Following the world premiere of Dune: Part One, the first wave of movie reviews are out! In this special episode, we analyze the many critics' reports and viewer reactions coming out of Venice Film Festival. Johnny, Garin, Marcus, and Simon—joined by Mark from DuneInfo—seek a consensus about what it all means.

We also cover the official press conference, featuring insightful comments from director Denis Villeneuve and six of the movie's stars—Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem. Finally, The Dune Sketchbook, first of Hans Zimmer's three Dune soundtracks, has been released!
