Hello, and welcome to the art of costume blogcast.

Hello. Welcome to our birthday party.
1:06
I know it's been one whole year. Wait, I thought this was my
1:09
birthday party. That was last week.
1:11
Just kidding. No more dinos.
1:15
Come on. Yeah, that's over Chloe.
1:18
Okay. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's
1:20
been a whole year. Do you remember when we all got
1:23
together? And we're kind of talking about
1:25
this, like over a year ago, I do have just seemed a little crazy.
1:29
I was back. When you guys first recorded
1:31
Cruella and Captain America, and Elizabeth the way we could edit
1:37
it ourselves. We gave it a fair shot.
1:40
You did you, did we tried the results were rough?
1:47
You needed a professional touch and we also went to Khloe.
1:52
We're like, help us sweetheart. Yeah.
1:56
Spencer was a horrible client. Well, I'm sure he was just Made
2:02
the art of costume logo along time ago.
2:06
Yeah, right. It was probably like two or
2:07
three years ago, I remember. Yes, it's me right?
2:10
When the pandemic started actually.
2:12
Yeah, but it was super fun because it was like you already
2:16
had kind of like an idea of what you wanted, but also like kind
2:19
of, let me just go with it. So yeah, it was fun to adapt it
2:23
for the podcast. It's definitely like the coolest
2:26
logo of all time. I'll definitely die by that.
2:28
You say so myself? Elf, yes, Elizabeth.
2:33
It's now been a year. What has been your favorite
2:37
episode? If you had to pick one or two?
2:39
Oh my gosh, that's a really stressful question.
2:41
Spencer. Uh-huh.
2:45
I don't know. I really liked our Crimson Peak
2:47
episode. That was a really fun one.
2:50
A lot of our spooky season ones were fun.
2:53
Yeah, I love every episode that has to do with anything scary
2:57
including Twilight. I still consider that a Her film
3:00
right Chloe. Yeah, I mean, maybe it's biased
3:05
but I thought the guests on that were hilarious.
3:11
Absolutely. Absolutely gotten rave reviews
3:14
from family members that listen to it.
3:17
They're saying they were living it up funniest episode on the
3:22
art of cost in blogcast Twilight, we're gonna have to do
3:26
a new moon in the new year or something.
3:29
I think so, So I don't worry, I already have plans, give the
3:32
fans what they want. I'm already thinking about
3:35
season season 3, Daniel, what's been your favorite episode since
3:40
you do? Listen to all of them, even if
3:42
it's against your will, I'm biased actually have to, if I'm
3:46
being honest, one is the one I was on, for Galaxy Quest, of
3:53
course, yes, we need your home one because I got to be on it,
3:59
but Too, because I got to see like, what you guys do.
4:04
Mmm. So like all the research stuff
4:06
was pretty fun to actually be a part of whoo.
4:08
And then my second one is actually the alien episode.
4:14
Well, that is a good one. That is a good one.
4:17
So many things that I had knew nothing about having watched the
4:22
movie like 20 times already. Yeah, I mean not to be biased
4:26
against that one too but I love that.
4:29
Chocolate details on that one. I love Elizabeth's rant in that
4:33
episode. Oh yeah, that is that's one of
4:36
my better rants. That's one of my better rants.
4:39
I love Elizabeth friend. We need to do a real just a
4:41
Lizabeth rants. I'm on it.
4:46
My favorite episode, I think if I had to pick just one, it was
4:50
either the Dune episode because I mean I just love that movie so
4:54
much and Elizabeth really opened my eyes to like this whole new
4:58
Sci-Fi World diamond. Wing.
5:00
Yeah even got the book. Yeah.
5:02
I got the book how it read it in a couple of weeks going with
5:05
that. It's a yeah it's a coming along
5:08
very slowly but it's coming along and I loved just some of
5:14
her interviews like the what we do in the shadows interview
5:17
really was like that was like a big moment for me because I love
5:21
that show. Love the costume designer.
5:23
So that was really fun to share that with everyone on a podcast,
5:26
all of our interviews have been really Stellar.
5:28
I'm like so happy How all of those have come out, right?
5:32
I think we're going to have to do like a Space Jam part to one
5:36
day just for funsies, just for funsies.
5:40
It's a Justice. It deserves.
5:42
Yeah. Yes.
5:45
I was going to say one of my other favorite episodes was, I
5:48
remember when you first started out, you interviewed the costume
5:53
designer for mayor of East Town, and I had just watched that show
5:57
and I loved it so much. It was like, so, Interesting to
6:00
hear her speak on it so I love that one to Meghan.
6:04
Casper lick became like a good friend, a podcast after that and
6:08
came back and did Moon night with us.
6:09
And yeah, I'm sure she'll be back for whatever she's doing
6:12
next. I'll so I love those.
6:15
She's amazing, she's amazing. I've this is with so much fun
6:20
and we just have like a whole other year or 5 or 10 more years
6:25
of just so many more episodes coming.
6:26
Obviously film and TV never stops and so Those amazing
6:30
costume designing, I feel like it's getting better and better.
6:33
So I just think that we should just take a moment and cheers to

8:56
Blogcast, I moved with joy glass and I am Warrior imperator
9:00
Spencer Williams. I was a mouthful was a mouthful.
9:08
Spencer. How are you?
9:10
How you doing? I'm doing Okay.
9:12
How the hell are you Elizabeth? I am fine.
9:15
It's our anniversary episode. So I'm working out but it
9:18
doesn't history of the soda and that case I'm actually kind of
9:21
tastic now that you reminded me of like yes we did.
9:26
We did, it's been a whole year. I mean, we just celebrate with
9:30
Daniel and Chloe, but you know, I'm just so happy to be here.
9:35
I do have some bad news though. Elizabeth what I might have
9:40
gotten to a really A bad habit, I'm afraid to share with you.
9:45
Hey, I started playing The Sims again.
9:48
I was playing this since last night.
9:53
Well, addicting and staking my life over again.
9:56
I just can't put it down. I know that an animal crossing
10:00
really have my attention currently.
10:02
That's one of the reasons I was late for our recording watching
10:07
because now I'm obsessed with the new Star Trek show.
10:10
So I was watching Star Trek. Discovery and playing Animal
10:13
Crossing was like, oh, I have like 30 minutes to get ready.
10:18
Yeah, I mean, I started getting ready 30 minutes before too, and
10:21
that's kind of my thing. It's really start getting ready
10:24
earlier. But yeah, I just like, I'll be
10:26
at work or will be working on podcast stuff.
10:29
And I'm just like, I wish I was playing The Sims right now, I
10:31
wonder how my Sims are doing. I don't want to play this enemy
10:34
and then I spent hours, building stuff, crane characters, and
10:37
then I get too exhausted. And I don't even play and I'll
10:41
Through this phase. It's coming.
10:43
I feel it. Yeah, I'm like wondering when
10:46
they're going to make a new Sims because I feel like this sense
10:49
is going for a like a long time. Yeah, I don't know.
10:54
They're still cranking out expansion packs.
10:56
Yeah. Because this is what there were
10:58
on Sims 4, right. Yeah.
11:00
I really like Sims 4. However, I miss like there was a
11:06
lot more options to like modify stuff in the previous versions.
11:11
73, which is the only one, the only other one I owned and
11:14
played extensively. So like I want to get back to
11:17
that. My Sims 4 is heavily modded
11:21
Minds to do. You have like and all that,
11:31
okay, Daniel, please cut that part out my mother listens to
11:39
the being dead serious anyway, aside from my sins and Animal
11:51
Crossing Obsession. I really just got back into Star
11:55
Trek, like more than ever before.
11:58
I'm so happy for you. I'm so glad like I wasn't
12:03
expecting it and then, yeah, I guess it'll be out by the time
12:06
this episode comes. I did an interview with the Star
12:11
Trek. Strange, new worlds with costume
12:14
designer Bernadette Croft, so I had to watch strange new worlds,
12:18
which is still like it's a weekly series.
12:21
So it's still the first season still ongoing, but it hooked me.
12:26
And then it was like, oh this is a because I felt like I was
12:28
missing something and I was like oh this is a spin-off of Star
12:32
Trek Discovery. And I was like, well now I gotta
12:34
go watch Star Trek Discovery and like Michelle yo-yos in it, like
12:41
Doug Jenkins. Jones.
12:43
All these amazing people. I know like, already know, and
12:45
I'm like, well, now I have to watch four seasons of this.
12:48
What am I going to do? That's so perfect.
12:52
I just love how, you know, Elizabeth and I do love these
12:55
interviews for the blog and podcast, like sometimes you'll
12:58
get request and they'll be like shows, you never heard of and
13:02
sometimes you'd be hesitant but then he get into it and he like,
13:05
absolutely love it. Yeah, for example, I just binged
13:09
in 40 hours two seasons of hacks.
13:12
And it's like my new favorite show.
13:14
I cannot wait to like talk to the costume designer about its
13:18
oh good. I was blessed with it.
13:20
I am going to I'm a to watch that one too because it looked
13:23
it looked interesting. When you said we got that
13:26
request I was like, huh, wonder what this is about because
13:29
there's a million to shows now, right?
13:31
I'm like I'm kind of glad I heard because of their financial
13:35
issues. Netflix has like cut a bunch of
13:37
Productions. I don't like low-key relieved
13:40
because I like I can only watch so many shows that one time.
13:45
This is like it's enough. I'm done.
13:48
No, no I was talking about this with my brother cuz we were
13:51
talking about Netflix and their current struggles which
13:55
understandable and you know, and I was like, you know, they
13:58
really need to stick to the they're like, really high budget
14:01
shows. Yeah, they need to stick to like
14:04
the stranger things, the witcher's, the bridge or Tim's,
14:09
with the Bridger Tans, like, stick to those Those and then
14:12
they're really like low-budget cheesy Christmas movies and
14:16
documentaries. You said, don't you dare touch
14:19
the Christmas movies. Well, they make equal to R worse
14:24
than Hallmark Christmas movies and I am here for it because
14:29
they're filled with like, be list actors.
14:32
Yeah, so it's like it's people you recognize but that aren't
14:34
like, super famous and it's hilarious.
14:38
I want some as long as they use the holiday model because I was
14:41
like, Right, right. Well, speaking of the holidays,
14:46
we have a crazy feeling to get into.
14:48
Oh gosh. Oh gosh.
14:51
Like everybody else week and honor of our one-year
14:57
anniversary. We watched the Academy Award
15:01
winner for costume design. Mad Max Fury Road.
15:07
Yeah, I was kidding. This had nothing to do with the
15:10
holidays. I questioned that statement and
15:14
I was like, well, maybe he'll like bring it around and I was
15:16
like he's not freaking that around know.
15:19
This movie is absolute, batshit crazy.
15:23
It is it really is and because I was talking about it with my
15:27
brother because this one, a ton of Academy Awards.
15:33
Yeah, but it did not win best picture and okay, okay.
15:39
I feel like we should have our own Awards.
15:42
Someday. No, I agree because it one like
15:46
best cinematography like all it one like a bunch of technical
15:50
achievements and but it did it lost to some the globe, I think.
15:59
Hmm. Are you looking it up?
16:00
Yeah I'm looking it up. It's like either the globe or
16:03
The Big Short which are very similar movie.
16:06
So I know it 12 a film, I mean it lost a film called Spotlight,
16:12
which I don't wait wasn't even nominated for best picture.
16:16
Looks like it was. Yeah, it was, it was The Big
16:20
Short, Bridge of spies Brooklyn Mad, Max Fury Road, the Martian,
16:25
the Revenant room and Spotlight, okay?
16:27
I don't remember any of this do I?
16:31
However, we were looking at, like, all the Academy Awards at
16:33
one and I was like, and yet it lost to Spotlight, which
16:37
excellent movie of what I haven't watched.
16:39
The whole thing. I've seen a little bit of it, V
16:42
nothing wrong with it, but it should be whoever by the end of
16:46
the night, has the most Academy Awards and all of its other
16:51
technical achievements should be winning.
16:54
Best picture, right? If you've been winning all night
16:58
long, you should wrap the night up with just one final.
17:02
Yeah. Like, you should take best
17:04
picture. It's like, I'm like, we found
17:07
the flaw in the system. Well, shocking to know one
17:11
though. Jenny beavan, walked away with
17:13
an Oscar award win that year. We started this podcast, our
17:18
first episode was karela which she just want to Oscar for that,
17:22
so made 100% sense that we did our anniversary.
17:25
Episode with another Jenny, beavan Oscar win, take it away.
17:29
Elizabeth absolutely Spencer. Before I take it away, do you
17:33
want to start us with a summary? Oh, yeah, I'll take it back
17:36
away. I'll take it away for you,
17:38
taking it away years after. Collapse of civilization, the
17:44
tyrannical immortan, Joe and slaves, apocalypse survivors,
17:48
inside the desert Fortress, The Citadel, when a warrior
17:52
imperator furiosa leads the despots five, wives in a daring
17:55
Escape. She forges an alliance of Max, a
17:58
loner, and former captive fortified in a massive, armored
18:02
truck, the war rig. They try to outrun a ruthless
18:05
warlord and his henchmen, and a deadly high speed, chase through
18:09
the Wasteland. And that is Mad.
18:10
Max Fury Road. Road.
18:12
That is Mad Max Fury Road. If you have not seen it, watch
18:16
it at your own discretion. Like there were some parts like
18:24
this whole movie should just have a trigger warning.
18:27
It's like it was. I haven't seen this movie since,
18:30
like, the first time, and I couldn't remember.
18:32
I was like, man. I remember liking that movie, I
18:34
remember why I haven't seen it then because it's just like
18:36
non-stop anxiety for meeting with me.
18:39
Yes, I'm pretty sure has an R rating.
18:42
No, it has to like take take that at its fullest warning, as
18:49
to whether or not you should watch this.
18:52
And then whether or not you decide to watch Mad Max Fury
18:55
Road, come with me behind the Wardrobe.
18:57
We have director, George Miller, and costume designer, Jenny
19:01
beavan, as previously stated her notable works, are A Room With a
19:07
View for which she won her first Oscar Howards.
19:11
End, Other Oscar nomination, the 1995 Sense, and Sensibility,
19:16
Oscar nomination. Ever After A Cinderella Story,
19:19
which we did a very fun episode on.
19:21
Yeah, 1999 s Anna and the King another Oscar nomination Gosford
19:27
Park, another Oscar nomination, which I set this before.
19:31
We need to do an episode Onyx. I've no idea what that movie is,
19:34
but it always comes up as a notable work of her, whose okay?
19:38
So I feel like we just need to see what this is about.
19:41
Write that down, write that down, Daniel, Alexander Sherlock
19:47
Holmes, and its sequel, A Game of Shadows, The King's Speech,
19:50
Oscar nomination, The Nutcracker, and the four Realms.
19:54
And, lastly, but certainly not least, Cruella for which she won
19:59
this year's Oscar, and just so you, you know, Elizabeth she's
20:04
currently working on. I think it's a prequel furiosa.
20:08
So she's working on the next Mad Max film.
20:11
Film prequel sequel. That is exciting.
20:15
Because I want to understand furiosa.
20:17
Yeah, because I didn't. So, I find that exciting, but it
20:23
was really interesting in there. Weren't a ton of interviews she
20:29
did for this movie, She's a couple really good ones, but I
20:33
don't know. There was a whole controversy
20:36
about what she wore to the Oscars and I feel like that kind
20:39
of overshadowed Actual when and there were like, shockingly, not
20:45
a ton of articles about this or interviews with her.
20:49
So interesting, but in her Vanity Fair article, the
20:55
interviewer asked her like, who she designs costumes for and she
21:00
said to them. I've never been asked that
21:02
before. I think I do it for the director
21:04
and for the film. I'm a Storyteller with clothes,
21:08
and I just try and do the best job to support.
21:11
The actor for the director and the film.
21:15
I don't think of the audience, which I'm like, that's very
21:19
true. Like, you are doing Ava,
21:24
costumes, are you doing what the director wants?
21:27
So, that makes a lot of sense. It's like, no, like you can't
21:29
really think about what the audience is gonna take from
21:33
this. You just gotta make sure the the
21:36
director is Vision, it comes across.
21:40
Yeah, I mean that guy. That could be taken in a lot of
21:43
different ways. It's like a one hand.
21:45
You're like, yeah, you are cream this for the director.
21:47
I think most importantly like the film and the story like,
21:50
yeah, you're staying true to the story.
21:52
And just really bring it to life, but then I'll their hand.
21:55
I would think like, Oh, by muscle thinking of the audience
21:58
perspective and just like what they take away from the
22:01
costumes, not really like how they will perceive it or if
22:04
they'll like it or hate it but like how the costumes make them
22:08
feel? Yeah, I don't know.
22:10
It's an interesting quote. I'm going to be pondering for
22:12
the rest of the very interesting quote, which and I just thought
22:17
it, I thought it was funny because like one of the student
22:21
films I worked on, I ended up just being like so long.
22:25
As my director is happy like the costumes are what they are.
22:31
So I do you think we get what she was saying?
22:36
But she in all of these interviews, She has a lot of
22:40
questions about this being, you know, like a futuristic film,
22:43
because she's very known for her period work.
22:46
Particularly like a Jane Austen look that she was exclusively
22:51
known for up to this point, like she was known for her period
22:55
pieces. She said to deadline about
22:58
doing, you know, a futuristic film.
23:00
She said, I've always thought I'd love the idea of doing
23:04
something futuristic Space Age and I love the Deep pass as
23:09
well, but this is Almost the perfect vehicle because it's
23:12
such an extraordinary Vision out of George's head.
23:15
And I'll say George has a very strong ideas and he's worked
23:21
from this graphic novel with Brenda McCarthy and it was still
23:27
a real opportunity to do something.
23:29
Completely off the wall, it was particularly brilliant
23:33
opportunity for someone like me who was looking for a new route,
23:37
a new world really. So she was Jake.
23:40
Yeah, this is nothing like what I've ever done before and like,
23:43
I'm here for it. I want to do something new and
23:45
special, and it's really a special, because it's a whole
23:49
like, it's a whole world, they're creating.
23:52
And she also said, with one, the interviewer with deadlines
23:56
brought this up that like, hey, you're like, creating a whole
23:58
new world. She said, you rightly say that
24:02
with each film you're creating a new world and this was simply a
24:05
very different world and by doing that in Namibia with With
24:10
a local crew of a lot of nambi ins, a lot of diverse versity
24:14
Heavens. They were all nabateans.
24:16
They're all black and very talented, organic leather,
24:19
makers. And what you have.
24:22
I think it's our costumes that are ganic.
24:24
Look, we would have really struggled to do an England or
24:28
Australia where you just have more film Savvy makers.
24:33
But you wouldn't have got some of the weird and wonderful
24:36
things so she's like, yeah, I'm making this new world.
24:40
He's like an, a very big part of that because Mad Max Fury Road
24:44
has a very unique look and she was like it was the local nambi
24:47
ins where they filmed it. She's like it was they're
24:50
Artisans and their Craftsmen and they're like unique.
24:54
Look at the world that made this film.
24:56
What it was that made it such a unique world and I love how she
25:00
just like, you know, gave all the credit to them because she
25:04
was like, we would not have gotten this done in a more
25:06
traditional setting. Yeah, seems like the people in
25:09
England and Australia, weren't ready to do Mad Max Fury Road
25:14
and I mean, you can really see like that.
25:16
Local Artisan, all the pieces in this film just felt really
25:19
unique and Nothing Was the Same, you know?
25:22
And this film solutely absolutely.
25:24
And she wasn't asked about kind of like the prep period for
25:30
this. In an article with Vanity Fair
25:34
she said this was an unusual one.
25:36
Absolutely each project is its own thing on the Kings.
25:40
Beach, I had five weeks from getting the job to the first day
25:44
of shooting this, we made everything.
25:47
And in fact we had all this stuff they'd made previously but
25:52
even more importantly we had all the junk they collected.
25:56
So apparently I wish I should have done a little bit more
26:01
research on like the Mad Max films in general because first
26:05
things first had no idea there were three Mad Max films did not
26:09
previously. Lee.
26:10
I think there's four now, actually.
26:13
I think this is a previous to this film.
26:16
Oh, right. Right.
26:17
Right. Yeah.
26:17
It was three, which I had no idea.
26:19
I thought there was like, one, maybe two.
26:22
I've never seen them. I don't know.
26:24
Oh my gosh. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome with
26:27
Tina Turner. Oh, that's a good one.
26:29
I love that. I will have to find them.
26:31
There's I think Mad, Max Road Warrior is on HBO.
26:36
Yeah, I've never seen a road warrior here, but I've seen the
26:39
first two. I have to find them and watch
26:41
them. But apparently, we're all the
26:44
previous ones films in Australia, I don't know for
26:48
sure, but I would say that's a safe bet, though.
26:51
Okay. They all kind of have like the
26:53
same landscape. So, I want to be surprised,
26:56
okay? Because like she was like,
26:58
apparently the production, I guess company.
27:02
Whoever owns Mad. Max has just been like,
27:05
collecting junk to use in Mad Max films.
27:14
She got from Australia about 200 boxes of junk.
27:21
She's a real like goggles bits of ammunition car parts.
27:26
Just stuff shit, there was Vellum.
27:30
They used to make masks. She's like, just all this stuff.
27:34
Just stuff, junk. Australia's like yo, Jenny.
27:38
We got something for you. We begin with two hundred boxes
27:41
of garbage right now. She was like, thanks thanks,
27:46
I'll just create an Oscar award-winning wardrobe with
27:49
that. Thank you.
27:53
And with that, we have our behind the Wardrobe backs and we
27:57
need to jump into this Spencer. Yeah, grab your steering wheels
28:02
from your pile of extra steering wheels and we have quite some
28:06
road to cover. So we do we do I love your hair.
28:10
Engines. Rev up your engines.
28:12
Try and grab some water and we'll be right back.

29:18
Elizabeth are you ready to hit the road?
29:20
And for good old Pals Max and furiosa.
29:23
I guess, so, I guess nobody has much of a choice, I guess.
29:29
So, let's talk about the movie. Max isn't slave by a group of
29:33
scavengers. From The Citadel led by the
29:36
immortan. Joe.
29:39
We have a scruffy Look in Mad, Max played by Tom Hardy, bro,
29:43
you look real scruffy. He looks so scruffy.
29:47
And I was confused because I was like, I've seen pictures from
29:51
this movie and he does not look like this.
29:54
So I thought this was a different character.
29:56
At first, it has confused. The first, I forgot about it,
30:01
but like, even the thing that's so impressive about this film
30:05
and I've, I've taught costume design workshops before.
30:10
And I always talk about like aging and dying and this film is
30:15
like the top of the top, the creme de La Creme of like aging
30:20
and dying. Just, it's really impressive to
30:22
just. Look at all the garments and
30:24
costumes in this film and see how they age all their costumes.
30:27
It's so brilliant. It's just such a harsh
30:30
environment and it takes a toll on every single costume and
30:34
that's what's so artistic and that's why she won the award was
30:38
her use of aging on. Her costumes.
30:41
Absolutely absolutely. Especially this first one.
30:44
It's so dirty and disgusting and it's falling apart.
30:49
I mean, it looks like he's been living in that busted up car
30:53
since the world ended because he has been living in that facet of
30:56
Carson's the world and but we get to the Citadel and meet just
31:03
a slew of concerning character. This is all very concerning
31:10
enough setting. It's gotta be human mechanic.
31:14
All those poor children with just white body paint and I make
31:20
up his like guards that have like the shaved heads with the
31:25
black makeup. I'm just like no wonder all
31:28
these poor people. Like follow him, this is
31:31
terrifying. There's so much happening.
31:34
I don't even want to talk about the one scene where we saw the
31:36
women who were producing. Yeah.
31:40
No, I purposefully left that out because I was like, we don't
31:46
need to talk about this. Hey, you can barely see them in
31:49
this film and be no. Thank you disgusting.
31:54
Also, disgusting. We have the immortan Joe played
31:57
by Hugh keays-byrne. This costume is out of this
32:03
world. It is some of the craziest shit
32:07
I've ever seen. It's crazy like this.
32:10
This is crazy and I love because the first thing you see is him
32:13
being dressed because clearly he's like a kind of like he's an
32:17
extremely like out of shape sickly like old guy.
32:22
Yeah. Like he is but then they put
32:25
this like clear body armor on him that has like molded
32:29
muscles, this terrifying like mask and it's just like it will
32:35
like they're scary. He looks like Villain out of an
32:40
anime. Yeah.
32:43
It's it's very scary and it it really holds true to like the
32:47
Mad Max films in the past. I mean, this is kind of a step
32:50
up but they've always had like these kind of like creepy
32:53
looking characters. This one really takes the cake
32:56
for me. I mean I don't want to say this
32:58
is my favorite costume, but it might be even though I can't
33:01
stand his character. He's just so aggressive to look
33:05
at. Yeah, but the costume is so
33:08
detailed and so Ting. Everything about it is just like
33:13
creepy and haunting but also like you could tell us like
33:16
really thrown together. And holding this man alive and
33:20
make them look. So like, like you said, like a,
33:24
I don't know a hero to these people even though he's not and
33:28
probably like sickly and just wants to go to bed.
33:30
Yes. Yeah.
33:32
No. Because he has like all the
33:33
metals on which clearly have been scavenged by his sons, or I
33:39
was confused. Is right?
33:40
Who was and was not related to this man.
33:42
Um, it's like all the metals and just like this, clear body armor
33:50
is so aggressively scary. Like, because they're very, they
33:56
don't use a lot of armor in this, but clearly he needs it.
34:00
So he's like I don't want to look like I'm wearing armor but
34:03
I gotta have this armor. So let's do this like molded
34:06
body suit and get get on with our day.
34:09
Day. It looks like it's barely
34:12
holding it together. I think it is.
34:14
I think it is. I did appreciate the math though
34:17
because I'm like, yes, we're in a desert.
34:19
I get the mask. And like I would want one too.
34:22
Yes, yes. Allergies, absolutely
34:25
absolutely. Uh, I'm dealing with that right
34:29
now and I'm like, I don't I pass it as I'm like, am I sick?
34:33
Or is this allergy? This is the first podcast
34:36
episode in weeks where I actually don't feel like I'm 60
34:40
That's why I had tea. I thought about getting old
34:43
something a little fun or and then I was like some tea with
34:46
some locally sourced honey at my brother's.
34:49
Yeah we have this like private airport basically by my house
34:56
and they run like weird events out of it like every now and
34:59
then there's like a hot balloon fair and then in the last couple
35:05
years on the same property has popped up like Glassblower
35:11
studio and they make like ornaments and stuff and then
35:16
most recently like a honey farmer.
35:19
That's so nice. Yeah, my brother came home, he
35:21
was like yeah I just stopped at the Honey, Farm way home.
35:24
I got some honey. I was like okay so lovely.
35:27
I'm drinking a mimosa with locally sourced oranges.
35:31
Oh got those good California oranges.
35:34
Oh maybe locally sourced from your grocery store.
35:41
Whoa, something that's not so great or locally sourced.
35:46
Any of the people in this room are gasoline.
35:53
We are introduced to Furioso who instead of getting gas for the
35:58
community changes. The plans and forces the
36:02
immortan, Joe to send out his people to get her and what she
36:06
has taken from him. Oh my gosh, these people became
36:11
so scared. Like, even scarier.
36:13
Yeah, I am very I find a blood bag situation, very upsetting.
36:19
Like I said, yes, just yes. I don't really understand it.
36:25
And I don't want to understand it and I'm like, they clearly
36:29
have like, some level of like technology because they, like as
36:34
part of, like capturing him, they like tattoo on his back.
36:37
Like, he's a universal donor, like all this, like, Medical, I
36:40
guess information about him and then they're just like, oh yeah,
36:45
you need blood universal donor. Like it was, why can't we just
36:50
get bags of blood? I don't understand.
36:53
Right. You like talking about this is
36:56
making me feel nauseous, no. But clearly all about, all these
37:00
young men are insane and sick. Like there's so much radiation
37:05
sickness. Yeah, in this movie, I was
37:08
starting to feel ill. We'll just seeing it on the
37:12
screen. One of my favorite costumes
37:14
though is Max's haircut which by the way I would think Max should
37:18
actually thank everyone for the haircut because he looks a lot
37:21
better. He looks significantly better.
37:23
Yeah, I didn't realize it was Tom Hardy until he got the
37:26
heart. The haircut was like it's Tom
37:29
Hardy that like metal mask. He wears.
37:33
This is a costume point. It gives me so much anxiety.
37:37
It's just like, you know, how uncomfortable this is you Tell,
37:40
it's just so tight and they would make me panic.
37:44
I feel panicky just talking about it and it's like, I love
37:48
how like because it's like, this weird like Trident piece.
37:51
Yeah. And I love how like the outer
37:54
spikes of It. Go like right up to his like
37:56
pupils and I'm like, like the wrong move and he's just like
38:00
he's blind, why horrifying? And then the fact that what do
38:05
they call them War boys? Yeah, although War boys.
38:09
Just black pants scarf, makeup. Like it's creepy, it's very
38:16
creepy, it's very creepy. Creepiest of all we have
38:21
Nicholas a whole, as an ox, until I saw this film for years
38:27
for years. I thought this was Eddie
38:30
Redmayne. It's like, you know, it's are
38:34
besties. That's no, that's Peter, the
38:38
Great. Play cuz like I'd seen, like I'd
38:43
seen the trailer and I team like little clips from it here and
38:46
there. Because how can you not?
38:49
Yeah, always thought it was Eddie Redmayne until I was
38:53
physically watching the movie and was like, that's Nicholas
38:57
whole. Yeah.
38:58
And you know what? That's fair.
39:00
Elizabeth that's. Yeah.
39:01
Because you always see this him in the car and I was like, huh?
39:05
I didn't know Nicholas Hoult was in this movie and I was like, I
39:08
guess him and Eddie Redmayne. Or in it and then I see him in
39:11
the car. And I'm like, wait, any red
39:13
means not in this movie. No, it's very fair, but Nicholas
39:20
whole as necks. I mean, it's like crazy
39:23
character. And his costume though is is
39:26
interesting because he's actually wearing a costume.
39:28
Unlike most of the other warble. He's yeah.
39:31
Because he has stolen, um, Max's jacket for whatever reason and
39:38
like, all the other work, Always has goggles on and Jenny beavan
39:43
talked about them a little bit to Vanity Fair.
39:46
She said not only did this film have to look amazing.
39:51
They had to be able to work in it, referring to the costumes.
39:56
They had to have safety built into it.
39:59
Everyone had to wear goggles in the end because of the sand and
40:04
you know, racing through the desert churning up, the sand was
40:08
dangerous. Oh wow, so I was like, I never
40:11
thought about that. She's like, these were not just,
40:15
oh, they look great as the costume piece.
40:17
She's like, everybody literally had to have eye protection,
40:21
which I'm like that makes complete sense.
40:23
Would have never thought about it, but yeah, everybody had to
40:26
protect their eyes from the sand.
40:28
They were literally in the desert.
40:31
She's like the desert actually is going to kill them if I don't
40:34
step up the costumes, she's like everybody is losing their
40:38
eyesight and last week We also have in these first couple
40:44
scenes, furiosa, played by Charlize Throne.
40:50
That's a badass, such a badass, like so good.
40:55
She's got this sick, corset with the belt details.
40:59
I love what a lot of the women, especially from The Citadel
41:03
where because it's clearly, beautiful, beautiful silk,
41:07
that's just been destroyed, right?
41:09
Right, unless you're one of immortan, Joe's beautiful wives,
41:14
but we're getting to that we will get into that.
41:17
Uh, I love furiosa's mechanical arm.
41:22
Yeah, bring me so much joy. And when you actually go to the
41:25
academy Museum in Los Angeles, they have her arm on this.
41:29
I love that because I didn't realize that was a part of her
41:32
costume. I was very familiar with her
41:34
costume but for some reason, I'd never noticed her arm.
41:39
Um, I don't know why but I just never did and apparently she
41:46
released her own. Love this outfit.
41:48
Jenny, beavan talked about her first fitting with her to Vanity
41:53
Fair. She said when Charlize came in
41:55
for her fitting and nambia, she put one on and said this feels
42:01
really great and it had to be a sort, of course it because she
42:04
had to put this harness on top of it.
42:08
I want all sort of English. And Coy and said, oh well you
42:11
know we've been trying to make it and she said take the
42:15
compliment compliment bitch George literally elevated about
42:19
a foot in the air. He sort of jumped she just very
42:24
she's just very straight talking and I just loved it.
42:27
So I've been taking the cop woman bitch ever since they
42:34
would have been like you apologized to Jenny beavan right
42:37
away but she was like, oh yeah. Should just take a compliment.
42:44
I've always thought to be Charlize, Theron.
42:46
I just feel like she's probably like the coolest most badass
42:48
person you could ever possibly meet.
42:51
I feel like she is really just like a character in real life
42:54
and I want to know, like, what are you?
42:56
Like, I imagine. She's like furiosa in real life.
42:59
That's how I've always imagined. Yeah.
43:02
No, definitely another interesting part of furiosa's
43:09
overall. Look is her makeup and hair and
43:13
makeup artist for the film Leslie.
43:16
Van Der Waal did a couple interviews.
43:19
She said to Vogue, we got the idea for Fury Osos forehead look
43:24
from a picture. I had of a lovely girl, in
43:28
Africa who had wiped clay across her forehead from her eyebrows
43:32
up, furiosa probably would have used a bit of Grease or oil to
43:37
get that Sheen and You thought for her character she'd reapply
43:42
it like war paint and I'm like, that's just so cool because you
43:46
actually do see her reapply it throughout the film two.
43:49
And she's like, okay, it's time. It's time to get to get going.
43:56
It just looks so bad in, like, a good way.
43:59
Like she looks so scary and don't mess with her.
44:04
No, don't mess with her also. Don't mess with her cargo.
44:09
Go. The why is of immortan?
44:12
Joe one of Max's sent out with the knux, it was using him as a
44:17
blood bag as we talked about through the course of the hunt
44:22
for furiosa. He escapes the Scavengers and
44:26
finds the women that furiosa saved this part makes me crazy,
44:34
just all these beautiful models to stop, they all look.
44:39
So good. I mean Zoe Kravitz?
44:42
Hello. Yeah like they're each
44:45
stunningly beautiful but on like a very different way.
44:49
They all have like a very unique look and I was like wow this man
44:52
is really just trying to get a diverse population of children
44:57
where they all pregnant or just a couple of them.
45:01
I think it was just Just A to Z Huntington-Whiteley his
45:06
character. Was there more than one I know.
45:09
The blond want the blond, the bleach blond one.
45:12
She also says she's pregnant. Oh, which by the way, that's
45:16
Abby, Lee, who we met for the first time in Lovecraft country,
45:21
who played Christina bright white.
45:23
Yes, her gosh TV. And I know they all are mean.
45:31
Zoe, Kravitz. Looks like a baby and she does.
45:34
She does I wasn't expecting. I didn't know she was in this
45:38
film. That was like That's so weak.
45:40
Rabbits, I forgot up until I start watching it.
45:43
This is only my second time seeing it and I was like, oh my
45:45
gosh. Yeah, their costumes, though are
45:48
all sick. I love them.
45:50
Because, of course, they're all like dirty, but you could tell.
45:53
Like, at one point, they were like supposed to be like white
45:55
and elegant but then when they're out in a desert like
45:58
they all like, I'm like Blow In The Wind, which makes them kind
46:01
of look like Angelic as far as Mad Max, you know, like rules
46:07
they really look like Grecian? Choose which one?
46:10
You see, where he kept them? Makes a lot of sense.
46:13
Yeah, because it's like the plushest, most beautiful part of
46:16
his, his little kingdom. And it's like, you can tell he
46:20
was really, they were just ornaments for him.
46:23
But I'm also like the, like the fact that they're wearing so
46:27
little, so little clothing. I'm like, that's just like such
46:31
a tool. He used to keep them at the
46:33
Citadel because it's like, you can't survive in the desert very
46:38
well wearing that little. Everything like you're gonna get
46:41
horrible, horrible Sunburn and like tired, like just from the
46:46
sun exposure so quickly, like it's insane that they ran away
46:51
in that. I have a feeling they probably
46:54
never leave. They mean they were locked
46:56
behind a vault door. Oh yeah.
46:58
But like keeping them dress like that would have liked given them
47:03
a reason not to leave. Yeah, I mean there are some
47:07
horrific stuff was happening. Even before his film started,
47:11
you could totally tell like apps.
47:13
Like, I don't know if this furiosa prequel has anything to
47:17
do with what's happening inside the Citadel.
47:20
I don't want it. Honestly, I don't want my God,
47:24
but the freaking chastity belt. The one girl had on.
47:29
I was like, no, thank you. Yeah, no thank you.
47:33
I was like it's a pretty badass looking piece, though.
47:36
Whoever on Jenny's team made, it looks So how it is actually
47:40
beautiful, but horrifying, however, like you said, they all
47:45
look like models and Leslie, talk to Vogue about their local
47:49
lat. She said, we wanted the girls to
47:53
Glow in this. Dusty, dirty, filthy, World
47:57
luminous. Almost like a mirage, like,
47:59
people couldn't believe their eyes, which I'm like, Yeah,
48:04
that's pretty much. I mean they literally are models
48:08
that's their their models before they were actresses.
48:12
So that's the cool part about it.
48:13
All 45 of them were models, so that's pretty awesome.
48:19
She also said about, they're just very simple look.
48:21
It's always a rule of less is more when you're out there and
48:26
they wouldn't have had access to anything.
48:29
It would have been ludicrous to have them look like a beauty
48:33
queen. As if they'd found a Sephora
48:37
somewhere underground the boys on like they could have very
48:40
easily down that like that sounds tempting but she talks a
48:44
lot about how they just like use very light makeup.
48:48
She also like they use during a little bit.
48:50
She was like be kind of like shaded in highlighted, like with
48:53
dirt but like in a way that wouldn't be distracting right
48:57
like, huh, that's so fascinating.
49:00
Well Rosie does look like she did hit up Sephora.
49:03
A bit. But I'll let that one pass a
49:06
little bit. Yeah, she's probably the one
49:11
that was gifted, any makeup that was scavenged.
49:14
She was definitely the favorite. You could tell, by the way that
49:18
the immortan Joe is kind of freaking out, especially when
49:20
she fell out of the car and gut, you know.
49:27
Elizabeth doesn't want. I want to talk about what
49:29
happened to her afterwards. I don't want to talk about it.
49:34
That's that's fair. Carry on.
49:37
Oh my gosh. I thought they were going to
49:38
show a lot during that scene after she fell out and I was
49:42
like I am not ready for this and I was like, okay they were as
49:46
tasteful as they could be in this situation.
49:47
Thank you. Yeah they spared us um but after
49:51
Max runs into them he steals the worry.
49:56
Like a jackass, then is outsmarted by furiosa who forces
50:00
him to join with her in the women, but Knocks The Gas Town,
50:06
boys, and bullet Farmers soon. Catch up with them.
50:10
Yeah, there's a lot to say here. Let's start with the bullet
50:15
Farmers. I mean, they're costly was super
50:18
cool. Especially the leader played by
50:20
Richard Carter. Yeah, and it's their bullet
50:23
Farmers. So his armor is made out of
50:25
Bolus, I thought his look was so cool.
50:29
Awesome. Like a little cheesy looking on
50:31
him because just like this like older guy like what is he doing
50:35
out here? Like in the middle of the desert
50:37
tracking down these wives like he does look a little ridiculous
50:42
with his like bullet-head piece. I think that's kind of the point
50:46
to though, because it's like at one point.
50:48
They, they called each other brother, like immortan, Joe, and
50:51
bullet farmer. I don't know if they're actually
50:53
related, but like, definitely like the Farmers are not as
50:58
prestigious as like the people, The Citadel.
51:00
Yeah. It's almost like they're kind of
51:02
the joke, but they're also like necessary.
51:05
Speaking of jokes, the People Eater played by John Howard.
51:10
This costume, I won't lie, I absolutely hate it.
51:16
The the cutout nipples really sends me.
51:21
So when I was watching this, I didn't notice the cutout nipple.
51:26
Lucky for you because I did and I was not able to sleep last
51:31
night until I saw this picture and I was like, excuse me.
51:37
Why? What is happening?
51:40
Why his nose was bad enough? Yeah, like clearly, he does not
51:45
have a nose. But why?
51:48
I don't know anything. It just adds to the creepiness
51:53
of the Mad Max Universe. This is like Peak Mad, Max, just
51:57
nonsense. Nonsense.
52:00
Nonsense. Also going through a lot of
52:02
nonsense. Poor knocks.
52:05
He's just in his dirty, dirty pants, and all these tattoos on
52:14
him. I'm like, boy, like What have
52:17
you been doing to yourself but more on him later and after
52:23
attempting safe Passage through the mountains, Max that furiosa
52:29
attract more unwanted attention in the form of these are
52:34
mountain people who I absolutely love their costumes.
52:38
Yeah. Super cool.
52:39
They kind of reminded me of like the tusken Raiders of like Star
52:42
Wars a little bit. A little bit, a little bit.
52:44
I feel like they look like Buffalo.
52:46
A Bit like they're clear, like the I can't tell if it's just
52:51
like a whole head piece or a headpiece and their hair, it's
52:55
gorgeous. It Blends in because it's all
52:58
like Reds and oranges and Browns.
53:00
So they like blend right into the mountains.
53:03
And they look so cool riding after her on their dirt bikes.
53:07
Yeah, they're like clearly taking like they're making
53:10
something out of nothing. It's like, very put together for
53:13
a whole bunch of random stuff but somehow like still creates a
53:16
A cohesive shape between what like looks to be like a tribe of
53:20
some sort. It's very beautiful.
53:24
Yeah I kind of do see like the Buffalo influence maybe like a
53:28
go or something like that little horns.
53:30
Yeah they might be Devils too but they kind of like read like
53:33
Mountain animal. Look at like you know like
53:36
there's something like the goats that like stick to the side of a
53:39
mountain. Yeah well in this
53:44
post-apocalyptic world I mean Yeah, might as well.
53:49
All right with that though. Spencer, I need a little bit of
53:53
time to decompress before we finish this up.
53:56
How about you? Yeah, I need another Mimosa
53:59
after the nipple tassels came up.
54:00
Again, I just, I need to go lay down, okay?
54:04
All right, everybody. Go lay down and we'll be right
54:06
back to finish up that Max. What's up costume, nerds?
54:26
This is Spencer co host and producer of The Art of costume
54:29
blogcast. I love the simple things in
54:31
life, free parking air conditioning and a nice
54:34

54:58
Thank you for all your support. Are you ready for a little
55:22
nighttime Pursuit? I am also one thing before we
55:26
get back into this, if you catch some Max is like, low-key, like
55:30
growl instead of like talking. Like the first half of this
55:33
film, he was just growling. It's the man.
55:36
Barely Okay, what he did is like, really, really, really?
55:40
Yeah. I was like no, it's not Tom
55:42
Hardy. I noticed the main character had
55:45
the least amount of lines of anybody in this film.
55:49
Nice. Yeah.
55:51
Tom Hardy once-in-a-generation kind of talent.
55:54
I still have to see Venom. I've never seen the Venom movies
55:58
me either. Oh my gosh.
56:01
Do we actually have a film to watch for Finer Things Club?
56:04
I don't know. We should watch the Venom
56:05
movies. I think they're on Sophia Max.
56:09
That will be fun. What was not fun was as our crew
56:14
is being pursued by through the night.
56:17
They lose the splendid ank hearta, aka the beautiful wife.
56:24
That was super pregnant and they are pursued by the bullet farmer
56:30
and they run into some fantastic Swamp People nice.
56:34
These nighttime shots were stunning.
56:37
They were so beautiful. I mean it was like art.
56:40
I mean this whole film is like essentially like a very artistic
56:44
cinematic film as much as we are.
56:46
Like this film makes me anxious, you know but like there's some
56:50
like really impressive shots in this film and like the fact that
56:55
it can make you anxious is a you know Testament to how well this
56:59
was produced and shot and like the work that I think it is
57:04
supposed to make you anxious. Yeah.
57:07
Of the point but we get to see. And one of these night scenes, a
57:12
character who I kind of loved Miss giddy played by Jennifer
57:17
Hagan, she was this just beautiful older woman who was in
57:25
charge of the wise before she helped Furioso help them escape
57:30
and Leslie, talked about all Miss Kitty's tattoos.
57:36
She said Ed, we would start by applying the Tinsley tattoo
57:42
transfer the day before and she would sleep in them.
57:48
This application in all took a total of six hours.
57:55
Damn it also included a wig done beautifully by Anita Morgan.
58:01
The fact that she had to sleep in them is just bananas.
58:05
She like I'm like talk about being a trooper because she her
58:10
entire body is tattooed. Yeah.
58:12
Like this is like one of those things I want to know.
58:15
Like what's with all the tattoos, this was a movie.
58:18
This was another one of those kind of movies where I'm like.
58:20
I felt like I was missing information, they just love the
58:23
tattoo. I don't know what else to do out
58:25
here. I don't know, I don't know.
58:28
But um, who got like a style upgrade by a just the waiting in
58:33
the night scenes and Lack of eyesight.
58:37
The bullet farmer. Yeah, it looks so cool.
58:40
Cool Target about an upgrade. Yeah, and it's like, literally,
58:48
all they did was remove his helmet and like, add that that
58:53
blindfold over his eyes. And he suddenly looked like a
58:58
really badass Warrior, not like a, like a paranoid Grandpa.
59:03
Yeah, if he was going out with a bang, literally it's just a
59:07
colors are just so stunning but you could still see like the
59:10
bullets like all over him as in like he's still going down as
59:15
the bullet farmer. You knew exactly who this
59:17
character was even if you if he couldn't see, we could see.
59:22
Absolutely, absolutely. We also get to see these
59:25
fantastic Swamp People at night. So cool wanted a actual scene
59:31
with them because at first I thought they were animals and I
59:34
was like no these are clearly people.
59:35
On stilts. Yeah, that's who they are.
59:38
They just they have these fantastic huge, just like cloaks
59:42
that, like, they're just there like Mossy and like Ragan.
59:46
And they're clearly meant to like if they lay down in the
59:49
swamp to just look like part of the swamp.
59:52
Yeah, you can't even see the colors, but you just know by
59:57
looking at their like covered in like algae or Moss or something
1:00:00
and it just Vines and all sorts of crazy stuff, which I love and
1:00:04
you can't even see it. It it's just a silhouette and
1:00:06
you just know that that costume is done so perfectly well, that
1:00:10
the silhouette, you know, exactly what it is.
1:00:12
Absolutely absolutely. But they kind of get to where
1:00:16
they're going, they find furiosa's original family and
1:00:21
the fact that her entire home is destroyed, it is now the green
1:00:26
place she has been promising to take these poor girls.
1:00:30
The green is the green place is a swamp now.
1:00:35
They missed it the swamp, people were actually, they're besties.
1:00:38
Yeah. And they're like, well, what the
1:00:40
fuck do we do now? And Max is like, you could
1:00:44
always take the sit at all. That's a green place to.
1:00:48
I love how the wives are, like, we're going where and are like,
1:00:50
oh, to the Citadel. It's like, we just spent, like
1:00:53
two days running away from the Citadel.
1:00:55
Why would we go? Yeah, and I left, that's like
1:00:58
when he's, like, grunting a lot like yeah, uh-huh.
1:01:01
Yeah, yeah yeah. But we kept some meet the what
1:01:11
they call them the many mothers. Yes, who are just all these
1:01:15
badass older ladies except for the valkyrie played by Megan
1:01:21
Gale. Yeah badass you see you all
1:01:26
she's adapted to the situation and her costume just to me.
1:01:30
Screams like it's not even that dirty almost you know like it's
1:01:34
actually kind of put together. There.
1:01:36
It's the strong armor and she's ready to.
1:01:38
She's ready to fight for her life out here.
1:01:40
She's been protecting her people and she'll die doing that.
1:01:44
And that's exactly what she does.
1:01:45
Unfortunately. But also our wives all, get an
1:01:50
upgrade and I say wives because I can't remember their names
1:01:54
because okay, oh my gosh, this is the thing I was going to talk
1:01:57
about earlier, that really bothered me because they're
1:02:00
like, oh the because this is like a very feminist film.
1:02:03
It, absolutely is right. Right.
1:02:05
But they don't take the time to name the women.
1:02:10
They're like it's funny there like named on IMDb but like you
1:02:15
know, I never named say out loud there.
1:02:19
I think sometimes they talk about each other.
1:02:21
Sometimes I think. Yeah.
1:02:23
But the majority of time they're just referred to as the lives.
1:02:26
And I'm like, can we give them actual names?
1:02:31
Mr. George Miller and then her name's us this far.
1:02:34
They're Names are like super long to.
1:02:37
Yes. Yes.
1:02:39
But um, anyways, they're covered up and they look like
1:02:44
comfortable for one. So like we have like some actual
1:02:47
fabric on and like covering my head and, you know, like
1:02:51
protected from the elements to actually look like, cover it up
1:02:54
and comfortable for once. Yes.
1:02:56
And I love the one that has this little romance going on with
1:02:59
knux. She gets this fabulously
1:03:02
embroidered piece of fabric to use.
1:03:05
I was like a cloak and that, like suits her perfectly the
1:03:10
platinum blond one. She gets this whole like black
1:03:13
waffle knit scarf with like, some bones and like a another.
1:03:19
She's like, she's like this and Witchy Woman already and they're
1:03:21
just like, add to her witchiness.
1:03:24
Yeah, that's my favorite one. You could tell like that.
1:03:26
Fabric is nice that she put over her head.
1:03:29
Absolutely. And then Zoe Kravitz gets this
1:03:32
like beautiful like green. Gray and like cream Ensemble.
1:03:38
That really just like, it looks beautiful on her.
1:03:41
Yeah, let's just they all look. I wouldn't say happy, but they
1:03:45
all just like comfortable. They will know, like, triple for
1:03:48
the first time. If we got, we're going back to
1:03:50
the Citadel, but if we got anything out of this, we got
1:03:53
some nice blankets. And yeah, globally McGovern for
1:03:57
at least a couple days or hours. How they are.
1:04:00
All not like be read at this point, I don't know.
1:04:05
No, yeah. However they're like finally
1:04:07
some protection from this stupid son.
1:04:13
We also have to talk about a character.
1:04:17
The doof Warrior played by Iota the guitarist character, the
1:04:25
guitarist character which it was fabulous.
1:04:29
So cool. I don't know.
1:04:31
Something about him is so scary to.
1:04:34
Yeah, I don't know. It is it's like oh he's like a
1:04:37
rocker out. He's rocking those cool but then
1:04:39
also he's scary because his his whole vibe is just very scary.
1:04:46
I don't know how to describe this character.
1:04:48
Honestly, it's just a lot, but I love it.
1:04:51
I love it too. And Jenny.
1:04:52
Beavan loved it. She talked about this character
1:04:55
to deadline. She said I was very surprised My
1:04:59
Tragedy with that. Is that underneath that costume
1:05:02
is the most fantastic? Ian Cabaret artist called Iota
1:05:08
and you don't even see his face. He's such an amazing man, and a
1:05:12
brilliant painter, artist and musician.
1:05:15
And there he is. Wearing this ridiculous red
1:05:18
onesie. And this extraordinary mask like
1:05:23
this is such a cool person and he looks ridiculous.
1:05:27
It to me, it's like giving, like almost kind of like, like Punk
1:05:31
Revolution a little bit. I don't know.
1:05:33
Like the onesie and a stocking. It's almost like, I don't know.
1:05:37
Kev giving me karela Vibes a little bit and a wave, like I
1:05:42
don't hate. He's giving Punk Revolution,
1:05:45
that's all. And that also in these final
1:05:48
scenes as are taking the sit at all, we get our Mad Max in his
1:05:53
full Mad, Max Ensemble, Jenny beavan also talked to deadline
1:05:59
about his character. She said we were aware of the
1:06:05
Previous designs Tom, Hardy's costume.
1:06:08
The underneath bit of it is Mel Gibson with a different t-shirt,
1:06:13
but everything that went on top was to do with Tom and his
1:06:18
feeling about where his max may have come from George always
1:06:22
said, it's not the fort fourth Max, it's another Max, I changed
1:06:28
a lot of things. I think we got away from what I
1:06:32
would call the look of the road. We went to a grittier place
1:06:38
which was great. Yeah, it's like, it definitely
1:06:41
is reminiscent of the price. The previous Mad Max films but
1:06:46
is different. It does still fairy-like leveled
1:06:49
up in a way that you know what makes sense.
1:06:52
For Tom Hardy and was just 2015 2016.
1:06:56
So I get it like it's a Echoes, the Mel Gibson but it's not.
1:07:01
Yeah, I also love it because she talked a little bit in one of
1:07:04
the other articles. About Tom Hardy was kind of for
1:07:07
his character taking inspiration from a lot of the you know like
1:07:11
Iraq War veterans and like what they were going through mentally
1:07:16
and kind of like the look they would have had while in the
1:07:21
service. So I'm like this is very much
1:07:23
that like Iraq war veteran inspired look because I'm like,
1:07:28
you can actually see that another film that inspiration in
1:07:31
other films. What I do love those that in.
1:07:35
Fury Road. He does have like that shoulder
1:07:38
piece though and that to me. Like this is that's the nod to
1:07:42
the previous film. Absolutely.
1:07:44
Yeah. Max character.
1:07:45
But this isn't that Max, this is a different Max, but that
1:07:48
shoulder piece says everything. I'm almost like, what that whole
1:07:52
jacket, though? It's almost like, at some point,
1:07:55
like, he found that same jacket, right?
1:08:00
Like, yeah, he's a different Max.
1:08:01
He's a different Mad Max like entirely, but he was just Like,
1:08:05
oh some point Mel Gibson's Mad Max, just discard it and he
1:08:09
found it, right? But with that we come to the end
1:08:17
as our ladies, take this it at all and release all the water.
1:08:22
Thank God. I mean, it was such a relief
1:08:24
that this Saucy I was relieved and it's film ended its ass.
1:08:28
Yeah. Two hours of Stress and Anxiety.
1:08:33
Doesn't mean it's a bad film. I think this is a superb.
1:08:37
An excellent. Yeah.
1:08:39
But like, you're stressed out the entire time.
1:08:41
Like, I could think the movie. I Am Legend.
1:08:44
Great movie me. I just want to cry an entire
1:08:47
time watching it. Like this is one of those
1:08:50
movies. Are you like when is this over?
1:08:53
Not because it's bad. But you like I need to like go
1:08:56
to the bathroom and like chill out for a second.
1:08:58
Take mine 8. Absolutely.
1:09:01
And I was just like all of like this does a very Very good job
1:09:07
of in implying a lot of the abuse and torture.
1:09:15
And that's going on like at the Citadel behind the scenes with
1:09:20
the women and like even like the war boys, like it's so Sinister
1:09:24
and it just like, makes you kind of sick.
1:09:27
Yeah, yeah that's I'm like, I'm nervous because I, you know,
1:09:30
furiosa, the I think it's a prequels coming out, but I also
1:09:34
read this That they're making a sounds like a sequel.
1:09:37
To Fury Road. Oh, heart is very excited.
1:09:41
But the other part of me is like, no, please.
1:09:43
Like I don't want to know what's happening, right?
1:09:47
I was kind of mad because at the end he just like walks away from
1:09:51
them. Max.
1:09:52
Yeah. Like Max.
1:09:54
What are you doing? I get that.
1:09:55
You have issues. Clearly.
1:09:58
Right. Stay here.
1:10:00
Like they need your help. I don't know that they ever.
1:10:05
Tended to make, like sequels. But I mean Fury Road did
1:10:09
incredibly well when it came out.
1:10:11
Yeah. I mean, like you said, a
1:10:12
basically dominated the Oscars except for best picture.
1:10:16
Like yeah, hold on, let's look this up.
1:10:20
It was nominated for cinematography didn't win.
1:10:23
Costume design. Obviously it one.
1:10:26
Yeah, it was nominated for directing it.
1:10:30
One film editing. It one makeup and hair styling,
1:10:33
it one production design. Sound one sound editing one
1:10:39
sound mixing somehow didn't win visual effects or best picture?
1:10:46
I'm like, Um, it's in the members of The Academy, we have
1:10:53
been talking about starting our own Awards one day, and just
1:10:56
every day that this feels like more and more necessary.
1:10:59
So stay tuned, right? Yeah, you know, I'm going to
1:11:03
think about this. Yeah, I'm gonna think about
1:11:06
this, our supporters have asked for it on Instagram and
1:11:10
Tick-Tock so I'm just saying maybe we'll start with a costume
1:11:14
base 1 and then expand, what's that?
1:11:19
I think it's time to finish but our favorite game.
1:11:23
Are you ready to play? What are we playing?
1:11:25
Spencer, the one costume to rule them all.
1:11:35
Okay, Lisbeth you start. This is kind of a hard one for
1:11:41
me, because I'm tempted to pick furiosa because I actually like
1:11:46
that character. However, in terms of my favorite
1:11:53
costume, unfortunately, I have to say it's immortan Joe.
1:11:58
I mean, I hate that man, he's evil.
1:12:00
I hate looking at him, but his costume is sick and it's just
1:12:04
solutely. That's so recognizable.
1:12:07
There's so much detail in it. Like the Little Badges of Honor
1:12:11
on his on his chest piece that you clearly like, scavenge
1:12:14
somewhere. It's a really beautiful costume.
1:12:17
I don't love looking at it, but it really creates such an
1:12:20
interesting scary character and just like hats off to Jenny
1:12:24
beavan because this is just top-notch work.
1:12:27
Absolutely. I totally agree.
1:12:30
He, his his whole wardrobe is extraordinary.
1:12:36
However, my choice was the The guitarist because like his look
1:12:44
in particular is so different from anybody else's look in this
1:12:50
film. And it's low-key iconic.
1:12:53
Like, I knew this character, I thought that character would
1:12:58
have a bigger room roll, right? Then just playing guitar but
1:13:03
like, you know, this look and his like, the wet, like his
1:13:08
physicality in this. Wardrobe is extraordinary as
1:13:11
well. And it like kind of expresses
1:13:14
everything this Citadel is about which is like its control.
1:13:18
It's this weird tribal control like of this warlord who like
1:13:24
uses music and like, you know, like mythology to control his
1:13:30
people. And I feel like the guitarist
1:13:33
kind of symbolizes all of that. Yeah.
1:13:35
It's just like, what is this guy's life when he's not?
1:13:39
Playing a guitar on this truck. Yeah.
1:13:41
When he's not hanging from scaffolding, like what does he
1:13:45
do? When he gets back to the
1:13:46
Citadel? I wonder if he's like my local
1:13:49
legend or something, I don't know.
1:13:51
Who knows? Who knows how but Spencer
1:13:56
