For the movie goer and movie lover, Always the Critic Podcast is a group of friends discussing and reviewing everything from box office juggernauts to indie sleeper hits to throwback favorites.
No film degrees, no connections, no experience necessary because when it comes to film, we’re “always the critic.”
On Episode 267 of the Always the Critic Podcast, we head back to spice world of Arrakis for a review of Dune: Part 2, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, and Florence Pugh.
Rico (https://www.alwaysthecriticpod.com/rico-albarracin) and Jess (https://www.alwaysthecriticpod.com/jessica-firpi) discuss this masterful sequel from prestige director Denis Villenueve, talking through the haunting anti-hero story, the world building and culture building, the performances and characters (justice for Chani!), the amazing score from Hans Zimmer, the most impactful scenes, 2024 Oscar predictions (what could have been had Dune 2 premiered in November 2023!), and more in spoilers.
