Journalist and author Phil Ellis joins us as we return to the topic of very first episode: Luc Besson’s 1997 day-glo sci-fi epic The Fifth Element. It’s been six years this month since we last talked about it and we’re all different people so we thought why not. We talk about Ruby Rhod, the power of love, very long prologues, and the clothes, the clothes, the clothes.


Phil is @Philip_Ellis. He’s a contributing editor at Men’s Health magazine and has exciting news coming soon!


Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now.


Sarah is @griffski. Her books are in all good bookshops.
