1 Year Anniversary of the Dune IMAX Sneak Preview Event
ON THE 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY(!) of one of the greatest days in Dune Pod history, join us for this special re-presentation of one of our greatest episodes: that time Danny Haas joined us for the Dune IMAX Sneak Preview Event! We were hype with 4 months to go before we could finally see the movie, but got to see the first 10 minutes and lost our shit. Also Jason was generally out of his mind upon his first return to the theater in 2 years, and Haitch organized the line and befriends(?) staff and attendees alike. Check it out!
In our latest episode, regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by co-host of the 70mm podcast, and famous artist Danny Haas. We’ve seen the first 10 minutes of Dune, another pivotal scene from the film, and behind the scenes interviews with Denis, Hans, and the whole cast of the film. We also had the opportunity to make some new friends at the San Francisco screening, and include some in line interviews with fellow dune heads. It was a great day.
