YummmMMMmmm! Is what I'd say if I liked Marmite and I was eating some, but I DON'T and I'm NOT and you can't make me. We're joined by John Hodgman, the writer, comedian, podcaster , and internationally beloved New Englander, to discuss one of Britain's most polarizing brown pastes. What is it made of? Why does it taste like that? Do people only like it or hate it, or is it sometimes just sort of 'fine? Plus, some very violent football that only happens on Shrove Tuesday (we do explain what Shrove Tuesday is too, so don't fret). Your lucky ass can WATCH this episode for FREE on YouTube too!

The sleeper must awaken. The filmography must contain a flop. We’ve arrived at the Planet Arrakis aka the Desert Planet aka DUNE (1984) - David Lynch’s attempt at wrangling Frank Herbert’s space epic into a single studio blockbuster. Did it work? Not really.

We talk about Lynch’s decision to turn down directing Return of the Jedi, the differences between Lynch’s take on Dune and Denis Villeneuve’s more critically successful version, and David finally gets the chance to let his Fremen freak flag fly by going FULL NERD.
