BeNe GeSSeRiT

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
