Hello and welcome to this first Off The Chain episode of The Unbreakable Movie Chain. This time out we chat Denis Villeneuve’s epic Dune 2, Alex Garland’s horrifying Civil War and Dev Patel’s kick-ass directorial debut Monkey Man.

Also, there’ve been two scary nun movies (one good, one bad) and two lesbians-on-the-road crime movies (one good, one bad) for us to delve into!

But wait, there’s more!! We have two barking-mad Nicolas Cage home-watches to recommend.

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Mila Jovovic? That’s right, Ed’s showing his age by banging on about Captain Planet again as we try to make sense of Luc Besson’s whacky sci-fi adventure The Fifth Element. Featuring the human torso, classic farce and Chris Tucker being far, far too much.

Also

• Treasure hunting in CEX
• Sick day films
• Hate-watching Eli Roth movies
