Dr. Kara Kennedy aka Dune Scholar returns to Dune Talk for a special discussion, ahead of publishing her latest book Adaptations of Dune. We're exploring three existing movie and TV versions of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic—Dune (1984) by David Lynch, Sci-Fi Channel's Frank Herbert's Dune (2000), and Dune: Part One (2021) by Denis Villeneuve—with eclectic questions from Garin, Johnny, Marcus, and Mark. Which of these screen adaptations is most faithful to the original novel?
