Milla Jovovich, the sci-fi icon known for her roles in “Resident Evil” and “The Fifth Element,” joins Jennifer to talk about their upcoming film together, “Breathe.” In this post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, Earth has become uninhabitable due to a lack of oxygen, forcing survivors to live underground. The film follows a mother, Maya (played by Jennifer Hudson), and her daughter, Zora (Quvenzhané Wallis), as they encounter two strangers (Jovovich and Sam Worthington) who claim to know Maya’s husband, presumed dead. “Breathe,” directed by Stefon Bristol, is set to be released on April 26, 2024.

The show also welcomes Russ, Melody, Taysia, and Rylan Stein, the founders of pi00a, an Asian-, deaf-, and CODA-owned pizza restaurant in Los Angeles. Melody, who is deaf, struggled to find work in the culinary industry. Together with her family, she opened pi00a with the goal of creating a deaf-accessible workspace and providing employment opportunities for the deaf community. Their unique fusion-style Neapolitan pizzas have become a hit, and the family hopes to shift perceptions about deaf employees and facilitate greater job opportunities for them in the culinary field.
