Manufacturing a Messiah in “Dune: Part Two” (2024 film) ft. Fonda Lee

Award-winning author Fonda Lee returns to discuss Denis
Villeneuve’s epic sequel that finishes his Dune adaptation where
the Bene Gesserit’s plan to engineer a savior comes into center
frame. In episode 303, Luke, James, and Fonda discuss what Frank
Herbert regretted after the initial release of his landmark
novel, the many significant changes to the book and what they
mean, the shifting role of Chani, the more villainous Jessica, a
fetus-version of Alia, and how Denis is laying the groundwork for
DUNE MESSIAH. They finish by casting their votes on which was
better: the book or Part One and Part Two combined!
