Join us for an in-depth dive into Frank Herbert's novel Dune and all of the adaptations of that story.
Using the most famous science-fiction book ever written as our base, we're looking at the choices made in different times by different creators: How does one adapt a story that's been deemed unadaptable – what worked, and what didn't? And how does each attempt leave a deeper understanding of this rich galaxy of politics, philosophy, and lore?

Also, browse our feed for our in-depth coverage of Silo, Apple TV+’s dystopic scifi thriller, from two different perspectives: book reader Elysia, and show-only Luke, with spoilers only up to the episode discussed and equivalent parts of the book.
Plus past holiday specials like the endless variations of A Christmas Carol as well as It's a Wonderful Life / Knife, The Craft films, and Edgar Allan Poe and The Fall of the House of Usher coverage – not to mention our coverage of both seasons of Beacon 23 – Hugh Howey's other TV adaptation.
