Mad Max is a series where the canon doesn’t really matter to me. It does not improve, not detract from what we are seeing each film.

My two cents: I’d encourage you to see Furiosa on the big screen. Its scope is as wide as Lawrence of Arabia and similar widescreen epics. Arguably larger than Fury Road. I think with a movie like this, seeing it in a theater is an essential part of experiencing it.

Nailed it. This is how Furiosa works too. I saw it yesterday, and was perplexed by some of its aspects, until I realized that what we’re not seeing is objective truth, but a legend being related by another. The tell being when the History Man says he heard a certain detail directly from Furiosa herself. That’s a…

The Tom Hardy casting matters because the rest of the world in Fury Road appears to be much further along in the apocalypse than what we saw in Road Warrior or Thunderdome, when the collapse felt fresh and most adults seemed to remember the war.

I mean, Furiosa puts the Storyteller in the actual movie (and Dr. Dementus’s “History Man” is called “The First History Man” in the credits.) So it’s pretty clear these are “stories the people in the Wasteland tell about their history” not “what actually happened.”

It was pretty obvious that for the first three films Miller was riffing a slightly new take with each movie and could not give a flying fuck about canon and continuty and all that bullshit which audiences at the time also could not have cared less about. They’re just movies. It’s all make-believe. Fiction doesn’t have…

I also remember him as playing one in every six villagers in The Witcher 3.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same about all three of these podcasts (and they’re among the few that I listen to). When Maron is most on his game (i.e., when you can tell as he’s actually interested in the guest and their work), he can probe and get things out of these celebs that I’ve never seen them give in other…

Don’t forget James Franco thrashing around for a while with a bunch of aggressively mediocre projects.

Yeah, there’s a whole list of movies, shows, and books I want to dig into. Something with Jon “Trump has a tongue for truths” Voight makes this an easy pass. Apparently (alleged) sexual and physical abuser and (known) plagiarist Shia LaBoeuf is in this too. You know who else can act at least as well as them? *LOTS* of…

Coppola only makes passion projects and has only done so since he made The Godfather in 1972.

I might be more excited for this movie if it didn't star Jon Voigt and Shia LeBeouf.

Yeah, it’s funny watching everyone tripping over themselves to praise a movie they’ve never seen and criticize the distributors who have seen it and decided to pass.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t want to see Jon Voight’s erection.

Thanks! Your comments on these reviews have been full of interesting information. 

Whaat, that doesn’t sound right. Did you just stop watching them? 

This seems kind of weird. First off they are asking for union equivalent residuals. Except if the original movie has been made under union rules the producers would have hired SAG/AFTRA (plus teamsters and crew ans others) members and they wouldn’t have been hired anyways. So it seems like at the time they were fine…

i think he left because he was told he was gonna be superman again and then after he quit he was told he wasn’t gonna be superman again.

At least they brought in someone who’s used to being negatively compared to someone else.

In this case the show will actually be wearing Hemsworth as a hat
