The first season of Dune: Prophecy is about to begin on HBO Max, and Elysia is joined by Luke and David to set the stage – first with an exclusive three-way conversation about the world-building of this prequel set 10,000 years before the original book and films, and then (00:24:50) with recap and analysis of a novella set not long before the show, featuring some of the same characters – "Imperial Court" from Sands of Dune (2022).
How ugly could this Atreides-Harkonnen blood feud get? What was Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong's character) like in his younger years? What dangers await in the jungles of Rossak, where the school of the Sisterhood can be found? Answers, or at least teases, await.
Then, continue the conversation with David & Elysia's Dune: Prophecy preview pod on the Lorehounds feed.

This year's Wool-Shift-Dust Halloween special is keeping with the season of the witch, flashing back to Elysia and her friend Katherine's high-school days with the girls-will-be-girls horror classic The Craft (1996) – plus, for the full context, the 2020 sequel / reboot The Craft: Legacy. (We watched that film so you don't have to...but here are some reasons you might want to anyway.)
We start with a spoiler-free discussion the production and impact of these movies, plus our overall feelings, before plunging into spoilers for first the original film (00:31:09) and then the new one (01:14:44).

Elysia and Luke look back on the two seasons of Beacon 23 as a whole as we take our last beacon-based deep dive (for now, hopefully) into the final two episodes of season 2: episodes 7 ("Free") and 8 ("Disintegration").
What exactly happened with Harmony; what did we learn about these characters and this world; who would we Join, Jail, or Jettison; and who is the most murderous AI of them all – we attempt to answer everything!

In this quickie intro episode to The Star Wars Canon Timeline Podcast, you’ll learn not only what all those words mean (in the context of Star Wars), but also how this podcast works – how this experiment in creating a chronological timeline amidst a chaotic release order will unfold, and what to expect from the journey.
I break down the 9 eras of Star Wars history we’re covering – starting thousands of years in the past, through weekly releases of the upcoming series The Acolyte – as well as what kinds of guests to expect, essential Star Wars timeline lingo, and how this podcast is designed for both old fans and fresh faces who are Star Wars-curious.
This Is the Way.

Happy Holidays from Wool-Shift-Dust! In this winter special, Elysia and Luke explore one of the original alternate timeline stories: the iconic It's a Wonderful Life (1946), plus the other films it spawned – including remake It Happened One Christmas (1977), the amusingly terrible unofficial sequel Clarence (1990), and the looser remakes It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas (2002), The Christmas Spirit (2013), and the 2023 horror comedy It's a Wonderful Knife. Don't worry if you haven't seen any of them – we'll recap them all, and then talk about why you should care, and all the good, the bad, and the ugly within.
Also, Elysia explains "The Greatest Gift," the short story It's a Wonderful Life is based on, (with a special performance by DeadEyeJediBob) – plus the song "Auld Lang Syne" – in the Wool-Shift-Dust Book Club.
