Space Opera E18: The Fifth Element (1997)&Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) - a podcast by James Payne

We're joined by the sensational film critic, writer, and podcaster, Anna Bogutskaya. Together, we're delving into the wild world of Luc Besson's space opera adventures, The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). 

From Besson's (sometimes peculiar) casting choices to the eternal battle between practical effects and CGI, we dissect what works and what doesn't in these two space operas. 

Oh! And brace yourselves for another round of blue aliens, this time with some unexpected stage talents.
