I already listened to this on pod but just popping in to mention that when the thumbnail started auto playing the captions said “I’m Sean Fantasy” and now I think that’s what Sean should call himself
I think Furiosa's arch isn't complete in this film because it's fully realized in Fury Road. She gets so caught up in revenge for the subjugation she faced under Dementus that she fails to escape to the Green Place. He then tells her to make it Epic. She then realizes she can save all of the breeder wives instead of just herself but by the time she is able to accomplish that the Green Place has fallen. There is no escape from this world into this 'perfect land' but she has to return and fix what they have. Fury Road is so easily slotted in as Chapter 6 of this movie that they should almost be considered one. Mad Max & Furiosa: The Whole Bloody Mess
While I enjoyed our group's discussion, I find the emphasis on box office performance tiresome and largely irrelevant to whether a film is good or if you enjoyed it. This trend seems to be becoming normalized in film and other entertainment channels. Some of the best works of art, including my favorite films, music, games, and books, weren't huge financial successes. However, this never diminished my personal enjoyment or fan appreciation. Instead of focusing on the craft and how something makes us feel, we've turned a generation of filmgoers and entertainment lovers into accountants and financial analysts. What a sad state of affairs.
Joanna asking Sean if he softened his opinion on the movie because the box office sucked is why she is the best of the best for these shows. witness me, joanna
Respectfully, there’s no way Sean would outlast Amanda in the Wasteland. Amanda’s indomitable will to live (identified by Sean himself in the April 5, 2024 meltdown incident) ensures she will continue to barter her way into a comfortable lifestyle long after Sean has given up. So glad we have video now, so much fun to watch these conversations.
Just an FYI on the off-screen death of Scrouts (17:00) - there's a Mad Max video game from 2015 that's sort of a semi-tie in with Fury Road. And as it happens, Scrotus is the main villain of that game. Heard about it recently on some other podcast. I never played the game and had all but forgotten about it, but apparently that's where that character's fate is fleshed out (which also points to this Fury Road extended universe being a thing that George Miller had in his head for years).
I question if Sean has ever seen a peach before. I can’t believe no one called him out for this glaringly obvious peach. Peaches can range from red to yellow with all sorts of hues in between. The pit she carries for the whole movie is the exact same pit she picks from the tree in the first few minutes. Goes into her pouch>baddies take her pouch in the tent, start eating>mother takes pit from baddies>mother give it to Furiosa. Bottom line: pit is from a peach, not an apple (maybe a nectarine).
I feel like I was in the perfect place to see this. I generally just won’t watch prequels, and even when I give them a chance I don’t like them. This is one of the very few that I think just works so well. It’s such a great movie and I really loved Chris Hemsworth. Some of the CGI is a bit odd at times, but it felt like it was on purpose. I also saw some of the best scenes in any of the mad max movies. This movie feels like it’s easily a 4 star while the second mad max is a 4 to a 4 1/2 and fury road is a 5. But a lot of people seem to have so many problems with this movie. I was just so in, to the point where I did forget about furiosa loosing her arm even and forgot about furry road completely because I was just in. This never happens to me in prequels because you generally can’t care because you know where it will end. This one was pure George miller riveting purposive story telling.
Chris is right, ‘Road Warrior’ is better than ‘Fury Road’. The soundtrack is better. It has Mel Gibson who is better than Tom Hardy. It’s best 30 minutes are it’s last 30 minutes, whereas ‘Fury Road’s best 30 minutes are its first 30 minutes.
Weird take to say the "prequel to the prequel." The movie is literally called Furiosa. Why would it not cover the most important events in her childhood? Also just wild to say the nose is so distracting. The nose is literally so well done its entirely not noticeable! Even when light shines through it it still looks real.
I agree. Neither of those things were problematic in anyway. I don’t believe Chris actually picked up “air leaving the room” from the audience realizing they were going to be with the child furiosa for an extended period. The movie is fully absorbing from the jump. And the nose was perfect. It’s like they were straining to find things to complain about. Weird.
I felt like this movie is for the people who complained that there is not enough story in Fury Road, and all the things implied in that film is explained or showed more of in Furiosa, which I've spent a lot of time explaining to those people. So I was like yeah I know that and I understood that in Fury Road. With the Citadel, the Bullet Farm and the Green Place, and the wives. It's what bothers me with prequels in general. I wasn't that interested. Anya and the action set peices saved the film for me. It would have been better with more of Dementus and his story but set after Fury Road, with new things in place. Maybe more of the wars between the three houses.
When you had Joanna on the Big Picture Wonka Podcast, within the same hour she moaned about how Augustus Gloop was a 'Fatphobic' character, but then went on to mention Timothée Chalamet's 'skinny legs' numerous times. Every time she comments on appearance I always remember that podcast.
I think the issue with Anya as Furiosa is her physical presence. She cannot embody the character's physicality like Charlize did. I would've asked her to gain lbs for the character because it was hard to buy that she was powerful being so skinny. Charlize was very believable as a badass just from her physique alone. Anya did great with the face acting which is critical for the role but i found her arms too thin to carry the weight - literally.
So you’re worried about ticket sales and the state of cinema but dedicate over an hour to nitpick one of the best films of the year? Maybe use your reach to celebrate and contribute something positive. I don’t mind criticism, that’s why I love the show, but maybe get guests with different opinions? Furiosa is not Fury Road but continues to be compared to it. Yes the end credit montage was a terrible choice but everything before that was masterfully done and one of Miller’s best directorial efforts.
That’s literally all they do at the ringer especially. And when a big, empty movie they like comes along (like Dune 2), they’re happy to project their own ideas onto it and make it out to be the best movie ever

All they do at the Ringer is complain about the MCU and the “MCU-ification of movies” and yet they’re complaining that they “already know what’s gonna happen.” So basically they need to know there’s a next installment (like the MCU franchise) before they can enjoy the actual movie they’re watching. Instead of just appreciating a film for the path it takes. As usual, genuinely pathetic film criticism 💀

Movie fucking rules
I think Furiosa's arch isn't complete in this film because it's fully realized in Fury Road. She gets so caught up in revenge for the subjugation she faced under Dementus that she fails to escape to the Green Place. He then tells her to make it Epic. She then realizes she can save all of the breeder wives instead of just herself but by the time she is able to accomplish that the Green Place has fallen. There is no escape from this world into this 'perfect land' but she has to return and fix what they have.
Fury Road is so easily slotted in as Chapter 6 of this movie that they should almost be considered one. Mad Max & Furiosa: The Whole Bloody Mess
Well said, I agree. Still missed feeling a sense of change/ growth in her character walking out of the theater but that’s what Fury Road is for.
saw it in a pretty packed theater on Tuesday. the crowd was really into it!
Immortan Joanna, Christus Erectus, and Imperator Fenniosa
While I enjoyed our group's discussion, I find the emphasis on box office performance tiresome and largely irrelevant to whether a film is good or if you enjoyed it. This trend seems to be becoming normalized in film and other entertainment channels. Some of the best works of art, including my favorite films, music, games, and books, weren't huge financial successes. However, this never diminished my personal enjoyment or fan appreciation. Instead of focusing on the craft and how something makes us feel, we've turned a generation of filmgoers and entertainment lovers into accountants and financial analysts. What a sad state of affairs.
This movie fucking rocked. See it in the theater.
Joanna asking Sean if he softened his opinion on the movie because the box office sucked is why she is the best of the best for these shows. witness me, joanna

Respectfully, there’s no way Sean would outlast Amanda in the Wasteland. Amanda’s indomitable will to live (identified by Sean himself in the April 5, 2024 meltdown incident) ensures she will continue to barter her way into a comfortable lifestyle long after Sean has given up.
So glad we have video now, so much fun to watch these conversations.
Just an FYI on the off-screen death of Scrouts (17:00) - there's a Mad Max video game from 2015 that's sort of a semi-tie in with Fury Road. And as it happens, Scrotus is the main villain of that game. Heard about it recently on some other podcast. I never played the game and had all but forgotten about it, but apparently that's where that character's fate is fleshed out (which also points to this Fury Road extended universe being a thing that George Miller had in his head for years).
Did anyone else spot Johnny The Boy actor Tim Burns who returns to the Mad Max universe to play a Dementus henchman?
The motorcycle chase at the beginning of the movie is so good.
Yeah I've seen some people saying it dragged, but I was so enthralled. Side quest or not I was so in.
@@MatthewStasoff I'm surprised. I usually hate action movies but the action scenes in this movie were all terrific.
Having trouble telling if Fennessey's been huffing chrome spray paint or if that's simply his silver sabled beard.
I question if Sean has ever seen a peach before. I can’t believe no one called him out for this glaringly obvious peach. Peaches can range from red to yellow with all sorts of hues in between. The pit she carries for the whole movie is the exact same pit she picks from the tree in the first few minutes.
Goes into her pouch>baddies take her pouch in the tent, start eating>mother takes pit from baddies>mother give it to Furiosa. Bottom line: pit is from a peach, not an apple (maybe a nectarine).
These days I'm really jumping between Spotify and the UA-cam channel.
Joanna and Chris are an elite combo as well. Joanna is the PODMOTHER
Wish she would replace Mallory and Amanda permanently.
1:08:45 Chris has fucking 14 to infinite tabs opened on his computer
Not sure if this has been mentioned but I believe Scrotus meets his end in the Mad Max video game that was actually a tie-in to Fury Road!
I think George Miller disavowed the game, which is a shame. it was pretty good.
@@MasterSnipelythe game’s characters were amazing! Love me some Chumbucket, Stank Gum and Pinkeye
Joanna just pitched Waterworld😂
Scrotus died... in a video game. That was a weird thing to google after seeing Furiosa.
The best deep dive on Furiosa I've heard so far. I absolutely loved the film, and it comes close to Fury Road in terms of greatness.
I feel like I was in the perfect place to see this. I generally just won’t watch prequels, and even when I give them a chance I don’t like them. This is one of the very few that I think just works so well. It’s such a great movie and I really loved Chris Hemsworth. Some of the CGI is a bit odd at times, but it felt like it was on purpose.

joanna is so great (and so tall!) and so great. i love seeing her with chris and sean
lol we never read her caption on her socials that says “I’m taller than you think” seeing her next to mal I was like 🤯
YAY! CR & JO ❤
Chris is right, ‘Road Warrior’ is better than ‘Fury Road’. The soundtrack is better. It has Mel Gibson who is better than Tom Hardy. It’s best 30 minutes are it’s last 30 minutes, whereas ‘Fury Road’s best 30 minutes are its first 30 minutes.
Watched both today. Hard disagree
Furiosa should have come out in 2018 with Charlize Theron, and we should be getting a true Mad Max sequel right now with Tom Hardy
Stalin was actually a handsome man. A picture of a young Stalin went viral several years ago.

Charlize Theron has said many times she wanted to reprise the furiosa character.
IT IS A PEACH! 😂
WHO HAS SAID IT WAS BETTER THAN FURY ROAD?????? I have not seen a SINGLE review stating this.
This movie was great I don’t know what you people want.
Fury Road A+
Furiosa A-
Both great films by George Miller
I saw the George Lucas Cannes speech. I don’t know what Sean is talking about.
