Hello! I'm beyond excited to share this week's episode with you. I'm joined by writer Dylan James Quarles (The Ruins of Mars) to talk about the 90s Luc Besson sci-fi, action-adventure, but sometimes also love story, The Fifth Element.

Topics covered range from Paul Verhoeven to 'maximalism' to Gary Oldman's chameleon-like greatness to the odd sexualization of an alien-baby universe savior.

Food for thought: can you think of any other films in the history of cinema where the film's good guy doesn't actually ever have a scene with the film's bad guy?
