Pop Culture Parenting Live: The Fifth Element and the Future

Dr Billy Garvey (a developmental paediatrician) and Nick (a developing parent) are a couple of dads having honest discussions about day-to-day parenting, using iconic movies from the 1980s and 90s to provide context.

For this episode recorded live from ACMI, Dr Billy and Nick are exploring the topic of the future via a discussion about the vibrant sci-fi adventure The Fifth Element.

Considering the film’s unique take on the future and how it challenges some of the more traditional Hollywood tropes in sci-fi, Billy and Nick will chat about how we talk to our kids about the future. They’ll ponder questions like: how do we explore our aspirations for the future with our kids? And how can we manage our concerns for the kind of world our kids will be living in decades from now?

Come along for this light-hearted, honest and hopeful discussion about parenting and the future, via The Fifth Element.
