In this episode of our Patreon exclusive show, Jaime, and Patrick discuss David Lynch's divisive yet visually arresting film, Dune.
Dune, released in 1984, was the culmination of years of struggle to bring Frank Herberts seminal novel to the big screen. Notable attempts include the now storied Jodorowsky version which fell apart during pre-production.

Enhance...ENHANCE... We've all heard those words in countless films. In this second episode of our Tech Spotlight, highlighting the technology and hardware of the Blade Runner films, Patrick and Dan dive into the design and use of the Esper machine that our disgruntled detective uses to track down the escaped Replicants. The conversation took a few turns we weren't necessarily expecting, and Rutger Hauer even chimes in on what he said was his favorite scene in the 1982 classic.

Damien Chazelle's fourth film, First Man, was undeniably one of 2018's best. The VFX team won the Oscar for their unparalleled work in bringing the Earth and the Moon to life with stunning realism and breathtaking photography. Based on James Hansen's biography, the film takes us beyond the Gemini and Apollo programs' achievements and moves inward, to an intimate portrayal of Armstrong's personal life and family struggles.
Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy's performances are as haunting as they are beautiful, and the quiet, atmospheric style of their portrayal has left us with a film that is certainly one of the best of the decade.
Join Dan, Jaime, and Patrick in our discussion of what we love (and what we don't love) about this incredible cinematic masterpiece.

In Christopher Nolan's 2010 blockbuster, Inception, themes we are familiar with from science fiction are explored in a unique and visually-stunning way.
Winner of four Oscars, with a star-studded cast and incredible performances, as well as one of Hanz Zimmer's best scores (in Dan's opinion), this film asks of us the BIG questions: what is the nature of our reality? Can what we dream be real? If you had unlimited time with your loved ones, what would you build? What would you explore?
Wildly-successful, this film has something for everyone; but while it's easy to watch it as a heist/Bond sci-fi-action movie, that's just scratching the surface.
Join Dan, Patrick, and Jaime as they take a deep dive into one of their favorite films.
