"Leon: The Professional" - Nobody Warned Us About Leon the Professional

Well… this movie is something, isn't it? Leon: In this episode we break down Leon: The Professional. We talk about Gary Oldman's insane performance and how he created one of the best villians improvising the entire time. We tell the story of how the production smuggled illegal weapons into France and got hit with massive fines when authorities shut it down. We get into why Natalie Portman's parents ever allowed her to be in this movie. And we give our honest reaction to a cult classic that caught us WAY off guard in ways we were not ready for.
