Rusted Junk Reviews: Leon (1994) — Love, Bullets and Controversy
Episode 55
Tuesday, 11 November, 2025

Hey — welcome to Rusted Junk. We’re digging into the 1994 classic Leon the Professional: Jean Reno’s quiet intensity, Natalie Portman’s breakout performance, and Gary Oldman’s unforgettable chaos. We chat versions (definitely watch the extended cut), the film’s European-meets-New York vibe, and why the director’s real-life history makes the story harder to swallow for some. It’s frank, a bit messy, and totally compelling — like gossip with film analysis. Come join us for the laughs, the hot takes, and the deep-dive into one of the most talked-about films of the ’90s.
