In this episode of <i><b>Pop Culture Weekly</b></i>, Kyle McMahon sits down with <b>Milla Jovovich</b> to talk all about her new action thriller, <b><i>Protector</i>.</b> Known for her legendary work in action, sci-fi and fantasy films, Milla opens up about what made this project different, including stepping further into the producing process and taking creative control in post-production.<br /><br />Milla discusses how <i>Protector</i> embraces old-school filmmaking with practical effects, real stunt work, and a more grounded emotional core. She also shares why the film’s character, Nikki, is driven by guilt, motherhood, identity, and the struggle to balance personal purpose with family life.<br /><br />Kyle and Milla also get into the bigger conversation around women in action films and whether Hollywood has truly evolved when it comes to writing complex female characters. It’s a smart, candid conversation about filmmaking, physical performance, character depth, and how far the industry has come for women on screen - and how far it still has to go.<br /><br />If you love action movies, behind-the-scenes insight and conversations with the artists shaping pop culture, this one’s for you.<br /><br /><b>If you dig the show, subscribe, rate, and share - and tell your friend who's always stealing your streaming passwords.<br /><br />📍 Watch now <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@popcultureweekly" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on YouTube</a> or listen on your favorite podcast platform<br /><br />🎧 Subscribe for more celeb interviews, streaming picks and pop culture deep dives!<br /><br />🗣️ Want to be featured on the show? 📱 <a href="https://podcast.popcultureweekly.com/voicemail/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leave a voicemail here</a>!<br /><br />📧 Join the newsletter to get exclusive content, interviews &amp; more once a week! <a href="https://popcultureweeklywithkyle.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subscribe here</a>!<br /><br />--------------------------<br /><br />Kyle McMahon's Death, Grief &amp; Other Sh*t We Don't Discuss is now streaming. <a href="https://www.deathandgrief.show/Chapter-One-The-Diagnosis-AKA-WTF/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen here</a>!<br /><br />--------------------------<br /><br />Get all the Pop Culture Weekly podcast info you could want including extra content, uncut interviews, photos, videos &amp; transcripts at <a href="https://podcast.popcultureweekly.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Podcast.PopCultureWeekly.com</a><br /><br /><br />Read the latest at <a href="http://www.PopCultureWeekly.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PopCultureWeekly.com</a><br /><br /><br />Get Social with Kyle on:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/realkylemcmahon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle McMahon Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/realkylemcmahon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle McMahon Instagram</a><br /><a href="http://www.tiktok.com/@realkylemcmahon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle McMahon TikTok </a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@popcultureweekly" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pop Culture Weekly YouTube</a><br /><a href="http://www.kylemcmahon.me" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle McMahon Website</a></b>
