'Dune 2' + Oscars Reflection + 'Adaptation': Film of 2002

This week the boys discuss ‘Dune 2’ a week after digesting Denis Villeneuve's epic film, we offer a few brief Oscars thoughts, then head back to film school for ‘Adaptation’: Films of 2002. They discuss Charlie Kaufman writing himself into his script, Spike Jonze blessing the script during the filming of ‘Being John Malkovich’- How did he have time to read a script while directing a movie??-  John’s close connection to Jonathan Demme’s former producing partner, Jeff’s college essay on the film, Brad Pitt’s self-tape for the Chris Cooper role, Meryl Streep winning an AARP award, Nic Cage giving his two best performances, and whether or not Dave thinks the film is crap. We drink beer and keep it positive!
