31: Mad Max: Fury Road (feat. Lustau 'Pata de Gallina' Oloroso)

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

Part 6.1 of IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I WANT WINE)

How did fifteen years of development hell lead to what is inarguably* the greatest action movie of all time? What does 2022’s post-isolation Jamie have to say about Max Rockatansky’s sad loner vibe? What is “sculpting in time” and how does Scott connect it to this madcap, high octane, heavy metal, shiny and chrome car chase epic? Why does cartoonish warlord Immortan Joe strike our hosts as even more frightening now than he did when the movie first tore up the silver screen in 2015? WHO KILLED THE WORLD?! Answers to these questions and many more can only be found by crossing the desert of a world gone mad all the way to the Green Place… Where you’ll find the “Play” button. Go on, press it now.
