I’m joined by Empire’s very own Geek Queen Helen O’Hara to talk about the science-fiction epic, Dune. Released in 1965 by Frank Herbert, Dune explores the world of Arrakis, a harsh desert planet filled with intrigue, deception, giant worms, space politics (the good kind not the Phantom Menace kind) and so much more! It’s a novel that changed science-fiction and fantasy stories and it’s influence can be seen in countless other stories ever since its release. It’s had a variety of on-screen adaptations and with the latest effort soon to be released, I thought who better to explain the sci-fi phenomenon than Helen O’Hara. Helen’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/HelenLOHaraBe sure to check out Helen’s fantastic book Women vs Hollywood: The Fall and Rise of Women in FilmAudible -  https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Women-vs-Hollywood-Audiobook/1405550589?ref=a_author_He_c9_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=82bb5fbf-e002-4fc5-b76c-dcbb48521205&pf_rd_r=FXF859NVEZBY5C667VGBAmazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Women-Hollywood-Fall-Rise-Film/dp/1472144430Waterstones -  https://www.waterstones.com/book/women-vs-hollywood/helen-ohara/9781472144430Women vs Hollywood PodcastApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/is/podcast/women-vs-hollywood-with-helen-ohara/id1540573727Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7fAAZT6FYWBcKrMAbKyppa?si=jRdfAGP4REKgE1Utwty57A&dl_branch=1Acast -  https://shows.acast.com/bah-humbug/episodes/women-vs-hollywood-trailerEmpire PodcastEmpire Online: https://www.empireonline.com/podcasts/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-empire-film-podcast/id507987292Spotify -  https://open.spotify.com/show/5WtA4Y7DFbQzkj42B2zxfbAcast - https://play.acast.com/s/theempirefilmpodcastFandomentals Social Media Donate to the Podcast - https://ko-fi.com/fandomentalspodcastTeePublic Store - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/fandomentals-podcast?ref_id=25862Twitter - https://twitter.com/fandomentalspodInstagram - https://instagram.com/fandomentalspodEmail – [email protected] Artwork Designed by Alex JenkinsWebsite - www.hexdesigns.orgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/hexshadowTwitter - https://twitter.com/hexghostsThank you for checking out this episode and be sure to subscribe for more content!
