That is fantastic. All right. Well, let's get into our first heavy hitter here, the new Dune final trailer breakdown. Now, Kirkland, you're a big Dune guy. You and Travis.

Yeah. Unlike you. You were originally not even going to see this movie when we were going over the debacle of finding our tickets. You son of a bitch.

If it wasn't on the same day, I would have been more like a yes. But then because it's just planning everything, I was like, oh, this– This is chaotic, but I made it work, and I'm not even sitting next to you guys. I'm sitting in, like, Harry Osborn in the front door. Yeah. Just looking at you guys.

Your little binoculars, the whole movie.

Yeah, yeah. But, like, first impressions over this trailer, like, it has me pretty excited. And I like Dune 2 more than Dune 1. Dune 1 just felt very... slow burn.

I thought you hated Dune 2. That was the big controversy.

Did I hate Dune 2? On the review, you and Dylan both hated it.

And I was just the only one. This fucking guy.

But I like it more than the first one. But seeing this trailer, I was like, this trailer, I feel like this has a lot more kind of stuff that's pulling me in. And I want to say one quick thing too. This trailer, because you'll know this better than I will because I feel like you're more immersed in Dune.

So is this Dune 3 from what this trailer kind of puts down, it's going to be like right post-Dune 2, and then skipping ahead 19 years?

I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea. Hidalgo has read the book, so I was asking him some questions about this. I'm honored that you think that I know a lot about this Dune universe. I love those first two movies, but from what I understand, there is at least a 15-year time jump, but I don't know if that happens between the movies or whatnot. I'm sure they'll tell us in the movie.

Oh, there you go.

There's, there's a dog on the chat. This movie will start 19 years ago. The events of the second movie. What does that even mean? This movie will start 19 years ago. The events of the second movie.

Okay. Years after.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You're lucky. We were about to boot you. Um, there you go.

Perfect.

You just wrote on the horizon, like Gandalf giving us the answers that we needed. Um, But yeah, so you're saying that you really like this trailer. You're optimistic, even though you don't necessarily love those first two.

Yeah, I mean.

It is the conclusion, right?

It is the conclusion, yeah. Timmy's just got the full Anakin Skywalker look going on. His eyes aren't moving anymore. They're evil Sith eyes, and I'm digging that.

Turned her against me. You definitely have that energy.

You do. He's talking like, I did this for you. Just like Anakin's like, my new empire. He's got that shit going on, and I'm eating that up. That was actually pretty cool. Nice. What about you?

Yeah. I am very excited for this movie. I am a little bit bummed by just the release day of it being the same day as Doomsday, the whole debacle. I won't get into that right now, but I should have been seeing this on the Xtreme. which is like the poor man's IMAX, like the major poor man's IMAX. But we can't even do that because the Extreme Theater is just all going to be Avengers Doomsday. I said I was getting into it, but I'm getting into it because I'm just salty still. But you know what? I get the recliners for this viewing, so I'll be comfortable at least. I am looking forward to that. I am excited to re-watch the first two and lead into this because I just love this world. Even though I haven't

read the books, I just love this world that Denis... specifically has like given us like they're just such epic adventures and um yeah i'm i am excited to see the rounding out of this tale i'm not gonna lie i feel like this will be my least favorite out of all of them um i i think it's still gonna be really well made and really epic just from what i think the story's gonna kind of be i feel like i'm just not gonna like it as much as i i like the build-up from the first movie of um you know, the Atreides family just getting, like, fucked over, and then, like, when Paul just gets all, like, jacked up and then comes back to kick ass, and, like, just, I really like that side of the story, whereas now

that we're getting into the realm of him gonna be just the, almost turning to, like, well, what is he saying this, like, the oppressor, like, the villain arc, I guess, of it. I feel like, just personally, I won't love that story as much as the other stuff, but who knows, maybe I'm going to be totally surprised, and it's going to be just totally blowing me away, I mean, the epic nature of the movie, I'm sure, is going to be just such a awesome wild ride, that's a big part why I love these adventures so much, and yeah, no, I hope it surprises me, just because, yeah, I feel like it'll be in that bottom slot out of the three, but I mean, that being said, those first two movies are still tens out of tens, so if this is like,

I could still see it getting a 10 out of 10, but maybe just my overall, like I already stated, with the story stuff, maybe I'll just like it a little bit less. Florence. We got a lot more Florence in here. We got Anya. I got so many reasons to be just pumped up. Robert Pattinson. He looks like such a fucking weirdo goofball character in this movie. I am excited to see him. We got Momoa back, which I don't know.

I feel like they're also showing a little bit too much, even though I don't know... anything really that's going to be happening. I just seen these scenes and I'm like, man, I could totally have gotten Johnny and Paul on the worm together in the movie for the first time. Like, I don't need to see that in the trailer. Like I understand there's, there's turmoil between the two lovers. Like I get that from the first trailer, but I mean, I'm usually just a hater of trailers when they show too much stuff. And especially when it's like, okay, I am going to see the movie no matter what. I didn't have to see any Dune trailers, but. I digress.

I am still excited for it. I think it still looks amazing. Yeah.

Perfect. I'll pull it up. Let's do it.

A little run through. Got the real slim Paul Atreides, Anakin Skywalker. You definitely, I don't know, if this is supposed to be 19 years after, do you think it's 19 years after?

Is that? I, this, he doesn't look, he's got the shaved head, but he doesn't necessarily look like the 19 years later kind of full effect. But I mean, he's got the Sith eyes going on. So this could be 18 years later.

But not 19.

Not 19. Give him another year.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. I, I don't think it'll, I don't think I'll feel like it's been 19 years, probably for all the characters, but we'll see. Can you hear anything?

I can hear it, yeah.

Okay. Oh, my God, it's loud. The bass.

It's, uh.

Tell me what you know!

That scared me again. Tell me! He's doing the voice.

Do you do this to Madison? Do you ever do this to Madison?

Yeah, in bed. Tell me!

Look at this fucking freak. Uh.

I love the hair, honestly. I love how he looks. It's so awesome. Pattinson? Yeah, it's just so... I can't even explain it.

I feel like he should be in, like, Austin Powers.

He should. Like, his forehead is so large. I love it.

I love it, man. I loved him, and honestly, I'm hoping that I'll love him here. Like, he's, like, the villain, but, like, they also don't really show him, like, being... I guess he's the antagonist to Paul, so maybe that's how he's supposed to be a villain, but he doesn't seem like a... austin butler type like psychotic character where it's like okay this guy's chaotic evil no.

He's obviously i'm getting the the gist that he's in the inner circle of paul atreides and he just wants to usurp her him and you know oust mutiny that kind of thing.

Okay but i don't even know what his name is like i know nothing about this character other than he's supposed to be somewhat of an antagonist we know.

That chani obviously is not in happy terms with paul atreides so does he go to chani or does chani go to him.

Uh, I think he goes to her.

He goes to her. Yeah.

How does he find her? Like, is she just popping in the, uh, the Paul bedroom window every once in a while?

I mean, I mean, they got two kids, so I mean, she's gotta be hanging around somewhere. She can't just be in a tent the whole time in the desert. You don't know that. We don't know the dynamic too, right? Because there's, he has the kids with Johnny, but then he's wanting to, marry the princess.

Yeah, it's for like a, what's the term? Like a political marriage type thing, right?

Political marriage, yeah.

So that he could become the emperor. She's the royal blood or whatever.

Yeah, but really he's still just like playing around on the side with Johnny.

Oh, that's how it was though, right? I mean, you've seen Game of Thrones. They have so many bastards and whatnot. They're just slinging down.

Yeah, that's true. So for a split second, I thought, well, what if he was one of the kids? But that wouldn't make sense because he's older than Timmy here, I'm pretty sure.

You don't know that. Maybe that's what happened since Paul drank the blue stuff in the last movie. Now his children, it's like six months and they just come out looking like this. That's why their foreheads are like that.

Yeah, something like that. Yeah.

I hope that is the case. I hope we just fucking nailed it right there.

I think people will be pretty upset, not going to lie.

Like, what the fuck is the matter with this third movie? These characters don't make any sense. Johnny's involved.

Oh, man. Is that Paul? Yeah.

I'm like 90% sure. I don't know for sure. If you're emperor, are you getting one of these done? I definitely am. I fucking am.

I do want to keep my hair on.

Massive cock. No, I'm kidding. Keep your hair in there.

I keep the hair.

Yeah. I mean, I feel like it would get weathered easier if you have hair because it would just be more things that can break off. Like I feel like the Eagle would probably break off. Cause I'm picturing like, I want it to last like the Egyptian pyramid length amount of time. Like that's, so I probably don't want to be standing. I like the sitting down strategy here.

I feel like that'll, that'll last longer. But talk about aura though. You just have a fucking monument to yourself.

How big is this? I'm assuming it's fucking massive.

Uh, yeah, it's tough to tell with the, scenario, or the scenery, sorry. I feel like....

Fuck, eh?

I feel like 100 feet.

At least 100 feet. I also feel like, okay, if you take over Arrakis, you avenge your house, and you're king of the world now, you don't want to be king of the galaxy, king of all of it. You don't want, and you're obviously looking for red flags, and you becoming an oppressor. I feel like this is a big fucking red flag, man. If people are building this ship, I like it, but This is sending the wrong message, man.

I think, am I a fucking oppressor now? Because this is obviously going to be 19 years later at this point in time. They didn't just whip this bad boy out post-Dune 2. I mean, they got advanced technology, but this is just, if this is his decision to do something like this, it just goes hand in hand with him just reeling in and just salivating on that, you know, conquering. Mm-hmm.

energy to him. And I don't even know why he becomes corrupt. Is it stuff like this? Just the image, the power?

I have no idea. I think he's just reaching too far. Like he's just the emperor of everything, more or less. And then what's the quote? Absolute power corrupts absolute, or more or less something along those lines.

Yeah, you got it.

Did you hear anything I just said?

Yeah, I don't know.

And see, that's another thing that I'm like, am I really going to buy like the, the turn? Is it going to be too much of a stretch? Like, is it going to feel like it happens too fast? I feel like that's something that's in the back of my mind where maybe I won't really love the most in the movie, but I don't know. That's just, just some thoughts I have. Hopefully, uh, hopefully, hopefully it's amazing.

Yeah.

Definitely an ego, ego move though. Doing that. If that's his decision, but maybe it's not his decision.

Maybe it's his, his PR Johnny's decision.

I want a giant fucking statue of you just looking like a dictator up on that throne with a big eagle.

Whatever happens, you must survive.

Who's she talking to here?

I'm assuming that's the princess. Florence? Oh, no. It's a fucking fake out. I'm telling you who it is. I'll tell you who it is. It's Anya Taylor-Joy. I was thinking that also. Yeah, they wanted to put down Atreides, right? And now it's like, okay, here she is. It's like she's got the chance to kind of.

It's a really massive deal, right? That Rebecca Ferguson's character was pregnant with a female at the end of that last movie. Is she born in the last movie? I can't remember now.

No, but you got that quick little fast forward scene of Taylor Joyce standing out there.

Yeah. No, I'm with you. I'm with you. I think that is what it's going to be. Yeah. I can't wait to get on you, man. I'm excited. What was the last thing we saw her in?

What was? Mario.

It's not Furio.

Mario 2.

Okay, I guess Mario.

I guess.

Okay. Didn't see her in that, but I heard her, I guess. I like their outfits here. They look like Power Ranger villains or something.

They kind of do. This is the second time we've seen the fucking Darth Revan capsule floating around there. Yeah. So I wonder what the point of that thing is to be tailing around. And is that the witch lady standing around there? Or is that Anya Taylor-Joy, the princess?

I think this is Anya. I think this is Anya right here.

Okay.

Because she's covered in blood, right?

Oh, she is in blood. Yeah, all the deadies around her.

I don't think that we see these guys in the scene that comes afterwards.

Oh, yeah.

There you go. Okay. If you just press play, I guess it shows her there.

It's like that scene in The Mummy when Imhotep is caught. And the guards, the Magi, push the door open. They're all standing there looking at him.

Your arm. Isn't that scene? Isn't that scene?

That scene, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. And Noxunamoon.

Noxunamoon, yeah. Now, I'm down for creative ships, but these ships.

They're kind of derpy, eh?

I don't know. I don't know, man. They look like the bases that land in Halo Wars when you're building ships.

Oh, yeah. They look like books. They look like flying books.

They do. Yeah.

Not a fan.

No. And, I mean, it's a rich universe. We've seen some cool, cool ships.

Oh, yeah. Remember the Emperor's, like, palace ship at the end of the last movie?

Yeah, that was super cool.

But these are obviously just... Tomes. Yeah.

Carrying lots of soldiers for, I guess, very quick, easy invasion.

Here comes the phone books. Like, fuck.

And so this is Atreides' forces, right? Mm-hmm. Oh, there's your dude here, and he's killing samurais.

I'm here. More deep.

Now that... Oh, my God. Magnificent, aren't they? You know, holy fuck.

Yeah. Oh, right?

Yeah.

Or also Two Towers, Saruman, when he's looking out on his horses. Very similar. They got their arms in the air. It's so dictator-y with the flags and everything.

And he's got a different name here, right? The fucking subtitle is just wrong. Muad'Dib?

Muad'Dib was... That was his name that he got when he was with the Fremen. They called him Wadip. It was like Sand Mouse or something like that.

Oh, okay, okay.

That's what it stood for.

Sand Mouse.

Yeah.

I think.

It's something along those lines. That was his name, though. Look at that head.

Some scars. Rough.

Those ships are cool.

Oh, the scale. I'll give this kudos. The scale. Oh, there you go.

So it looks like he comes out the deserts to meet her, eh?

Mm-hmm. There you go.

That's Pattinson here.

Yeah.

Friendly keep their word. Friendly keep their word. Like, fucking look at this guy. Add that guy in Call of Duty.

Those eyebrows.

They put Dune characters in Call of Duty.

Yeah. And Austin Butler.

Yeah, they had Austin Butler.

What do we do? Yeah, so he's in that. They'll throw this guy in there for sure.

That forehead, man. It's just gnarly.

That's a good soundtrack.

Yeah, like, this is gonna be epic in the theaters. Like, this seems old when he has the hair, right? Like, that's supposed to be the signifier of, like, the time jumps, I would imagine.

That's right, that's right.

And they're knocking boots.

Yeah. After years of combat. I've become the oppressor, Johnny.

It's one to fight. Yeah, dude, this is going to look so good. I need some eye drops. What's that? Is that like the children are gone or something? Like, what is this?

Oh, yeah, their house.

She looks pretty broken.

Oh, oh, maybe he killed the children or... He took the children and left.

He's like, I could take five every 30 seconds. Keep sending them in.

That's right.

Man, I'm so ready for this score. Look at these thrones, too. I just love the look of it. Oh, my God. I'm fucking closing everything.

The outfits are pretty sweet. The princess is behind him. Who do you think is sitting there or kneeling there?

That's Dum Dum Dugan, whatever the fuck his name is, Duncan Idaho.

What? Duncan Idaho?

Yeah, that's Momoa's character.

Momoa, are you sure?

Because he died in the previous movie.

Yeah, but watch the next scene, though. Oh. Look at Momoa, what he's wearing. Oh, no, you're right. Ah, fuck me. He's kneeling. Fuck do I know. Let's try it.

But, like, he did die already, so, like, they don't explain why he's back, you know?

That's true. That's true, yeah.

It would have been cool to kind of have that reveal in the movie.

Yeah.

IMO, but we'll see.

I can't see what's ahead.

Can't see what's ahead, Taylor. What is your purpose?

Oh, yeah. Oh! Oh yeah. Oh!

Joaquin Phoenix. I'm gonna play it right now. Like, who is in that sarcophagi?

God, I don't know. I'm doing this for you.

Dope.

There's nothing I can say to make amends. That's Anakin. Yeah.

You brought him here to kill me. And then they're hugging.

Yeah, man, I'm hyped.

It's gonna be goosebumps. Yeah. Yeah.

I stand by it. Like the trailer is, it is hype. It's pretty awesome. And that definitely has me.

I did warn you. I warned you it was coming. I warned you it was coming at some point.

Oh man. That was a well placed one. Yeah. Again, ladies and gentlemen, we're doing back-to-back. It's going to be a long day. We're seeing Avengers Doomsday at 1, and then we're seeing the evening showing. So on a Thursday. So it's going to be a hell of a day, but really looking forward to it. Oh, yeah. Cool. Anything else you want to add to the trailer? Thoughts?

No.

I'm ready.

Cool.

All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to move on to our next topic, and we're going to take an ad break. So we'll be right back.

0:00 / 0:00
