It’s Lit! is a series of smart, funny video essays about our favorite books and why we love to read. Hosted by Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes, the series delves into topics like the evolution of YA, how science fiction mirrors our own anxieties, and why the book is sometimes just a _bit_ better than the movie.

Season 2 Episode 12 | 13m 29s | CC

Also known as Dune and it's a meess. 1965 novel Dune has been previously (and rather infamously) brought to life by David Lynch in 1984, and again in a three-part miniseries on the SyFy channel in the early 2000s. But, What is Dune? Why must the spice flow? And what is with all the sand?
