The End of the World with Michael and Stu
The Apocalypse is Everywhere. The End of the World with Michael and Stu is a (hopefully) insightful and (hopefully) humorous exploration of the rise of apocalyptic news, apocalyptic thinking and apocalyptic culture. Each week, we’ll be looking at a work of art, a piece of media, or an historical event related to the (hopefully not) impending End of the World.

Episode 8: Dune
It's Dune season and the pod is talking all things Arrakis. Covering both parts of Denis Villeneuve's epic adaptation, this episode explores various themes: resource management, intelligence agency witchcraft, the dangers of messianism, Frank Herbert's complicated politics, ecology, the rivalry of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, the despicableness of Sting, and so much more.
This podcast contains spoilers for Dune Part 1 and Dune Part 2 as well as a discussion of the ways the films differ from the novel.
