Season 10 Episode 1: Dune as Pulp, Dune as S&S!

Welcome, Cromrades! We embark upon a new season centered on Frank Herbert's Dune! Please join us as we start down the Road to Arrakis! In this episode we talk about the Golden Age of SF, the 3 B's (Bims, BEMs, and Bums), and how Dune breaks that mold of foundational science fiction pulps!
One Things
Jon: Jonah Hex, by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti
Josh: The Iron Lords, written by Andrew J. Offutt
Luke: 12 Monkeys, directed by Terry Gilliam

Otherwise, if you are looking for some context for the correspondence and narrative outlined here, seek out the The Road to Dune by Herbert, Anderson, and Herbert.
