Weekly Recap: Dune: Part 2, Problemista, Perfect Days & More!
Same content, new space - Here's the beginning of the Substack version of The Code is Zeek, featuring Weekly Recaps, Out Now with Aaron and Abe episodes, and more! First main topic: Dune: Part Two
So, first things first - things have changed a bit. Based on the way various sites have either ended or changed how they function, it made things much easier to consolidate and set up this Substack space to keep The Code Is Zeek going. I think it looks pretty good (and it’s all completely free, I might add), so here we are with the official “New” debut post, and what better way to begin than to focus on Dune: Part Two! I have a review for this massive film and thoughts on smaller releases such as Problemista, Ordinary Angles, and more. Plus, enjoy our latest podcast episodes, where we covered the Best International Film nominees, and particularly Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe out there, and thanks for reading!
