06 — Leia Organa and Leeloo

Kicking off the new year with two of our favorite badass ladies from outer space, we discuss the possible witchiness of Princess Leia Organa from “Star Wars” and Leeloominaï Lekatariba Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat from “The Fifth Element.” ALSO: strangling the patriarchy with its own bonds, the ever-present X-Men, gender fluidity in the distant future, and effective uses of Captain Planet.
