Philosophy In Film - 085 - Dune: Part 2
Philosophy In Film - A podcast by Chris McTavish, Alain Beauclair and Craig Nickel
For the 85th episode of the Philosophy in Film Podcast, the gang ventures deep into the sands of Arrakis with Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated "Dune: Part 2." This sci-fi epic continues the journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen to fight against the oppressive forces threatening their world. As the spice must flow, so must our philosophical musings! Craig navigates through Producer’s Notes (7:46), while Alain offers his detailed Beauclair Synopsis (13:19). Chris delves into the depths of philosophical inquiry in Philosopher's Corner (30:05), exploring themes of destiny, power, and ecological stewardship. Our Round Table Discussion (43:22) ignites heated debates and diverse perspectives, while Reviews (1:11:55) reveal the gang's personal verdicts on this cinematic sandstorm. Finally, we delve into the #Mailbag (1:21:40), addressing listener questions and comments that add extra spice to the conversation. As always, we engage in a discussion of all the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie that captured our imaginations and stirred our thoughts.
