Max is the author of a fantastic new book called A Masterpiece in Disarray, the oral history of David Lynch\u2019s Dune. Those of you who have seen the Denis Villeneuve version may only be dimly aware of the David Lynch\u2019s Dune. It was only his third film, and it\u2019s the only film of his that he claims not to love in some form or another. David Lynch\u2019s Dune was, at its time, the most expensive science fiction film Universal had ever made. It starred an unknown actor named Kyle MacLaughlin and the guy who had only directed two film and one of them was Eraserhead. If you don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to be an interesting story, I can\u2019t help you.  Christina Ward, like Max, is a pal o\u2019 mine. She is the Vice President and Editor at Feral House Publishing, and she has written a book called Holy Food: How Cults, Communes and Religious Movements Influence What We Eat. I learned a whole bunch of stuff I didn\u2019t know including, what major religion used to suggest that after someone died, it was a good idea to eat cake off their corpse. True Tales From Weirdsville tells the stranger than fiction tale of California\u2019s weird association with religious cults, focusing on two strange organizations that were both HUGELY popular, that both started out with seemingly good intentions, and how, one, specifically, went VERY off the rails. This is the tale of Aimee Semple Mcpherson\u2019s Four Square Gospel Church, and Charles Dederich\u2019s Synanon. You won\u2019t believe your ears!
