Episode 34 - Trans Icon Kwisatz Haderach or: Great Man Theory, Ecofashism, and Dune (1965) by One True Pod published on 2021-01-12T23:22:03Z God made the sci fi novel to train the podcasters. That's because we're looking for the first time at a complete book: Frank Herbert's aesthetic melange, Dune. We cover all the surface-level topics such as failed movie adaptations, STEM nerds, whether knives are swords, controlling jizz, and magazines that rejected June's writing. Then we talk about the book's bad politics, how to read it contrary those politics, and why the characters are so stupid (all these topics are related). Come for the mispronounced names, stay for the hot take from Nick that "Twilight is a very effective book." Genre Entertainment
