Episode 8: Snug Trousers with a Suggestion of Bell at the Bottom
Things are starting to get spicy in Dune, in more ways than one. In this week’s reading we get a glimpse into the lives of the evil Harkonnens and their evil ways. We are reminded that they are evil. Count Fenring tells a killer joke neither of our hosts “get.” Next is the ceremony for the Reverend Mother which, if Kris and Alia are not mistaken, ends in an all out orgy. Seriously?
