Episode notes

The hosts dive into Luc Besson's 1997 sci-fi action film, exploring Bruce Willis as Corbin Dallas, Mila Jovovich's alien warrior Leeloo, and Gary Oldman's delightfully over-the-top villain Zorg. They discuss the film's elaborate world-building, the memorable performance by Chris Tucker as Ruby Rod, and why the hero and villain never actually meet despite their connection. With a focus on the film's practical effects, set design, and enduring cult appeal, the crew breaks down what makes this movie work as an entertaining piece of 90s sci-fi spectacle.
