The Chronicle Podcast Episode 27 - Dune: Part 2 & Origin

It’s time for another fine episode of The Chronicle Film Podcast, our official Podcast! Our critics Paul and Clotilde. For episode 027, they will review Dune: Part Two and Origin.

First up is Origin from director Ava Duvernay (Selma) starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson, along side Jon Bernthal. It’s actually based on her seminal book “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” she wrote whilst coping with personal tragedy. The unspoken system that has shaped America and chronicles how lives today are defined by a hierarchy of human divisions.

The second and final review is much anticipated sequel to Denis Villeneuve‘s 2021 film Dune, Dune: Part Two.

Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavours to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee. Paul now living on Arakis and living with the Fremen. His nightmares and visions seem to be increasing of his prophesized future.
