Episode 70: Mad Max Fury Road
Manage episode 480046616 series 2813904
On this episode we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mad Max: Fury Road - Black and Chrome Edition. Often considered the greatest action film of all time, Fury Road reintroduced the world to Max, this time played by Tom Hardy, as he teams up with Furiosa to take on the dystopian warlord Immortan Joe. George Miller’s stated intention was to make a movie that was one long chase, and as elemental and close to a silent film as possible. The Black and Chrome Edition brings this vision even closer.
Other topics include Charlize Theron, George Miller’s filmography and how Babe: Pig in the City fits in, America’s obsession with celebrity culture, Warren Zevon’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Riot Fest, and whether or not we should cover The Beaver with Mel Gibson on the podcast.
