Welcome to Bad Dads Film Review, where today we're taking a trip far away, to much sandier parts as we discuss the merits of Dune: Part 2.

Dune: Part Two picks up where the first part left off, following Paul Atreides as he navigates his new life among the Fremen, the indigenous people of Arrakis. The story intensifies as Paul's destiny as a prophesied leader entwines more deeply with the ecological and political upheaval on Arrakis. The struggle for control of the planet and its invaluable resource, spice, come to a head, involving various factions like the Harkonnens, the Emperor, and other major houses of the Landsraad.

Join us and hear Pete and Sidey bemoan to the very underwhelming performance of a Bad Dads favourite, Mr Christopher Walken.

There is actually lots to like here. The themes of Dune: Part Two continue to explore ecological stewardship, the messianic complex, and the interplay between power, religion, and destiny. The political intrigue that mirrors many real-world issues, resonating with audiences through its portrayal of resource-driven conflicts and colonial dynamics.

But that Christopher Walken performance, what a let down!

We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.

Until next time, we remain...
