Jess had never had the chance to "witness" any of the out-and-out craziness that is Mad Max: Fury Road when it came out in 2015: the wild vehicles, the War Boys, Immortan Joe (who will be referred to by a...*ahem*...different name most of the way through this episode), and the convoy of Max and Furiosa looking to find the Green Place. It goes about as well as you would expect in an Australian post-apocalyptic setting.

We're going to talk about women taking back power, bands suspended on top of big rigs, the "show don't tell" approach in movies, and a whoooooooole lotta weirdness. Also, Jess' "live tweet" style reactions are priceless. So grab a drink, but don't get addicted to the water.

Saved! is a movie Matt had always seen at the video rental stores but had never checked out. Maybe it's because it came out around the same time as Mean Girls (possibly), maybe it's because he didn't know it was supposed to be a satire (maybe), or maybe it's because he was too busy watching pretentious hipster movies (most definitely).

Now that Jess has introduced him to it, they get to talk about Billboard Jesus, Macaulay Culkin's hilarious two-wheeled character turn, how it stacks up to some other films in the teen/satirical movie canon, and the "2004" of it all. Will the Christian Jewels and their Bible tossing win the day?

Jess has seen a couple of the newer James Bond films with Daniel Craig, but never anything starring the original 007, Sean Connery. He's pretty to look at and everything, but in a spy movie made primarily for a male audience interested in spy movies and "being cool" in the 1960's...well, I think you might have an idea how Jess felt about A LOT of this one.

But this just means there is lots to talk about! There's Auric Goldfinger (great name), the arguable best Bond villain of all time, and his stalky Korean henchman Oddjob (even greater name), who may or may not be a fridge. There's the various women (with way more sexist names, mostly) that are not given a lot of agency. And there's Bond, his car, and the only thing he actually fears: a castration laser beam.
