As "Dune Month" (aka "How You Dune? Month") winds toward its climax, a foray into the world of documentary to glimpse the Dune that might have been. But would it have been…good? The Flop House’s Elliott Kalan is our dream guest, and the feeling is mutual! Plus, we pitch some other unmade projects whose true Hollywood stories we’d love to see on screen.

What’s Good
Drea - A Good Bad Boy: Luke Perry and How a Generation Grew Up by Margaret Wappler
Elliott - Pole to Pole with Michael Palin
Alonso - making a recipe “wrong” with the right ingredients
