Ep 071 // The Fifth Element

Published: Sept. 19, 2022, noon

For Sage's pick, we review an over-the-top Sci-Fi movie, The Fifth Element starring Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovovich, and Chris Tucker. Unsurprisingly, Star Wars was brought up many times, we talked about the performances, the technology, and we attempt to answer the question, was it so bad and over the top that it was good? 

This movie was directed by Luc Besson.
