Get ready to ride the worm! Jim and Kelly take their Bene Gesserit sass to the sands of Arrakis in this action-packed, spice-infused episode. From face tattoos and sandworms to Christopher Walken’s emperor swagger, they dive headfirst into the cinematic and literary epic that is Dune Part 2. Expect debates about prophecy, Paul’s messiah complex, and why Stilgar might be the Ned Stark of the Fremen (spoiler alert: way fewer direwolves). Plus, Kelly questions the butthole-dick sandworm design while Jim nerds out over worm-riding glory. It's a journey through sci-fi grandeur, poignant politics, and questionable parental decisions (spice orgy while pregnant, anyone?). Grab your stillsuit and join the fun—your water’s worth it!

We have such sights to show you! Fresh off the torture rack- and burning up with sex appeal that only a hairless demon scorpion monster can bring- it's time to dig your pins into a VHS classic.

Kelly joins Julia at the bar to pick up her latest kills, I mean reads. Finally a horror novella that cuts to the point- though maybe the name doesn't quite pull it off. Don't be fooled by the appearance-something dark & familiar lurks beneath. Clive Barker channels boredom into just the right amount of blood that it's almost torture to put it down. Short but sweet, the Hellbound Heart made Jesus weep.

Jimmy isn't really falling for Pinheads plea to "Come to daddy!" Can't blame him after years of avoiding Blockbuster's version of Lamarchand's box. The scares might have just been contained to the box set cover art- but if you are down to get grossed out on 80s gore then the Cenobites are ready to please. It might be iconic but did Clive Barker get his own book a little... skewed?

Your pleasure might not be the same as ours- but we know you'll enjoy the pain of deciding if book or movie can master your senses. Grab a chain and get ready to pull apart Hellraiser with a very leather clad Halloween episode.

It's time to Spice up your life!

Arrakis might look like a dead planet on the surface but it's swimming in sweet sweet stimulants. You don't need to have visions of the future to know we're talking about Dune. It's a space opera that blends a trippy college bender with the fun of LARP'ing. Thankfully in neither book or movie you won't smell a sietch.

Kelly struggled with her stillsuit but Frank Herbert lent her the mentat advice she needed to hear... it just needed to be said in a Bene Gesserit voice. The OG science fiction novel brought the stars to earth and established a cult following that continues to worship its prolific world-building. Sure, your mind might hurt a bit... and you'll have to read the series backwards and forwards to begin to understand what the heck is happening...but that's the fun of being a messiah.

Denis Villeneuve showed Jimmy a whole new world- without the Guild cost. This sweeping & visually stunning film infuses the universe with the intent and intelligence it was written as. Polarizing pod favorite Timothee Chalamet delivers a Paul Atreides worth following into... a holy war? We'll have to get back to you on that one. Regardless, you'll drink up these epic performances. The movie found the way to show and tell complicated material and still entertain its audience. Explosions help the exposition go down. The film is like a ride of a sand worm... a gritty acid trip.

So hop in the ornithopter and get that sand-walk right: It's time to find the golden path between book and movie.
