About this listen

We finish our long detour from the Official M's with a stop at the guzzoline station once again with Nick, Elise, Anthony, Manny, and Dan. It's a thunderous ride through Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga — and it’s safe to say, George Miller still knows how to throw a punch (and then chase it down with a monster truck). This time, the Wasteland’s most metal myth gets the prequel treatment, and we’re all aboard for the full operatic fury of it.

From Hemsworth’s scene-chewing Dementus to Anya Taylor-Joy’s thousand-yard stare, we debate just how much Furiosa earns its epic runtime and whether it hits the same mythic highs as Fury Road. Is it better as a five-part saga than a traditional three-act film? Does it matter when the action rips this hard? Opinions fly as fast as buzzsaws, and no one escapes unscathed — especially not Dan, who’s doing some serious soul-searching over his Fury Road loyalty.

Naturally, the crew takes a few exits off Fury Road to explore long-distance hauls, “Oscar bait for people who like explosions,” and whether or not Dementus would’ve thrived on Tumblr. Elise breaks down the emotional calculus of biker gang vengeance, Anthony stans for gasoline-based morality plays, and Manny lurks in the audio shadows, sharing a mic with Nick and dropping chrome-dusted commentary when it counts.

If you’re still chasing that War Boy high or wondering how many bananas it would take to build an oil refinery, this one’s for you. Come for the dissection of Miller’s lore-building — stay for the fight about Fury Road vs Furiosa that will absolutely tear your soul in half.
