Patrick talks about his sci-fi focus in his writing, with mild tagging (kinda) on Dune. Marcus protects Generation Z's discovery of Dune via the Villeneuve movies. Patrick then drops a second poem, while talking about the competing wild fires. Marcus drops a poetic teaser and attacks there "Novelists" for guard railing content length.

Mentioned in this episode: Gentleman Junkie and Other Stories of the Hung-Up by Harlan Ellison
