My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune

by Sean Calhoun

My girlfriend doesn't care at all about the science-fiction novel Dune, by Frank Herbert. But I love it. In the spirit of... something, she has agreed to read Dune chapter by chapter and talk about it with me.

41 - THE FINAL EPISODE

55m · Published 10 Dec 22:39

...Probably. 

What will history remember you as? I mean it's the end of the book. Should I even tell you guys anything about it?

Thank you all for enjoying this podcast all the way through! We love you guys! Stay subscribed for further announcements. Caitlin and I are always cooking up new projects, and I really do think we will eventually get around to doing a My Boyfriend (or husband) Begrudgingly Reads *some book about emotional intelligence or fighting white supremacy*.

If you REALLY want to check out more of our stuff, I am doing a new podcast with my buddy Rob called The Podcalypse, where we talk about Apocalyptic movies.

I also have a Youtube channel where I sometimes put up cartoons I make and my standup: Sean Calhoun - YouTube

See you soon and thanks for the memories!

40 - Caitlin is vibrating with excitement

43m · Published 10 Dec 22:09

... Because she almost doesn't have to read any more Dune! This is the last chapter, part 1. Paul's in the fish-tent and all's right with the world. But he's suddenly kind of a dick? What does this bode for the sequel books that, and I've checked, Caitlin will NEVER read?

39 - Alia the killer creep

51m · Published 10 Dec 22:06

This one goes out to my man Jordan on the MGBRD Can O' Worms Facebook group! Thanks for wanting to hear more eps, brother. We’re inside the golden fish tent and we get to meet the Emperor for the first time. Nice. We also get to see the Emperor make the Baron squirm. Excellent. Then Alia shows up. Exquisite!

38 - Planning is for nerds

46m · Published 07 Dec 14:20
We’re back! And we’ve got all the final episodes recorded. Here they come. In the third-to-last chapter, Paul, Stilgar Gurney look out over the Emperor’s fish-tent. THE EMPEROR IS ON DUNE! No women in this chapter. You can guess how Caitlin feels about that. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dunegirlfriend/message

37 - Dream Warriors

54m · Published 06 May 22:41

(Chapter 45) We're back in business after a looong hiatus, and we've only got a few more chapters left to go Chani and Jessica reunite because Paul has gone into a coma. What has that l'il scamp been up to?! Hey, he hasn't been trying to change the water of life has he? But only two types of people can do that: a Bene Gesserit reverend mother or the Kwizatz Haderach. He's dead for sure. But wait what's this, he's waking up and he's ready for action? Look out Universe!

Also: The movie Go, what'cha been reading Sean?, shitty comedy shows, and much more! (Seriously, we start talking about Dune at about 19 minutes in so feel free to scrub ahead if you're feeling soapy.)

36 - Jessica and Gurney meet again

43m · Published 09 Feb 16:55

(Chapter 44) In this chapter, Gurney and Jessica get back together, sparks fly, some strategies are talked about, and the Fremen decided Who's The Boss.

Also: Caitlin's favorite serial killer, Reconstruction, Our cat Scout biting my feet (see pics on Twitter @my_dune), and we might have to change the name of the podcast for accuracy...

35 - On their feet m'Lord

58m · Published 01 Feb 18:58

(Chapter 43) Boy this chapter is like in Home Alone when Kevin's mom finally sees him in their giant rich-people house after she's been flying for a whole week. Gurney is reunited with Paul! But he's still harboring a knuckle-sandwich for Jessica. And there were Sardaukar embedded with the smugglers the whole time! What a twist!

Also: Keep your Dune song parodies away from Spongebob! And Listeners, where does the Pareto Principle apply in your life? Are you 20% impressed when 80% of an acrobat's feet are on 20% of another acrobat's feet? Let us know @my_dune on Twitter!

34 - Worm Surfin' FINALLY

52m · Published 14 Jan 18:23

(Chapter 42) WELL WELL WELL! Look what giant invertebrate decided to show up and grace us with their being ridden! TOOK YA LONG ENOUGH! Paul Utah grabs his worm-board and catches some sweet worm-segments. It's like a whole lifestyle, brah. You won't understand it until you try it yourself. But Bodie Stilgar thinks Paul still has a lot to learn about worm riding. And maybe they need to fight to the death soon?

Also: Adding girl-power to things, the proper use of leverage in romantic relationships, worms in other media, the have-dinner-with-everyone-alive-or-dead, and which cult would you want to be in?

33 - Alia's masterclass on devastating burns

51m · Published 03 Jan 21:32

(Chapter 41) We're in the south with some of the Fremen ladies, working hard and missin' our guys.  Alia is straight-up dunking on Harah in front of everyone, but Harah knows it comes from a place of love. Kinda sweet!

Also: Caitlin is confused by QAnon (who isn't?), is Alia exactly like the E-trade baby, and I get distracted by the cats.

Come talk to me at @my_dune on twitter and search for us on Facebook!
