Mad Max: Fury Road
from ADHD-DVD
This week, put this podcast in your earholes and I will carry you to the gates of Valhalla myself, as we die historic inducting a new entry into the podcast canon. It's 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road, written and directed by George Miller, and starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Riley Keough. It is pure spectacle action cinema, with terrific politics and a thinking brain buried beneath its non-stop chase sequences. Plus, Hayley's got a pair of theatrical field reports this week on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, as well as the Richard Linklater-Glen Powell reunion Hit Man. And we offer up our dream casts for Knives Out 3. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our discussion, Mad Max: Fury Road is currently streaming on Crave and Starz in Canada at the time of publication. Other works referenced in this episode include Set It Up, Long Shot, Devs, Paddington, La La Land, Moonlight, Her, The Sum of All Fears, Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Dark Knight Rises, Dunkirk, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Insidious, Lucy, Workaholics, The Matrix franchise, Sunshine, Speed Racer, La Chimera and Black Mass, among others. We'll be back next week as we're joined by comedian Rory Dunn to watch an unseen film from his collection: William Friedkin's Sorcerer (1977), currently streaming on the Criterion Channel. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
