Episode 39 - SPOILER Review: A ‘FURIOSA’ Saga! (2015 and 2024)

Welcome to the deranged world of George Miller’s Mad Max universe. Here we are focusing on the epic and indomitable character, Furiosa! My cousin Ali-Reza Beheshti joins me as we break down and provide spoiler reviews of both “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015) and “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” (2024) - two brilliant action movie achievements!

The Furiosa chapters of the Mad Max franchise kick this storyline into a whole new gear for George Miller fands (and those who are George Miller fans and just don’t know it yet). If the insane, heart-pounding score and nail-biting, relentless hyperkinetic editing style of this movie aren't enough to keep you entertained, the two powerhouse actors who embody the warrior Furiosa will certainly convert you into die-hard fans of this world.

These movies, while connected, feel distinctly different from each other. We explore our pros and cons on the films, thoughts on the direction, production team, performances, and the use of visual effects versus practical effects, which are handled very differently in each film. Discover why “Fury Road” remains a near-perfect action film and how “Furiosa” adds valuable depth to this saga.

“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is available now for rent and purchase on all major platforms, including Apple TV+, Amazon, and Google Play. “Mad Max: Fury Road" is now streaming on Max too. Get yourself ready for these unforgettable action thrill-rides but before you start be sure to ask yourself one question: “…do you have it in you to make it epic?”
