This interviewer needs a raise. She asks such great questions that only a true fan of Dune could think of. I can feel her passion for the film through these interviews.

[@roknboker]

I was telling my wife - I really enjoyed Maude as an interviewer so much!

[@Penguinverse]

Yeah she is clearly a fan lol. Nice to know the interviewer has fully delved into the material they're talking about!

[@Teyl1]

Maude is a legit nerd, check out her older/other work on Geek bomb. I've been following her since the midline of 2016 (give or take when she was brought in to sourcefed back in the day.)

[@CUATROMORCE]

shes derpy in all the right ways.

[@thecompanioncube4211]

Agreed. Glad to see someone more nuanced than asking the cast about their diet and exercise routine to get fit for the role

[@rileymcphee9429]

Rebecca Ferguson really fascinates me. She seems like such a layered chaos. Definitely someone who knows how to trash an apartment.

Dave Bautista understood Frank Herbert. This makes me so happy.

Dave Bautista Needs a role of a father who tries his best to be confident, but deep down is a broken man scared by failures. He would be perfect for that depth. the way he understands his role about portraying the cowardness is great. exactly like the book. he understood the assignment well

Definitely one of the best fan service that didnt happened in the book

[@TarEcthelion]

Maude killed it in these. I think outside of Denis, Dave, Florence, and Zandaya few could keep up. I'm not sure if it was the circumstances around the interview and/or the Actors were anxious to get through it. But the questions were so much better than many of the answers. Absolutely a stacked cast, great people all around. Going to love this film. Josh seems like a sweetheart. Can't wait.

[@TarEcthelion]

To be fair, Stellan was also good. I should have mentioned him also.

[@tovolume]

Dave Bautista is my favorite and I liked listening to his interesting story

@@gabrielp9646 Well, actors are there to interpret a character rather than create one. Plus, as far as they're concerned their involvement ended months ago & most are working on another movie by the time these interviews happen.

[@mione134]

Maude Garrett is simply the best. Been a fan since her Sourcefed and SourcefedNerd days.
