Ep 28 - The Fifth Element

It’s time for another listener pick! Today we’re doing the Luc Besson sci-fi-action-comedy from 1997, The Fifth Element, which has been requested multiple times. In this densely packed, overstimulating 127 minutes, we’re shot into the 23rd century where Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich have the fate of the world in their hands. Nobody talks to himself on film like Bruce, and just like in Diehard, his character helps us feel grounded in this strange, scary world where a Supreme Being is the only hope to save humankind every 5,000 years and cruise ships are still considered a luxury vacation. So, in the words of Ruby Rhod, we hope you Super Green your face off with this episode. Did we use that right? [Editor’s Note: Jeff apologizes for saying Ruby ROAD instead of Ruby ROD. Hope you’re not triggered. Grandpa will turn up his ear trumpets next time.]
