This motherfucker watched a movie where a girl inherits all of the memories of her 4 most recent female ancestors because her mother used drugs while she was pregnant and he's like "that isn't how sound moves through sand"

That's the story of dune, and it was covered in the 1984 movie. Idk if the new one gets into it I haven't seen it yet
