    Patreon Exclusive Preview: Dune (1984)
    Apr 30 2024
    https://open.spotify.com/show/2BsfYRiIzhDgs6EBByeUuL?si=c7f306c63a1d467a Dune is a 1984 American epic space opera film written and directed by David Lynch and based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel Dune. It was filmed at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The soundtrack was composed by the rock band Toto, with a contribution from Brian Eno. Its large ensemble cast includes Kyle MacLachlan's film debut as young nobleman Paul Atreides, Patrick Stewart, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Virginia Madsen, José Ferrer, Sean Young, Sting, Linda Hunt, and Max von Sydow. The setting is the distant future, chronicling the conflict between rival noble families as they battle for control of the extremely harsh desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune. The planet is the only source of the drug melange (spice), which allows prescience and is vital to space travel, making it the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe. Paul Atreides is the scion and heir of a powerful noble family, whose inheritance of control over Arrakis brings them into conflict with its former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also possibly the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure expected by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood. After the novel's initial success, attempts to adapt Dune as a film began in 1971. A lengthy process of development followed throughout the 1970s, during which Arthur P. Jacobs, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Ridley Scott unsuccessfully tried to bring their visions to the screen. In 1981, executive producer Dino De Laurentiis hired Lynch as director. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $30.9 million from a $40–42 million budget. At least four versions have been released worldwide. Lynch largely disowned the finished film and had his name removed or changed to pseudonyms. The film has developed a cult following,[4][5] but opinion varies between fans of the novel and fans of Lynch's films.[6] Wikipedia Prepare for a wild excursion into the heart of Belizean jungles and the ruins of Laminai as we recount an adventure that's part comedy, part thriller, and all real-life in this episode of Sounds Awesome Patreon. 🌴🐒 Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of a spontaneous journey with Fatty and his wife, Lisa, as they set out to explore ancient Mayan ruins. It's a tale of rum, unexpected detours, and a quest to uncover the mysteries of a civilization long past... but with a twist that's pure Sounds Awesome Patreon. 🍹🗺️ From the sweltering heat of the tarmac to the eerie calls of the jungle, every moment is an unpredictable ride. Picture this: a couple, slightly buzzed and high on life (and a little something else), suddenly find themselves face to face with nature's rowdy teenagers - a band of juvenile howler monkeys making a ruckus that would make any horror movie proud. 🌳🔊 And just when you think it's all fun and games, we pivot to a camping escapade with Desmond and Kelly, where a night under the stars turns into a heart-pounding dash for survival... or so they thought. What's lurking in the dark? A bear, a moose, or perhaps something a bit less... ferocious? 🏕️😱 So, buckle up, dear Patreons, for laughter, suspense, and the kind of stories you can only get here on Sounds Awesome Patreon. It's an episode that reminds us that sometimes, the greatest adventures come with a side of the unexpected - and a good dose of humility. 🎙️😂 For more tales that teeter on the edge of the unbelievable and the hilarious, stay tuned to Sounds Awesome Patreon. And if you've got your own wild travel stories or close encounters of the raccoon kind, share them with us at soundawesomepatreon@gmail.com. Until next time, keep your wits about you and your machete closer... just in case. 🛶🌲 --- 📋 Episode Chapters (00:00) Happy birthday fatty!

    S5 Ep7: Doctor Who (3.10 - Blink) (2007)
    Apr 11 2024
    Shift into gear, time travelers, and brace yourselves for a journey into the heart of sci-fi nostalgia with this episode of Time Pop! 🌀📺

    🚀 "The Weeping Angels Take Manhattan: A Doctor Who Deep Dive" 🚀

    Join Desmond McNeese and Scott Lifton as they venture into the beloved universe of "Doctor Who" with the critically acclaimed episode "Blink." This isn't your typical Time Lord adventure – it's an episode that's light on the Doctor but heavy on the time-bending thrills, featuring the eerie and iconic Weeping Angels.

    Carrie Mulligan stars as Sally Sparrow in this Doctor Who-lite episode, where statues move in the blink of an eye and messages transcend time. We dissect the paradoxes, the bootstrap conundrums, and the surprisingly philosophical implications of being zapped back in time. 🗿⏳

    As Desmond and Scott peel back the layers of this fan-favorite episode, they grapple with the ethical dilemmas posed by the show and question the effectiveness of DVD Easter eggs as a narrative device. From the haunting "Don't blink" warning to the peculiar time loop that ensnares every character, we explore how "Blink" stands out in the Whovian canon and why it's cited as one of the series' best despite its unusual detachment from the titular hero.

    🎙 Listener Debate: Is it better to be sent back in time against your will or to face a more traditional demise? And does "Blink" truly deserve its place in the pantheon of great time travel stories? Email us your thoughts at timepoppod@gmail.com and join the temporal discussion.
