Podcast appearances and mentions of Luc Besson

“The four of us are on a one-way bullet train to Stupid City” - Andrew on covering this movie for the show On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza does indeed head to Stupid City as we're talking about the really silly, really short, sci-fi thriller, Lucy! How totally great is Choi Min-sik in this movie? Precisely how many seconds is Morgan Freeman standing on-screen? When Lucy gets so smart, why is she still unable to understand and speak multiple languages? With the action and fight choreography being as fun as they are, couldn't we have gotten more of that and less of Morgan Freeman giving that lecture? And do people at the front desk of a Westin care if you're going to eat at the hotel restaurant? PLUS: Lucy visits all the best Times Square chain restaurants and attractions!  Lucy stars Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Pilou Asbaek, Lio Tipton, and Choi Min-sik as Mr. Jang; directed by Luc Besson.

Retour sur la carrière de Luc Besson réalisateur et producteur unique en france.Tous les soirs, du lundi au vendredi à 20h sur France 5, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine et toute son équipe accueillent les personnalités et artistes qui font l'actualité.

C'est un classique de la littérature devenu un classique du cinéma. Adapté plus d'une trentaine de fois. Le mythe de Dracula revisité en 2025 par un réalisateur qui a marqué l'histoire du cinéma français : Le Grand Bleu, Léon, Nikita, la franchise TAXI, Le cinquième élément, Lucy. Autant de films qui ont également imposé le made in France partout dans le monde. Là encore, son Dracula en salles le 30 juillet prochain, fort du plus gros budget d'un film français en 2025 va tenir la dragée haute à tous les blockbusters américains de l'été. Dans la peau de Dracula, l'excellent, hypnotisant et charismatique Caleb Landry Jones campe un amoureux fou plus qu'un héros sanguinaire devant la caméra de Luc Besson qui est ce soir notre invité.Tous les soirs, du lundi au vendredi à 20h sur France 5, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine et toute son équipe accueillent les personnalités et artistes qui font l'actualité.

On this episode of TFTB film club we talk about The Fifth Element. It's been 28 years since this movie came out, does it still hold up? We're going to let you know. We'll also chat about some of the runners-up for this episode, and what we're watching next.Please let us know if there is a movie that you want us to review on the podcast!

Matt and Eric expand their minds with Luc Besson's LUCY, where ScarJo gets to turn into a supercomputer symbiote because of a cool new blue drug that's hitting the streets. Get ready for a dumb-smart movie! Or a smart-dumb movie! Either way, this run = done. 

Podden bad sina lyssnare skicka in förslag på vilken film som skulle analyseras. Och lotten föll på den franska action-klassikern TAXI från 1998. En högoktanig rökare skriven och proddad av den tveksamme Luc Besson. Utöver det så har Coma Cop äntligen kommit i kontakt med Finlands filmstiftelse och fått tag i statistik och siffror från biljettförsäljningen i Österbotten på 90-talet. Nu vet podden allt. Och Mike Foxtrot har gjort en ingående faktaruta på Emma Wiklund, supermodellen från Svea rike som gör en av rollerna i detta europeiska epos. Hoppa in i Taxin och följ med till Marseilles, nu blir det åka av!

Luc Besson's 1997 sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element is our choice for the deep dive segment this week. In the reviews we share thoughts on How To Train Your Dragon, Predator: Killer of Killers, Deep Cover, and The Luckiest Man In America.

Black and guest Sam Stokes travel back to 1997 for Luc Besson's eccentric science-fiction spectacular, The Fifth Element.

Die Franzosen können nicht nur Wein und Käse, sie können auch Action. Manchmal ist es Actionkäse, aber manchmal auch ein Gourmethappen wie "Ghettogangz" alias "Banlieue 13" alias "District 13", ein Film, in dem amtlich gekickt, geschossen und explodiert wird, in dem aber vor allem Parkour zelebriert wird, die Kunst der geschmeidigen Fortbewegung über alle Hinternisse hinweg. Luc Besson steht hinter dem Film-Projekt, ein Mann, der französische Action auf ein neues Niveau hob, sei es als Regisseur von "Nikita" und "Leon - Der Profi", aber auch als Produzent von "Transporter", Kiss Of The Dragon" oder der "Taxi"-Reihe. 2004 war "Banlieue 13" in Deutschland noch ein Geheimtipp, heute hingegen ist fast schon wieder etwas in Vergessenheit geraten. Grund genug also fürs Nachtprogramm, diesem europäischen Genre-Highlight eine Bühe zu geben und "Banlieue 13" sowie seinen fünf Jahre später veröffentlichten Nachfolger zu besprechen.Nachtküsse könnt ihr vergeben übernachtprogrammpodcast@gmail.comFolgt uns aufBluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @nachtprogramm.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sergejs Letterbox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Martins Letterbox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Und besucht:https://www.actionfreunde.de/https://liquid-love.de/forum/Music Intro: https://www.purple-planet.com

It's not even October and we've got monsters on the brain. From Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein to a potentially derivative version of Dracula from Luc Besson (plus some monsters of the human and otherwise categories) we get a bit freaky in this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Este fin de semana, llega a pantallas de cine el famoso "proyecto secreto" que hizo Luc Besson durante la pandemia. Esperamos 5 años y siendo Luc Besson quien es, quizá esperábamos más y otra cosa. "June y John" es una película congraciable pero ¿la mejor versión del cineasta francés? Aqui con machete afilado la partimos en rebanadas para intentar responder esto.Se está llevando a cabo una pequeña muestra de Sundance en México y Reclu ha asistido a las funciones especiales que después llegaran a salas abiertamente. Primeros vistazos a "2000 metros para Andriivka", el nuevo y angustiante documental del periodista ucraniano Mstyslav Chernov ("20 días en Mariupol") que te deja con el estomago en la mano. También se lanzó a ver una opera prima bien interesante que se llama "Plainclothes" de Carmen Emmi. Todo lo que hay en estas dos obras independientes, lo contamos.Primeros vistazos a la serie de Netflix "Sirenas" pero eso da para mucha charla que tendremos para el siguiente episodio.Pase y "deje su amor suyo de sí mismo" para este su podcast de cine favorito.

What's New to Netflix gets into all of the titles for Netflix in May 2025, and it's a lot to cover, so be sure to listen, because you don't want to miss out! Then Scarlett Johansson uses 100% of her brain, leading to all sorts of action mayhem in Luc Besson's Lucy from 2014. Next, we did the first Sicario last month, so now we tackle Sicario: Day of the Soldado from 2018. And finally, Tom Hardy kicks all kinds of ass while also getting his ass kicked in the ass-kicking, Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans from 2025. All of this plus all of the Airport movies, all of the Twilight movies, Vince Vaughn's acting range, betting is cool, football parents, sneaky links, wild robots, and we put the dumb back in Tudum! got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com

Merci à Luc d'être passé dans le studio de LEGEND !

Join us and dive headfirst into the chaotic, brain-melting acid trip that is Lucy (2014), Luc Besson's cinematic fever dream starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. Right from the start, we knew we were in for it: bad science, a “sketch services” level plot, and the kind of dialogue that feels like it was written by a dolphin with a grudge. We got the whole gang together to dissect this mess with our usual irreverent flair, roasting everything from the film's lazy international logic to its “USB stick of universal knowledge” ending. Honestly, it was like watching 2001: A Space Odyssey if Kubrick had been blackout drunk and obsessed with PowerPoint transitions.   As always, the chaos around the table was half the fun. We went full throttle into the ridiculousness of ScarJo turning into a floating Fred Astaire balloon, controlling time and matter with 20% of her brain (because science), and ultimately becoming “Wi-Fi with titties.” The callbacks and inside jokes were flying faster than Lucy's totally-not-real powers. Between wild tangents about dolphins, King of the Hill, and awkward animal mating montages, it was the most we've ever laughed at a movie that made us question our life choices.   The frustration was real though. Dan, our resident physicist, compared the experience to “watching your grandparents get assaulted.” Elise gave us the all-time review of Lucy as “an acid trip with a science fair poster taped to it.” And Manny… well, Manny owned up to nominating this movie after loving it once while, let's say, chemically enhanced. Rewatching it sober? Not so much. We collectively agreed: Lucy was a one-time ride, and even that was one too many.   But hey, if you love our affectionate chaos and want to hear us go fully unhinged on a movie that somehow made $469 million worldwide, this episode is an absolute banger. It's the perfect blend of exasperated movie talk, relentless roasting, and pure group therapy. Come for the dolphin trivia, stay for the unfiltered pain. You won't regret listening… just don't watch the movie.

Dans Travelling, un film de science-fiction, une comédie musclée, signée Luc Besson sortie en 1997 : The 5th Element, le 5e élément. Dans ce film, le Bien est confronté au Mal absolu, qui revient tous les 5000 ans et se propose à chaque fois de détruire toute forme de vie. En 2263, le Mal est repoussé par une équipe de Justes et de justiciers groupés autour des 4 éléments fondamentaux et dʹun cinquième, incarné en un être parfait, en lʹoccurrence une jeune fille aux cheveux orange prénommée Leeloo. Luc Besson, auréolé du succès de Nikita puis de Léon, donne enfin corps à un projet qui lui tient à cœur depuis son adolescence. Le 5e élément est tiré de son livre écrit 16 ans. Il lui faut 20 ans et de nombreux millions de dollars pour en tirer un film. Le 5e élément est une véritable superproduction. Lorgnant du côté de Star Wars et dʹIndiana Jones, mâtiné de bande dessinée européenne, le cinéaste associe à son projet les dessinateurs Moebius, et Jean-Claude Mézières pour les décors, la création de lʹunivers et les créatures du futur. Pour les effets spéciaux, cʹest la société de James Cameron et la musique est signée Eric Serra, complice de toujours de Luc Besson. Du côté des acteurs de ce Space opéra, Bruce Willis, star ultime des années 90, est le héros avec une débutante, Milla Jovovich. On trouve également Gary Oldman, Ian Holm et Chris Tucker. Gigantesque fresque sur la paix, sur lʹamour, le film est un véritable succès en France, et à lʹInternational malgré des critiques mitigées qui lui reprochent une impression de déjà-vu et de naïveté du propos. Mais le public adore et à  force de diffusions et de rediffusions, le 5e éléments obtient un statut de film culte. Nommé aux César et aux Oscars, le film obtient trois César dont celui du meilleur réalisateur. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Direction, le 23e siècle, dans le taxi volant de Korben Dallas, dans lequel vient dʹatterrir avec fracas, Leeloo.

That night, it's a neat double feature of THE CRIMSON RIVERS mystery adventure films starring Jean Reno.   Is the first film Mathieu Kassovitz's single best films to date (if not Vincent Cassel's best role)?   Why does Luc Besson's sequel fall rather flat?    What fanbase will the original film definitely appeal to?   All that as well as detail on the Kino Lorber blu-ray and newer TV show version.   MUSIC USED:  "Cycles," "CodeBlue" and "Continuum" by Jason Shaw (AudioNautix)  All Songs are Licensed Under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/                   MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/        SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz   Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass

In the sixteenth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and activist Kerry Harwin to discuss the opulent world building of Luc Besson's ode to comic book color and science-fiction grandeur in the flamboyant, gender-bending, and archetype subverting space opera centering around the mythic battle between good and evil that is The Fifth Element (1997). 

Sie sind im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes nicht totzukriegen. Jede neue Generation bekommt ihren Draculafilm, ihre Vampir-Romanze, ihre Vampirserie, ihre Arthouse-Version, ihren Vampir-Actionhelden, ihre Vampirparodie. Gerade ist “Nosferatu” wieder im Kino, an “Morbius” können wir uns (leider) noch erinnern, der neue Blade"-Film wird und wird nicht fertig, “What We Do in the Shadows” ist gerade ausgelaufen und Ryan Coogler, Luc Besson und Radu Jude sind nur einige der Regisseur*innen, die gerade an neuen Vampirgeschichten sitzen. In diesem Special beissen sich Lucas und Christian zusammen mit Clara Atlanta Kröhn dreieinhalb Stunden lang ganz tief ins Fleisch des Vampirfilms um herauszufinden: Wieso wird das Mega-Motiv “Vampir” nicht alt?

C'est bientôt la Saint-Valentin et à cette occasion, Julia vous propose d'écouter un promeneur de chien nous raconter son premier bisou. Il avait 15 ans, c'était sur le chemin de l'école et il en garde un joli souvenir. L'image de ce premier baiser qu'il aime se remémorer se confond avec celui que donne Jean-Marc Barr à Rosanna Arquette dans le Grand Bleu. Ce film inspiré de la vie du plongeur Jacques Mayol est ultra culte à la fin des années 80.*** Crédits archive *** Extrait de l'émission radiophonique "Les pieds sur terre : 1er baiser" de Sonia Kronlund.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, recorded at the IT Press Tour in Malta, I am joined by Antoine Simkin, co-founder of Digi Film Corporation.  Antoine Simkine is also the lead producer and managing director of the Paris-based Les Films d'Antoine, which was founded in 2004. He was also the executive producer of the VFX of about one hundred feature films such as “The City of Lost Children”, “Amelie”, “Alien Resurrection” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, “The Ninth Gate” by Roman Polanski, “Ronin” by John Frankenheimer, “Joan of Arc” by Luc Besson, and “The Man Who Cried” by Sally Potter. Antoine Simkine has then worked for 20th Century Fox as VFX producer during the final phase of development of “I Robot” by Alex Proyas. With a unique background in cinema and digital visual effects, Antoine brings a fascinating perspective on the challenges and solutions for long-term data preservation in our rapidly evolving digital age. Antoine shares his journey from pioneering digital visual effects in the 1980s and 90s to tackling one of the industry's most pressing issues: the longevity of digital data. Reflecting on his experience working with formats like Sony DIR and DTF tapes, he highlights the challenges of data migration, evolving standards, and the risks of losing critical digital assets. His work with Digifilm Corporation introduces an innovative approach to solving these problems by blending the permanence of film with the precision of digital encoding. We explore how Digifilm's Archifix solution offers a robust alternative to traditional storage methods, ensuring data preservation for decades, if not centuries. Antoine provides insight into the diverse applications of this technology, from the cinematic world to industries such as nuclear power, defense, and architecture, where the need for secure, offline data storage is paramount. As data volumes grow exponentially and regulations around data integrity and security tighten, Antoine's vision for the future of Digifilm highlights the critical importance of balancing technological advancements with sustainable, long-term preservation strategies. Could this approach be the missing piece in solving the global data storage puzzle? What role could Digifilm play in securing our digital heritage for future generations? Listen, reflect, and join the conversation. Learn more at https://digifilm-corp.com/home

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of November 8,  2024. Starting off, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is a delightful adaptation of a book and an excellent family film to kick off the holiday season. Andy actually sat down with Producers Chet Thomas and Darin McDaniel of the show in a Movie Show Digital Extra, which you can find at this link.  Also in theaters is the action suspense movie called "Elevation," which is basically “A Quiet Place” only if the creatures can't go above 8000 ft instead of not being able to see. And, a Luc Besson co-written action movie called "Weekend in Taipei" starring Luke Evans, Sung Kang, and a Taiwanese action star named Gwei Lun-Me, has some fun action pieces. As for streaming, if you like Pentatonix but don't want to hear them sing very much, you could watch "Meet Me Next Christmas" on Netflix, where Christina Milian is hoping to get some tickets to meet a potential beau at the concert on Christmas Eve, but perhaps she'll realize that everything she was looking for may have been right in front of her the whole time! The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisodes, taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.   Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, kslpodcasts.com, or on the KSL NewsRadio App. Join the conversation and get the latest 'nerdly' news on Facebook @FanEffectShow.
