Léon: The Professional
Hey there, did you know that there are two versions of this movie and that one of them is so disgusting and questionable and also the director of this movie impregnated a 16 year old when he was 33? Well buckle in! It's okay if you didn't already know that, we didn't either when we chose to cover this film!!!
Heavy content warnings this week for upsetting topics such as the s*xulazation of young Natalie Portman as well as the very real abuse that French actress and filmmaker Maïwenn experienced at the hands of this movie's director.

Atonement
Content warning, we cover a lot of NSFW material this week, including sexual content and discussion of r*pe and sexual assault as it pertains to the plot of the film. Are the bedbug extermination fumes making us a little unhinged this week? Maybe.

Twitter thread about the crimes of Eddie Murphy (I know twitter isn't a reliable news source, but a lot of the articles on this topic use derogatory and outdated terms, so you can do your own googling if you want to find those)

Romeo + Juliet
Covering the 1996 Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet adaptation. How loud can you scream camp? Shouts out to elbarbeque for suggesting this movie for this week, and apologies for butchering your name on the pod, I transcribed it horrifically onto my episode notes and obviously missed a few letters.
