The Fifth Element (1997)

New to the Patreon, mid-episode still: anyone seen his Joan of Arc film? Its...a mess worth observing. And Mila is still pretty great in it. As much as one can be in such a dumpster fire

Hell yeah

This was my first Bruce Willis movie in theaters, it's wonky as hell but I love it. Listening to the ep twice motivated me to watch the movie again for the first time in a long time. Thanks ABZ!

Lots of LOLs this episode. Thanks ABZs

For me, favorite part of We Own This City was when Bernthal busted out the Roger Rabbit

Very fitting how triggered Rodgers is by the idea that there’s a version of him somewhere that’s happy

I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Pittsburgh has a Division II pro soccer team called the Riverhounds. They were so close to Water Dogs and they blew it.

Just an interesting note about Milla Jovovich, she released an album in 1994 and it's low key kind of good. Sounds like Kate Bush. I used to see the video for Gentlemen Who Fell on MTV alot back then and I think that's when I fell in love with her.

Grogan is good with model airplanes; does that count as art?

All I know is, every time I pass a cop in a speed trap I say out loud "if they don't chase you after a mile, they don't chase you." I have yet to see lights in my rearview so I can finish it up with "maybe it's two miles," but I keep driving 15 over the speed limit everywhere I go.

I think Leonardo Da Vinci from Hudson Hawk is probably the best artist in the Action Boyz universe

I love how Stanger had to keep downplaying his enjoyment of The Fifth Element in order to match the other two’s energy.

FINALLY we get a discussion about forehead assholes.

Gabrus is bad a note taking

Rodgers seems to hate fun.

I need to borrow $300

Let me be the second to confirm the Benny slang. Not because anyone needed double confirmation but just because I’m from NJ and I wanted to say something. Its just a pejorative for the people who go to the nj beaches who aren’t from there. You can still be a benny if you don’t wear socks with sandals but if you do it’s probably a good indication you’re not from there. Anyway if you wanna learn more about it you can listen to my new podcast “Benny and the Jets” where me and New York Jets QB Zach Wilson drive down to Wildwood to rank zeppoles

Zorg fucks that little elephant guy, right?

What ever happened to Tricky?

Shittting on The 5th Element is akin to shitting on thy God himself! 🙏 😭 DO YOU WANT SOME MORE?

I also felt sad for the trapped alien.

Also the joker and his henchmen redo an entire art museum.

It's cool when Willis pops up in Nobody's Fool

The little girl in waterworld spends a lot of time drawing with the mariners crayons.

At around minute 5 of the forehead butthole conversation, things appear to be winding down a bit. Thankfully Stanger makes sure to ask Gabrus to finish his thought and we get another solid 3 minutes on farts. $8 well spent

Ha yeah the socks and sandals thing only gets worse farther up the coast, definitely a northwest dork staple.

I hope they have at least 1 butthole forehead in Crimes of the Future.

Ben Gazzara in The Big Lebowski with some legendary sketching art

Found this. Bob Odenkirk talking about Seagal on SNL. https://youtu.be/f0RfZ7L45wA

I have an ex from Jersey and she and her friends absolutely used "benny" to refer to tourists. Not sure about the socks and sandals thing specifically, though

Rodgers is a miserable prick in every universe.

Don’t sleep on Picard, bro!

"Now this dog humps everything you have nothing to worry about"

Wow! Can't believe they don't like the campiness! For me its like the good version of the campiness in the Schumaker Batmans. Its bright! Its glossy! Its fun!!

Who else is down for a 12 Monkeys episode?

Waterdog here checking in from Bloomfield, Pittsburgh. Thanks for the shoutout.

My substitute gym teacher in 6th grade was on American Gladiators. Legend has it Ms. Kropp set a Powerball record, but it was never verified. https://youtu.be/_1E-EdCEN_8

I'm 95% sure I heard Rodgers nailing his Werner Herzog impression on Nosferatu The Vampyre during Last Drive In a few weeks back.

The Dancing Mugger is Mathieu Kassovitz. He directed an incredible French film called La Haine (which launched the careers of Vincent Cassel and Saïd Taghmaoui) but could never really make it work in Hollywood - Gothika and the Vin Diesel bomb Babylon A.D. He’s also the love interest in Amelie, the toy/bomb maker in Munich and the lead of a great French show called The Bureau. Anyway, he rules.

It's the distant future. Covid 73 is out of control. Marlboro miles are the only form of currency. All babies born must be named after guitars.

April drawing the Turtles. Ben should know this one.

You guys forgot to mention Leo’s character in “Titanic”. One of cinema’s best sketch artist. Of course, Mason Storm is a pretty good Chinese calligraphy artist.

When Rogers isn’t driving an episode, he’s in full holiday mode just shooting the shit. I love to see it. Good for him getting a nice rest.

Sketch scene - Deke DeSilva (Stallone) sketch of Wulfgar in Nighthawks.

Pulvis Esley.

Completely on board with Gabrus as far as "I like this more now than I did in the 90s" goes.

Although 15 is the age of consent in France he was 16 years older than his first wife and said it was the age gap that inspired Leon…If you thought he was sexualising Natalie Portman beforehand you might throw up watching it again. His rape allegations have all been thrown out by the courts, but it’s France FFS, incest is legal as long as both parties are over 18! 🤢 Edit: Bloody Hell, he met his first wife when she was 12 and she was pregnant at 16. 🤮

If that song is unsingable, how'd she sing it? How'd that little girl do it? Why do we care? And what's with Oldman hair? And didn't Tucker look good in that dress?
