21 - Caitlin has a theory

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/07/14

(Chapters 28 &29) We find out where Gurney ended up and then Paul and Jessica see their first worm-mouth! Caitlin has her first Dune theory which I totally support but she gets real angry that I'm not supporting it hard enough. At least that's my interpretation of why she got so salty. Don't worry, we still love each other. It's all in good fun. Check out our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/mgbrdcanoworms/discussion --- Send in a voice message:

20 - Finally some worms!

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/07/07

(Chapter 27) Paul and Jessica have some trouble with sand in the desert. I feel like its going to be really important for them to get a handle on their sand-skills. Caitlin feels like Jessica is doing a little better in this chapter. Paul is having some very teen-like problems with his newfound talents and powers. Is it time for him to go back to school? We're like half-way through the book, guys! Oh and also, as kind of a trigger warning, you should know that Caitlin describes a really nasty

19 - Rabban bam thank you, ma'am

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/06/29

The Baron thinks Paul and Jessica are dead. No one could have survived that sandstorm! He wants to send Rabban in to rule Arrakis. But the Rabban seems not quite as dumb as he looks. Should the Baron be scheming less and listening more? Also the usual BS from us about whatever. Join us on Facebook!

18 - Fremen? Dang near killed em'!

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/06/25

(Chapter 25, I said 24 in the show but I was wrong.) Son of a biscuit-eater! Sorry for the delayed release everybody. We were out of town for the weekend and our rhythm got all thrown off. Anyways, an interesting chapter. Caitlin lost some faith in a certain character, Paul came to an accord with Kynes, and the whole book takes a decidedly patriarchal turn, Caitlin says. Do I agree? listen to find out! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dunegirlfriend/message

17 - Thufir, you Sardaukar about your wounded men

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/06/16

(Chapters 23 &24) First there was some further getting-dug-out of the sand for Jessica and Paul, and then there was a Thufir chapter that Caitlin actually liked! Shiz's getting weird. These Fremen don't play around and we are getting to see that first hand. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dunegirlfriend/message

16 - First Book Over!

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/06/09

(Chapter 22) Paul's body and mind is going through a transition and we're not talking about puberty. Although his voice IS changing. We review some musicals up top. Not sure why we did that. Then we get into the nitty-gritty of Paul and Jessica in a still-tent, doing some prescient navel-gazing. And also our unasked-for thoughts on BLM (for). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dunegirlfriend/message

15 - Often Off Topic!

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/06/02

(Chapters 20 &21) Depending on what you like, this might be our best episode ever or our worst episode ever. We were a little tipsy and also off-topic a lot. The Duke was captured, killed Piter and himself with that darn tooth. The Sarduakar act like jerky badasses, the Baron does the ole' eat-n-gloat. But he's also worried that shit is going sideways. We hear about Caitlin's dreams of me burning alive and also what the founders of Sociology think about circular arguments (into them!) ---

14 - Bene Gesserit Kickyboos

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/05/29

(chapters 18 & 19) Caitlin made a big mess in the bathroom trying to put up string lights to create a nice atmosphere for Epsom salt baths. That's what happens when you flout Arrakeen water conservation practices. The betrayal is in and the plot of the book begins, 200 pages in. What Hogwarts House are all the major characters in? What time is the best time to assassinate someone with a tooth? Find out on this exciting episode of... this podcast. --- Send in a voice message:

2020/05/21

(Chapter 17) Can’t take Idaho to a hotel, Idaho tell everybody... That Jessica’s a Harkonnen spy! Our gal hears that and knows just who she needs to get weird with: Thufir! We recorded this one in the closet so let us know how it sounds. We got a lil silly.

12 - It's My Party and I'll Truth-sense If I Want To

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/05/14

(Chapter 16) The Duke throws a party for a bunch of rude assholes. The Guild banker in particular almost Soo-soo-sudios himself into one of Kyne's signature Fremen style ass-whoopings. Jessica looks stunning in warm colors and Paul is the perfect little gentleman and made his parents so proud. Prophesies you guys! Caitlin relates hard-core to the dinner convo, and she isn't fooled for a minute that Paul isn't the Kwizatz Haderach. Hey guys thanks for listening! If you like our show please tell

11 - Kynesly Liet Me Off This Spicecrawler

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/05/11

(Chapter 15) Stillsuits! Sandworms! Action and prophesy! I think subconsciously I thought this would be the one to get Caitlin on-board the Dune train. WHen will I learn? The Duke, Paul and Gurney take an ornithopter tour of a spice-mining operation with Dr. Kynes, Imperial Planetologist and not-so-secret Fremen buddy. What's his game? Why do the Fremen treat him with such deference? And why are all Dune-Men looking at Paul like he's some kind of Mahdi? We talk about all this and more on a special

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/05/07

(Chapters 13 &14) The epic bro-down continues and Caitlin longs for some more Jessica chapters. Paul and Duke Leto have some father-son bonding, and Paul continues to have adult-hood thrust upon him. Cats and home-improvement are discussed. Does the Duke really suspect Lady Jessica is the traitor?! C'mon! You know our guy better than that! But can he fool his enemies?

9 - Meeting Facilitation

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/05/03

(Chapters 11 & 12) It's starting to look like the ole' Duke's plans just aren't up to snuff. At least that's what Paul thinks. Caitlin asks a very good question: Is Paul really a genius, or just a know-it-all teen? Nice weather didn't deter us from these two fairly bureaucratic chapters of DUNE.

(chapters 9 & 10) Wow! I am so impressed by Caitlin's retention in this ep! I didn't mention it on the recording but it was pretty cool. Her memory MIGHT have been enhanced by the fact that some actual physical shit actually happened in these two chapters. Paul is playing opossum again in his delightful new bedroom when an attempt on his GD LIFE is made by persons unknown. Meanwhile, Jessica finds a super sweet wet-garden room (mega design-inspo!) containing a cryptic warning. TRIGGER WARNING:

7 - Blockhead Stick-Figure

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/04/25

(Chapter 8) Sigh... I'm coming to terms with the actual premise of this podcast. Caitlin is still begrudging. I guess my fantasy was that at this point she would be all in on the Duneiverse. Alas, reality. I really freaking liked this chapter! Such tension! But I think a lot of the drama I am perceiving comes from the fact that I have read the book before and I know what they are foreshadowing. The grand tragedy you guys! Caitlin ain't feeling it. Jessica and Yueh have good talks about their feels

6 - Opposite Sex Unmarried Partner

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/04/19

(chapter 7) Lady Jessica (The Duke's OSUP) is unpacking some shit in their new home on Arrakis after their big trip through space. Because that's what Dune likes to focus on right now: the stuff that happens either before or after the exciting stuff. NOT COMPLAINING! She talks to the Duke and then meets her first Fremen, The Shadout Mapes. Caitlin doesn't think we were very funny this episode. Perhaps we weren't or perhaps she just was too into the metaphysical stuff and got serious. That's okay too

5 - Dune Boner

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/04/16

(chapters 5 &6) Well well well... Looks like Caitlin was kinda interested in these two "chapters". As for me, I had really enjoyed these pages. Paul talks to Dr. Yueh, whom we have been assured is his family's betrayer, and also (dun dun duuuun!) Paul's Dad DUKE LETO! Lots of politics and planning. And sandworms, and talkin bout Fremen! And we also digress about some stuff I don't remember. If you want to contact us and rap about Dune or whatever, email us at dunegirlfriend@gmail.com or leave us

(chapter 4) Oh boy was Caitlin not interested in this chapter! I tried you guys, but she would not be corralled. We talk about who plays the roles of Gurney, Thufir and Paul in our heads, and where they lie on the cat-dog-cake-pie axis. Laura Kington is our brief special guest weighing in on some hot pie topics. IDK what to tell you guys, we were having margaritas. More sobering Dune discussion next time maybe.

3 - Virgin Whore

My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune ·

2020/04/09

(chapter 3) Lady Jessica and the Reverend Mother discuss the troubles that lie ahead for Paul. Paul gets mad that they both say his dad is gonna die on Dune. What is a boy to do? Caitlin once again gets design inspo from the interiors, and has many feels about what it means to be a Bene Gesserit. And we digress several times.
