Episode 30: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Theme: Mad Max May
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis close out Mad Max May with Fury Road — the movie that proves George Miller spent 30 years asking, “What if we took a two-hour car chase… and made it perfect?”

Join your two favorite post-apocalyptic dads as they tear into:

• How Max doesn’t so much speak in this movie as he does grumble like a Roomba stuck under the couch.

• Furiosa — the one-armed diesel goddess who somehow makes driving a war rig, fist-fighting a blood bag, and teaching feminism look effortless.

• Immortan Joe, the world’s angriest blister in football pads, whose number-one concern is whether his five wives are still in their cartoonishly oversized Acme vault.

• Nux, the world’s nicest terminally ill war boy, who goes from “Witness me!” to “My girlfriend says I have feelings now.”

• The Doof Warrior — the blind, albino, bungee-cord guitar baron whose job description is simply: LOUDER.

• A chase sequence so nonstop that Oz and Curtis burn more calories watching it than they did running last year’s 5K.

• And of course, the scientifically accurate Cirque du Soleil murder-poles — because nothing says “apocalypse” like stuntmen swinging like angry metronomes.

From chrome hallucinations to exploding porcupine cars to the single most satisfying villain face-rip in cinema, the guys celebrate a movie so good it makes Thunderdome look like a middle-school talent show.

Final Verdict:

Oz — A++ (exempt from the final exam)
Curtis — 100 gallons of Mother's Milk
Both — Witnessed.
