In our latest episode, regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by Emmy Award winning producer and director, Rob Schroeder. We discuss the breakout role for Dune’s Duke Leto himself, Oscar Isaac, in the 2013 Coen Brothers masterpiece, Inside Llewyn Davis. We discuss the dangers of demanding artistic purity, great achievements in music, and marvel at the majesty of John Goodman.
We're also launching the Dune Pod Charity Fundraiser for Texas Foodbanks in light of the recent severe storms. We’ll be matching contributions up to $5,000 to do our part to help out and we hope you’ll join us. Details below.
