Milla Jovovich’s Leeloo is the poster child for the trope of Born Sexy Yesterday, wherein a childlike but fully adult woman who is both profoundly wise and unutterably naive needs the protection and guidance of an ordinary man. But the weird gender values don’t stop with Leeloo. Tracie and Emily also talk...

Stamper CinemaThe Fifth Element (with writer Dylan James Quarles)
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?

In our world, The Fifth Element is a sci-fi action movie starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Chris Tucker. In the movie's world, the fifth element is the key to saving the planet. French action screenwriter and producer Luc Besson brings his talents to America for a movie that's very silly, very entertaining, and very, very 90s.

Childhood friends and the minds behind 'Ben There, Dan That' and 'Time Gentlemen, Please', the pair talk about their inspirations, how Luc Besson missed a trick with The Fifth Element and how they wrote their latest game 'Lair of the Clockwork God' in a log cabin with a hot tub over the space of a week. Sean then gushes over how good LotCG is and probably breaks a few embargoes.

The Superhuman Samurai Syber PodSSSP GAIDEN PRESENTS: ENTER THE WARRIOR'S GATE!! (With Alex Berube)Hello everyone! It's been a hot minute. We have a lot of new content in the pipeline, with a new "regular" episode coming out within the next few days. However, this is no regular episode... It's a GAIDEN for ENTER THE WARRIOR'S GATE!! That is to say, the French-Chinese attempt at making a international crossover hit. It made... no money, helping to bankrupt Luc Besson's Europacorp. He's a pretty bad person so we don't feel bad. We also talk about the only two redeeming parts of the film: Dave Batista as the lead villain, and weirdo 90's bully TRAVIS.
