Join Pablo, Erica, and our guest, Joe, as we travel through the stars for a discussion of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, an excessively French film that should have starred Rihanna, but instead stars two adult children. The most expensive independent movie of all time, Valerian comes ripped off from the same comic as was Star Wars, though neither film accurately depicts the source material. Directed, written, and produced by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Taken 1, 2, and 3, etc.), this movie is a barrage of colors, LED lights, and plot holes, and can stand up to any U.S.-made, style-over-substance action film.
