Mad Max: Fury Road & Max & Ruby

Watch out maxochists, Sidey and Reegs once again push things to the maximum with this week’s maxnificent themed show, starting out with a look at the Top 5 Maxes in movie and tv.MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was George Miller's triumphant 2015 return to the series which made his name and sees Tom Hardy take on the role of the eponymous protagonist who quickly finds himself mounted on the hood of a car and used as a blood bag to transfuse the irradiated blood of a bleach skinned religious zealot fuelled by dreams of death and Valhalla, as the desert warlord Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) sets out with his army of War Boys in pursuit of Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), his trusted lieutenant and driver of the War Rig, who betrays him by freeing his five sex slave wives and escaping to find hope at the Green Place. Miller's extraordinary world and chaotic but impeccably filmed action are constantly captivating in a movie which might easily be written off as 'one long car chase' by detractors as if that was a bad thing anyway. Instead we get incredible visuals and in Theron's Furiosa, the franchise produces one of the truly iconic female action performances of all time. MAX & RUBY completes our maxcellent themed week in which the two rabbits of the title get up to... well I was going to say mischief but this week’s episode in which the younger Max, clearly suffering from anxiety and ADHD, is placed in a scenario where it’s impossible for him not to succumb to temptation and open a huge and mysterious present barely qualifies as tomfoolery let alone full blown mischief. Sister Ruby, burdened by the responsibility of looking after her brother due to the absence of their parents in their lives, desperately craves approval from authority figures. In a gripping season finale, Ruby contracts fatal mayxomatosis whilst Max faces a disciplinary hearing at work when he is caught maxturbating during a Zoom call  gone wrong.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.
