@brooksza @LadderMovie Ah, that's a little more tenuous since it was the TV show. Orson Welles is in it too, so Citizen Kane would work.

Stories: All-New Tales

Neil Gaiman

@LadderMovie Fun podcast as usual, though I did wish that book (or TV) rungs were eligible. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens is a funny version of this kind of story, with a ton of connections to The Omen and a bunch of other devil and end or the world stories.

@brooksza @LadderMovie I would suggest not trying to read all of the Dune books in a row. Especially not the non-Frank Herbert written ones. Jump around a bit in your ladder.
