Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga · Citizen Frame

• 0:07
  It's been a hard day. I lost my convoy.
• 0:11
  I lost my crew. I'm gonna have to start again. Hell, I'm driving off thinking
• 0:16
  I ought to start with you. You got good vision.
• 0:19
  You read the play and you keep your head. You may be raw, but you have about
• 0:23
  you a purposeful savagery.
• 0:25
  You give me time, I'll teach you everything you need to know about road war.
• 0:30
  If you survive everything we take on together you'll have
• 0:34
  all the skills you need to get wherever you want to go no questions
• 0:37
  asked all right guys it's
• 0:40
  time to say goodbye to the mad max saga this time with furiosa
• 0:43
  which is called furiosa a mad max
• 0:46
  saga even though mad max isn't in it despite a very small
• 0:49
  cameo that is actually important to the plot but we'll
• 0:52
  get to it yes he is in it and yeah
• 0:56
  we'll dive into that scene i almost wish tom hardy
• 0:59
  hadn't was slightly bigger part even if it was a 10 minute
• 1:02
  part but yeah so they decided
• 1:06
  to go a different direction this was kind of already pre-written as
• 1:09
  a treatment or something like that george miller already had kind of a spinoff
• 1:12
  idea not a big fan of spinoffs just because lately with the star wars and the
• 1:17
  marvels they're doing my fucking head in i was like oh god do we need this but
• 1:22
  when you get an Oscar-nominated performance from the wonderful,
• 1:25
  wonderful Charlize Theron,
• 1:26
  and pretty much the scene stealer of the film, and why not go for it?
• 1:33
  But you decide not to go with the girl herself, Charlize Theron.
• 1:38
  Now, George Miller says he would have went with her in two seconds flat,
• 1:42
  not a problem, but you would have to do some de-aging with her,
• 1:46
  and George Miller's not a A big CGI guy,
• 1:50
  he will use it, obviously, if he needs to, but he doesn't like it,
• 1:54
  depend on it, and he didn't want people looking at the de-aging of the actress
• 1:58
  rather than what's the surroundings, the environment that they're in.
• 2:03
  And I kind of got that. And so he decided to cast a newcomer, well, up-and-comer.
• 2:09
  Well, obviously, it's been around a couple of years.
• 2:11
  Anya Taylor-Joy, and she actually pulls off.
• 2:15
  She looks a lot like her. Yeah. I would say as well, Alayah Brown is worthy
• 2:20
  of mention too, who plays the young Furiosa basically in the first act.
• 2:25
  And she has quite a lot of stuff to do.
• 2:27
  So yeah, she deserves mention as well, I think. She's actually very good as a child actress.
• 2:33
  And I don't even like child actresses, you know, or actors, you know.
• 2:38
  Yeah, give her a shout, give her a shout. A lot of staring and a lot of staring.
• 2:42
  George Miller's back, of course, and the rest of the team from Fury Road,
• 2:48
  they're all back, same crew and all.
• 2:52
  And as we all, we talked about it real quickly with Fury Road, this movie Tanked.
• 2:58
  And I thought about it. Now it's going to find its footing.
• 3:01
  I've already bought it on 4K. It's going to make its money back.
• 3:04
  It made money back, but you need to almost double your money to see a profit.
• 3:10
  So it's got a little ways to go.
• 3:12
  Now I'm hoping what George Miller would do then would do a little less commercial
• 3:18
  version, Fury Road and Furiosa, and strip down the Road Warrior itself and go back to basics.
• 3:25
  Back to Roach. Maybe give us an ending with Tom Hardy and Furiosa,
• 3:29
  you know, teaming up again.
• 3:30
  That'd be kind of cool because you don't need to spend $150 million to do this
• 3:33
  movie if you want to do it the old school way, you know?
• 3:37
  So hopefully Warner Brothers and him will kind of do a good swan song,
• 3:41
  I guess is the perfect word, term to use.
• 3:43
  Yeah, I mean, I would love to see it, you know, with Mel Gibson returning as well.
• 3:49
  I mean, now you're, yeah, but I think you're, at that point,
• 3:52
  that's maybe an older version of Tom Hardy at the end would be kind of cool, you know? Yeah.
• 3:57
  Like, flash forward, and there's Mel Gibson sitting next to the car,
• 4:00
  something that'd be kind of cool.
• 4:01
  But we're not there yet and hopefully we do get some kind of a swan song for
• 4:05
  everyone involved in this project in these projects now the reason i think it
• 4:09
  tanked and i'm shocked literally.
• 4:13
  Fucking shocked we live in a world where fucking barbie makes a billion dollars,
• 4:18
  that terrible oppenheimer which i don't get makes a billion dollars and yet
• 4:23
  this this film just barely touches 100.
• 4:27
  Shocked. I just, I don't get it. Now, I thought about it before this podcast.
• 4:33
  Now, the reason I think this tanked is a couple different reasons.
• 4:38
  One, what I first mentioned, it's a spinoff. People are sick of Marvel.
• 4:42
  They're sick of Star Wars.
• 4:43
  So when they think spinoff, they're like, fuck me, here we go,
• 4:47
  another spinoff. I do think that is the big one.
• 4:50
  Number two, I think people are disappointed that George Miller did not cast,
• 4:56
  That's kind of why I brought it up in the beginning, he wanted to,
• 4:59
  but this, that was his reason.
• 5:01
  And I give him, I give him credit where credit's due. I can see where he was at with that.
• 5:08
  And three is Mad Max is not it. A hundred percent.
• 5:13
  That's what I was just about to say. And also I would say, I would say Mad Max is
• 5:16
  Well, you know, I mean, there's multiple other reasons, you know,
• 5:19
  like, you know, things being rushed so quickly on the streaming services.
• 5:23
  Also, I don't, sadly, general audience members, I do not believe that they were
• 5:29
  invested enough with the character of Furiosa, aside from even,
• 5:33
  you know, Mad Max being there.
• 5:35
  Yes she's a pretty cool character and fury road
• 5:38
  and stuff and everybody likes charlie stir on she's always
• 5:41
  very impressive but as for the character of furiosa herself
• 5:44
  general audience members were just not invested enough with her or even knew
• 5:49
  enough about her it's different for nerds like us and mad max fans who know
• 5:55
  her but we're we're not the majority you know so that's That's a big problem, you know?
• 6:03
  Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, there's quite a few reasons, I'm sure.
• 6:09
  But it is what it is. And maybe you'll find this footing once people watch and
• 6:12
  go, hey, fuck, that was actually quite good.
• 6:14
  I mean, I saw this thing three times in a theater. I saw it twice in cinema. And I wasn't bored.
• 6:18
  Yeah, and I just watched it again. And, like I said, back-to-back with Fury Road.
• 6:23
  And I'm still enjoying it. Now, it has lost a little value with me.
• 6:29
  I overhyped it when i first saw it and now when you
• 6:31
  see a little more and you kind of relaxed and
• 6:34
  you're in your fourth or fifth viewing yourself kind of yeah the dust settles
• 6:38
  a bit and you kind of see what went wrong a little bit with i would agree with
• 6:42
  that because with me i was i thought it was incredible and i thought you know
• 6:46
  for seeing that for the first couple of times in the cinema but now that the
• 6:50
  dust has settled a bit you know but whereas whenever i first watched it those
• 6:54
  first couple of times I thought I think this is maybe even better than Fury
• 6:57
  Road and while certain aspects of it I still think is as I discussed in the
• 7:03
  previous podcast like sort of general plot and story and characterization overall
• 7:08
  Fury Road still blows it away.
• 7:12
  Yeah, we'll dive into the comparisons here in a second. Now,
• 7:16
  it wouldn't be a Mad Max film, technically, or a Mad Max spin-off film without these names.
• 7:23
  We got Furiosa, Dementus, Praetorian Jack, The History Man, Morton Joe,
• 7:28
  The People Eater, The Organic Mechanic, Rictus Rectus, Scrotus,
• 7:32
  Meg, The Octoboss, Fang, and Squint.
• 7:35
  So there you go. The People Eater, The Organic Mechanic back.
• 7:40
  And did you know the people eaters backstory
• 7:43
  which i read up upon is crazy uh
• 7:46
  he's basically a cannibal he eats people that's
• 7:49
  why he's called the people eater and the reason that he's
• 7:52
  all deformed with the big food and stuff is because he's like
• 7:55
  basically it's due to him his cannibalism and
• 7:59
  his eating of other people bowl okay good to know um so i do we open up and
• 8:09
  we talked about velcro now we meet velcro at a young age we saw her in near
• 8:13
  the tip end there fury road velcro is obviously furiosa's kid sister.
• 8:18
  And we see her you know i don't get why she took a chance on just able on their
• 8:23
  bikes she should just let them go yes or she couldn't let them go well because they didn't want they
• 8:29
  couldn't let her they couldn't let them go because they didn't want them
• 8:31
  to leave and tell people well exactly exactly that's what
• 8:34
  it was because the green place has to be protected because
• 8:37
  it's which is actually their little community is actually quite selfish i can
• 8:41
  understand their reasons for it and that they don't want these basically lunatics
• 8:46
  you know taking over and destroying their paradise but at the same time they're
• 8:50
  being quite selfish and that they're letting the rest of the world suffer while
• 8:53
  they have it good but yeah that's still you know.
• 8:57
  Yeah, but the rest of the world is a bunch of mad fuckers. I will,
• 9:00
  you know, what about Perth? I think it's a judgment call.
• 9:03
  I mean, she can look at these people that, I mean, you could tell right away that they're scumbags.
• 9:08
  Why would you not want the people eater and the mantis in your community?
• 9:13
  Fuck that. And Rictus Erectus. We probably have them somewhere.
• 9:16
  You know what? We all probably have a people eater somewhere. Oh, absolutely.
• 9:19
  We just don't know who. Yeah, absolutely. I would say there's much worse than
• 9:23
  people eaters out there in the real world. Trust me.
• 9:28
  So when she gets kidnapped, beautiful desert scenery coming up during day and
• 9:34
  night. Incredible. Incredible.
• 9:38
  And you win, so when the one guy, I can't remember his name,
• 9:44
  he got the no eyeball. Yes.
• 9:46
  Takes, takes credit. He's trying to take credit for finding the green place,
• 9:49
  but it's the other guy who did it.
• 9:52
  Furiosa wraps his neck around a chain and pulls him off his bike.
• 9:56
  And then we see the guy come into the tent. He's all bloody and choking.
• 9:59
  Was that because Furiosa did that to him with the chain or did the guy with
• 10:02
  the one eye do that to him?
• 10:03
  The guy with the one eye, I believe did it to him, although it's not explicitly stated.
• 10:07
  It was one-eyed headdress guy who
• 10:10
  did it i believe because they were looking to be rewarded
• 10:13
  by dementis for finding the yes that's
• 10:16
  that's what i thought at first but if you see the wound
• 10:19
  it's around his whole neck it's a gaping wound
• 10:22
  that she wrapped around his neck and pulled him off the bike so
• 10:25
  i wasn't sure if furiosa actually caught and then
• 10:28
  don't forget furiosa's mother was also like shooting at
• 10:31
  him and firing harpoons at him and stuff as well so it actually could
• 10:34
  have been her they see when i re-watched this for the podcast no
• 10:37
  wasn't no no no she didn't take the shot no i
• 10:39
  know she couldn't but she was taking shots at them
• 10:42
  you know generally so yeah but he
• 10:45
  was talking oh no i know but there's
• 10:49
  stuff that happens off screen that we the audience are not
• 10:51
  privy to i.e who actually does the the
• 10:54
  proper wound to him it's because i rewinded it
• 10:57
  back when i was watching him who did that to
• 11:00
  him you know but we're not told i'm i
• 11:03
  think it's very yourself well i think it was one-eyed um
• 11:06
  headdress guy who i actually like there's a.
• 11:09
  Really funny line he's got where he tries to be uh
• 11:12
  where furiosa won't tell him where the green place is you
• 11:15
  know when he first meets her and he goes he tries to
• 11:18
  be all cute you know like you would talk to a kid come on little girl tell me
• 11:21
  just he's like the worst sort of you know you know talking to kids he's like
• 11:27
  a pedophile trying to lure a fucking yeah i mean it's just he's like the worst
• 11:31
  at being cutesy to kids ever it just you know it was horrible you know i missing and all just.
• 11:40
  And that's one thing I run on theme throughout all of the Mad Max films,
• 11:44
  the dark humor, the dark Australian humor, which I love.
• 11:49
  Yeah, that's standard practice. Even the first half of the terrible Beyond Thunderdome
• 11:55
  had that. Yeah, exactly.
• 11:57
  So I don't get, the mom is this badass, you know, taking sniper shots,
• 12:02
  as you said, and knowing when to pull back.
• 12:05
  She can't shoot because there's too many of them at this point.
• 12:07
  So she's got to go in an ambush style to get her daughter back.
• 12:10
  Yes. And so, which she does so with that slingshot, which is kind of cool.
• 12:15
  Now, what threw me off a bit was, and I know you're going to come back with
• 12:20
  the motherly thing, but she's pretty there to protect her kid.
• 12:25
  Yes. And so the one woman she doesn't kill because she's on my mother too,
• 12:30
  she, you know, lets her go.
• 12:32
  She wouldn't have done that. She would have killed her right on the spot.
• 12:36
  It's a motherly thing it's a someone like dementis or
• 12:39
  a morton joe would have killed someone like that on the spot if
• 12:42
  they went against him but it's a it's a motherly intuition
• 12:45
  thing but the character's smart enough to
• 12:48
  know to kill it because she's lying she's lying
• 12:52
  or i just think it was kind of out of character for what we got even though
• 12:56
  we soon we only introduced her for a brief moment you saw this just no no it
• 12:59
  works for me because it's because there's more of don't Don't forget that there's
• 13:04
  more of a humanity to the ones in the green place and their full lives as well,
• 13:10
  as opposed to these mutant fuckers in the wasteland who are all half-lives, you know.
• 13:16
  It's basically, she has more of a humanity to her, so that's why she spurs her.
• 13:21
  But also, it is a bit of emotional blackmail by this woman, you know,
• 13:25
  who's saying, I'm a mother as well.
• 13:26
  And maybe she's not even a mother because, you know, it could be out and out
• 13:30
  bullshit, you know, just to spur her life. But she knows how to play on her
• 13:34
  emotions. She goes, I'm a mother myself.
• 13:35
  Don't kill me. And she falls for it.
• 13:40
  I'm not sure if all for getting gutted then yeah yeah yeah
• 13:45
  so i do i do like we mentioned this in the previous
• 13:47
  besides you know stunt stunt stunt team or mannequins taking hits left and right
• 13:54
  there's really no graphic graphic violence in the in the in the films well the
• 14:00
  guy grunge the guy who we've just talked about now who you know gets his head
• 14:05
  I'm cut off the one who found a green place.
• 14:07
  There's actually, again, it's not gratuitous, but there's a really quite gory
• 14:11
  and gruesome touch where whenever he actually dies, the dogs,
• 14:15
  Dementus' dogs, come over and lick up his blood.
• 14:19
  Yeah, that's more humorous, kind of. Like you just mentioned.
• 14:23
  And so what I mean is it's not, you know, you're not going to get,
• 14:26
  you know, it's not a slasher film.
• 14:28
  It's not nasty. And we, like you see this next Dementus pretty much exposes
• 14:35
  Furiosa to these scenes of cruelty is what he's going to pretty much do,
• 14:39
  keep her up on a chain and give her her Hannibal Lecter mouthpiece there.
• 14:43
  And so when they kill her mother and they're, what they're doing here,
• 14:49
  they're tearing out her guts.
• 14:50
  Yeah, the crucifixion. Is what they're doing. Tearing out her guts.
• 14:52
  And yeah, so you, he has a way of, you know exactly what's happening,
• 14:58
  but he hides the actual act.
• 15:02
  Yeah, it's not exclusive. And it's done through the child's eyes.
• 15:06
  Yeah, that's also- Which is a brilliant, brilliant shot because it's showing
• 15:10
  what it's going to turn Furiosa into by witnessing her mother's death.
• 15:14
  Well, yes, and it's also- And it's going to be Dementius' downfall. Yes.
• 15:18
  By killing her mother and exposing that to her at a young age,
• 15:22
  Dementius' death will be caused because of this act.
• 15:26
  And also regarding the way she dies as well,
• 15:29
  and it not being gratuitous, it's because, again, back to the brilliant visual
• 15:34
  storytelling by Miller, it's because just around this scene,
• 15:39
  the history man, I think it is, prepares human blood sausage for Dementus.
• 15:45
  That's what he eats. He eats human blood sausages.
• 15:48
  That's the organic mechanic. Yes, yes. But also, he also drinks human tears as well.
• 15:55
  Well because with them being half lives it's heavily
• 15:57
  suggested that they don't cry as part of their genetic
• 16:01
  deficiencies so he's like sort of he
• 16:04
  drinks some of young furiosa's tears well he
• 16:07
  doesn't it doesn't drink it's not like he sits over a big glass and drinks it
• 16:10
  he like you know sort of gets him and sort of well basically licks him the tears
• 16:16
  you know so yes he eats blood sausages human blood sausages and drinks human
• 16:21
  tears but again none of it is like it's all well Well handled.
• 16:26
  I like blood pudding. Well, yeah. Black pudding. We call it here.
• 16:31
  Black pudding. We call it black pudding actually over here.
• 16:34
  Congealed blood. People don't know what black pudding is in the US.
• 16:37
  If people don't know what black pudding is, go ahead and Google it.
• 16:40
  It's actually fucking awesome.
• 16:42
  But I got a little dementia in me, I guess you can say. I had a fry in town last week.
• 16:47
  I had a fry in town last week. Bit of an aside here.
• 16:50
  But they accidentally gave me black pudding and I was like, no,
• 16:53
  just give me fucking beans. I'm not a cannibal.
• 16:56
  Like Karen is You're not a cannibal, it's pig's blood Give me a fucking break,
• 17:01
  I'm joking, I'm joking I'm making a reference to Dementus eating blood Sausage,
• 17:08
  you know what's brilliantly What do you call it A part of Dementus' character
• 17:13
  as well The suggested tragic,
• 17:16
  Backstory, you know, with the teddy bear Yeah You know.
• 17:21
  Well it's not even at the end It's right here, he tells her because he gives
• 17:25
  her the teddy bear and he's right there and it's showing he's very protective of this girl.
• 17:30
  So yeah, when he gives her the teddy bear, he says it belonged to my little ones. Yes.
• 17:35
  And he kind of looks glazed over, like he said he can't cry or anything like
• 17:38
  that. But you, but Chris Helmsworth, he's very good in this role.
• 17:43
  He sells it quite well. And you can see the hurt in his eyes just mentioning that.
• 17:48
  It's a lot like them. He's got actually the same backstory, similar to Mad Max's. Yep.
• 17:53
  And it's just funny how the direction each one of them took.
• 17:58
  You got Mad Max, who's just kind of a loner, wants to be left alone,
• 18:01
  but it'll do the right thing if need be.
• 18:03
  The Reluctant Hero, as you call them back in the Road Warrior.
• 18:06
  And then you've got this guy who just went apeshit crazy.
• 18:08
  And yeah i mean while anya taylor joy
• 18:11
  is great i mean she's great generally and
• 18:15
  great in this film to me the real star of this film
• 18:18
  is hemsworth and did you know that um chris hemsworth first made his name in
• 18:25
  the australian soap opera home and away he went but this gets even better but
• 18:31
  he's actually returning to the soap because he's actually he comes across as quite a humble and
• 18:35
  pretty nice guy because so he's returning to the soap home on the way to play
• 18:39
  the same character obviously because he's basically he's not forgetting his
• 18:43
  roots or where he started,
• 18:45
  and you know it's one for the fans of that so yeah good for him good for him
• 18:50
  that's fucking here he's got a false nose on as well well do you really think
• 18:56
  people watch that and go oh wow i didn't realize chris hemsworth nose was that
• 18:59
  big do you really don't think people do you know that That was prosthetic.
• 19:03
  Are you fucking kidding me? Oh, look, it's Chris Hemsworth. Oh,
• 19:06
  yeah. I remember the Pinocchio nose. When he was in Home and Away.
• 19:11
  Oh, fuck off. You and your... He played a surfer dude character in Home and Away called Kim.
• 19:16
  I don't care. Don't care. Don't care. Nobody cares, actually.
• 19:20
  Nobody cares. Home and Away fans do. Nobody cares about that fact.
• 19:23
  No, they don't. Australians are like, oh, fuck off, mate.
• 19:26
  Why don't you bring it up? That shite so full. That's my Australian accent.
• 19:30
  I was going to say, are these Australians Scottish or something?
• 19:32
  You know, by that accent.
• 19:34
  That was a good accent. That was good. Right. Anyway, Hemsworth is superb here.
• 19:39
  Throughout the whole film.
• 19:41
  I like the character of the history man. Yes. I like the fact his whole body's
• 19:45
  tattooed with facts and literature and all these things.
• 19:49
  And I do like the fact it shows that Dementus' human side,
• 19:55
  and yes, we mentioned the teddy bear incident, but also that he's trying to
• 19:58
  educate himself on what he lost out on or the history of what was the world at one point in time.
• 20:07
  I do like that dynamic. amic it's funny
• 20:10
  the people he cherishes the most was the history man and furiosa
• 20:13
  he keeps caged up i believe that dementis is
• 20:17
  was was once a good man a family man but like you say it's very similar to mad
• 20:23
  max's backstory but he went a an extremely dark route a vengeful angry and even
• 20:29
  he explicitly states this at the end whenever furiosa has got him he basically
• 20:34
  he goes he calls her a little
• 20:36
  d little d he was you you'll turn because he
• 20:39
  was you think the vengeance will stop the screaming and the madness
• 20:42
  and the trauma and the pain you're going through hey was it
• 20:45
  only makes it worse so i believe he was once a good
• 20:48
  man but once whatever happened to his children and family just put him right
• 20:53
  over the edge and it became it just went too far and the the the the more bad
• 21:00
  and sort of crazy things he did he just went down that rabbit hole until there
• 21:04
  was no more of the former man left.
• 21:06
  Again, superb storytelling by Miller.
• 21:10
  There is a good scene where a warrior boy sets up a flare and they meet him
• 21:18
  on the road and he goes, bring me to your citadel.
• 21:21
  And he goes there. And during this part, you kind of see him,
• 21:25
  he's a leader of a smaller group.
• 21:28
  And he thinks he's this bad. It almost, I know it's completely night and day,
• 21:33
  don't get me wrong, of a spectrum. But we talked about this with the gang in Dead Man Walking.
• 21:40
  Yes, they're bullies and they can be quite effective at bullying and being quite violent.
• 21:46
  But Dead Man's Shoes, I mean, yeah.
• 21:49
  But at the end of the day, they're dipshits, and they're clueless.
• 21:52
  Yes. They're twats. And kind of this is what Dementus is, you know?
• 21:57
  So he thinks he can go up against these guys, the Citadel and Morton Joe,
• 22:01
  and Morton Joe pretty much laughs in his face.
• 22:04
  He shows the self-sacrifice of the warrior boy, which I thought was really cool.
• 22:09
  And he just blows him out of the water pretty much. And it's actually a really cool little sequence.
• 22:14
  However, I think George Miller really wanted him. I think he really wanted to
• 22:19
  show us this grand scale of things.
• 22:21
  And this is where the CGI kind of, okay, dude, you didn't need to show us all
• 22:26
  this. And it's a massive CGI world he's kind of created.
• 22:29
  In Fury Road, it was just kind of, you know, from a distance or a quick shot.
• 22:35
  This kind of whole sequence is very CGI-ed and kind of stands out a little bit for me.
• 22:40
  But I'm not going to, you know, just destroy the scene. The point of the scene
• 22:44
  is to prove that nobody's going to fuck with a Morton Joe and his team.
• 22:47
  And not even Dementus well I
• 22:51
  would say as well although there is you know CGI used um
• 22:54
  where this film does improve on
• 22:57
  Fury Road is the world building because we actually
• 23:00
  well coming up soon we get to see the likes of
• 23:03
  Gastown and the bullet farm and stuff so yeah
• 23:07
  yes some of it is realized especially Gastown with
• 23:10
  CGI and there are times when
• 23:14
  the CGI does jar a little but yeah I mean because we're so used to Mad Max films
• 23:22
  being so practical but it doesn't ruin it or anything like that but it does
• 23:27
  I do like the betrayal sequence between Octoboss and Dementus.
• 23:33
  And because he wants to take over Gastown So he has Octavos' team dress up as warrior boys.
• 23:42
  So it looks like they're just delivering, they're coming to pick up the oil from Gastown.
• 23:48
  And so in order for it to look real, Demetrius starts killing the warrior boys
• 23:53
  as if they're being ambushed, get them to open the gates. It's actually a very clever misdirect.
• 23:58
  Considering he's naive and doesn't really understand,
• 24:04
  what he's up against, he yeah he
• 24:07
  does he kind of knows what he's doing there so it's
• 24:11
  clever but there's nice when octoboss just looks
• 24:14
  at him and he says you're scum dementis because he's
• 24:17
  taking out his own men yeah yeah totally that's right yeah and then um later
• 24:22
  on i'm gonna find out that the octoboss's sort of gang which are known as the
• 24:27
  mortar fires i think they then have broken away and formed their their own splinter
• 24:31
  group away from the mattresses.
• 24:34
  Yeah. Because they try to take over the rig.
• 24:38
  Yeah. Yes, that's right. Whenever Pretoria and Jack and Furiosa are driving. Great scene actually.
• 24:44
  Yes. So he decided when he takes over Gastown, I do like the whole bargaining chip.
• 24:50
  He's so bad at it. He's terrible at it.
• 24:53
  He doesn't have a leg to stand on, but he does have Gastown and he does have
• 24:58
  a detonator, which I don't think is even a detonator. I think he's just playing them.
• 25:05
  But his detonator goes, I want this and this and this. He gets it,
• 25:08
  but they get Furiosa. They get the organic mechanic.
• 25:11
  And then he gets, he doesn't get as much. He gets like one third.
• 25:15
  I think he was one third of each of what he was up for.
• 25:19
  And then, but by him doing that bargaining chip and cutting what he really wanted
• 25:24
  down to a quarter, it's going to cause damage to the community of Gastown.
• 25:30
  So he's going to lose control of his men, Dementis. I just caught this when I was reviewing it.
• 25:35
  He actually loses control of his men, who are very loyal to him,
• 25:38
  but they, because they're missing, now they're going to be lack of food,
• 25:43
  lack of milk and cabbages, whatever else, potatoes.
• 25:47
  He is, his own team is going to start turning on him and we'll find that out
• 25:51
  soon when Petroleum Jack, it's Petroleum Jack?
• 25:55
  Sounds like, it sounds like a dinosaur. Yeah.
• 26:00
  When they go get something, when they go back to Gastown. So this bargaining,
• 26:04
  the way he bargains, is going to be his downfall as well.
• 26:08
  Yes, not only that there. Well, I mean, obviously, Dementis wants to rule more.
• 26:14
  He wants to take over the Citadel and also the bullet farm.
• 26:17
  But the problem is he runs, which we'll find out later on whenever it flies forward.
• 26:22
  It flies forward, you know, like so many years. Find out that he's completely
• 26:26
  run Gastown into the ground.
• 26:28
  He's completely useless because it's like basically civil war
• 26:31
  there where it's whereas before whenever it
• 26:34
  was onto the other guy who was under the control
• 26:37
  of a morton joe it was well run and it
• 26:40
  was you know it was you know it was a steady ship albeit a corrupt one but it
• 26:45
  was still well run whereas dementis is a useless bastard in terms of running
• 26:50
  these i mean but that's what i said his bargaining chip was the reason this
• 26:54
  happened he took too little yeah and that's why he causes is a civil war within his community.
• 27:00
  Yes. But yeah, so there's a nice shot where Furiosa is, this is where we're
• 27:06
  about to turn into Joy takes over the role, where she's about,
• 27:10
  she chops off her hair and she makes this fake wig, which I thought was clever.
• 27:15
  And when Rectus, Rectus is trying to kind of seduce her, she escapes from him and hides.
• 27:24
  And you see her wig fall and she obviously escapes because it's going to be
• 27:28
  years later, but they don't say years later.
• 27:30
  They see the wig where it fell and then this branch it got stuck on has grown
• 27:35
  out and there's a lot of leaves on it.
• 27:37
  Right. So it shows time has gone by. Not exactly how much time. What once-
• 27:42
  Once again brilliant visual exactly telling by george
• 27:46
  miller but just on that did you hear about the actor who
• 27:49
  plays rectus erectus he received
• 27:52
  because it's heavily suggested that the character is a pedophile especially
• 27:56
  in this scene he received a barrage of serious
• 28:00
  abuse and threats on social media and
• 28:03
  he basically this is a terrible reflection of the
• 28:06
  world we live in today but unfortunately not surprising or
• 28:09
  shocking either and he had to come out and basically make a statement
• 28:12
  saying i'm an actor i was playing a role
• 28:15
  you dipshits although he didn't say that but i
• 28:18
  would say that you know what i mean stop confusing me with
• 28:21
  a fictional character i played you know unbelievable but
• 28:25
  but sadly believable at the same time that's that's the
• 28:28
  wonderful movement millennials you
• 28:31
  never get this years ago this is the younger generation just
• 28:35
  wanted to cry oh to be fair to to be
• 28:38
  fair like back i remember back in even the 90s i'm
• 28:41
  on soap operas like coronation street there was a serial killer storyline with
• 28:45
  this um guy richard hillman or something and um that guy was receiving threats
• 28:50
  in the street so trust me humanity i've never heard i never heard someone taking
• 28:54
  that by playing a part in my in my in my in the world i grew up in And so,
• 28:59
  yeah, Yoki, but today's generation is worse.
• 29:03
  Yeah. Oh, social media. And I guarantee you they could care less what the character
• 29:07
  is. They just want to cry.
• 29:09
  Yeah. That's it. Well, yeah, they want to virtue signal and appear,
• 29:13
  you know, great to their friends in these echo chambers within social media.
• 29:17
  And it's pathetic, actually.
• 29:19
  Well, listen to you, echo chambers of social media. Wow. Listen to you being all fucking.
• 29:25
  Well, it's not a sin. It's just a sad reflection of the world today.
• 29:28
  Where an actor gets serious abuse and threats for playing a fictional character in a fictional film.
• 29:35
  But yes, this has always been a thing, but it's heightened now with social media.
• 29:41
  Registers to Praetorian Jack, my favorite character in the film.
• 29:46
  Very, very, a very cool character. Very protective of Furiosa.
• 29:51
  He's technically, and this is what I think he was written in,
• 29:55
  because technically, he'd be the Mad Max of the film. Totally, 100% agree.
• 29:59
  So I think that's why he's here. And I almost wish...
• 30:07
  I almost wish that this was Mad Max and they had brought Tom Hardy back and
• 30:13
  that's why there's tension between him,
• 30:16
  but they never planted that in Fury Road so they couldn't do it,
• 30:19
  but they could have kind of planted that seed where that's why there's tension
• 30:23
  between them and Fury Road because he has history.
• 30:24
  He's basically a Max Standen and he's a very likable character.
• 30:28
  It is, but he does a great job and I do like the character and his demise is fucking soul
• 30:35
  -destroying fucking soul-destroying again not
• 30:39
  showing anything gratuitous but you don't need
• 30:42
  to you still close your eyes well it's even more tragic because
• 30:45
  him and although they haven't got it
• 30:48
  on so to speak but him and furiosa have decided
• 30:51
  they're going to go to the green place together you know
• 30:54
  she's finally come out of her shell to him you know
• 30:57
  and he's basically mentored her you know and kept her
• 31:00
  right you know because she was you know she was
• 31:03
  quite immature and that you know she wanted to do all alone
• 31:06
  and stuff but he was the wise mentoring type
• 31:08
  character you know and yeah it's a brutally tragic
• 31:12
  death for him you know it is
• 31:15
  now their first outing with the new rig the rig's badass all fucking chrome
• 31:21
  and shiny and this is where you're talking about the splinter group the mortar
• 31:26
  fire uh from dementis yeah they come they come after him and this whole sequence is just so fun.
• 31:35
  And it's just these motorcycles that turn into paraglides and it's whoever thinks
• 31:42
  of this shit and then you have this thing called the Bobby Knocker and Octoboss gets sucked into it.
• 31:48
  I really liked that. I'm so sad he died.
• 31:53
  The wee guy, the war boy who obviously suffers.
• 31:57
  The Bobby Knocker guy, the guy who controls the Bobby Knocker.
• 31:59
  He obviously suffers from dwarfism, but he's basically tasked with looking after
• 32:04
  the cabbages beside the bobby knocker.
• 32:08
  You know what, though? It's funny you bring him up. There's a story behind that
• 32:12
  kid. He's a kid, by the way.
• 32:15
  So he was on, he's been bullied his whole life, sadly. In real life.
• 32:19
  Because the scumbags around him in real life. So he went on social media,
• 32:23
  and it's on Facebook. You can watch it. It's on YouTube.
• 32:26
  And he begged people to stop hurting him. He just wants a friend.
• 32:30
  It's the most soul-destroying thing you can watch a child go through.
• 32:36
  And I'm not sure of his age. I don't want to misspeak there,
• 32:39
  but you felt so sorry for him because he does have some kind of dwarfism or whatever it is.
• 32:44
  Again, I don't want to misspeak. And George Miller saw that because he's Australian,
• 32:48
  I believe, or New Zealand, I'm not sure.
• 32:50
  But George Miller cast him because of that. I thought that was fucking awesome.
• 32:53
  No, I mean, again, that goes back to the social media bullying and stuff.
• 32:59
  Very possibly this kid was bullied in real life as well, just awful.
• 33:04
  But good on George Miller. Well, that's what he said.
• 33:07
  Yeah, that's why he was on. But that's a good thing about social media.
• 33:10
  He went on there as a platform.
• 33:13
  And so it's kind of a double-edged sword with social media really, isn't it?
• 33:17
  But yeah, this whole sequence, again, you kind of got to see yourself.
• 33:22
  But again, cooler, you know, and I just love when Akbar's getting sucked in
• 33:26
  and the poor guy gets shot in the head.
• 33:28
  You don't see it, but sadly, it's Furioso who has to turn on the Bobby knocker.
• 33:32
  And what's just great right as well is
• 33:36
  furiosa at this point is reckless and
• 33:39
  she makes mistakes and you can you can see it you know with some um but it's
• 33:43
  the wiser um older sort of more sort of experienced hand of a praetorian jack
• 33:50
  who then begins sort of mentoring her and showing her are the right way.
• 33:54
  So yeah, poorly written.
• 33:57
  Now I found out what, I had to look it up.
• 34:02
  So Furiosa starts emulating Jack and they put it, they take an oil slick and
• 34:08
  they put it over their eyes.
• 34:10
  And the reason they do that, it's they represent a symbol of authority.
• 34:17
  So anybody, that's how they mark themselves.
• 34:21
  I knew it represented something, but that just didn't know what,
• 34:24
  but yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, that's what it means.
• 34:28
  So if they're coming into a town, whether it's Gas Town or Bullet Town,
• 34:32
  they know right away that these are the guys we talked to. Yeah.
• 34:36
  And that's why Furiosa and Fury Road still has it to this day. Yeah.
• 34:43
  I like the – it's funny because – how do I put this?
• 34:48
  The Citadel, yeah, they're scumbags, but they're trying to make a way of life.
• 34:53
  And I'm not condoning it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to – I'm not –
• 34:57
  but they're not like causing – they're not doing genocide or anything like that.
• 35:01
  They're just trying to adapt, whether it's the wrong way.
• 35:06
  Because when you see Bullet Town, and you mentioned with Gas Town,
• 35:09
  how civil it was when you met the guy who controls Gas Town,
• 35:13
  He was doing art. And Morton Joe's brother?
• 35:16
  Painting a Michelangelo or something. That's Morton Joe's brother?
• 35:18
  And yes, Morton Joe's brother. And then you have Bullet Town and this guy's
• 35:24
  just going, listen, we've got a problem.
• 35:27
  This is Gastown. This guy's a joker. This guy needs to go.
• 35:31
  I expect a brilliant writing by Miller because it's a case of the best villains
• 35:37
  is where they have reasons for being villains.
• 35:41
  Do you know what I mean? And in their eyes, they're not the
• 35:44
  villains they're trying to make a better world like a morton joe at
• 35:47
  the citadel the madness is just nuts and
• 35:50
  he's just a bit of a loose cannon to say the least but
• 35:53
  with a morton joe and stuff there's more of a sort of he's more methodical and
• 35:57
  there's there's a method to his madness and that he thinks he's making the world
• 36:01
  the wasteland a better place and technically in ways he is especially compared
• 36:06
  to the mentis so yeah you know i i would sort of certainly back Back that up, what you're saying?
• 36:13
  And it goes also to how smart they can be.
• 36:18
  So when Morton Joe is getting the information back from what his brother sent,
• 36:25
  not his brother, but from the Bullet Town leader, Bullet Farm leader,
• 36:29
  he goes, go back there and you're going to go back to Bullet Farm,
• 36:33
  no oil, but fill bullets, ammo, and then we're going to take Dementus out.
• 36:39
  Because when they go back to Dementus again, Again, the whole,
• 36:43
  it's all wreaked havoc. It's fucking batshit crazy.
• 36:47
  It's literally demented. It's literally demented. Yeah, he's,
• 36:51
  it's, they're all, he's like a fucking violent child, you know,
• 36:56
  throwing his, you know, his boys out of the pram at this point.
• 36:59
  He's lost complete control.
• 37:00
  And yeah, it's just brilliantly realized just in sort of every department, you know.
• 37:09
  Because they go back, Dementis gives him a message then, go to Immortan Joe
• 37:14
  and tell him I want a new deal in three days at noon.
• 37:18
  And Immortan Joe was like, no, fill this tank with bullets. We're taking this
• 37:22
  fucker out now. We're done. Had enough of his shit, basically.
• 37:26
  Yeah, at this point. I think at this point, too, they're tired of the threats from Dementis.
• 37:30
  And I think what they're thinking is if he's already lost control of his men,
• 37:35
  And there's no way he's going to be, you know, we'd be able to take him down easily.
• 37:39
  He's not the threat we thought he was, I guess he could say.
• 37:41
  Yeah. And if he can't even control his own man, you know, he has absolutely
• 37:45
  no hope of controlling one of these communities like Gastown, you know.
• 37:50
  When Jack, they're heading back to the bullet farm,
• 37:54
  he stops the truck and he gets Furiosa out of the truck and he goes,
• 37:58
  no, no, Furiosa, you take this car with the two bikes,
• 38:02
  you drive behind us and i'm making you
• 38:05
  warrior boy you're gonna be in front of the truck you drive and
• 38:08
  if you're also didn't understand this i did he he
• 38:11
  was giving her a way out he also he was giving her the car he was giving her
• 38:16
  the bikes get the fuck out of here get out of here now she doesn't she follows
• 38:20
  with him to bullet town but that's what he was trying to do i had a slightly
• 38:24
  different take on it and that i i thought that jack knew that they were going
• 38:29
  to go for the ones up front
• 38:30
  first so he was actually spurring her sacrificing war
• 38:34
  boys for um for her you know
• 38:37
  that's why he brings the war boy up to the front instead
• 38:39
  where it's because he knows that whenever they attack they're going to go for
• 38:44
  basically the war rig right at the front of it so if he keeps her on the sidelines
• 38:49
  she would have more of a chance of surviving so he was basically putting her
• 38:53
  life above the war boy that he brings up front yeah i do think though he wanted oh yeah Yeah,
• 38:59
  yeah, he was governor of the option as well. That was his way of saying that.
• 39:04
  But this whole ambushing is fucking intense. Yeah. What a wonderful ambushing. I mean.
• 39:11
  It's going to show how badass Jack is when Furiosa decides to snipe at Dementors and he's on that tower.
• 39:19
  And all fucking Jack does is just fucking crash into it to bring it down.
• 39:24
  It's just incredible action scenes.
• 39:28
  And also, you go to see how much of our self-serving Dementors is,
• 39:32
  where he's throwing his own right-hand man in front of him, and Furiosa's shooting
• 39:36
  him in the face instead, just so he can see who it is that's actually shooting
• 39:41
  at him. You know, he's ruthless.
• 39:43
  Well, yeah, he did the same thing with Octobot. Yeah, he's ruthless. Yep.
• 39:48
  So sadly, now, before this all kicks off, he fires that green flare.
• 39:55
  And I had looked that up. That was, he was telling her to go.
• 40:00
  He was telling Furiosa, get out of here. The green, it means go.
• 40:05
  And that's what he was trying to tell Furiosa when he shot the green flare.
• 40:08
  Flare because these those flares mean different colors
• 40:11
  we kind of talked about that in fury road but green
• 40:14
  means go and that's what he was trying to tell yes but she
• 40:18
  obviously doesn't she decides to help him and when they get caught
• 40:21
  fucking worth seeing the film tragic she
• 40:24
  loses her arm which has the tattoo over the
• 40:27
  young places and he gets dragged
• 40:30
  around in circles we don't see it they kind of
• 40:33
  they pull away but again dementias is
• 40:36
  so power stricken and so egomaniac
• 40:40
  that he doesn't realize all the
• 40:43
  dust that's going around and them killing jack furiosa tears
• 40:47
  off her own arm because he was hanging anyway after the
• 40:50
  accident it is a little bit of a sort of
• 40:53
  a film cliche and a bit of a cheat where
• 40:56
  it's like you spur someone to tell you their
• 40:59
  evil plan and named james bond films are well known for it
• 41:01
  but what how they get away with it is
• 41:04
  because it's so well realized so we basically say to uh furiosa that he wants
• 41:09
  her to watch jack being tortured and killed but then while basically he's doing
• 41:15
  this they're doing that like you say with all the dust and stuff she's forging
• 41:18
  her escape plan which is basically ripping off her own arm and.
• 41:23
  Yeah, but they planted that seed.
• 41:26
  I mean, even from the beginning, when he made Furiosa look at her mother's death
• 41:33
  and then the bicyclist fighting for a bike and making her watch this, that's his nature.
• 41:39
  That's what he does to her. So he does it again, this time to Jack,
• 41:43
  another loved one that she was falling for, like her mother.
• 41:46
  So that's standard play. And then we talked about how he's, he's,
• 41:52
  again, he, we talked about how he's, he's not very good at what he does.
• 41:57
  So yeah, he gives her the whole spiel, but he, he, he's so blinded by his ignorance
• 42:02
  that she's just going, I'm just going to escape here.
• 42:04
  So those seeds are all kind of pre-planted for her to be able to make this escape.
• 42:08
  Hence the reason why, why she's.
• 42:10
  It doesn't become that roll your eyes moment. It becomes more believable.
• 42:14
  Because it's George Miller basically behind it and he knows exactly what he's doing.
• 42:19
  So even whenever there are little cheats that have to happen for the sake of
• 42:22
  the plot and the story, he will make them work due to, you know,
• 42:27
  planting these seeds earlier on and actually make them make sense.
• 42:31
  Whereas some films are just like, don't give a shit. You know what I mean?
• 42:34
  Yeah, there's a difference between a cheat and this. This is,
• 42:39
  I don't like to cheat. They planted the seed.
• 42:41
  Yeah. It connects the dots. That's because Miller's a professional filmmaker.
• 42:45
  Yeah, this is where we see George Miller.
• 42:49
  Oh, George Miller. Fuck. There's George Miller.
• 42:51
  He's in it. Hi, guys. You didn't see it.
• 42:54
  Got it. Tongue tied. This is where we see Mad Max sitting on the cliff.
• 42:59
  And he's the one who takes her to the Citadel. Yes. And leaves her there.
• 43:06
  And so there you go. Well, there's Mad Max can't be only one.
• 43:10
  But it's important to the plot because he saves her life. You know, if, yeah.
• 43:14
  And I thought it was a good scene where you see him eating the dog food and
• 43:17
  stuff and you see the Interceptor, love the Interceptor.
• 43:20
  And it always, you know, it always makes me sad when I see the Interceptor destroyed
• 43:25
  in, well, a lot of the Mad Max films.
• 43:28
  Coolest car in film history. Don't care what anyone says. And yeah,
• 43:32
  it's nice to see him, but I would have liked to see, obviously,
• 43:35
  so much more of him. but we didn't get that.
• 43:40
  We get this narrator who's the, when she's plotting her revenge after she's
• 43:47
  back at the Citadel and the narrator talks about, and that's pretty much the
• 43:52
  history of Anne Boleyn's narrator.
• 43:53
  Yes, yes. He talks about how this all became of a 40-day waste and war.
• 43:59
  There have always been wars. How this kind of came about. Yeah,
• 44:01
  brilliant speech. Yeah.
• 44:03
  Yeah, but the one line that is important is everything in this world became
• 44:09
  eye for an eye, teeth for a teeth.
• 44:12
  And this is how, and as he says this, we see Vioriosep, you know,
• 44:20
  getting her arm, the mechanical arm on, she's getting ready for her eye for an eye moment.
• 44:26
  It's a great speech by the history master. So, yeah, we get some revenge sequences
• 44:32
  here, some of the characters, which is fine. It's pretty fun.
• 44:36
  And then we meet Dementus. I'm kind of broken up a little bit with Dementus.
• 44:41
  The narrator kind of tells you what happened.
• 44:45
  Obviously, she has a chance to kill him right there and then.
• 44:48
  And the narrator says, the story is, we don't know if she left him for dead.
• 44:54
  Did she shoot him right there and then? But the narrator kind of clarifies what
• 44:58
  I did hear and what I was told,
• 45:01
  that he was planted among this tree and all these, I think it's silly,
• 45:07
  to be honest with you. To me, it totally works, and I'll tell you why.
• 45:10
  Because there is a sort of, within all of the Mad Max films,
• 45:14
  there's sort of a Tales by the Campfire, or Tales of the Wasteland,
• 45:19
  field of them all, where it's all sort of a myth and legend mixed with what really happened.
• 45:25
  I certainly get that feel from all of them, ties back into the whole Western thing, you know.
• 45:30
  So I like that there's all, like, the whole Chinese whispers type of,
• 45:34
  you know, half-fury, which is a great scene, Great Head to Head by Taylor Joy and.
• 45:40
  What do you call it then, Dementus at the very end, you know,
• 45:43
  where he's telling her about, you're going to become me. Yes,
• 45:45
  it's a basic revenge story ultimately.
• 45:48
  But no, no, that makes sense with the whole Chinese whispers about what really
• 45:51
  happened. What did she do to him? Did she crucify him like he did with her mother?
• 45:55
  And then he says, but actually the history man says, and Furiosa told me this
• 45:59
  herself, it's pretty much horror.
• 46:03
  You know, this stuff with the tree. And yes, it is a bit cheesy and a bit sort
• 46:08
  of horror cheesy, easy, but I like it.
• 46:10
  Again, it's down to personal tastes. I like crazy shit like that.
• 46:14
  You like it because there's a naked old man underneath the tree.
• 46:18
  You were going to say that? Yep.
• 46:20
  It's all the way back to your fucking horror crap.
• 46:24
  Whenever I see on the trail, it's like, whoa. No, we took one.
• 46:28
  But no, it's real. It works for me. Yes!
• 46:32
  I'm not just... But do you see where she planted them? Yeah,
• 46:36
  it's up at the top of the citadel.
• 46:39
  You know, but she planted them where her and Jack bonded for the first time
• 46:43
  when they put their heads together.
• 46:44
  I love the touch as well, how there's actual fruit grows from the tree.
• 46:50
  And you see the breeders, you know, she's given it to the breeders and stuff.
• 46:53
  They're actually the fruit that's come from the business.
• 46:56
  It's again, more cannibalism. Yeah, because she needs, well,
• 47:00
  what she needs to do is give them nutrients because then the next scene,
• 47:04
  she's getting them out of there. and then we cut to the credits and then we
• 47:10
  see Fury Road. I love the credits.
• 47:11
  I love how it's that condensed Fury Road and the credits with that superb score really effective.
• 47:18
  And you see Nox again. I love Nox. I hope people catch on and it finds a footing
• 47:25
  and we can get a conclusion of Furiosa and Max together. That'd be kind of neat.
• 47:30
  I'd like to see that. But again, we never know. You never know.
• 47:34
  But guys, this is an end for our Mad Max retrospective. Where would you rate them? In order.
• 47:41
  Road Warrior, Fury Road, Furiosa, Mad Max, and I don't rate Beyond Thunderdome
• 47:49
  because it's shit. Well, I would rate them in order.
• 47:51
  I think the best one is Beyond Thunderdome. No, I'm only joking.
• 47:54
  No, I would rate them, Road Warrior, the original Mad Max 1.
• 48:01
  Then Fury Road, then Furiosa, then last, Beyond Thunderdome.
• 48:06
  Yeah, see, Max, I think Max is too, yeah, I like Max. It's tough. They're all good.
• 48:13
  They all tell a great story, but I just think I like the characters in Furiosa
• 48:18
  because a lot of them carried over from Fury Road so I had that stability of knowing them.
• 48:25
  To be honest the first two, the original and Road Warrior probably a bit of
• 48:31
  nostalgia there with me as well but yeah so it would be 2, 1 then Fury Road,
• 48:37
  Furiosa and Beyond Thunderdome for me.
• 48:41
  Now Fury Road it almost came first. I was so tempted to say,
• 48:45
  okay, I might have misspoke.
• 48:46
  It's not as good as World Warrior, but I don't know.
• 48:50
  You know, my bad guys, my favorite bad guys come from the World Warrior,
• 48:54
  so I guess... Humongous and Waze?
• 48:56
  Yeah. By the way, I thought... Running Wails. The start of Furiosa when we were
• 49:01
  talking about the mother with the slingshot weapon, I felt that that weapon
• 49:06
  was very similar to Waze's,
• 49:08
  you know, arrow-y thing, so a reference possibly who knows.
• 49:14
  But he had a spear gun. I know, but it's similar. It's like a wee sort of tiny sort of thing.
• 49:17
  No, he had what they call a born arrow gun. But it was small,
• 49:20
  so it was almost like a slingshot. I don't know.
• 49:23
  No. Okay. Another really rare reference there by Trevor. We got to get that
• 49:28
  in. Check it out the other way, folks.
• 49:29
