This week on the program, where can I get that Immorten Joe breathing apparatus?
It's Matt Max Fury Road. I'm Andrew awaited in Valhalla.
Immortan, Steven Sadec.
Capine.
Damn you. I was going to say Immorten as well.
What was a Furiosa?
Imperator.
Yeah. Eric Siska.
And we love movies.
Hello, everyone, welcome to the program.
It's New Year's Eve. We are getting ready to count it down tonight.
Yeah, dude. We're here with Ryan Seacrest. We've got Lizzo is coming up a little bit.
Jenny McCarthy's taking some stuff down in the center. You're describing the apocalypse pretty well.
This is, of course, Mad Max Fury Road from 2015, the innocent year of 2015, directed by the genius George Miller.
This is the final We Love movies episode of We Love Movies Month.
why not end it
with one of the best movies
of the last fucking decade, man.
Yeah, that's what we were thinking.
This is it.
This is, like, really up there for me.
I didn't make a fucking decade list, but like...
I'm still working on mine.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I'm working on it.
I just, but it's really up there.
You're saying, had you done so.
Yeah, had I done it.
Right.
I'm not a list guy.
Yeah.
I'd love a good list.
Really?
I like Chris Cabin are listos, real list heads.
Right?
Well, you guys, what are you guys like,
Schindlers and what else?
Yes.
What are other lists
Shindlers, grocery, laundry
naughty list
To kill
Enemies list
Nottie or nice list
Or nice
Or nice
Put them on the same list
You got a separate list
Yeah separate list
Santa always has a separate list
Yeah
One's naughty and one's nice
I like both of them
I'm saving paper and going
Electronically this year
Oh really?
Oh yes
But he needs those little fingers
To make those fucking electronics
Dude, yeah, he's got to take those weird gloves up if he wants to do anything.
He's like taking snapshots of the Note app, like fucking giving an apology on Twitter.
That's how you do it, dude.
Santa, after the holidays, he starts wearing like those fingerless gloves.
That's a Santa that fucks.
Yeah, and he's looking like Joe Pesci and Home Alone, too.
I don't know, I feel like he's wearing those white gloves.
Leave no trace.
Because you can't see the cum stains?
Yeah, well, no, I mean, just the fingerprints.
It's also how he's constantly walking around the workshop, like running his finger over a table.
Like, I don't know, Elves, better try again.
Are you suggesting that Santa Claus is one of the kids from funny games?
Yeah, possible.
I know he's coming down the chimney dressed like Mark Wahlberg at the end of the departed.
Oh.
I can't leave any hair for DNA evidence.
So anyway, Mad Meg's Fury Ray.
Which is one of the best of the decade.
Yes, yes.
You know, this was only the second time I have seen this movie.
Ditto, actually.
And I'll tell you what, even though it seems like it was a movie that was built for this particular theater chain, I saw this at an Alamo draft house.
And seeing it this time, I was realizing all the shit that I was missing with all the table service and the clinkin and the clankin and this is the loudest fucking movie of all time.
I've learned that with the Alamo's.
I can't anything that's like intense.
but I really want to be super sucked in.
I'm seeing uncut gems in a couple of days.
I'm not going to Alamo because I don't want to do that.
I want to be just kind of a grimy movie theater.
We're Junkie XL serving the food at the Alamo draft house?
Because I was so loud.
I believe so.
Who could else make a louder score?
I mean, this thing is fucking huge.
That score, I mean, dude, it gets you going, man.
It was awesome.
I've never been happier to have, like, wireless Bluetooth headphones on
and just cranking it.
And my wife having no idea.
idea what's going on in the other room.
We watched it last night. I was like fucking white knuckling it on my
couch just like, oh fuck.
You know, you just starts pumping you, dude.
It's intense. And I was doing it. I was huffing spray paint.
Nice, good idea. A good high on.
Oh, so did I. Not from paint.
Honey, I'm shiny and chrome.
Try the paint. Now, crush me.
Kids at home, don't try the paint.
No, don't. Please don't. It's a waste of time in brain cells. Just smoke weed.
when you're old enough
when you're old enough
parental approval
a guy who's playing the tin man
that's what you look like
that's a bad joke
oh okay
like the wizard of Oz
what was the joke
that you look like
if you spray paint your teeth like that
you'll hear you hook it up with a guy
that played the tin man
and oh hooking up nice
it's like you're making out with someone
heartless
that's it right
because that tin man right didn't he had no heart
he had no heart yeah
he was a cruel
he didn't have the brain
he's a unfeeling killing
machine the tin man.
I'm a Terminator.
Makes the smile all the more eerie.
Oh, definitely. Yeah, why did he have
fucking human teeth? Terrifying.
I guess the lion had human teeth
too, sort of. Dorothy, I have nothing
inside. Just nothing
at all.
So this is the fourth
Mad Max movie, but the
first one to come out since the fucking
1980s. This poor bastard was
trying to get this movie made for like 20 years.
I'm actually glad.
kept getting delayed.
I was, like, I remember in real time
because I always loved the Mad Max movies
and I was like, oh man, God damn
Iraq War delaying this fucking movie.
Is one of the worst results of the Iraq War.
How unfortunate.
What, it delayed the movie?
Yeah, that it delayed the movie, man.
But it turned out to be one of the best things
that could have had,
one of the silver linings of the Iraq War
was delaying this movie because then
we lost Mel Gibson from it.
Yes, right, which at the time, you know, I think it was before, like, he went, he went bonkers a little after the Iraq War. Yeah. So I was like, I can't separate this, this actor from the character. How could someone else play this iconic role of Mad Max Rakitansky? Rockatansky.
But Tom Hardy delivers. He does. I feel like if Gibson did it, even like, say 2006 or something, it would have been like, you look at those later lethal weapon movies where he's just not, you know what I mean? Like, he's.
He's like not there.
He's like not the character anymore.
He's lost the thread from the character for sure.
He had already had the Jesus complex by the last Mad, by Thunderdome.
Thunderdome, he's a prophet at the end of it.
Thunderdome kind of rules.
I'm actually not a Mad Max guy.
Get the fuck out of here.
I like them all.
I think Thunderdome is the last, but it's got definitely a lot of good elements to it.
I like the sacks.
I love the sacks.
I love the fucking, the Thunderdome itself.
That's true.
Fine, but before you got to the studio, we were talking off the air, and Chris Cabin and I agreed,
anytime there's a thing where it's a sequel especially, where the previous movies didn't have,
but in this one you decide to include an army of children, you can get the fuck right out of town.
That's fair.
I hate the kids in that movie.
And he's a prophet.
They treat him like a prophet.
It's Waco.
I only saw it once.
I saw it at the museum and the moving image, and it was.
just on the big screen, I was way into it.
Yeah, I mean, there's fun set pieces in that movie.
And, Chris, to your point about it, it's Waco,
every single camp in this fucking thing is like that, right?
Oh, yeah, totally.
The Lord Humongous before him.
Now you have Immorten Joe.
It's all this cult of personal.
I just don't want it a candy-coated Waco,
which is what I feel like just going on in Thunderdome.
So cute Waco is what we're talking about?
Okay.
Nobody dies.
Everybody's fun.
At the end of it, it seems like.
I mean, so this is a weird,
it's like where to be.
with this movie? I don't really know. We were sort of talking about Tom Hardy. I do think Tom Hardy's
great in this movie. Yes. Although, God, I wrote it down like somewhere towards the end of my notes.
And now, oh, here's the thing. He doesn't talk a lot in this movie. I mean, Mad Max really isn't that
much of a chatterbox to begin with. He talks even less than Mel Gibson, I feel.
Here's a question, though, because he does have some lines towards the end of the movie. And like,
I guess like throughout, there's some scattered. But if you pick up on, if you're listening real
close. My question is, what
voice is he doing here? Because sometimes,
just sometimes, this
sounds like a bad Jamaican accent.
I think he's trying to do Australian. I think he's trying to do
Australia. I miss the Jamaican part. Deep town,
man. If I stumble across
it throughout the conversation in my lines,
I'll tell you the... Immorten Joe Mon. That was a bit
weird. Yeah, totally.
When he offered him a red stripe out of nowhere. No, there was just
one line particularly where I was like, what the fuck
accent is that buddy he's talking mostly in snarls yes yeah that's what i really like and what i think
happened is he wrote the script way back when for milk gibson and there were like let's say 50 lines
sure it got when the fucking phone call happened it went down to three the phone call and then when
tom hardy came board it went back up to 12 that phone call is an all-timer we that phone call uh dropped when
we were in college. And I think we
listened to it in our apartment like 40
times in a row. Because it's stunning and
terrible. This is when he's yelling at his
girlfriend at the time. Yeah.
It's like, holy shit, dude. You cannot
you can't be like a fun family
friendly figure after this phone call.
Did that happen before after the pullover?
Oh, I think that was all the same time.
It was all the same time. God damn. I think the
phone call was after though. I feel like the pullover
was kind of the first, the sign
of like, wait.
This guy stinks.
It was definitely, I feel like in my memory anyway.
It was one of them was big in like 2006.
Yeah, I think.
That sounds right.
I briefly worked a job at some media company, kind of like a temp type of thing.
And this dude was like doing this videos.
I'm really giving it to Mel Gibson.
It was just like, it was like one of those like 2006 internet videos that they're like,
this is going to go viral, right?
Because his eyes are spinning around on this video that I made.
Oh, fuck, dude.
Is that guy like the president of Comedy Central now?
Probably.
Head of a spinny eye development.
Yeah, I love...
Actually, his eyes are spinning around
and he's saying the sugar of whatever.
You know what I'm saying.
Whatever, man. He's got 60 people under him right now
at Comedy Central.
What's your name? Eric. Yeah, my name's Chuck Lurie.
Probably.
Lil Chuck Lurie.
I do like the beginning of this where,
A, thank God.
And I'm a fan
of a traditional. Here's the
title card, Fury Road.
Like, you know what I mean? We do this too
often now. We're like, we'll, oh, we'll do it
at the end. It'll be a surprise. You're watching Fury
Road the whole time. It's a movie,
you know what I mean? Like, just do.
Let me know that I'm sitting down in a
movie. Well, and
I mean, yes, I agree with you, but
also at the same time,
I don't know, aside from like if you
stumbled on something and you didn't have
a TV guide on your screen, like
I know what I'm watching.
Yeah, I guess that's true. I feel like it depends on
movie. More often than not, I do
appreciate the title up front.
It's fun. I miss the old title sequences.
I did too. Well, because like at the end
it's like, oh, hey, honey, that was
the dark night. Hey, he was the
dark night the whole time. Those Nolan
movies are rotten with it. Yeah, I really
don't like that. It's like a punchline.
It's like, okay, it's the movie.
That was like, I don't know if I've told this on the air.
I told you guys when it was happening, but
when we were just recently on tour, I think
it was the flight to L.A.
Was this when it happened?
I was watching a guy going through movies on the plane,
like in the seat in front of me.
And so it was the second time I sat through watching someone watch yesterday,
which fucking gut me.
But then what he watched after was the Dark Night.
And he was like sort of like scrubbing through the file
and just like fast forwarding to like action sequences
and like putting his hands together like, mm-hmm.
Like whenever they animate Homer like trying to really pay attention to something,
that's what this guy was doing.
He's breaking it down.
He's breaking it down in his head.
Right.
And so at the end of it, he watches the end sequence
and I'm watching the, you know, the bat cycle,
you know, going through the streets or whatever.
Got to get me one of those.
I'm imagining, like, the Gary Oldman narration over the end of the movie.
And then it's like, bong, the dark night.
And this dude, like, sat back in his chair just like,
mm, mm, mm.
It was like, mystery solved.
I've been watching the dark night the whole time.
And it was just kind of like a that.
how you do it. That's how you make a movie.
God damn it. Hey, honey, you know, last night
I watched this epic space adventure
with Matthew McConaughey in it.
And I turned it off right before the credits
came on. I think it was called Spacefella.
Oh man, Matthew McCona
in Spacefella? Hey, he asked me to
Space Fella. Sequel to Beach Bum,
by the way. I would so be there for that.
Yeah, so I mean, like Mad Max
gets opening, he gets
kidnapped by the War Boys.
We get right into like the haunted
past stuff. And
like the narration of these people
who he failed to save previously.
There's one line in this
this whole haunted memory thing that I love
that it's just, our bones are poison.
Oh, yikes.
Because of all the radiation.
Right, right, right.
Just our bones are poison.
Some of the shit, at least that he's seeing,
especially later in the movie,
is from other movies.
Yeah. They're referencing a good amount.
Because you see the death of the
guy that the actor who plays
Immorten Joe in like the first one
or whatever? To cutter, yeah. Yeah, you see his eyes
ball job. Yes, yes, yes, yes. He
sees that again. So that's like
directly saying to you like
this is the same character.
But you think that
toe cutter is Immorten Joe? No, no, no.
I'm just saying like because you see toe cutter.
You see footage from another movie. It's telling you
that this guy that you're
looking at is the Mel Gibson
character. But I forget if you even see
toe cutter die. You see a
Bubba died.
Well, I mean, you see the eyeball thing.
Yeah, Bubba's
cinematic Bubba's of the 80s.
That's where I'm all right.
No, I don't remember
if tow cutter dies. I'm just saying you see
the eyeball thing.
Yeah, I mean, there's a crash.
Yeah. But what a, I mean, what a good
way to bring this character back
into, like, again, it's been
20 some odd years, more than 20 years, almost 30.
Yeah. And like, usually
that's a terrible idea. I'm looking at you
Ghostbusters. You know what I mean?
But like you, the director always wanted to tell this story, which is kind of cool.
Speaking of terrible ideas, I'm going to get to it in a second.
But like, I love that this movie is sort of a sequel and sort of a reboot and it's not really connected.
And it is connected.
That's what's kind of great.
I think, well, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a big Mac's head.
But like, the three Gibson movies don't super tie together, do they?
A little bit.
Like, the thing is, like, the first Mad Max doesn't, it's not really even post-apocalyptic, it's just sort of society crumbling.
It's just starting to get there. Road Warrior.
Gas is starting to get scarce.
It feels like it could be 30 years after, but it's not.
Yeah.
And so they are connected, but the connections of the fans of this movie or the Mad Max series are trying to connect.
This is on IMDB Tribune, Trivia.
Ooh, the greatest source for movie news and internet tidbits.
And it's like this doesn't even belong in trivia because it's,
A theory, and it says warning spoilers.
A theory supposes that this was originally planned as a sequel to Mad Max, 1979, and a prequel to Mad Max 2, the Road Warrior, in 1981, with Immorton Joe as Toe Cutter, who survived the accident in Mad Max, but was badly injured, and Rick Dus erectus, the kid, the guy that is his son in this movie, the big dude, who lives at the engine walk.
Man, that guy has another spectacular death in this movie.
fan theory. And this is a fan theory
that IMDB published. Yeah, yeah, list
that. Publish. Approved.
It's published. It's an IMDB op-ed
column. Go with it.
Richtus erectus was supposed
to survive the accident at the end of the
film to become Lord Humongous
in the role. Oh, shut the fuck.
Thank you. Just shut the fuck up.
Yeah, that's a bit much. You know what I mean? Just let it be
a movie. Not only that, this continues. This is
non-substantiated by any
comments in the creators
or directly
whatever.
That's IMDB covering its
ass, I guess.
I'm just having fun with
myself.
But that's the thing
is that's what's so cool
about this movie
is like it has
elliptical references
characters that are similar
like obviously
Rickus Erectus
is similar to
Lord Eumongeth
and also
Blaster at least.
You know what I mean?
Like you always
get a big fucking
Hulk king dude
to the Mad Max movie.
I love the reference
to white zombie
having him look like
Rob Zombie
when he gets fun
when they take him
when the fucking
war boy
get him. He's got the fucking beard
and the goddamn head. Yeah, it's great.
He really looks like he's been held in
some fucking castle tower
dude with this look they give him.
It's not great. They cut it
immediately. Yes, thank God.
And like, so he's
and like this is we kind of get the credits going
on like as he's any, he's
going through this like chamber of horrors
and all this shit. And it's like
I, at what point
in the Mad Max world do I kill myself?
It would have been 20 years ago. It really
Oh, I wouldn't live to see any of this.
Absolutely not.
They're getting good at stopping suicides, though, in this.
It looks like they've really gotten it down to his science.
Because he's about to jump off the damn cliff.
Yes, he is.
And they stop him, but he does jump and it gets that hook thing.
But I think he's like, if I make the hook, great, if I don't.
Hey, whatever.
That's why he's so good at being, you know, mad max.
because it's like, hey man, fuck it.
Like, if I jerk the wheel right now and survive this wreck, okay.
But you know what?
If my head is crushed like a grape, hey, that's cool.
Fuck it.
One less thing to deal with.
But I'll tell you what, though, like, as far as, like, when society starts crumbling,
let me tell you, there was a time kind of within the last, like, 10 years where there was
some sort of gas situation and, like, people were going to the, and, like, the last.
lines for the gas stations
down the road. This is a Joker thing.
No, no, no, no, no. But I was just
like, fuck, they're lining up. They're lining up
at the gas station. And I was like, all right,
you better start thinking about when you're going to kill
yourself. If the apocalypse is happening
right now. Because people were in line for the
gas at the gas station. But it was like, down
the street. And you were like, well,
this might be the damn killing myself.
Down the street.
Those cars were waiting for gas. Pisa tracker.
Hold on a sound. You've got a gun in your
mouth. Okay. So,
never worry about that
when a bunch of kids
like doing descent creature
cosplay start running after you
in the middle of the street
then worry.
Yes, that's the end of the world.
So in the late 1970s
if you were around
as a gas buying adult man
and there was gas rationing
I'd be considering
fucking walking off a pier
dude. Really? Yeah.
Just because it's like okay so my license plate
ends with this so I can only buy gas
on even days you'd be like that's it
fuck it. Well now once the system
was in place, that's a little something.
Once they started marking
the license plate policy, that's
something. It's a transitional period you're worried
about. Dude, I think about
the next four years and I'm like, hey man, I don't
know. Yeah, I mean, that's just what. Don't
move to Miami. This podcast might be
over soon because we might be dead.
Hey, actually, that's the thing, though. If we're just out on like,
it's like that movie Pirate Radio
with Philip Seymour Hoffman. I could get into
that. We're just like out the middle of the ocean
just potting.
because there's nothing left
and we don't even know
finally marry a goat
scavenging for fucking DVDs that
floated to the top
of the fucking waters
Yes
New York Public Library
Whoever listens to the show
would think it's like
War of the World's broadcast
Like the movie they're describing
Is real
Because we don't know what movies are
Apologies we're doing
Jerry McGuire again
I guess we're finally doing
The Sixth Man
Who knew that was the one
that was going to survive.
Yeah, so Max is captured by the warboys.
He's dragged back to the Citadel,
which is basically the little community
that Immorten Joe has enslaved
a large chunk of the human race
that's left on this planet.
Or at least in Australia.
I'm always kind of curious,
like, what's China up to?
What's the United States of America up to?
This could be what Australia actually is like now.
Yeah.
I can't be 100% on that.
We haven't been.
But there are...
What's the war...
If you're in Australia,
right in in the warlord situation
in your town.
Dude, we're going to get some email
that's like, well, you know,
I know you guys were joking,
but guess what?
Bullet Farmer has some good policies.
He's a real guy.
He's a senator from Tasmania.
Look, he cares about sovereignty,
all right?
That's what he really cares about.
We do get coming up,
we do see there's a, there's an opposing force to a Moten Joe, which is these, uh, dudes driving the
spiky trucks. Oh, yeah, those dudes. Oh, the Russians? Yeah, they're right. They speak Russian.
And towards the end of the movie, there's like the salt flats. So I'm like, is that the ocean? Is that
like it's just dry now? So we're just, the Russians are driving down from Asia. The spike cars are also a
nod to Peter Weir, a fellow Australian, uh, director. Oh, right. The cars that A Paris. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a spiky car in that that eats people kind of.
That's a great movie that more people should see the cars that ate Paris.
Peter Weir is great.
Yeah, I don't know if that's like the ocean,
but like that is the thing that they sort of hint at at the end of this movie is like
because like that's where Charlize wants to go.
Yeah.
Because I start thinking back about history and the, the Alaskan, what was that?
The bearing straight.
Thank you.
Oh, I know it's going.
Look at this guy remembering.
Yeah.
You could walk across from Alaska to Russia.
Oh, the land bridge.
Yeah, so I'm wondering, like, is that happening again?
So it'd be like the opposite.
Realistically, this should be water world, maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, they...
But that would be boring.
Thankfully, it's not.
Wait, what's it called the area?
Bering Straight.
So what episode of Chop did you learn that from?
First of all, I've got knowledge outside of the world of Ted Allen productions.
All right.
Good to know.
I was just checking.
Ted Allen.
But, Chris, they used to teach that in,
I think I learned that first,
in elementary school.
It's possible.
I don't know if they teach any more than the water
that's now in betwixt the two.
Yes, yeah, sure.
It wasn't the name of the connecting land.
Anyways.
I think Jeopardy would accept both answers.
Oh, no, Alex Trebek.
Oh, I don't think so, my friend.
You're penalized.
And stupid.
So, yeah, we meet Immorten Joe,
who's this big hulking nightmare.
This is really like
Rassler hair.
When they're like they're spraying that powder on his body
and they put on like that Darth Vader
chest plate. Yeah.
I love all the fucking metals.
One of them is like a circuit.
Yeah.
Get that for killing a robot?
I think it's a wrestling circuit.
I think that's what he's an old wrestler.
That could be.
Have the men return from the gold bond minds yet.
Immorton Joe looks like
if Blanca lived to be an old man.
old man Blanca?
You think he'd be vicious in his old age?
Oh yeah, he's just, because he's had it
on the streetfighter circuit, dude. It's all politics.
Also, he can't do the electricity thing anymore.
Right. He's an old man.
That's the biggest problem. I can't shoot.
But what he can shoot is his cock
because he's, Morton Joe is setting up this whole baby farm.
Yes. And apparently this has been going on for a long time.
He's got a milk farm. He's got a baby farm.
And he's got actual farms on the top of these mountains.
Like had Jeffrey.
Epstein lived until his 80s. This is what would be had. He cried tears of joy when he saw this
movie. So I got the idea. Do you know that Jeffrey Epstein saw Mad Max Fury Road? Is that a fact?
He had to. Oh, yeah. It was a huge movie at the time. It was a huge movie. It was a huge movie.
He probably saw it with Bill Gates. Whatever other weirdos he hangs out with. Geez, I hate these
reserve seats, eh, Jeff? Wow. Bill Gates is on my side.
You can get the combo. I'll share it with you. I'll have the popcorn. You can have the soda.
I know I owe you for the plane right. That's why I'm getting the popcorn. No, we're not going to Frozen. We're seeing madmats.
They don't always have goobers, you know. I need a second choice. No, I can afford it. No, the question I had was, so the machine stopped churning, there's no more water.
Yeah. What's the Cialis situation? Because I mean, like, how's this old fucker keeping it up?
Oh, how is he impregnating anyone? Hot sauce on the taint, dude.
No, that's the Bob Bowdenk story from that
Curbenthusiasm episode.
Whereas he's the retired porn star.
I mean, Picasso was in the similar shape
prior to a lot of medical modern.
Picasso's Darth Vader chest plate that he famously had.
I think he had a similar setup in fucking Spain or whatever.
He was just coming on the beach
until he was in his late 70s or mid-70.
And he owed all the water.
in Spain.
Yeah, he called it
Aqua Cola.
What a fucking asshole.
Dude, aqua cola,
man, that sucks.
I love it.
Because it's like...
It just makes me think
Crystal Pepsi, which is frustrating.
Right, but like if the events of this
film actually happened in someone like Trump or something
came to power and controlled all the water,
he would call it something stupid like aqua cola.
That sounds exactly right.
I mean, this is, I mean, it's very Trumpish, right?
The whole situation...
I mean, we're not the first people in the world to say this,
but it's...
It's a cult of personality, man.
I assume that most of these, like, the chemical compounds he needs to stay alive.
Yeah.
Are made by the little guy, corpus.
Oh, yeah.
The other son.
Yes.
The guy who's, like, in the little swing that's always watching the telescope and stuff.
Father, there is something happening with the war boys.
The look on his face when he finds out that in Morton Joe's dead at the end, I felt for that.
I fell for him.
Well, he knows it's not going to be.
Exactly.
It's not long for me.
It's done.
Done.
Just throw me off this balcony.
Yeah, someone's about to take my bassinet and throw it off this clip.
Oh, yeah.
Wait until my brother Rick did.
What happened?
Oh, oh, yes.
Yes, let them up.
Let them up, please.
Welcome.
You need me to buzz you in?
All right, I'll buzz you in.
No, wait, I think you missed it.
Do it?
No, get your hand off that.
No, hang on.
Now, okay, I'm going to push it now.
Because we, yeah, we see a Morton Joe sort of meet his followers.
It's kind of great.
He lets like a trickle of water out.
And then he speaks like the devil.
I don't know, like, I don't know what's this voice modulation is.
It sounds like the devil and Homer Simpson episodes are,
you are not smarter than me, Homer Simpson.
Totally does.
Do not become addicted to water.
Soon you will resent, because then you will resent its absence.
but so what are they doing
drinking their own piss? I mean, you're doing whatever
you can do. A little bit, dude. Yeah. He speaks
a little bit more. I think he's rationing it. He
speaks more eloquently than Trump
ever. Oh, sure. Oh, yeah. I don't know
if Trump could get through absente. Jim Orton
Joe could win a debate against Donald
Trump. Oh, of course. And I would
vote for Immorton Joe over Donald Trump.
He also... Morton 2020, dude.
He puts shit together faster than
Trump would, too. Like, he realizes at the end
that they're going back to the Citadelic immediately.
I don't. Hey, Vahaw. Sounds
great. Let's go to Vahala. There is one strikingly unbelievable part of this fantasy movie
where it's when he realizes that all the women are gone. Yeah. And there's a shot of Immorten Joe
like sprinting down this hallway. Yeah. I was like, yeah, right. I don't think so, sir. It's a
holding a shit run. It's a wide stance. It's almost like a dance down the corridor. I kind of wish he felt
in the hallway, like De Niro
at the end of the Irishman.
Just kind of like...
But yeah, so he's
sending Furiosa. She's got to run
to make. She's got to go to
gasoline town.
Gas town, yeah. Gas town
and the bullet farm.
Right. Just pick up some supplies.
Just running some errands. Just your
average day in Mad Max world.
Is Margaritaville still in
It's right next to bullet farm.
When you get across the salt flats,
it's just past the cheeseburger in paradise.
Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Yeah, so Charlize Theron as Emperor, Furiosa.
Is that what you say it?
Imperator?
Yeah, Furiosa.
It probably flows better than that.
Try.
Yeah, it wouldn't be butchered.
Yeah, I don't know.
Let's see if Trump gets through Imperator.
That would be something.
Which is a generally, a general type thing.
there's other people. It's kind of cool. Like, I didn't
watch the second time I saw it. Like, I like
seeing her at the end fight the other
Imperator, that other dude who's got the same kind of cool
spray paint eye situation. Oh yeah, totally.
Yeah. Yeah, Imperator. I-M-P-E-R-A-T-O-R.
Does you go to the internet?
Yeah, do you find your little boy.
Excuse you? What?
Steve wants, for context, for new listeners,
Steve once put on a video of a little boy saying a word.
And I'm wondering
Oh, to get the pronunciation
And now presenting my
Imponima Furioso
My Eponema Furioso
My Eponema
And we love the bullet farm
Don't we folks?
What do you got your kid?
You're pulling something up over here?
Tim Apple's going to play us a clip, folks.
Maybe, maybe not.
Give it up for...
Imperator or imparotter.
Imperator.
Imperator, it says.
Imperator, or Imperator.
No, there you go. So one or the other.
That's Charlize. So she is
taking the war rig, which is the big
ass motherfucking truck, and she's
going to go on this run to pick up...
By the way, could you pick up cigarettes, please?
We need some more diet aquacola
as well. Stop by cigarette
city for me. Oh man,
cigarette city. That's where I would live
and it would be disgusting.
How hell you do it in Cigarette City?
I'm the mayor and I'm his wife.
Yeah, it's cool.
Just hanging on Cigarette City, man.
Bill Morris would still be around.
Oh, you know what could still be around?
Maybe it would be a fun place to visit with the kids as Candy Land.
Oh, definitely Candyland would be down there too.
Not the Leonardo DiCaprio Candyland.
No, no.
What's the fun one?
Everybody's going to Booze Bayou.
Oh, dude.
Candyland like the game Candyland
That's a real thing
Come on
What?
It's a game
We're talking about cigarette
Fucking city
None of this is real
There's a real cigarette city out there
It's gone
Uh
Yeah
You want to go on down
A cigarette city dude
Oh yeah
Go to the booze place
Make up the booze
I'll trade you some cigarette
And no filters
Are loud
Oh yeah
currency here in Cigarette City
is nothing but Marlboro Miles.
We killed off
American Spirit
25 years. Yeah, I think
I think Morton Joe ripped off
all the filters to put in his mask.
Oh, got it. He was born in Cigarette
City. That's why he needs that mask.
But he's ascended now
to his own Citadel.
So Charlie's fucking puts the
pedal of the metal, gets out of here.
These are best role ever.
I think so.
Yeah, I think I'm there.
And what I love about this diversion is like she's driving East and that dude,
like the middle management dude is like, what's going on, boss?
Wait, we're going to the Bull of Farm first.
Wait, we're going East.
I'll pass it down the line.
Yeah, and that's what's awesome is like he doesn't even question it.
He's like, well, my boss has now turned east.
So by the way, boss, I really appreciate you not looking at the things on my neck.
I never get to say it.
you're so nice
about not making a big deal
about the big lumps on my neck
what is the deal
with Goitertown here
I mean I just think it's just
you know radiation
radiation
oh sure
because there was that
two-headed lizard
at the very start
Max steps on
and then eats
he eats like baby Yoda
a little bit
that's right
he's just as adorable
yeah
one in the same
Mad Max and baby Yoda
but it's cool
it's cool that she is like
kind of it's it's kind of her movie
but it's also Max's movie like it is
50 50 more so than any other
Mad Max movie I'd say the
scale sways more towards
furious no for sure it's right which is what's awesome
because I love the idea
that Mad Max is kind of just like a facilitator
for this story to exist yes
which is kind of you know this is the thing that
a lot of fucking idiots on the internet
four years ago had problems with when the movie
oh man
this Walman movie
well he's strictly a
badass and they don't give them anything more than that.
And that's what is actually good about it.
Like they do so much like moralizing in the first three.
And that's kind of the weakest part of those movies, I think.
And like this one, he's just like a badass.
And he does all the badass stuff while all the like interesting stuff goes to her.
But even when he's like being nice, it's fucking badass as hell.
Like when he fucking rides off, he's like, it's a great exchange.
I don't remember exactly what it is.
She's like, well, what happens if you don't come back?
And he's like, you keep going.
Yeah, you know, and then, like, that explosion happens
and he just comes back with someone else's blood all over him.
Like, he's doing a thing that's, like, nice in the sense that it's continuing the mission.
But, like, that is still just badass as fuck, however many people he just murdered and blew up.
But he's also somewhat villainous in, not villainous, but, like, you know, he's fucking with her for a little bit.
It's survival, right?
Yeah, right?
Yeah, right.
He's just trying to survive through the wasteland.
He'll do that in any way possible.
And it gets to the point.
where it's like, well, I'm going to have to team up with Furiosa.
That's my best chance of survival.
She gives them, I mean, like, we're going to get into this,
but she, like, starts to understand that he's the guy
who needs to see something from her first.
Yeah.
And then he immediately was like, yes, okay,
if I see that you're willing to do this stuff,
and that's where their relationship really comes out.
Well, it's like when you're trying to get a dog to trust you.
You know, you got to, like put your hand out,
like your dogs smell the hand a little bit.
Like Mad Max is the dog in this situation.
Yeah, too bad they're out of jerky.
Hey, boss, Tony couldn't help but notice we're not,
going to Gasoline Town.
Just Tony in the back.
He's in the caboose.
He's got the guy with the one eye.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Yeah, big goiter right on his left shoulder.
Thanks for not mentioning Tony's goiter also, by the way.
So after she tells this dude, like, hey, it's fine.
This is where we're going.
The guy kind of like squirms away.
And this is where you see the women start kind of crawling out of the hiding space in the rig.
And then you realize like something's up.
We go back to the Citadel.
And this is where Immort and Joe does that.
hilarious hallway run and like yeah there's
there's a lot of cool graffiti here like
who who killed the world
we are not things yes
our babies will not be warlords
or something and lady this old
lady who's like I'm to the caretaker
of the five brides you just
got to shoot this dude you've got a shotgun
what does she fucking do it she's
talking about it so she can get a snappy line
in exactly you know what you don't care about
the fucking post apocalypse my friend's
snappy lines exactly just end
him this is cute Waco that's
probably why she hesitated
as she was one of the brides
like 10, 20 years ago.
Her and Immorten Joe were high school
sweethearts.
Yes, exactly.
It's Cigarette City?
Oh, yeah, dude.
I would like...
Prom king and queen.
Invite you to the apocop.
It's like a sock hop, but it's for the apocalypse.
Miss Giddy, would you accompany me
to the end of the world?
Emmart and Joe, would you like to come with me
to the Sadie Apocalypse dance?
Cigarette City High.
It's the end of Greece, but no one can dance because they're all out of breath due to emphysema.
But she's like, hey, yeah, I let him go.
Yeah.
No, you've got a shotgun.
You see this fucking asshole right in his head.
He's good, you know?
Because he's slowly running everybody.
It's pretty dumb.
But he gets her and he kills her and like he realizes.
I mean, it is like the Waco stuff.
It's really important and cool.
because this is what happens in these fucking shit-ass societies.
It's like, the one guy is like,
uh, new rule, I get to have sex with whomever I would like to have sex with.
And everyone's like, oh, cool, that's what Jesus said.
Awesome.
That's in the Bible, huh?
Well, the Lord, the Lord came to me specifically and spoke last night when no one else was around.
The Lord says I may lay with your hot wife.
It's not the ugly wife.
It is in the Bible.
It's in the back.
I don't know.
You might not have gotten there.
It's in the back.
Send out my wife spotter
He's just got a guy in the crowd
Working the wrong
You got a wife with you
Be a lot cooler if you did
The wife spotter's giving out
Like VIP badge
Just go to the back
Oh man
Hang out with the Morton Joe
It's cool yeah bring your wife
Oh no you can't go
No Morton Joe's gonna hang out with her
Alright listen if your wife doesn't have
A neon green wristband
You gotta get the fuck out all right
This is like a Ryan Adams concert.
Oh, you want to see you, Morton, huh?
Why don't you give me some of your blood?
That's the most valuable thing around here.
Give me some of your mother's milk, which is another fucking gross part of this movie.
Hey man, there's no cows, right?
And you need that milk.
You need to drink milk.
I guess so, man.
I guess there's just not much to eat.
So it wouldn't, I mean, like, not an ideal situation.
No, not a negative situation.
But the sustenance you get from milk is probably, you know, better than water.
Or water is good.
You want water.
Dirt is bad.
None of the poor people are getting milk.
Yeah, they're, I don't know what they're eating.
This is the.
They're drinking literally eating dingleberries down there.
They're having dingleberry salad.
Oh, come on.
Dingleberry is, what, you're nuts?
No, that's a little piece of.
of shit that's hanging from your ass.
It's usually trapped in the
ass hair. It's what the little
the toilet paper bears suffer from
constantly.
Right, right. The Charmin
toilet paper bears. Oh, maybe that's what
Emorton Joe was a Charmin toilet paper
bear. God robed.
The radiation
made all the fur fall off and everybody's
had that powder. My hidey's
clean.
Shiny and clean.
Now I could go to
swimming again in this pond.
Oh, gross.
So while all this is going, so he freaks the fuck out and he's like soundly alar, by the way,
this woman is murdered.
Yeah, yeah, she's killed.
So he's like, you know, soundly alarm.
We've got to go after Furiosa.
She's stolen my brides.
Yes.
And my property, which are all these unborn children.
Some of these women are pregnant.
His quote unquote, breeders.
Priced breeders.
They didn't take the shitty ones.
Yeah, so I guess there's other, there's like, there's like a minor league team.
somewhere as well.
That was the scenes deleted.
It was the Roseanne cameo.
Yes, bring me back, Kim Deals banned.
Yes, I am of the minority opinion
that they're better and more prolific than pixies.
Now get them back here.
Get and say, prepare to shake.
Fire the cannonball.
Oh, driving on nine.
Great one was we're driving right now.
I play that for all my breeders.
Oh, gross.
But yeah, and this is when we meet Mad Max again.
He's a blood bag for Nicholas Holt.
Also, I think his best performance for sure.
Nicholas Haltz, this time around,
I was like, this dude's fucking awesome in this movie.
This is the favorite.
The first time I saw it, too much fucking plate clanking
and fucking beer bottle picking up.
It sounds like your fault.
Don't go there.
I know, but sometimes you fucking want Kso.
And here's the thing.
You can get it after the movie.
First of all, this was four years ago.
It was before this fucking theory was solidified,
but you're totally right because it's any time you want to pay attention to anything.
Yes.
Don't go there.
And like, I'm not knocking that chain.
I like going to them, but like if it's anything you remotely care about,
go someplace else.
I've seen, like when I saw The Last Jedi, I saw it in a regular theater,
and then I went back and I saw it again at the Alamo.
that I was really glad it wasn't my first
go around. Our first go-around for
Rise of Skywalker is going to be at an Alamo
just like for a ticketing reason. And I know I'm going to see it again.
Yeah. I don't want to hear the complaining about the clanks.
Listen, here's the thing. I saw up... Christmas with the clanks over here.
Christmas with the clanks. No, because listen, I'll tell you what. I saw Force Awakens
and Last Jedi both at Alamo's. No problem.
problem. My ideal alamo is a, is in any MCU joint. You know what I mean? I am there to get a little, a little buzzed. I want to get some food, you know, and I could look away. We saw far from home. It was fine. I never, I did it once with a wrinkle in time. That's the only time I've been to an alamo. And I don't, the only time you went to an alamo drafters was to see a wrinkle in time. Yes, that was it. I had to call time in Austin. What do you want for me? But I don't like, I don't, I don't, I don't, I really don't like the cutesy, like food. Like, I'm going to go to see.
rise of Skywalker there, I get Chewbacca chili
or some fucking nonsense.
Oh, I like that. It's cute. Yeah, I like
I kind of like cute food. I kind of like the cute stuff.
I think I'm in the middle. I think it's cute and I'll
never order it. I look
at it and go,
I hear, now give me a beer. I hear
here's your Skywalker sliders and I
suddenly die inside completely.
I mean, I can understand that. The only time
I really like going to YALMO is when they do
a marathon. I like to sit there for
six movies and then you eat
like lunch and dinner there. I saw Godzilla.
there perfect movie. That's a perfect one.
That's a perfect one. I went.
Or, so the other thing is whenever they do a
repertoire, this is a fucking weird commercial for them,
but whatever. When you do the repertoire
thing, like I've seen McGruber a thousand times.
I saw McGruber there and like Forte was
there. I got fucking shit-faced. It was
great. Immorten Joe
in the fucking clan here. Let's
get back to it now. So
um, so yeah.
Holt. Holt. Holt. Holt was awesome.
Also, anyone noticed the doctor?
The doctor character. He's not really. I'm sure
this guy does not have a degree.
Oh, no, no, that guy wasn't certified for anything.
His name's organic?
Is it?
Yeah.
Is Dr. Organic?
No, I guess.
I don't think he...
I guess because it deals with organic life, he like...
They just keep on calling up the Holtz and his guy who looks like flee's son.
Yeah.
Slit, I think he's named.
Oh, Slit.
Yeah, you're totally right, actually.
They keep on calling him like, organic.
How are you doing, organic?
I'm like, it's Angus.
What's his name?
Yeah, from...
from Fargo Season 2, the
Big Brother there. Oh,
oh, that guy you're talking. Oh, okay. Angus Sampson,
yes, that's where I knew him from.
It was totally killing me yesterday. This guy's great.
Also a cult horror movie
100 Bloody Acres, which is pretty good.
Yes. Oh. Another
well, so then, yeah, this
another Australian movie. So Mad Max
is a universal donor
question mark, and I don't know what kind of
blood tests we're doing or... Well, I don't know. I mean, yeah, he's
oh negative. Wasn't it something about
did they here's here was the question
did they glean that from the tattoo on the
back or were they putting all of that
they were putting it on that entire
thing in that one sash
Jesus Christ it's gonna be paying through the nose for that
thing it even goes on to say like
how like where he would
like IMDB trivia has the whole
thing I don't know how it accurate it is
but do they even say like how he was run down
on the highway like lone road warrior whatever
oh cool of like how they found
him and it was like like
it says like psychotic keep muzzles
because he tried to escape on the hook.
Right, right, right.
And he's got this, he's like basically just feeding blood to Nicholas Holt.
Nicholas Holt wants to get in the chase.
But the thing is like, I don't know, man, like, Mad Max, I never see him in this movie.
Like, he's giving a lot of blood.
Like, the first half of the movie is giving blood.
I never see him drink orange juice or eat a small bag of pretzels.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I give him a little cookie afterwards.
I give him a little woozy afterwards.
I need a little cookie.
Well, la-di-da, audience, Steve say that.
That gives blood.
I've never given blood.
You want it.
Come and fucking take it.
Again, ramping up
options for your assassination,
by the way.
But no, yeah.
He doesn't drink.
You know, he's not taking a nap.
It is kind of nuts that he's not just like falling over.
I need apple juice.
I need apple juice and a brownie, please.
Give me something with some sugar.
Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.
And also infection.
rampant my lord the dust
he's just running around
with this thing yeah the first thing
the man does is eat a two-headed gecko
yeah that's true the guy is
fucking rampant with it all those
fucking bones crunching man
yeah but you're not you're not like aiming
to live to be an old man that's
also true it's like whatever you get an
infection and die in my 40s
I mean that's on par with what we're gonna
oh yeah for sure if I keep
stopping at Cigarette City for sure
he becomes Nicholas Holtz car medallion
which is kind of awesome
I love this whole set of
Nicholas Holt is what's his name Hux by the way
Nux? Nux yeah yeah
and like because he wants
to be part of the action but he has to get this blood
transfusion so he just brings Max
along as it like kind of
straps him to the front of the car
because the other guy is like there's a driver
and a Lancer which is just a dude with a
fucking spear that's going to just start stabbing shit
pretty sweet dude if you ask me
answer like that one time in Juarez
oh wait no different
movie
oh I was thinking of trancers
actually
oh shit with Tim Thomerson
Tim Thomerson and he had a dollman himself
right Helen Hunt yeah
she's in the first transers
never saw it's stupid
but it's check it out dude
I have all I have like a four set
on DVD I haven't seen
past transers one but it's one of those
movies that if we did an episode on it, no one would
listen to it. Yeah, well, like, what is this?
I'll see you next week. 300 diehards.
That's about it. Right.
So, yeah, like, and they're just
they're all driving towards Furiosa. Furosa
is fighting off these
spiked cars, which is a lot of fun.
This is what I appreciate about Immorton
Joe, by the way. Not only does he talk
the talk, but he walks the walk. Because
this motherfucker is getting in the cars
with everybody and drive. It's not like
it's not like fucking Darth Vader.
Yeah. Right. You know, which
I know Vader sometimes gets in on the action,
but it's mostly like after everything is settled.
Palpity.
He's not palpity.
He's not like, oh.
That's a better analogy.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Because Vader does do that Death Star run.
Vader's got to wash out his air holes or whatever the fuck happens in that little bug.
But Vader does conveniently come down after the Hawth battle is pretty much settled.
Yeah.
You don't see him helping out there.
At Hawth?
Yeah.
He walks around.
After it's settled.
That's what I'm saying.
Morton Joe's out there from the jump.
He's leading the call.
he's leading the jump. And what I also appreciate about
the war boys and in Morton Joe's
operation, they're like, we're going to get the
buzzards off her back. Then we're going to
deal with our own internal politics. This
other crew is trying to jack this war rig.
Right, these Russians. Hands off, man.
Well, because, I mean, she's got like
3,000 gallons of gasoline, which is, you know,
that's like 2 million bucks. Do you think
in like a different version of
this script, she stopped successfully
at Gastown first? Because why
does she have so much gas here? Yeah, that's a
good question. And then she's going to use some
of that gas to buy her way
through passage with the dirt bike boys.
Isn't most of it water and then
the little bulb at the
back is gas. Right.
But they do say 3,000 gallons at some point.
But I think it's water. You could probably fit
3,000 gallons in that little bubble.
Yeah, that's true. The deal with the
ridge guys with the dirt bikes
was for guzzaline.
So that little fuel pod definitely does
have gas in it. And then I think
the rest of it's just water. I think you're right,
because that's what the hoses hooked to when
they're like washing themselves off and whatnot,
which was definitely doing it for a lot of people
in movie audiences, I guarantee.
All right, fine, I'll accept the lady scenes now.
Well, it turns into Obrothera Rata for five seconds
when they're just like down by the lake.
Right, just washing themselves doing their siren song.
Go to sleep you little Maxie.
There's one dude in this.
I thought he turned you into a tone.
Let me tell you, by the way,
Just another sidebar is whatever.
But I have started watching Watchmen.
I'm fucking in it, man.
I just finished episode four.
Tim Blake Nelson is one of today's greatest working actors.
He's great.
He's so much fucking great in it.
But I'm just saying like...
Because Eric is doing whatever the fuck he's doing in that show.
And I kind of love it.
Jeremy Irons?
Yeah, he's just insane.
But yeah, anyway, that's a whole other podcast.
It's awesome.
But yeah, so we're all driving around.
Max is just strapped to this car.
The war boys are going nuts.
At this point, like, there's...
Oh, that's right.
Like, basically, like, they're...
I think Nicholas Holtz is going to kill himself
to get her, is his idea.
Yeah, well, it's the whole witness me...
Thing.
Suicide thing. Although the first witness me suicide you see
is the other dude...
Oh, right. Who jumps onto the spike car
with the exploding spear.
Yeah.
Man, just...
I mean, I know it's not news to anybody,
but like the stunt work in this movie
and the practical fucking effects, man.
Like, sorry Marvel movies.
Eat your fucking heart out, man, honestly.
I mean, it's the biggest technical...
I mean, that's the thing is this...
That's why it's kind of a little hard to talk with this movie.
It's so much stunt, so much technical achievement
and so much pace.
It's all like just complete...
From here on out, we're just driving.
We're having a great time.
It's so visual that it's very hard to...
to get into it because the plot is pretty straightforward.
Yeah.
They literally drive as far as they can go and then turn around.
I mean, that's a little bit of a K-turn and come back.
They end where they start, you know.
But I fuck, yeah, I love the witness me think.
It's a really cool idea.
Again, like, it's like this weird, you get so much of this religion.
I want more of it just because I'm a weird religion fanatic.
But at the same time, it's totally fascinating.
Yes, especially just like the use of the word Valhalla.
and it's like, so why is it they decided to pull from that versus anything?
I mean, because we're not mentioning the Lord Jesus Christ anywhere.
Yeah, I mean...
Is this Christianity come up in the first three movies at all?
I can't remember.
Remember, there aren't many people who remember a time of books.
Yeah, it's true.
He might have just picked Valhalla because it sounds cool.
He's also a, well, probably a white supremacist.
That also sounds correct.
It does sound way cooler than heaven.
Yeah.
Oh, heaven.
Valhalla.
I mean, come on.
Well, it's all, I mean, this is a heavy metal influenced religion, which is, I could almost get into it.
It was kind of interesting because this time around, and, you know, of course, the very famous guitar guy and all of that.
Everybody loves guitar guy.
I was kind of wondering, I was like, what exactly does George Miller's music and DVD collection look like?
That's got to be a funky ride, man.
It's got to be very varied, right?
A lot of early libiscus gets mostly black metal and underworld.
Yeah, that's true.
He's a huge fan of the Underworld franchise
And then like the Wuzzles
It's like look at his filmography
The techno band Underworld
Oh I thought you meant the movie
I don't know what the fuck are you talking
Underworld what's that?
Never heard of it?
They're a big British techno band
They're like one of the biggest ones ever
That's great good for them
Hey great great Chris
The train spotting song
Dan boy sad boy
Oh okay
Well there you go
Learn something new every day
And we hate movies
Educational programming
for all.
Occasionally.
Like Mr. Rogers
and we're cursing.
Filthy jokes.
Every time Chris comes here,
takes his shoes off,
puts on some tennis sneakers,
puts on a nice coat.
Won't you be my
somebody else but my neighbor?
So this is kind of around
the fucking baller sandstorm sequence.
Yes.
And this is like,
it's the, you know,
majority of this movie is practical effects
and like some, you know,
camera color,
correction and whatnot. This is obviously
fake, which is fine.
It still manages to look totally beautiful
even though it's incredibly dangerous,
but like Charlize is driving
right into this fucking thing. And boy,
do you feel for Mad Max right here, because he is
still strapped to that car. With a fucking
blood coming out of his arm.
And like, this is when Nicholas Holtz, like, I'm going to go in.
He sprays the shit in his mouth.
Yeah. Which gets you high, I guess.
But also like, yeah. And you
want to die shiny in chrome, which is
cool. It was confirmed. I don't know if
George Miller said it, but it was like a reference to, like, the popularity of huffing.
Yes.
Like, as one of the slang words that they refer to it in the movie is an Australian slang term for.
I mean, it makes perfect sense.
You're not, again, you're not, you're not growing weed.
So how are you getting, how are you going to get there?
Dude, spray paint.
Sick.
Totally.
Although that's something in Morton should have thought about, man, the top of that little, you know, Citadel farm.
I've got a pretty cool grow house going.
Check out my op at the top floor.
No, this is a meth culture.
Oh, yeah.
Look at this.
Look at the people here.
This is meth.
He's got a blue dream factory going up up there.
Nobody's wearing a shirt at all.
Shirts have been outlawed, dude.
The outlawed.
That's why everyone's after Mad Max.
You won't take that fucking thermal off.
How is he wearing that thing?
You will get addicted to shirts.
The absence of shirts will kill you.
Only rags.
that one fucking truck blows up in the sandstorm that's an amazing visual yeah and also just adding to the tally of incredible deaths in this movie you got people like flying in that in that tornado yeah explosions going all around them because i mean i guess like the whole world is so fucked like sandstorms are not just like sandstorms that are like insane sandstorms oh no uh oh you misread it oh that this is uh cigarette city that's a smoke
All the smoke.
They're inside the big one when they go and crash.
Welcome to Cigarette City.
Yeah, it's a little windy today.
I'm sorry.
So Max gets extremely lucky here because this Nux is like,
Witness Me, Blood Bag, and he starts filling the carriage full of gas.
Yes.
And then he breaks out a flare.
Yeah.
And Max is able to grab this flare from this dude while outside.
It's awesome.
Crash into Furios is more rig and survive without it exploding, which is quite a feat.
It's all very impressive.
It's almost as if gas fumes don't exist.
This is probably the part of the movie.
It's like, from all the other explosions I've seen so far, you'd think that this much gas and a collision would result in some flames.
Yeah, well, I guess, but I don't care.
Yeah, no, I definitely don't care.
It's very strange in cigarette city.
there are a lot of ambers, hot ambers
going everywhere.
We call them cherries.
Oh, so many cherries.
It's raided cherries.
Oh, you want me to show you to the Cigar District?
Yeah, and this is when
so everybody's kind of crashed here.
Morton Joe does not go in the sandstorms
so there's some distance there.
He frees himself from Nucks here
by like beating the shit out of him.
and then like...
He beats the shit out of him
and gets like the chain part
broken but he still has the mask
like locked on his face.
He's still attached to him for a little bit.
Oh, that's right. He drags him.
Oh, right. Yeah, he drags him and then he
forces the brides of Joe
to use the bolt cutter.
That's right. That's right. This is where
he comes upon them and they've pulled over
and they're like washing the sand off themselves with the hose.
There's great humor all throughout this movie
and none of it is self-aware
and none of it is cutesy.
It's like, a lot of physical comedy.
Like, he's about to blow Nux's head off with a shotgun.
It just, it malfunctions.
And it's like, it's a really quick little joke.
A lot of Nux's jokes are funny.
But it's never like, wow, dude, take that down a notch.
Or like, awkward.
That's also a callback to the second movie.
He does the same.
Oh, really?
With a busted shotgun show.
Yeah.
But my favorite part is him, like, they give him all those reasons.
Like, we're the breeders of Joe.
We've been tortured all.
these years and like I've been under the boot
Furosas like I've been under the boot of this
all these things he's like no no
no we'll take the mask off
yep yep all right let's go
I was realizing too
this is 2015 so already Tom Hardy
knows stranger to wearing masks
he she rushes him
and her fight with him is really
this is a fucking awesome fight
just like toe to toe kicking
some ass right here I think she like almost broke
his nose because she had like she was wearing a
the character, Furious, only has one arm
and one robot arm, which is awesome.
She was wearing a green screen cast
and accidentally punched him in the face with it.
Oh, that was, oh, yeah, she definitely did break his nose right here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is, you know, that works for the character.
And they smartly filmed this movie in sequence,
so it's totally fine that his nose is broken in this movie.
Yeah, so this is where they sort of hash out,
like, he's like, I'm just fucking stealing everything.
Yes.
Leaving you here.
And they have a little negotiation.
And this is, yeah, you want this mask off your fucking head.
And Nux has come back to consciousness at this point.
And there's some great lines here, just more war boy culture.
Yeah.
He says stuff like, like, glory me, blood bag.
He's going to get, once they capture Furiosa here and bring her back to Joe, he's going to shredder.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Which is like, I want to see a shredder.
Yeah.
Oh, there's shreddings.
There's like, you don't have TV.
It's like, when's the next shredding?
I mean, that was the, you know, that was the, you know,
That's why public hangings were so popular.
Totally.
Fuck, we got fucking skull stuck in the teeth again.
Use some of the water, pour it through there.
Maybe we can use again tomorrow.
He, oh, yes.
And he's, like, really excited, like,
that he thinks he's on the same side.
And, like, Max is, like, thinking about it.
He's like, oh, sure.
Get some food out of this whole situation.
Like, survival, you know.
Also, a great line of, like, that's my jacket.
Yes, that's my jacket.
And this is, it's an exact replica of Mel's.
jacket, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, it's very cool. I think is
it, Charlize is saying this. It's an exact
replica of the jacket itself is not
anti-Semitic. The last jacket was.
Yes. Yeah. It's
in the fibers. But
this jacket, all right, we'll remake
the jacket, but don't put the anti-Semitism.
There's a
great line somewhere around here where I think it's
Charlize says,
you don't have to do it just because he
tells you. Is it her that says that?
I think so. I can't. It's just, it
was one of those lines that just wrote down. I should have wrote
down who said it, but like there's so much
fucking great dialogue in this movie to, again,
another reason why it really
you know, ascends to beyond
just like an action movie with cool stunts.
No, totally. And I mean, like, that's the thing is like you see
the, I mean, and you see these women like, one of which
played by Zoe Kravitz, by the way.
Zoe Kravitz is one.
What's her face? Right. Yeah, right. The Keo is another.
Yeah, yeah. And then
one was a Victoria's Secret model. Like, they're all
like, and they're all great. Like, you know what I mean?
But you see, like, kind of the plight of these women
that they do not want to go back.
Like, you know how bad it is. This is around where they take
off their chastity belts, which is like
spiked. Yeah, it's this weird
detada shit. I'm like, whoa.
Yeah. Well, that's, you know.
Yeah, it keeps others out.
I appreciate a challenge.
Oh, God.
That's the thing, too. You know what, Chris, it's a great
point. Like, here I am. It's
date night with Morton Joe. It's like,
are you taking that thing up? Oh, man, I'm losing
it here. I'm losing it.
Who's got the key? I'm losing it.
Somebody get me the hot sauce. This is going to take a while.
I'm an older man now and I'm losing it.
We need to find a balance between the K-Y-Pond and the gold mine
mines. I named you Wictus erectus to help me get erect.
Now put that finger up my ass. Get over here, fluffer.
Yeah.
Morton.
No, we will not.
be going to Condom County.
Condom County
is like one guy that
anybody want them? They're all here.
Hey y'all, we're sitting on a
mountain of condoms here in Condom
County. It's like Harlan County USA. It's been
ripped apart by probably
by the end of the world.
Everybody's dead.
Hey, y'all, all our jobs in the minds
are gone, but we just got lots of condoms
left over here in Condom County.
They don't really expire. It's all
cool, man. This one was in my
wallet for six years it's still good
they're nothing left down there
we got all the condoms
no one's going to be using condoms anymore
what could you repurpose a condom
for in the post-a-balloon animals
yeah hats you can make a hat
out of it fun condom hat
you don't got like medical gloves anymore
oh that's there's that oh yeah like three
shlong oh yeah I've been five slugs
for the the uh fingers
yes that's the thing we don't see with
Angus Somers said I'm like here we
go. There we go. One over the other.
So this is, they
notice that the Gas Town Boys
are coming here. And this is,
go ahead. Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry. No, no.
Oh, no. Max steals the car and tries to drive away, but Furiosa has
Oh, right. There's a little kill switch here.
Only she could drive the car. She knows the, the
code. So she, like, kind of outsmarts him here.
Nobody knows how to start this car from me.
That is exactly what it is.
And let me tell you something. Later on,
in the movie where she tells him like
the you know
in order of the buttons you got to press
and whatnot to turn this car on and he's like
yeah got it I was like I don't have
I was like repeat that
50 fucking times
do you have a notepad in here at all
this dude who's been in like
nine car accidents in this movie
alone yeah immediately
memorized that sequence by the way around
here the blonde wife
called the DAG
says about Max that he's a
crazy smeg who eats slang.
Slanger, which is apparently
Aussie for your cock.
Oh shit, dude. So, yeah, that he eats
dick. Wow. It's pretty
harsh. Is that where Schlong
comes from? Probably. Or I mean,
Schlong probably comes from German, something
or other, I'm going to guess. German,
that was your guess for schl. That's my guess.
I mean, schvance.
Oh, there you go. Yeah, I mean
Schwantz, Schlong, Schlanger.
It's all there.
Dick City somewhere?
I mean, I guess that's everyone.
The Dick District?
Welcome to Dick City.
Just
Population Me.
Just Dick strict. It's cleaner.
Oh, the Dick strict. Yeah, totally.
And it's not
what you think because it's just a fucking
post-apocalyptic county
populated only by Andy Dick.
This is where I would kill myself.
Yeah, exactly.
Hi, neighbor.
We will destroy Dick City
And by that I mean the comedian Andy Dick
Come and get it
You know what?
You know what I would witness that
Hey Morton Joe did you used to be hooked on drugs
Well I can re-hook you Andy Dick
It sucks
Yeah I've brought down all the greatest warlord
Bill Hartman
and Morton Joe
Allegedly
Allegedly
This is a comedy podcast
There's in no way
It's all sad tire
It's all sad satire and it's all
It's not slander
It's a slanger
None of what we says matters
Is what I'm trying to get at
So they do
He gets cut loose of Nucks
And now we have an uneasy
alliance where we're driving
we're all, let's all get the truck.
Nux is left outside.
He gets picked up by his buddies and is still in the pocket of Immorton Joe.
Still in it, yeah.
Or is this where he, no, isn't this where he's on the back of the truck?
No, no, because he tries to kill himself one more.
Because of Morton Joe, yes.
Okay.
What's coming up here is like, Immorten Joe kind of catches up to them and like he's, I think
what's, Nux is like, I can get in there.
I know what the truck looks like, et cetera, et cetera.
He can get the tunnel that the girls are in.
knows how to get into it.
And he gives him a gun, and he's like, go do it.
And I will see, he sprays him.
He's like, I will be with you this day in Valhalla.
I will carry you.
Hey, man, you know what?
I'll carry you to Valhalla.
You could just get on my back, man.
You're doing, go.
Oh, man, this guy's great, dude.
Give this guy.
You know what?
Give him a double sweet in Valhalla.
No, I never give those out, by the way.
The special clouds.
Put him on one of the specials.
One of the ones that has a yard.
All because he was a war boy that got on the rig and had the strand of clothing.
from one of the wives.
And what I love about this sequence is there's some guy in the back
that's like, I got the blood bag's boot!
That dude is awesome and fucking Joe is just like,
and turns around and he's driving.
I mean, good luck getting into Valhalla with a boot, mister.
A boot from one of your coworkers.
Okay.
Do we mention the bullet farmer and the people eater of the gas town?
They're all in pursuit.
They're all, yeah.
We got to talk about these guys.
A bullet farmer guy is amazing.
I love his helmet.
It's a great look.
It's like a bullet wig, which is kind of great.
And he kind of reminds.
It's almost like a samurai helmet almost.
Yes, it sort of looks like a samurai's.
It's a cross between a samurai helmet and what Dave Chappelle wore in the Rick James sketch.
Yeah, a little bit of both.
I thought of a British Parliament wigs.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And this dude looks like Harry Dean Stanton, which points.
Yes.
Very true.
Speaking of a cigarette city.
Oh, dude.
That guy was the fucking king for life.
the cigarette city
he
and the the gasoline
guy
he's got no no
people eater
which is like
I wonder how he got that
yeah he's eating people
look at him
he's a big old fat guy
in like a wall street
kind of suit
but with the fucking
nipple necklaces
like his nipples are pierced
with a necklace in between
the necklace
oh what if anything happens
you know what I mean
you're in a mad mac scenario
it could get caught on
anything
tugging it? Like you fucking piss off
one of these war boys, they're tugging it. I mean, that's
what you're paying for that. You know,
that's the whole point of the necklace. No, but
I'm talking about like, you know,
sticking in a car door kind of a
tongue. A non-professional. Just rip it
these fucking tits right off this guy is what I'm saying. I can't.
But it's a hot out, so he's got a shirt that exposes
his nipples and nothing else.
His nose, by the way. He's got a
tea steeper on it or something. He looks like
fucking Vincent Donofrio in the Salton
Sea. Anybody remember
that movie? Except for he's not making hog
noises the whole time like he is.
He's kind of like a half pig man in that movie. It's weird.
I mean, I feel like our friend People Leader
here has got, I mean, like, he's
not going to Valhalla. He's going to
with the Centa Bites. He's got a separate
deal. Oh, sure.
You know, they're like, you may,
we'll let you go this time.
Do you think of like, we're
on probation from the Cenobites?
Look, we already have a
butterball. I am sorry.
You'll back up butterball.
Like, okay, in the post-apocalypse, let's say you summon up the Hellraiser demons.
Do you think they'd be surprised?
Like, Jesus, fuck, what the fuck happened?
I think it, like, like, Pinhead would sort of look around and be like, well, our work's been done for us.
Good day.
Is that why hell was so crowded yesterday?
I thought it was just the holidays.
What a busy ingest day for hell.
Oh, my favorite deli was right here.
What happened?
Leave for a couple of centuries.
There's almost no one left to live deliciously.
This is just wonderful.
There's no CDs?
How am I going to kill anybody?
I'm all out of CDs.
Dude, that should be like the third fucking gang are the centibites.
Yes.
Because they got, Charlize has a truck full of pretty ladies
and they're the only people on the planet that can live deliciously.
That's true.
I guess I must get the five brides of Joe so someone can live deliciously.
Something delicious must happen.
Look at this.
fat man with no nose. He's certainly
not living deliciously.
He's a bit of a poser too.
Yeah, thanks fan club.
Barely worth turning myself into a statue
over, honestly.
So what happens
now? Nucks, like, is
back on the war rig. He fails again.
It's kind of great. It's another
great moment of like physical comedy because it's like
he sprays me like, you shall be with me
in Valhalla and he like really talks him up
and he jumps and he just misses the jump.
He fucks it up immediately.
just see Joe being like,
like a chain is attached to him
and he falls and then that gun
that Joe just gave him, like this prized
beautiful guns falls away.
My favorite line is after
that, it's not, Emerald Joe doesn't just
look at, he says,
uh, mediocre.
Oh, right.
Oh, right.
Like, not like, oh, what a piece of shit.
Like, eh, okay.
A man. A 5.5.
Is it the,
is it the people leader who has,
the line, like when they
explain to them like what's
going on and what Joe is
doing, he's like, all
this for a family squabble.
Yes, pretty great lines. Kind of
great. But I mean, it's also like,
it's like, yeah, it's true dude. Like, I don't
know, man, let that go. You got
hos this time.
You don't want to. And also, you've also done the thing
where you left your entire fortress
totally open. Massive
cock up, if you ask me.
You shouldn't have taken that big motherfucker. You
left the little guy in the bassinet. He can't do
anything. I think the dirt bike
guys are pretty cool. Oh, these dudes
that control the passageway here. That's kind of
the next movement. I do. I really
enjoy their look with all just like
it's like fringe everything, like a fringe
jacket, fringe face. Just all this
material. These dudes are awesome. They
fucking loved the 1970s.
That's what they're
mimicking here. And they're doing all these fucking
bike flips and stuff. So Furiosa like
had to deal with them to give them 3,000
gallons of guzzaline and
She's going to leave the pod there, but, like, she had told them, like, maybe a few vehicles in pursuit, but now there's three whole war parties.
Yeah, the guy is like, uh, excuse me, you told me at worst, a few motorcycles would be after you.
But I count no less than three entire campaigns coming in terms.
And then she says, I've changed our deal.
Pray I don't change it any further.
No, fuck.
No, she doesn't.
But these guys turn on her.
and now we get all these bikes like
jumping up and over the war rig
shooting down upon it, which is cool.
This was, this was, if anybody
remembers the tweet I had
a couple weeks ago when I was watching it for this episode,
I'm speaking to the audience,
airing now on New Year's Eve.
This is where I was like,
it's impossible to watch this movie
without your fucking jaw on the floor
the whole time.
This sequence specifically where I was just like,
I mean, the fucking work here, man.
And it's done work.
Again, you're like, how did they do
that. Yeah. Just like I love just
the shooting of these dudes in the air
and then like ducking as the motorcycle hits
the fucking roof. Yeah, so many
times the motorcycles are just dropping right
on the war rig and Charlize is like
oh fuck here's another motorcycle. And they blow
the passageway anyway which is cool. Yes and they kind of get away
Riley Keo finds Nucks
here. He's just kind of hanging
out in the back of the truck like I fucked
up. I'm a loser. He's like
he saw me fail kind of a thing.
Oh right, right, right, right.
and he's like laying some game here a little bit of game yeah i guess well it's like in the post
apocalypse this is like the best you can do to start like planting the seed yeah the best things you can
do is like you even disappointed your mates larry and berry oh yes oh these are my deformities
my tumors right here i drew little smiley faces on them and she's charmed she is charmed
uh somewhere around here there's a great thing where the rig catches on fire oh yeah
And she has, it's the fucking greatest problem-solving move of all time.
She drops the like railroad cowcatcher that the rig has on it.
And it starts kicking up all the sand and the sand puts out the fire.
I was like, that's genius.
Really fucking cool.
And, oh, no, but she's such a cool character.
Like, she's, I mean, like, she's shown to be, like, very tough, but really, really smart.
Like, obviously, she's laid this plan out.
She's, you know, she's making the deal with the guy with the motorcycle dudes.
Right.
Which, that's a prequel.
Steve, we didn't see her make the deal.
How do we know that she's a good deal maker?
Well, because she's got this title, right?
It's Imperator, you know what I mean?
Like, you know that she's, and she's given the truck.
Imperator and Mary Sue.
Yes.
Report for duty.
We should say, because Steve mentioned this is where all those guys live in Garbageville.
That's a little further down from Cigarette City.
It's just a lot of people being upset.
Like, well, okay.
Ferriosa, you must go down.
a Garbageville and pick up the fresh
takes, I need them.
It's just a bunch of dudes
at burned out broken computers
thinking they're typing on message boards.
Go to the Last Jedi
District of Garbageville and
find the takes.
It is very weird that even though
religion has left
us, we still remember Last Jedi
and are still pretty upset about it.
We fight over three things.
Water, gasoline.
and the Last Jedi.
You might run into some trouble when you deal with the Snyder Cut Boys.
Oh, dude.
The Snyder Cut boys.
They're all just wearing really bad Batman costumes.
They all have BVS merchandise.
We should say, because Steve, you are already mentioning where Holt is found in the back of the car by Riley Keogh.
Right before this, we lose one of the brides here.
This woman, who's the most visibly pregnant, by the way, which makes it way worse.
she went under the wheels
yeah it's this woman gets fucking killed
there's a false moment of hope here
because she almost falls and she doesn't
and then you get that great and it's been gift to hell
rightfully so because I love it so much
Max looking back seeing that she's okay
and giving the little thumbs up
oh yeah oh right right right right and then she
immediately dies right afterwards
yeah and this whole fucking truck
and I believe is it not
it's Joe's truck
yes he accidentally runs over
Then he, like, turns the wheel and, like, crashes his own rig.
Right, right, right, right.
And this is, they, they really start freaking out.
But the drama of, she went under the wheels is, like, such a great, like, Charlie's is selling it.
Because, like, and everyone doesn't know what they want to do because, like, the whole thing is to get these women out.
And, like, yeah, they want to go back for her.
And he's just like, she went under the wheels.
Yeah, that's why it's because Charlize is like, did you see?
And he's like, listen, she went under the wheels.
what they all have really weird names like the dag is one one of them's named capable yes
chito cheetah and then uh this one's got like a name like expensive whiskey like
acintosh in or something like that joey cravitz's um toast the knowing or so toast yes
chito is actually she came from garbageville right she was the daughter
a guy that wrote a lot about the snider oh the woman who gets uh
under the wheels here is the splendid Angharad.
Yeah, sure.
And, like, yeah, and there's, like, this really horrific.
And it's, like, as black as comedy could possibly get.
Uh-huh.
The, when the doctor guy is going to see if the kid made it.
Oh, right.
And, like, he's just pl-and there's, like, some prop comedy going on.
Yeah, like, this guy's wagging around the fucking umbilical cord, like,
he's fucking carrot top man
just like
it's it is funny
like really darkly funny
it would have been a great one
and he says like
you would have had a perfectly
another month
you would have perfectly healthy son
and then like
rictus erectus is like
I had a baby brother
he was perfect
yeah it's rough
also one great moment of this whole
like the trauma
that poor Joe is going through
that's who I'm identifying
with watching this
he's like his
his breathing apparatus
the mouth is kind of open
with these big horse teeth
and he's just shooting into the sky
it's pretty great
he looks like Bugs Bunny a little bit
sure
also one of history's
greatest monsters
Bugs Bunny
the great chungas
the
actually there is a great line
that Joe has
like earlier on in the movie
when they're driving
he says very specifically
they have my children
that's my property
and like it's a really like
I mean that is the movie
in a nutshell
and like it's a really
important kind of signifier about, you know, and it's about, you know, reproductive rights.
You know what I mean?
Like these women have none that you're a breeding farm, et cetera, et cetera.
Right, right.
No, totally.
That's, again, it's a fucking great movie, great action movie that's also fucking saying a ton of
shit.
It's all these things coming together.
Why it's so great.
Seems to be a whole other village in Garbageville coming up.
Because he said women's rights.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, no, it's the Fury Road, boys.
So one of the engines has broken down on the rig
And this is where it's revealed
That Holt is a rev head they call him
Which I guess is just mechanic
Also a black thumb
Which I like I like that term for some reason
It's like a green thumb
But black thumb is like blacksmith
Oh this is kind of like nighttime
They're on those like weird gross mud flats
Or whatever
They hit the moisture they're
Oh they're running over fucking Uncle Owen's moisture farm
Not my crops no
Oh, my crops.
He ruined my...
He ran over my crops.
You space bastard!
You killed my pine!
And the bullet farmer's in pursuit
because he has tank bottom wheels
that he can get through it better than
anyone else.
Tank bottom wheels that make the rocking world go round.
And it's night now.
So you get like the distant shots
of like his tank with the light
going around. Pretty cool.
And also like the light I was reading about this
was shot in the day and they just
digitally fucked with the lighting, which is really cool.
And it's very unreal.
It's just blue, like, azure blue craziness.
Yeah, but it's awesome because it doesn't just look like
you're traditionally shitty day for night.
That's just been consistent throughout filmmaking forever.
Yes.
Like, it's like they realize like, okay, we have to do day for night.
But let's also manipulate it even further.
So it's like, you know, science fictiony day for night.
And it looks fucking awesome.
It's just so nice to just.
just stare at this blue red. And Nux is kind of becoming
part of the team here. And he's like, we can
pull out of this mud if you just
tie it to that thing over there. And then
someone's like, you mean that tree?
And he's like, yeah, yeah. That's a tree
thing. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Again,
that's a nice touch. It's a really
specific joke. It's just
like a lot of the self-aware humor just
in these action movies just drive me kind of nuts.
Like your eyes glaze over. Like
take that down a notch. Like,
okay, Mr. Loud. Or whatever
the fuck happens in all these movies.
He's like, it's actually like an observed thing that makes sense in the world that it's funny.
You don't like the Joss Whedon handbook?
Yes, exactly.
Also, one good detail.
They've done like a bullet inventory.
Oh, right.
They only know they've got like three shots left with the rifle.
Yeah.
And Max is trying to shoot at the bullet farmer's light.
And he realizes the last bullet left.
Like, I'm not, I'm not going to get this.
So he hands it to Furiosa, who then does.
Yes.
And the bullet farmer loses his sight.
Oh, that.
This is awesome because she shoots the spotlight
and all the shit goes right to his eyeballs.
Steve?
Yeah.
Ask me what happens to Bullet Farmer
when Furios shoots the light.
Chris, what happens to the bullet farmer
when Furios shoots the light?
He's blinded by the light.
Oh, fuck, dude.
Shrapnel in his eyes.
He's bleeding everywhere.
It's so great because then he's got the guy
like holding like his hand in front of his face or he's like,
no, close I can't see.
The guy's like, I'm fucking right off.
you're blind as it gets
and he blindfolds himself
I'm justice now
he's got these two machine guns
looks insane
awesome one of his lines is I am
the conductor of the choir of death
which is pretty good
I don't think I would come up
with that in a moment of pure anger
no no I'm never
then articulate when I'm angry
once your boss is blind
and it's like strap me to the front
let's do this and I'm like
you want to go
we can just go and say
He died.
We could like, you want to just push him off this thing?
Oops, we hit a bump and he fell.
They stop and they start getting off.
He's like, no, we're going so fast that you can't even feel that we're moving.
You can't even feel it.
Are you just making mouth noises?
No, I'm not.
Shake it back and forth a little bit.
Maybe that'll do it.
Around here is what I was talking about when Max is like, well, you keep moving.
And he goes and gets all the fucking.
ammo and whatnot. It's a great scene. He comes up like 20 guns and all this stuff.
It's so fucking funny. I mean, he comes back with like an arsenal
strapped to him. It's pretty great. And it's like it's a really cool
like it's a really good. You've had so much action in this movie anyway. You
don't need that scene. No. But it's a cool punchline and also like just
a nice mystique behind the max thing. Yeah. That's what's cool about it. It has
several functions but I just love the idea of like oh here we go again. It's another
action scene. Yeah. You just don't get to see it. Yes. Yeah. It's
also like it's from her perspective
too so it makes sense to not
see what Max does on his own.
And also it's kind of interesting there's like
there's some sexual chemistry
but it's never really specific
between Furosa and Max
but it's never really specific and it's never really sexual
I mean like sometimes it's almost flirty
but it never goes anywhere
near there. It's literally sex
in this economy?
Yes exactly.
Yeah there's just literally no time for it.
Why? Why?
Exactly which actually makes a lot of sense
and these if you're if you're
fucking running for your life and I like you want to
fuck real quick like no I do not oh
also I can't get it up with that much
fucking sand up my ass that's true
I mean come on I've already talked about how
fucking on the beach is one of the most appalling things
like you're like Anakin Skywalker over here
I hate sands
that's me losing liquid lady
all right let's let's go
let's go through condom city
we'll go finally
a customer hey man
wrap it up
cars are driving by
remember to wrap it up
do you know that's what it is when the dude
in Condom County makes the
fucking sale
he goes would you like me to
wrap it up for you?
Oh nice
or you're going to wear it out of the store
order up
got to get an erection
if you're going to leave here
order up
well it's 100 condoms
for one glass of water
yes that's
we are priced to move
I'm reminded of
the great fucking Mr.
show gag.
Cock rings.
Come to the cock ring warehouse.
We are overstocked
with cock rings.
Cock rings. Cockrings.
He passed, they get away.
Max falls asleep.
And like, if you're just kind of letting him sleep,
she's driving, you know what I mean?
Like, he had a good night of killing.
When he wakes up, when he wakes up is when
you get the shot of the toe cutter's eyes bulging it.
Right, yeah.
It's a scary memory.
And what's awesome too
is like she does she just looks over like
Hey how's it going yeah like she's like what the
fuck like because he wakes up
Oh he's screaming and yeah
looking to punch somebody and everything
And she just turns over like
Will you fucking chill out
But around here we're talking about like
They're going to the green place the green place
The green place the green ways you know
So he's finally like
How do you even know that this exists
And we get a little Furiosa backstory here
She's like well I was born there
I was born in the green place
They do drive through this swamp area
Yeah
is then later revealed to what
became of the Green Place. Right. And I
kind of want more about these weird
people walking on stilts. The crow people.
I love them. I'm kind of
I'm into the crow people. Yeah, you'd be
living in the crow life. Oh, for sure.
It's just because it's
kind of close to the title of that Incubis album. That's the only reason why is it.
A Crow Left of the Murder Man. That's right.
Jesus Christ.
It was never an Inchibus
boy. That's when, that was the last
one I listened to, but I was very into
incubus. And man, is there a
gaving critique
of George W. Bush on that
album. Look out, Mr. President.
Got him. Got him.
Yeah, dude. And it ended the Iraq war
with the song Megalomaniac.
No, it didn't.
Man, the fucking world sucks.
No, it's still going on.
Incubis didn't do it. No.
Unfortunately. They wrote another record. Still didn't happen.
Neither did rage against the machine.
Sadly. George Bush defeated them, too.
I win it's mission accomplished Chris
I win
yeah so she says like you know she was like
kidnapped as a child
blah blah sold to Immorten Joe or whatever
all that stuff
so yeah and as they're driving
they find this woman naked in a cage
she's screaming and this is another
fucking great gift right here
is I'm already being like that's bait
pointing up and looking at it
so she gets out of
She's like, you know, hey, it's me, Furiosa.
I'm the daughter of Woboda Blah B'Blob.
But Max is right.
It is an ambush.
It's the security initiative.
Yeah, sure.
You know, but that's, yeah, so she gets out of the car and it's just like, hey, please don't kill us.
I'm, you know, I'm local legend coming back.
Class of 92 here.
Yes, yes.
Before I transferred to Condom County and Prep.
Yes, yes, yes.
Naked horror and terror.
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm part of the guild.
Secret handshake.
Who?
so they all come out and they're like oh my god it's furiosa she gets a little warm reception here
but then Furiosa the happy times are not meant to last because they're like well if you came
from that direction man you passed through the green place
well no you said I couldn't miss it well no did you go let did you take a left at the gas station
or no which guests oh my god here we wait a second where'd you after the old barn
Did you keep going?
Did you take a right at the fat guy
With the fake nose?
Did you keep going straight?
That's why you can't miss it sucks
Because you can't miss it
So yeah
They tell her like hey
Bad news
That fucking horrid swamp you drove through
That's what the green place has turned into
It's now Sledge Isle
Yeah totally
I would be like
So what's the deal with the crow people?
Do you talk to them ever?
I mean what is they
Dear deal.
Hold on.
Let me just go scream
with the sky.
And then I'm going to,
I want to know about these crowbule,
but I am going to scream
with the sky right now.
It is a great scream at the sky.
It looks awesome.
It's not like,
I mean, man,
it's crazy that George Miller
has been able to direct more movies
because fuck, dude,
it's a scream at the sky
that isn't cheesy.
Yes, no.
You're not rolling your eyes.
Like, it fucking works.
And if it's not working for you,
the fucking the wind on the sand and shit,
it's beautiful.
It's incredible.
It does work.
for me for the racco. Yes. Sure. Well, I mean, she's, she's expressing what I'm feeling. I want to see
the green place and now I'm screaming. Also, the fucking bad news is that she's like, well,
where's everybody else? And they're like, hey, we're the fucking mothers that are left, man. This is
it. Yeah. It's all you got. It's like, it's this one lady that was in a, in a cage who I believe
was supposed to be Wonder Woman in that canceled George Miller movie. Right. The Justice League
that he was going to direct at one point.
Which got really close.
Oh, wow.
This was a long time ago.
It was like, it was the writer's strike.
It was like almost going to have,
but Army Hammer was going to be Batman.
Oh, that was that movie.
Okay.
Okay.
I do remember the Army Hammer news.
The dude from the OC would have had a career
because he would have been the Flash.
Which guy?
Adam, what's his face?
Yeah, Adam Brody?
Yeah, Adam Brody.
He was going to be the Flash?
He was going to be the Flash, yeah.
California.
Yeah, he was like he would have had a career.
He may have had a career.
And actually that's like one of my top five
Like that's a movie OCs
Yeah
One of the top OCs?
No, the Justice League movie
I would like to know what that movie was
Like it's...
That and as Superman lives
Yes, I would love those movies to just exist
Whether the good or bad or otherwise
Where's that fucking documentary?
That's a good call.
There must, I mean there's a bunch of shit
I think they had costumes, the whole thing
I just didn't know that George Miller was going to direct that
He was going to be the guy
Did he write the script too?
I don't remember he probably had something to do with it
I mean
Wow, that's crazy.
I do not work.
call. Instead, we got Holly Hunter, by the way.
All those years later. Exactly.
Senator. Superman.
Superman, take off that cape and respect his court.
Oh, yeah. Now you drove your little war rigging to Hunterville.
We all talk like Holly Hunter. Get in here.
So we've gone away from the idea that every place has a commodity.
Well, I guess talking like Holly Hunter is a commodity.
We make money on it.
somehow
so yeah
so it's basically
yeah we're gonna hang
camp for a little bit
this is where the movie
nicely settles down
and so good things
going on here
like the old woman
explains to the younger girl
like this is my like bag of seeds
you know I try to plan stuff
it doesn't really work
but she's like kind of hopeful
there's the fucking great thing
where they see the satellite
and she's oh it's
it's an awesome series of lines
because she's like
that's called the satellite
it used to broadcast things all over to screens
back before the bad times
everybody had a show
and it's just like talking about fucking YouTube
and what it's just
Yeah, yes exactly
Did you see how I was trying to navigate around that
You just fucking drove right into podcasts
That was a young man named Ben Shapiro
And we did not like him here at the many mothers
Yeah
She says things like back then
Everybody had their fill
Yeah, it's just kind of a nice talking, talking about the past from characters who aren't fucking Mad Max, which is nice.
And basically their ideas, they have all these motorcycles, like, hey, let's just take these motorcycles and much gas we can.
Hall-ass to Lollapalooza.
Yeah, we'll drive across the Salt Flats.
We're sure to find something.
And Max is like, yeah, no, I'm not going to go with you guys.
Yeah.
And it's like, okay, thanks anyway, Max.
And then he kind of, he has some more flashbacks and he just kind of realizes he's got to do something.
He's also been making this hero moment.
This badass, like.
inking of this map which she's just
kind of doodling which is pretty cool. It is cool
also the whole like
line of hope being a mistake is just
so good. Hope is a mistake.
Yeah it's
and oddly prescient.
It is kind of weird that Charlize
is not doing an Australian accent in this movie
I guess well I think
it would have been cool if they just let her
use her South African accent. She never
lets out like that's like her dark
secret for service like we know you're South
African. Yeah totally like just let
out of the bag. You're like buds with Dave Matthews.
Well, not really, but...
Are he?
Is he South African?
I believe so. Yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ.
I thought that guy was pure Americana.
No, no. Just because every American kid
owned every album of his.
He eventually, I don't know when it was, but he lived in like
Virginian. Yeah, that's where the band formed.
What's he think about apartheid?
I think he's, I would hope so, anti.
I have no idea, man. He was in Chuck and Larry.
What I don't know?
You know what?
Fair volley, I guess.
I feel like even Adam Sandler was anti-apartheid.
Does Adam Sandler know what apartheid is?
That's a good question.
A part-to-woo.
Do-do-do-poffine.
They let some people live, who do-do-who.
And some people they don't have to.
Nelson man do not who-do-part.
I think opera man knew about apartheid.
Opera man did, but I think, you know, when you're reading cue cards, man, I don't know.
Yeah, he's like, apartheid, oh, bye, bye.
And then he was like, hey, Lauren, what's apartheid?
Oh, don't worry about it.
Little boy, get back in the van for the night.
We're going back home.
Goodbye.
Because I imagine, I imagine if it's Saturday Night Live, it's like working at a little circus.
Yes, yeah, put in a little van at the end of the night.
Uh, yeah. So they, they kind of have this thing here where they're like, Hey, Furiosa, you know, Max is kind of right, you know.
Because he drives out to them and cuts them off. Yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah. It was a really cool badass moment.
Great cutoff move here. And he's like, we got to go back to the Citadel. We know it's fucking there. Yeah. And we know that we can basically like circumvent Joe's path to us. Yes. Get around him. Blow the fucking pass again.
And then, you know, get back to the Citadel and take it because it's undefended.
It's such a ballsy move to be like, we're just going to go back to where we came.
I don't mean from a storytelling standpoint.
Like, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
The movie is going backwards now.
Right.
Yeah.
And it's still exciting and excellent.
Don't you mean they're putting it in reverse?
They kind of like car jokes.
Well, I mean, this time will be a little easier with the many mothers of the dead meat tribe.
Yeah, a lot of these ladies get picked up pretty quickly.
They do not make it.
There's like, there's, what's interesting.
interesting though is there's like two i think that make it when all is said and done and it's
not like the people they set up to be the leaders no totally mothers it's like the fucking
b squad the ones who don't have any lines really like seed lady yeah gets it a seed lady gets
a pretty bad lady who's gonna be one room and also gets it pretty bad too oh fucking
horribly she gets run over by the people leader yes she does which yeah they're driving back
and by the way because it's brilliant too because it's like oh in the city
tells just the war pops, the kids that he's raised to be the next war boys, and war dogs too
sick to fight. I mean, it's, it's just, it's a brilliant plan because they got green,
they got a fucking, the water, yeah, that fucking, that, what do they call that, it's Chris Cabin,
a well? A well, yes. Well, it's actually, I want to see the fucking science specs on this thing,
because they say that he gets the water from a huge drill into the earth. Yeah. So like he's
Clearly hit some, like, water table or something like that.
But I'd like to see the inner workings of that.
There's a whole ocean of water.
Only I can get at it.
And much like most long trips you've been on.
It's always a little quicker when you go back.
You know what I mean?
The ride home is always just a little bit quicker.
You're recognizing all the same rest stops.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
The tree.
Furious is like, oh, we're actually, we've got good air traffic here.
We're going to make up some time.
How the fuck did you do that?
Or it's tailwind, Steve.
It's science.
Well, it doesn't, a fucking...
Emoreton Joe has set up, like, a fruit stand
on the side of the fucking highway.
Oh, there's sell lemonade until we get back on our feet.
Yeah, I don't know what his exact plan is here.
You know what, though, but it's Problem Child 2 lemonade
and that's just a pitcher of piss.
Apple and Firewood for sale.
It seems like they're just taking a breather.
They've been hit pretty hard during this conflict.
They do have someone out, like, on...
watch to see what's going on
they see the war rig coming back
this is where Joe immediately is like
they're going back to the citadel
yeah he knows right away how fucked he is
also though if he's that quick
to figure out the plan how are you that
fucking stupid that you took all the people
that could defend the citadel with you
you need to leave Rickus erectus
hubris I mean yes you got to leave
Rickus erectus dude but he wants to come
along it's like he's a kid dad's going
out for the day can I come can I come what's a little
guy's name Dave Corpus Corpus
I think he's like, all right, Corpus, here's your big chance now.
I'm taking your fucking erectus, brother, and we're going to go out.
It's all you, Corpus.
I mean, that's cool, but can you leave me, like, a bodyguard?
Nope, Corpus, you have the bridge.
Yeah, cool.
Morton Joe leaves.
Meh!
Oh, dude, that's what Corpus needs to do.
He needs to fucking set up some micro-machines on the floor.
Because of the Furiosa shows up.
She stops, you know, like.
That's it.
I made my warpups disappear.
Get some stifers going.
Exactly.
When I grow up, I'm living alone.
A whole breast milk cheese pizza just for me.
There are 16 people in this sex prison and you're only one that has to make trouble.
Look what you did, you a morton jerk.
I don't want to sleep with Rick, does he pease the bed?
All right. Dad, is it okay
if I make a bunch of these shadow puppets so people
think somebody came to my birthday
party? No, no. He does
that to be like, no, look, there are tons of
war boys here. Look, I'm doing all
the silhouettes.
Yeah, that's my uncle.
Morton Jeff. That's, oh, that's right.
And then a neighbor with a big shovel
helps him.
And then in Morton Joe is like,
oh, no, how are we going to get back?
Oh, look, it's John Candy in a van
with some polka bunny.
Yeah, I left my son home once.
Yeah, he was in a funeral home.
He didn't talk for three weeks.
That is the funniest fucking thing in the world.
I really want to know how much that scene is improvised
between the two of them.
It's fucking genius.
The third floor, it smells like gasoline up there.
Yes, where we meet Lord Candy.
Rick is your girlfriend, woof.
Dude, Rick, this is the buzz of this world.
Yeah, he would definitely be the fun.
So, yeah, the war parties are descending back on the rig.
There's a great thing here where it's like,
we're going to fucking cut them off and make them stop.
And this is where we're having the fucking gas spitting contest
between these two guys.
It's so cool.
It's Max.
Well, first it's Nicholas Hull,
and they're like siphoning gas and then, like, dumping it.
I don't know how cars work, back into the engine.
And it's making it like bursts of,
Speed is happening.
Almost like nitrous kind of, almost.
Yeah, the people there, the bad guys in this scenario,
they're driving Max's old car.
Oh, right, great, that's my car line.
It is also, and which does get destroyed
and all the other movies revolve around him
trying to keep this car and all this stuff.
It's a real, like, it's a whole new fucking franchise.
Hey, Max, they're fucking with your car, dude.
Doesn't one of the other ones,
the car gets destroyed instantly?
Is that maybe three, is it three or two?
Three sounds like that.
the one you're thinking.
Yeah, well, I got, I wanted to watch them all for this and I didn't get to.
I, I rewatch them all and, yeah, I, I want to, like, it does.
It gets wrecked all the fucking time.
Yeah, but I mean, this time, it's like, it's done for, this is, this is done so
because the dude is, like, riding in between the war rig and I forget which other car.
Oh, well, it's obviously the people years, yeah, because the other dude's dead.
Yeah, his, his war rig.
Yeah.
It's like, go between them.
you crazy
I do
we're not talking
we're not talking enough
about the band car
which is the coolest thing
in the world
and the guitar drums
and I mean like
the drums are really
all the amps and stuff
I want to be part of
that that's my team
like all right
you know what dude
I'm not a war boy
can I just be in the
in the band
but you're like playing nonstop
yeah all right
they're going like
24 hours a day
practically with this
it's kind of tough
yeah
how many times does the war party
have to go out
like that. I don't think they're good. It's like
it's the one gig a year type of thing.
It's like our big fucking gig, guys.
Well, here's the thing. Like, you got all these like speed metal dudes and
whatnot. Yeah. You know, and those
songs aren't long. Yeah. You need like jam band people
to get up there. Someone who can play like a good
three-hour set. Fish.
Totally, dude.
Just with a bunch of flames coming out.
Morton Joe does kind of look like Jerry Garcia.
Yeah, he kind of does, dude. Yeah, you got
Bob, we're on the back of a guitar, fucking fire shootout.
I do feel like if you're one of Immorten Joe's subject
and you're like, oh, yes, he knows what's right.
Yes, too much water would be bad for us.
Wait, he's building a car that has a huge guitar guy.
Really?
Hey, you know, don't say this directly to him,
but I think Joe's priorities here
and the gas and water wars are a little fucked up.
You know, he's like drawing.
It'd be really cool.
So, no, listen to me.
Listen, it's going to be awesome.
you're going to be suspended
there's big flames it's going to rule
dude it's going to rule
all right but so how many speakers
do you want on the front of this fucking thing
100 okay so we need to find
100 speakers in the post
apocalypse and bungee cords too
because he's going to be bouncing around
it's going to be metal as fuck
how many drummers
a hundred
we don't have the fucking protein
to feed those men
all right but so wait a second
so why is fire shooting out of
the guitar? Because it's metal as
fuck. I see, okay. And how long
do you want them to be playing? All the time.
Okay. I'm the
you want to be in Valhalla, you better get me what
I want. Dude, this is like the Immorten Joe
reality show where he's trying to do, he's working
with all these consultants and they're like off on the
camera like, yeah, I can't work with this fucking ass
I don't know. I'm an artist here.
I build rigs for musicians.
This is bullshit. This is crazy.
Undercover Immortan.
How do I?
Put the wheel on this, what is it, a war party?
Or it's pimp my ride, and he just told Exhibit that he kind of likes metal music.
Oh, you like metal music?
Okay, I know exactly what to do for you, man.
So do you like your flames blue or orange?
It should have been blue.
That would have been rad as fuck, dude.
Exhibit makes sense.
He would survive the apocalypse.
He would definitely.
What I do love on this trip back now, the fight, you know, they give change.
and the fight happens again.
This is where we get the pole cats.
Yes, those guys are awesome.
And again, you're watching this stuff
and you're like, how the fuck did they do any of this?
Right, yeah.
Because it's all practical.
Like, none of it's, you know, it's like a very little CG.
I put on like a, for like 10 seconds in the back.
Not more than 10 seconds.
You know, it might have been like 90.
No, no, it's actually a little more than that.
I watched a little bit of a special feature about the making of it.
And they were like, we were going to try to like composite shots for that.
Yeah.
And George Miller was like, it looks to look like,
puppets.
It didn't work.
So he's like, we're just going to do this.
Yeah, it's amazing. And also in that
featurette thing, they had like
the entire, they had an entire
room with like
30,000 like fucking
index cards with storyboards
to show like the entire script
all done out. And he, well, he also
storyboarded the film before he wrote the script.
Which makes sense because it's like
it's such a visual movie. I know.
And it just, it goes to show you why
like you can tell when film
productions cut corners with shit like that yeah we need to fucking storyboard it let's just start
shooting like exactly no man there's a fucking purpose for that stuff and this movie's proof in the
pudding and like apparently it was a really difficult shoot on the actors like Tom Hardy was like super
he had a huge falling out in Miller like a hundred times because you just couldn't see it because
I mean you imagine you're out there for eight months and it's like no no we're he's like
don't worry it's gonna make sense later right and you're not talking it it's like so it's
another scene of me looking worried got it yeah and like I mean it is
totally understandable though because you don't all right so you're shooting me why am i hanging off this
thing yes exactly okay doesn't help when george miller keeps on screaming that he's going to bring his stunt
stunt boys to valhalla yeah that's a big problem i do want those sequels to happen apparently
tom hardy signed on for three yes but there's been rights issues the wasteland just recently i think
got okay i noticed that it was listed on i mdb at least and i hadn't seen it uh i hadn't seen
that listing featuring a title
it would be cool if Warner Brothers got
bought by Disney and then Mad Max
could just hang out with Wolverine
you guys that's all I'm waiting for dude
because then I'll kill
myself
so we do have
in the poll people here are awesome but we do have
some other notable contenders
in this battle my personal
favorite chainsaw guy
chainsaw guy oh man fuck dude
this guy is great he gets chainsawed by his
chainsaw, which is the problem of being chainsaw guy.
He kills an old woman, though.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man, seed lady.
Seed lady gets it like right
in the neck.
My question about this, though, is I don't know why we don't see
seed lady spurt in here.
Yeah. She just kind of like sits back down.
I think I can answer this because it's like
when we saw the baby. The baby wasn't
covered in blood. I feel like old ladies
and babies, you pull it back.
Yeah. I mean, that makes it. It's not that.
It's not a horror movie. I agree with you.
That old lady should have been a pile of blood.
parts.
Nobody wants to do their grandmother
get chainsaw.
I thought her fucking head
head.
Andrew's going to go
to Garbageville and become
the leader of the Fury Boys.
Uh-oh.
Also,
the dude with the fucking
power bow and arrow,
the crossbow,
that gets Max in the hand
and it goes through his hand
and it's stuck in his head,
which is such a great touch.
His life is saved
because of a ghost.
Oh, right?
And yet he instinctively
puts his hand up. Yes.
At some point, I mean, because this action scene
goes on forever, not in a bad way, but
like there's so many ins and outs of it.
Max gets into the
People Eaters car here.
Damn it, this is great. And uses him
as a human shield for Morton Joe.
It's an amazing thing.
It's so fucking good. There is a great moment
too where the people leader's trying to
like climb out of the car and you just see Max
like, oh no, you don't.
And he puts his fat foot on the
accelerator there. Oh, yes.
Oh, right.
By the way, his head got blown off by Morton Joe, which is awesome.
And I think Max gets taken by a pole cat here.
Yes, he does.
And then he springs over onto your favorite guitar boat.
The guitar boat is there.
Right.
Oh, Max is on the guitar rig, which is cool.
Zoe Kravitz also gets plucked out of the car by one of these pole cats.
She gets kidnapped.
And I really feel like guitar guy, like, he's like, I can't really fight him.
Get any requests?
All right.
Stay away, please.
it's around I think because he does kind of get into it with the guitar guy a little bit and the fucking mask comes off yeah and I texted you guys this last night I couldn't believe no one got back to me he looks exactly like slender man it was like four o'clock in the morning I was asleep I was a pretty late but he does he doesn't or at least a Doug Jones esk figure I thought Doug Jones was playing this guy he is some like famous Australian guitar player I mean maybe that's the the end of of Slender Man is this the end of slender man is this the end of like the world like the world is he is playing this guy he is some like the famous Australian guitar player I mean maybe that's the end of slender man I'm like the world
ends and slender man's like, what do
I do now? Well, after
y'all, the plumbing got turned off in the slender
mansion, dude, but with the water short. Then he just
started noodling on the guitar, and
the rest is history.
This guy... I like your style, slender.
I could give you a job.
This guy, the guitar player,
I guess he goes by Iota.
That's his
stage name in Australia, I guess.
Yeah, I could do Panama, but
not going to hear it, but with
all of these...
That would be great, dude.
By the way, here are our Slender Man episode on the Dead Mead podcast.
There you go.
Yeah, the 2008.
Where the 2018?
Yes, it's not 2008.
He was just creepypast at that time.
He comes, yeah, now we're all on the rig, and this is like a great rig fight.
We're just, Rick just shows up and he's, you know, finally doing stuff.
What is the deal with Rickus's mask?
or like, it's like a latex beard he's sporting here?
It's a fake chin. He has to hold it up, you see.
I see. I don't know.
No, that might actually be true.
Yeah, maybe he has like no control over his jar or something.
Yeah, I don't know. He, I mean, all of these people look ridiculous, so you don't know for sure.
Dad said I was a mouth breather, so we got this apparatus here.
He just had that on since he was a teenager.
I've been breathing through my nose ever since.
Oh, yeah, Zoe Kravitz gets stolen.
And then it's kind of awesome.
there's this other, I don't know the names
of all the maids, but she's not Zoe Kravitz
and she's not Riley Keog, and she's not the lady
that gets killed, she's not the other one.
I think that's the DAG. The DAG wants
to escape earlier in the movie. She's like,
she wants to go back. Oh no, that's Cheeto.
That's Cheeto. She wants to go back
to Morton Joe. Right. And then sort of
towards the end here, she does, she's
like, take me with you, take you. And, but
she's like playing both sides here, which is kind of a cool
turn for that character. Right?
Yeah, yeah, because then, because then
Rickus Erectus takes her to the back
And while his back is turned
He gets hit in the back of the head by Max
My God, Rictus Erectus is down
Oh man, Max, Rictus Erectus wasn't even looking
Carl and Morton Joe
Rickus Erectus ain't coming home to night
Corpus is outside the ring like Paul Bear
Helling in at him
Oh, Rickus, what are you doing?
Oh, I almost fell out my bassinet
Going back to the milk farm, that it is.
Rictus and Rectus has fallen through the chair.
It's amazing.
By God, they're fighting on top of the war ring.
Here comes Foley with the tacks.
That's Austin's music.
It's Austin.
It's Austin. It's Austin.
That fat old man loved Stone Cold Steeles.
Of course he did.
He certainly did.
When Rickness survives through this brief encounter, he dies later on.
Yes, spectacularly.
Yeah.
But yes, Charlie's uses this kind of diversion to get on to Immorton Joe's rig.
And she just ripped his fucking jaw off.
What's so awesome about this is like her arm gets ripped off too.
It gets all stuck in the wheel.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
And it pulls everything apart, which is awesome.
And I just love how there's no fucking.
speech. Yes. There's
nothing. She's got a zinger of Remember
Me, but that's it. Right. But it's not
it, though. It's not like, for your crimes,
a Martin Joe.
You'll be hanged for the neck till dead.
Yeah. It's just like, remember me, and I fucking
ripped your face off. I ripped
your jaw off your body.
It is such a brutal death
and it's wonderful. And it comes quick.
And that's the other thing, because we're trained
to expect a speech.
And it's just, remember me?
Or like, he's going to get the upper hand for
a second. It's going to be some kind of a scene and it's just not
at all. And because this movie's so fucking fast. Yeah. And then
they're like going back to the Citadel with his war rig. And then
in the war rig of the main, the main war rig we've
seen. Yeah. It's got Nux's driving it and there's
everyone else is behind them. Still in pursuit. And Rictus
is pulling up the fucking engine block. Is that legal?
I don't know. I don't know. My God, Rictus is up again. I did not see this.
coming. Look out, Nux, he's got
an engine block. Nux, no
behind you, but turn around.
No, he's not even look. Oh, my God,
he's not looking. He's playing
for the ground. No, Nux, look.
Oh, God. No. No.
Damn it to hell. Damn, Rictus
erectus to hell. Oh, just what a
class act. My God.
What a dirty dog. He's got to use
the ropes. Oh, he fell to his death.
That kind of reminds me
there is one of the many mothers
calls Rick DeSerectus Big Boy.
It's like, hey, big boy,
and then it's murdered immediately.
She's thrown right off the fucking truck.
So what happens with the lady
who was hanging from the cage?
How does she die?
So two of them fall off.
Oh, right.
They're on like a motorcycle, I think, or something.
And they wipe out.
And then it's like, oh, Duck.
Because Morton Joe's like driving, trying to run him down.
And she like drops them both to the ground.
and he drives over them.
And they survive.
And then, yeah, and then she stands up like, oh,
and I think she's, like, shooting at him or something.
She shoots a couple of the war boys off of his rig,
and then the people leader.
Yeah, the people leader.
She doesn't see him coming
and is just immediately run over.
Which is, I mean, it's cool.
Because again, like, this is a movie about
people of empowerment, but these ladies are going down
in record numbers, too.
Oh, totally.
Sure, yeah.
Yeah, it's a war.
So, yeah, so Nicholas Holt right here is,
like, everybody's getting off, and Riley Keo is like,
come on, let's go.
and he's like, I'll, he's like, I'll jam the throttle and then follow you.
And she kind of looks at him like, no, you're not.
He's like, yeah, no, I'm not.
Yeah, they kind of have a good, there's a good series of like back and forth
of them just sort of looking for the last time.
It's good redemption and him doing a witness me for the right reason.
Yeah.
It's actually really, it's a really nice character arc touch thing.
But he cries and then he's like, shiny, crud.
If I'm going to go out, I'm going out happy.
He turns the wheel.
Rick this erectus. Everyone goes
dead town. And then what the great thing about
this shot is we get the fucking
guitar rig coming up behind
them. And all those amps and guitars
flying out? Dude, it's such
a fucking great collision.
If you're a guitar guy, you're like, this is how
I'm going to die. Awesome.
Exactly. He's going out
rocking, dude.
It's
oh man, I hate even to say it, but it's the slightest
bit silly that the guitar comes at the
camera like a bad video game. Yeah. It does, but I like it. It's fun.
What's in 3D? It was 3D. You could see it in 3D. Oh, could you really? Yeah.
It was released in 3D. But yeah, so Richtus is dead. Somebody called Rickus's
mother's grave tonight. Yeah, totally. That lady's not around. I think he's the woman in the
beginning that tries to kill a Morton Joe. Oh, wow. Yeah, that could be. But yeah, this causes
a collapse. So, like, they are now shut off. They come back. Now,
at some point
Furiosa gets stabbed
in the side
earlier on in the fight
yeah
and it's before she even
kills the Morton Joe
right and then she also fights
that other
interpreter I want to say interpreter
but that's not it
Imperator right yeah
that dude that she like
head butts
yes yeah that's awesome
oh yeah that's a fucking
solid headbut too
but she's pretty mortally wounded
here or it seems mortally wounded
she's got a collapsed long
right yeah and this is where Max
does a
transfusion for her.
He does like a weird triage thing
like her lungness collapsed. He like
stabs her at the side. I am so
sorry. Yeah. It's so great.
Yeah. And then he does do the transfusion.
This was actually, I found out of my notes. This, I am so
sorry is the line to me that kind of sound like he was
doing a Jamaican accent.
You know what? I'm so sorry.
No, what I love about this scene too is that's
because like at the start of the movie is like, oh, what's
your name? What do I call you? And he refuses
to answer. Right. Just could just call him fool.
And now in this moment, he's like, my name's Max.
Oh, yeah.
It's a great, yeah, Max.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah, when they're going to the past, she's like, when I yell fool, drive, that means you drive.
So they get back to the Citadel and they pull up and they're like lowering the thing because I see the war rig.
So they're lowering the platform that brings the trucks back up.
And poor corp is like, ah, good, my family is back.
Certainly all alive, of course.
And they're here just in time for.
my birthday. I hope they bought me a present. Oh, wait, they're all dead. All of them.
Where are my baby brothers? Oh, man. And boy, for this guy, too, poor corpus, man, it's not the
reaction you want. Mad Max pulls the fucking sheet off and a Morton Joe's corpse is just laying
on the front of this thing and the whole town cheers. Oh, they were apart like Gaddafi.
It's amazing. Yes, they absolutely do. Dude, it's like a fucking zombie movie, but I also thought
about Omar Gaddafi last night. That's what you do to monsters, man. And so they stopped the
because they're like, you know, they stop it from hitting the ground
because they're like, who are you? What's going on here?
And then everybody starts chanting, let them up.
And it's like, well, all right.
And Morton Joe's fucking dead.
Like, okay, ding dong, man.
The little kids really lead the movement in this.
Sorry, Chris.
Little kids did something in a movie.
No, but this, see, this is tolerable because they're not characters
and all they do is push a little lever and it's fine.
I will tell you, if this movie, as great as it is,
and the soundtrack is amazing,
by Junkie XL, but we cut to credits, and we get that awesome Tina Turner song.
We don't need another hero, better movie.
It is a great song.
It's a great song.
I won't fight you out.
One Tina Turner songs.
Survive the Armageddon.
That's all we got, folks.
It's a single vinyl of the Tina Turner song, and I guess a bunch of cassettes of Cebedo.
I'll take it, man.
I'll take it, whatever.
One question for the group here.
Who runs Barter Town?
Auntie.
What's...
Master Blaster runs Barter Town.
Well, yes, it does.
Anti-entity or something?
Yes, yes.
There's a power dynamic between the two.
Eventually, we'll do all these movies.
I think they're super fun.
I mean, this podcast is never going to end, right?
I conflate the first two, like, nobody's business.
Mostly because the first two don't have Tina Turner in the...
Did you...
The stupid...
You know how the puner in the Thomas...
Jane Punisher for previous episode.
Remember how his family
dies and they cut and they're
just falling over and they're getting run over?
That's an exact, they do that.
Oh yeah, yeah. It's like scene for scene for Mad Max.
Oh, is Jonathan Hensley like a
huge Mad Max fan or something? It seems because
it's literally the same scene. The way his family
dies in Mad Max one is so awesome
because it's like this biker's
like running down this woman and
child and you see like a
close up of the room of
the accelerating the bike and
And then you see her look back, and then you see the baby's, like, little ball fall on the highway.
Oh, yeah.
See, and that's, you know what that is?
That's a fucking dude that storyboards his movie.
Yeah?
That's exactly what that shit is.
Do you think Corpus is like, all right, I let you up here?
So, I mean, like, I'm still the ruler here.
I'm in line for the throne.
He's killed and eaten immediately.
Oh, man.
Look, just put me in charge of the milk farm.
Speaking of the milk farm, by the way,
all those women that were being milked
at the beginning of the film
all push the water levers forward
and all the water comes out.
What the fuck are you doing?
You're wasting it off.
I'm with Chris here.
No, no.
You have to waste some of it right here
to get the people on your side
to build a new government.
I mean, it's a Super Bowl.
You know, it's like a Super Bowl.
Everyone's so excited. We're just spraying
champagne all over the place.
That is, the Super Bowl,
the World Series.
The Stanley Cup, all of it.
It's always such a waste of good booze.
Yeah.
Because you know they're not buying cheap stuff with that shit.
I would do the cheap stuff for the spraying.
Oh, sure.
No more shiny and chrome.
We just want buckets.
Just a bunch of buckets for water.
Now I want to see a Super Bowl where everyone's just spray painting their faces.
That's what the XFL is going to be.
You're right.
With the New York, New Jersey hitman, win the big whatever the fuck the Super Bowl.
The McMahon trophy.
Yeah, exactly.
What's the status of that?
I mean, it's going to happen next year.
Is it slated for 2020?
Yeah, I mean, they had a draft and everything.
Oh, did they?
Yeah, they have like teams.
Hey, look out, Roger Goodell.
They're convinced McMahon's coming for you.
And they're going to stand for the goddamn anthem.
That's right.
I think it's in their contract.
No, yeah, they have to or some shit.
It's like fucking horseshit.
The end of this movie, though.
So they're going up.
It's kind of amazing.
Charlize is there.
They're, like, they're heralding her as like.
Because she's like the only public figure.
Yeah, she's a known personality in the town.
And she just killed the world's biggest comeback.
So she's like clearly the leader here.
But she was very well respected within that organization.
And it's amazing.
It's such a great subtle touch to the end of this movie that's had like such huge clangs.
There's no speech.
It's not like you get on that platform and you're going to do a better job than I ever could.
I can't.
He just kind of gives her a, he kind of Irish goodbyes the movie a little bit.
He absolutely does.
They have the look.
he does a quick two finger like boopsie kind of a thing i love it she fades into the
respect yeah that's it it's oh my storyboard your movies better folks then you can maybe make
fury road someday i mean my god and it's just great because he's you know he's it's a it's a mad max
movie so he has to go off by him by himself there's no way that's no other way this can end no
and you know he's just off to whatever the next experience is that he's like the fucking
vessel for the story facility i would stay for dinner
You know what I mean?
Like, there's got to be some food there.
What, you want to fucking eat the little corpus?
No, no.
Well, no.
We're having fucking corpus crunch, dude.
Corpus nuggets.
This is corpus stuffed with cornbread stuffing.
Oh, we have, oh, we found rictus.
We found the rictus.
So we're having rictus tonight.
Oh, so actually, if you take the corpus, put it in the rictus, put it in the immortal.
Oh, that you got it's a scumbagged turduckin.
Tonight we have wild cut corpus.
Yeah, I would just like, you know what?
I just saved this whole thing.
I just want to, I want to be around for the victory party.
Yes, and then tomorrow I will leave.
Or like a glass of hot milk.
Exactly.
Just like rest your wounds.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, stay for a month to get healthy.
You're going to just go back on the road?
But it's, it's pretty.
He's the fucking road warrior, Steve.
He's not the fucking dinner table warrior.
That's I am the dinner table warrior.
It is a cooler ending for him just to disappear to the crowd.
and instead of ending with a title we end with a quote
Oh yes
Where must we go
We who wander this wasteland
In Search of Our Better Sells
Yeah nice
I didn't write down who it's attributed to
But it's all fake
It's a George Miller thing
Oh yeah it was like the first history of man
Or something it said
It says something weird like that
The first historian or something
I was trying to Google a little bit about it
A little bit about it
And it was something about like there was this
Economist or something who had some theory
that they thought was, because
the guy who wrote this book or whatever
had a thing. He was looking for
Ben Stein's money.
Yeah, like the first
historian or whatever.
Adam Carolla is the first.
Or no, Jimmy Kimmel.
Sorry, Jimmy Kimmel.
But it's fucking great because
we're ending with a phony quote
and that's your credits and it's fucking
glorious.
And yeah, that's it.
And that's fear.
We don't need a name.
They should have thought
Junky Excel should have thought about covering this.
Yes.
Get Karen Owen.
Oh, fuck, yes.
That's a good idea.
Perfect.
So, I mean, again, seems a little silly,
but does this hold up, Steve?
It really does, yeah.
I mean, obviously, like, all the political stuff,
you could watch this movie, like, 10 times
and still find it a little bit more.
We're like, just appreciate it.
It's not even like, oh, every time you find something,
you just appreciate it a little more.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just, because every time,
you get sucked into this thing and your jaws clenched the entire time because of all the
fucking crazy action. Yeah, it's kind of a perfect movie, period. It blurs out the dramatic
structure. So you kind of forget when the stops happen. Yes. When all those things happen.
So you're still surprised by it when you come back to it. And there are, there is just so much
detail in these chases. It's fucking sane. Yeah. Yeah, this rules. It's the best.
That's all I have to say. It's the best fucking movie. I'm just agree.
being with them, because obviously it does hold up
and I really enjoy this film. I think it might
be my favorite of the decade or one
of them, maybe up there with phantom
threads, another big one I love.
Totally. But yeah, I mean, if you
haven't seen it, well, you should have.
You shouldn't have listened to this.
Oh, so do you think Woodcock
sewed the anti-Semitism
into his jacket?
Into the madmanx jacket?
Okay, yes, I do.
Secrets. I'm glad you made that connection
because I just laughed politely.
Oh, yeah, we'll have the corpus,
a little rictus,
what else,
sausages made out of the people eater.
My hungry butter.
My hungry boy.
I am so glad we did this
because I have owned this DVD,
this Blu-ray literally since 2016.
Ditto.
It's been opened, but never watched.
Story of my life.
And so I was really fucking hype to go back and watch this.
My question is, has anyone seen this, like, Chrome edition that he made?
I have not.
No, I have not.
Fine.
I like the color.
I think the color works.
That's what I was going to say, because I saw some people on Twitter talking about the...
Is that what it's called the Chrome Edition?
I think it is, yeah.
Because I watch...
Black and Chrome, I want to say something like that.
Because I watched Logan Noir, which is a similar idea.
But to me, like, the color in Logan wasn't as important.
important as it is to this movie.
He even was like, I read something
on the IODB about George Miller
wanted to add, like, he went to the
production design team, like put as much color
in everything because
you know, I'm tired of looking at post-apocalypse
being drab and gray.
Yeah, it's saturated as hell.
Apparently one initial idea
was making it black and white.
But then he decided to go in the direct
opposite way, which was a good idea.
Well, guys, I think it was a thing where Warner Brothers
was like, look, man, nobody's
gonna fucking go to this.
Do you want people to see this movie
that you've been trying to make for two decades?
And that's like a right call on studio interference.
There was some other line about like all the other
post-apocalyptic movies being like a little sepia
and weird, like desaturated and...
And he was like, oh, you know, people would try
in these apocalyptic societies to add as much color
into their life as they can.
Do you sort of break the monotony, which makes,
I mean, some volume of sense, you know?
Yeah, there's no bright yellows in the road.
Yeah, definitely not.
So that is Mad Max Fury Road
directed by the mad genius
George Miller. He better get on these fucking sequels.
You are no spring chicken, young man.
What is with these fucking old George's
dragon ass making things? Finish that book, Martin.
Oh, right. I'm still mad at that guy.
So this concludes, We Love Movies Month. It's been a rad fun time
here. You know, it's cool, though.
What's that, Steve? We love movies.
news all year round over on the
Patreon feed. What? What? Yeah,
we've got all sorts of great, we
just released an episode on Empire Strikes Back.
We did an episode of The Terminator. That episode
of Empire Strikes Back that is now
available on Patreon is about three
hours long. Just about, yeah.
Just so everyone knows. What did you say
we get to Hoff and 45 minutes
in? I think
it's like, yeah.
And then the Battle of
Hoth is like at an hour.
Yeah. I will let you know,
Because we've been doing this for a long time.
Uh-huh.
There is 24 hours of content on the $3 level.
You sign up today on $3.3.
Right, that's animation damnation where we riff about cartoons.
We just did the Rudolph the Red Nose, Reindeer, Rankin, and Bass Joint.
Oh, yeah.
That's 24 hours of that.
If you sign up for the $5 level, you get all that, plus all these We Love movies episodes,
you get 68 hours of content the second you sign up.
Good, great.
I don't even think that's counting the back archive.
Exactly.
That's right
The back archive is a hundred and twenty-nine hours
Which you also get at the $5 level
Yeah so you want to do that math quick there Steve
No I don't
And then if you do
At the $8 level you get
The Nexus which is our monthly Star Trek show
This month we did a episode on First Contact
Totally
Which is an amazing full-length episode
We did
We also do the Gleap Glossary
Eric's side show that he makes us do
we could stop we could stop
it's a side show where we just talk about a Star Wars character
and play around with it but by the way
if you've watched the Mandalorian now
in full we've done episodes on every single one of those bad boys
it's on the Patreon it's at the $8 level paired with the Gleap Gloucester
you get 145 hours the second you sign up for the $8 level
so that's a pretty good value of folks
totally man and you know what it's just going to keep accumulating
and I will say I'm going to tease it out.
I'm not going to say exactly what it is.
But if you liked the Mandalorian Half Hour,
stay tuned for something coming up in January
at the $8 level on Patreon as well.
And I think if you maybe connect some dots here
as to the cinema and television predilections
of the four people in this room.
Jesus Christ, you know what it is.
Those metrics, by the way,
are from our good friend Drew Stewart.
You could follow him at at Star Wars Viv.
comp, which is Star Wars
Visual Comparisons, which lets you know all
the shit they fuck with in those special editions.
It's a great account. It is a great account.
Great photos of all the
George Lucas fuckery.
That's what the handle should have been called,
but I don't think they would have played out on Twitter.
Jack would have fucking banned him for life.
This is the end of the decade of we hate movies, guys.
It's been not, we haven't been doing it for 10,
we've been doing it for nine, but this was, the
2010s were the decade of the we hate movies.
That's right. We started in November of 2020.
It's all over. We defined the decade.
We did.
another turning
I can't wait for
people to listen to this show in the next decade
didn't really get those numbers
where I wanted
tell your friends
tell your friends
hey no is it bad for me to say
hey tell your friends
that no
that part was fine
it was everything before that
all people know my predilections
we have been incredibly lucky
over this decade
and have no intention
of stopping at any point
so we're going to keep going
as of January 2020
it is the worst of the previous year month
so we are going of course
into the worst of 2019
Steve Sadek what is this first episode
we're going right to hell
it's hell boy
yeah
right this is it's one of the worst
movies I saw this year
as of this recording I'm not seeing it
I kind of been dreading this entire time
here's the thing
it's a combination of two things
it's a bad movie and it's embarrassing
oh so it's that kind of shit
and it's long
So until next year with Hellboy, I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Seda, Chris Cabin.
Eric's sister.
Happy New Year.
