Kate and I continue in this ambitious podcast as she continues to take me down to her personal singularity: INTERSTELLAR is a triumphant film. I remain on the event horizon, unwilling to be mentally dilated by her arguments and concerned about the questionable leaps that director Christopher Nolan makes. Do we find a compromise or equilibrium, even a stable orbit of sorts, or is our decades-long friendship heading towards a dramatic depressurization, perhaps even supernova? Find out at the very end of the episode. “Love, TARS.”

After a long hiatus, The Pork Chop Express with Lee is back with the first of a new two-part episode with Kate White, a high school friend, sci-fi enthusiast, and defender of one of Christopher Nolan's most controversial films. This podcast was actually ten years in the making when Lee used to post on Facebook with reckless abandon, and apparently he crossed a line with Kate on this one. Yet after a decade, do his opinions remain? Can Kate's optimistic outlook thaw a heart that's colder than the icy clouds of Mann's planet? Or is the gravity of his thoughts as powerful as the ones that create skyscraper-high tidal waves on Miller's Planet?

"Love, TARS, love."

The conversation continues! In Part 2, my guest SJ Murdock and I finally get to the main topic: Dune Part Two (released in March 2024). We don't just review the film - SJ and I talk about mentats, fighting exclusively with sword, metal bikinis, the Bene Tleilaxu, Bene Gesserit anti-feminism, and whether the Golden Path is unfolding into the next likely film based on Dune Messiah. If you're just getting into Dune, this might be an overwhelming conversation for you. Otherwise, come join us as we go sietch-deep into the known universe.
