Let's Sing A Song About Dystopia

from The Takeaway: Movie Date

When the world is coming to an end, and mankind is reduced to their most animal instincts, the only logical thing to do is race cars and sing pop songs a capella. At least, that's what you might think if you muddle this week's two big releases: "Mad Max: Fury Road," starring Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy; and "Pitch Perfect 2," starring Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick, and Elizabeth Banks (who also directs). Rafer and Kristen weigh in on both films. They also launch a new feature, Mystery Date, in which they watch and review one of the many mysterious films that randomly appears in their iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon feeds. There's a special Movie Therapy question this week, that involves a listener's secret family history. And, as usual, there's trivia!
