Episode 82: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

*Late episode post due to technical difficulties forcing a full re-edit (warning: may be editing mistakes)

NEW EPISODE TRUCKING YOUR WAY!!!!

The Watch/Skip’ers hitch a ride on Fury Road and take on the new entry in the popular and well-loved Mad Max series - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. This time creative brain trust director George Miller has buzzy indie darling Anya Taylor-Joy smearing the oil on her face and donning the bionic-motorized arm in place of Charlize Theron while Chris Hemsworth chews scenery as a twisted outback-Cyrano de Bergerac-apocalyptic madman. With nine years between this one and the stunning Mad Max: Fury Road (widely regarded as a “perfect” action film), will audiences take to this messianic origin story that is quite different from any other film in the franchise or leave it, Miller, and those hungering for a direct sequel to Fury Road on the shoulder and looking for a tow? Warning…bad Tina Turner/Auntie Entity impressions ahead.

But first the PLUSES - Emcee is ready to…..PUMP….YOU UP!!!!! while Cupcake features some Netflix goodies to get in your eyeballs….you know…since everyone just waits to stream movies. #SAVEEXHIBITION. (Editor’s note: This is Beanie… You gonna pay for these peeps to go to the movies? $65 or more versus $20 or less to stream? Don’t make me kick your down again, humans!) 

Q & Alex returns with a fury (see what I did there?) when the boys talk icky food, desserts, achy body parts, and a weirdo hypothetical.

TAKE A WAR BOY HUFF AND GET US IN YOUR EARS!
