Recovered takes a break from iconic mass murderers for... lady assassins? Okay. We head back to the 90s for a young Luc Besson's breakout movie, La Femme Nikita, and its questionably necessary American remake Point of No Return with Bridget Fonda. Video Vulture John Tebbutt returns to walk Dan and Keith through his youthful love for the French original, the moments where he became connected to its titular addict-turned-unwilling black ops agent, and how the remake manages to bungle so many of them by being a little too Hollywood. Plus Jean Reno and Harvey Keitel take on the same character, confusion over which Dermot is in this, and the debate over whether we're just impossible to please with remakes. Listen in!
