Description

Grab your orange tank tops, your Mondoshawans, and don’t forget those stones! Stephan covers this episode on The Fifth Element's VERY long production. A story written 20 years in advance, French artists, French clothes, and special effects coming out the wazoo. There’s absolutely nothing else to talk about! If you love sci-fi, don’t miss this one.
