    Colin Powell will never get to see Dune, a movie about a delusional drugged up failson who pursues a vendetta to avenge his dad in a resource rich colony and ends up stoking the forces of jihad.

        Ha!! I'd wager Powell knew Dune quite well.

        Thanks the laugh staved off the imminent insanity I’m facing from all the gaslighting.

        I was in the middle of reading Dune when 9/11 occurred. It made me think more deeply about the region, our actions there and why folks might be upset with us.

        Powell is Gurney Halleck right?

        did you see it yet? it was weirdly out in Denmark over a month ago--I just listened to the first half of your podcast a couple of weeks ago, and am looking forward to hearing what you two think of the actual film

        David has seen (and reviewed well in TNR). I haven't yet. Will do a follow up once I see.

        After high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. Because of Black men like Collin Powell, who broke barriers, big supporter of democracy who handled himself impeccably with Grace. I tried to get into the US military & serve. I am very sad of his passing. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/ugUoReak5l
