The Mad Max series isn't post-apocalyptic. It's a documentary of Australians who live more than twenty miles from the coast.
Mad Max: What happened when Australia ran out of beer for two weeks.
Hell on earth, aka The Outback 😅
My girlfriend is Australian and I literally told her last night “I just saw that new documentary about your country” lmao
The franchise finale should be they finally drive out to the coast line and they see people living like normal with grocery stores etc
This is very original. And has not been said on every single video or post that has to do with Mad Max.
I like the Max cameo because it showed him not wanting to get involved with anything. Very Mad Max of him.
I read that in the original 2015-era treatment for Furiosa that shot was supposed to be the ending shot of the film. It's not supposed to be a gratuitous fan service shot, George Miller's original vision for Furiosa was for it to end exactly with the shot that starts Fury Road.
But it's edited so strangely that it does seem like he stepped in to help. One of many missteps in the movie.
@@davidthieroff9452 Yeah to me it seemed like Max somehow brought her to the creepy old bag with the maggots but that wouldn't make sense. Someone got her there, though.
@@TheDarkPorkins Yea that was one thing that had me confused. Its edited as if Max saw her close to death and picked her up and dumped her at the citadel. But I dont think Max is aware of the Citadel in Fury Road? I'm fine the cameo but I think it probably could have fit somewhere else without the implication that he's the one that saved her.
Not even the fury road mad max
Dementus went through at least 4 iterations during the movie. Dementus, The Red Dementus, The Great Dementus and finally The Dark Dementus.
In the end he was the colourful Dementus though. There was white, black and red all the colours.
So he's joebiden in mad max form 😂
Expecto Patronum!
He became Treementus
He ended up being a real peach of a guy.

What a day, what a lovely day!
George Miller with Mad Max movies is what Ridley Scott thinks he is with the Alien franchise.
Damn. That's a direct hit
I'd do anything to live in the timeline where Prometheus isn't a pretentious barrel of farts with characters who seem to be victims of trepanning and is instead directly comparable to Fury Road.
@@brinewind8732you think Prometheus is bad? You will not enjoy Covenant..😂Seriously, at least Prometheus had Fassbender doing a great job as an android gone psycho, it had some cool visuals and a couple(literally 2) great scenes. Covenant is just stupid. So, so stupid..

It would've done well in 2019 probably. Was a good box office year
Turns out it probably would have made just as much money then as it did now.
I just wanted a movie with mad max kicking ass instead we get him kicking ass half of fury road and completely cut out in the worst movie in the franchise...beyond thunderdome is better
Honestly, my theater was at best 20% full, though it was the 6pm Friday showing, I'm guessing the later one was busier.
@@JohnSmith-pj6wbdamn shit taste sorry bout that bro
To me, the name Furiosa works because even as a kid, she’s trained to sabotage/ kill any interlopers, and her mother is a full badass. So my understanding is that Furiosa is from a warrior caste or family, which would explain the name. Especially cause her little sister was named “Valkyrie”
Yeah, they were all stone cold killers even as old ladies. And it makes sense - you could only build the Green Place in a world like that by slaughtering any poor fool who got close.
i was bored to tears for the first half of the movie. it finally got good during the war rig scene and then never got good again.
@nullakjg767 you were bored during this movie? Be honest mate, how much time do you spend on tiktok every day?
@@PraiseJesus69 yeah the protaganist was a child prisoner in capitivity for most of the series. the last movie was a high octane convoy battle. personally im glad there wont be another mad max if this is the direction it was going in.
@nullakjg767 i agree that its not as good as fury road, but what is. I'm glad Miller went for something different instead of trying to recapture lighting. It's still beyond me how it's even possible to be bored during this movie unless you went in with a completely closed mind or years of disney colour explosion brain rot
I haven't seen "Furiosa" but talking about "Fury Road" I think it was Jay who said, "In this movie there is a blind albino playing a flame throwing guitar on the back of a truck in the middle of the desert, and it makes perfect sense." And that is one of the most hilariously appropriate descriptions of what "Fury Road" is like in terms of sensations.
"Its memorial day so he took the month off"
This is why I tune in
Mike isn't here because he fell asleep in the theatre, and they just left him there to rest. He's still there, sleeping, dreaming about ghosts.

One of my favorite parts of the movie was Dementus getting accidentally blasted with the first Warboy's red flare, then in the very next scene his hypeman announces him as Red Dementus. It was awesome to see him pivot from a Jesus/Gandhi pure white-robe role to an intimidating warlord trying to act tough at the Citadel.
I thought he called him the Dread Dementus, but I suppose Red Dementus makes sense.
@@The_Rage_Kage my showing had subtitles, it was indeed Red Dementus
@@ashb7 Ok makes sense. Dread Dementus does sound pretty rad though.
It also shows his weakness in needing to be looked up to in awe and fear by his minions. Like you said, it is to put on a more intimidating persona, when approaching Immorten Joe and his followers at the Citadel. A great example of "show, don't tell" filmmaking. A poorer script would have had an "exposition dump" scene.
The 'Kill Bill' comparison is actually spot on. One half being the action-packed curtain opener and the second being more reflective.

Really disheartening that this movie isn't performing well at the box office. It deserves so much better.
Seems more like the industry problem to go out for a movie. Well liked by critics and audience though.
@pokehybridtrainer I’ve never seen so many people say they “can’t go to the movie theater” because of prices while also all having a strong opinion on a movie they didn’t see.
I believe the cinima is a dead metric. As a teen, going to the movies on weekends, it was always tough finding a spot where we could all sit together. Now it is just empty.
Yeah. Last Saturday night at the theater was only a quarter full, but folks young and old dug seeing Furiosa. Day 1 streaming of movies from covid times have spoiled most of us in a way to watch from home. The movie theater experience is still where its at for me.
A shame because he has a third script following Max in the lead up to Fury Road, which won’t happen unless this does well
Finding Dementus's graveyard in the Mad Max game ABSOLUTELY fits with continuity. I can't say much without spoiling it, but the ending clearly lays out what REALLY happened while tipping the hat to how much mythology has arisen regarding his death.
Is that game any good? Might pick it up
I’m not going to play the game, how did he really die?
20:55 hearing Rich say "It veers into the cartoonish" while wearing that outfit with bowtie and hat is the highlight of my week
"There wasn't a narrator in Fury Road, was there?"
Well, Jay. There was a narrator in Fury Road...it was Max.
I love when rich actors try to act like they went through something making a movie. Live in Baltimore and then talk to me. These actors r so stupid. O we all feel unsafe cause I'm not in air conditioning.

Yep. Pretty much a perfect distillation of 'Murica mid-2024
I wish they’d just play these straight and just talk about the films. Even back in the days of the prequel reviews I’d skip through all the hookers in the basement crap.
Nah it adds character @kamandi1362
All of human existence is bizarre
@@kamandi1362 No way. I'm glad for the flourishes. Been here for it since near the beginning.
You touched on something with the Beetlejuice sequel that also bothers me a lot about modern sequels. You could call it lore but there's something else that bothers me about it that I can't quite find a word to describe. They take something people liked about the first movie and hype it up to 11 to the point ot becomes almost a meme. But then it becomes annoying because it's like they're trying too hard to shove it in your face, completely missing the point of what made it funny the first time is that it was a throwaway line or unexpected gag.
Pandering. It's pandering.
@@jiggusfiggus OH BOY! I sure do love me a nice bowl of pandering!
@@jiggusfiggus Thank you. Holy shit how could I miss that one.
They spent twelve hours digging into this concept in the plinket prequel reviews.
Flanderization is what its called
the reason miller did not cast charlize again is because he saw 'the irishman'
he was going to use digital anti aging technology for theron, but when he saw how bad it looked in the irishman he knew that he had to recast lol. glad he did
and it was expensive too! a big chunk of the budget was into de-aging IIRC. and that movie cost what, 150 million? I love The Irishman, but that movie should've cost about as half as that money. Joker had a budget of 70 million and it looks great.
@@jiggusfiggusit was 55 million the question is will the sequel make any money cause they pumped it to 200 million.
@@jiggusfiggus i have been told that it was 200 million actually lol. and i have seen people do a better job at anti aging the footage on their home computers!
I thought Anya was fine but if that was the hang-up, I think he could've just gone for it with Charlize. The issue with The Irishman wasn't that the deaging looked awful, it was ok and other movies have done it well too. It was that Scorcese was trying to pass off SEVENTY-FIVE YEAR OLD De Niro as a "kid" in his thirties. You can give him a younger face but he still moves like he's 75, man. De Niro should've at least had a body double when doing anything remotely physical.
Meanwhile Charlize can still do all those physical stunts, and can pass off with the deaging tech as 20-25 years younger, easy. Not a big deal though, apart from her physical build being absolutely TINY, Anya did a fine job.
@@ashb7 couldn't disagree more tbh man but you do you
My favorite thing was dementos coat slowly evolving over the movie. It starts white then is stained red then stained black until it literally becomes the reapers coat for furuosa to wear.
I loved how he keeps inventing new personas for himself; every time he hits a new milestone, he changes his gimmick. He gets obsessed with the color red after finding the blood mist grenades and restyles himself as Red Dementus. He sees Immortan Joe and decides he doesn't want to be a nomad leader anymore; he wants to be a warlord. After he meets the People Eater, he steals his nipple clamps gimmick (and then gives it up after he accidentally rips his own nipples off). And then finally, when everything starts falling apart, he enters his goth phase and starts wearing the black-and-purple cloak and calling himself Dark Dementus.
He's like a Deviantart kid who keeps reinventing their OC every month. It really nails him as this self-absorbed buffoon who keeps getting obsessed with whatever new, cool thing he's seen most recently.
I think he went from:
Dementos->Dementos the Red-> Dark Dementos

Fun fact. In the long standing tradition of Miller's love of casting the same actor in different roles. The actor of Immortan Joe in this movie also plays Dementus's One Eyed lieutenant THE SAME MOVIE
Elsa Pataky, the actress who played as the Vuvalini General who rode horseback with Furiosa's mom to rescue her, also played as the woman with the disfigured face who rode with Dementus after her gang was defeated by him.

Rich is finally free to mispronounce “Hemsworth” now that his bully is gone.
Sadly, he still can't risk making a Star Trek reference on his own. The consequences just aren't worth it.
The continuity of Mad Max, is almost exactly the Evil Dead continuity...
Not to mention the tones
I believe Furiosa's sister was named Valkyrie, so the parents just have bad ass names for their kids. If Fury Road was a 10, this movie was a 9. I really enjoyed it a lot. I also appreciated that there was almost no exposition, it just let the audience figure things out on their own. Like how Furiosa becomes a member of the war rig crew. There is no scene explaining how it happened, it just happened.
I also like how Dementus actually was a good leader, when he was a nomadic scavenger, where every day was chaotic and you never knew what would happen. When he stopped and settled down to rule a city, where every day was set and order, he had no idea what he was doing. He was in his element when living in chaos, and out of his element when trying to live with order.
I love less dialogue. I love no dialogue.
you sure he had no idea what he was doing? because he kinda disappeared from the film for an hour
Dementus was chaos incarnate. He was entropy, a maggot scavenging on the corpse of society. He was a simple threat to wasteland society.

Part of why George Miller is upset at the Mad Max game was how they ripped out bits of the Furiosa Movie script and at some point removed his involvment from the game which he didn't even get credited for.
Really? That's fucked up
It did more than that. WB had access to all of George Miller's design documents, preliminary art, and his notes for Fury Road, which included all the backstories and the lore that would later go into the Fury Road graphic novel, the Furiosa movie, and presumably his next project The Wasteland (if that even gets made).
So basically WB did what WB does best and fucked over George Miller by taking away all of his work and then saying "It's mine, I made that". The worst part about all of this is that the Mad Max game is kinda' good, but thanks to WB it's more generic than it would have been if GM would have retained control over the project.
@@citizengraves1632 I actually liked the game, just didn't like the ending where Max having become this rather heroic character (and essentially becoming quite "Kenshiro", getting into fights and being more like a warrior, unlike the films which always seem to push him down) he just goes ahead and kills Chumbucket with hardly a care and then goes off on his way :/
@@citizengraves1632 Well at least they let him do Furiosa after all those years. At this rate WB's days are numbered
@@citizengraves1632 That was almost karma considering how Miller & Terry Hayes screwed over the author of Riddley Walker in Mad Max 3. Film industry is dog eat dog. I agree about the 2015 game though, it’s a gem but would’ve been so much better without WB at the helm.

So one of the best of the worst episodes they talk about how they spent two hours talking about get back and I'm so sad I didn't get to hear it. Also phantom menace re release they made a snide joke about it in the last catch up episode. That's about it.
@josephrion3514 I watched the re-release and honestly Phantom holds up surprisingly well. Such a missed opportunity the prequels
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!
Have been thinking about this and I am fairly sure the credits montage is intended to say 'now go and watch Fury Road, the second half of this movie'. Because the two together work perfectly - excepting the cast changes - as one epic movie. You could cut the redundant credits sequence of Fury Road and just use a white-on-black intertitle like Furiosa does five times. 6: THE FURY ROAD.
My friends were asking me at the end of the move "so was the other one before or after this one?" It had come out so long ago they couldn't remember anything about it. All I had to do was point at the scenes in the end credits and be like "this is what happens next in the story."
I haven’t watched fury road in a couple of years and just after watching Furiosa at the cinema, I decided to put on fury road.
I honestly think that the credits are a plea to go and watch fury road as a sort of epilogue to furiosa. For me all of the emotions just washed over me, when she learned that her home had disappeared, in a way that they just didn’t at the end of Furiosa. Can’t recommend watching the two together enough and honestly, I’m just amazed at how well thought through both films are.

I really love how Miller insists on his protagonists having the fewest lines possible in this series. It's a fun limitation to put upon the writing and direction.

It’s been nine years since Mike made fun of Rich for calling Chris Hemsworth “Chris Helmsworth”, yet he’s still doing it. God bless his soul
Touching on how Dementus was calm at first then went crazy. Notice every time his cape changed color, his personality changed with it. When it was white he was calm and almost saint-like, then his cape got dyed red by the flare... He became angry and rash. Then it got turned black, and he became an unhinged psychopath, literally screaming "I'M DARK DEMENTUS!!!" and proclaiming the death of hope.
Also when he was Red Dementus he went straight to the Citadel and started acting like a communist revolutionary.
George Miller doesn’t like the mad max game because the team who made it took all of his notes and scripts without his permission and instead of following George’s story, they made a weird mess that contains heavy furiosa and Mad Max: The Wasteland spoilers (the movie that isn’t even out yet) and the game doesn’t contain any continuity to any entry in the series because of it, so I can understand why he’s pretty pissed about it. The game was supposed to be a direct prequel to fury road, the little girl max hallucinates was going to be in it and we would fail to save her, they even went so far as to remove the spoiler from max’s actual car in the film so they could make it an optional collectible in the game, that’s how deeply connected Miller intended the game to be.
Hope that helps
The girl is in the game and dies.
WTF. Goddamn it. I didn't know Miller had so much thought put into it. How did they use his notes without his permission though. ? Just lied about not using them or something ?
Great game.
Shame, the mad max game is criminally underrated. It looks fantastic and runs smooth as all hell at max settings in 4k on pc, and even though it takes awhile to really pick up the pacing, it's full of challenging places to fight through, lots of upgrades that are physically represented on max himself so you get a sense of progression from hobo to road warrior. The driving too, theres a lot of fun mechanics with the vehicle combat, and theres a palpable sense of speed and goddamn if the effects and sense of pure speed when cars explode and tumble wildly beside you aren't some of the best, maybe THE best I've ever seen.
Miller is coping because he can't write for shit anymore. The game was pretty good.

21:15 Hemsworth is fantastic as Dementus and not only does Dementus provide a fantastically compelling point of animosity for Furiosa to focus on, I think his character works as well as he does *because* Dementus is openly contrasted with what he *thinks* he is and *wants* to be - Immortan Joe's actually competent cadre of post apocalyptic autocrats. And yet despite the fact that he's mostly a small fry compared to them he still is a major pain in the ass to deal with.

And then he wrote a book about an author who wrote a book that was a massive hit but couldn't follow it up.
Rich Evans as Poochie the dog will go viral. FINALLY!
Remember Kids always ♻️. TO THE EXTREME!
in another voice: "I have to go now. My planet needs me!"
**Rich Evans freezes, and is slowly removed from frame.
Every time he’s not on screen we should ask “Where’s Poochie?”
I loved Furiosa. I'm gonna go see it again like 3 more times. I really hope George gets to make the Wasteland movie he's got planned.
What wasteland movie are you referring to, is it part of the Mad Max world?
Dr Demento is sorta a Mad Max evil twin, broken by the loss of his family he becomes a wandering marauder doing what he can to make people's lives worse because he hates the idea of them having hope for a future when he can't anymore.
Yes! When he was telling Furiosa his background I thought something like this too, but you put it more elegantly than I did. Dementus is Dark Max.
kind of like lord humongus
Calling her "Furiosa" as a child works as a latter day myth retelling. Think of it as a story retold by some tribal elder: "as a young child, Furiosa was kidnapped by a slaver named Demento who she swore vengeance on..."
He still has worse naming that George Lucas in the prequels.
That said, I wish we had gotten Dr. Demento as the villain in this.
Exactly. She’s always Furiosa because that’s the only name the storytellers know her by.
@@OperaNet1 but she's not always furiosa, she's little D, too.
@@kureijimun9335 I thought that meant that to Dementis, she was "Little Dementis". She was who he used to be.
@@Belgand absolutely not true. Miller has never missed with a name.
Cannot believe redlettermedia couldnt solve Mikes contract dispute before Furiosa
Mad Max is a documentary of our children’s future.
Furiosa is very, very good. It was fun filming it
you were involved in filming it?
Rich: “they can’t be that stupid”
This is Warner Bros, who put Dune 2 on Max 10 weeks after it hit theaters and are now wondering why Furiosa isn’t selling well.
The same warner bros who put Dune part 1 on Max weeks before theaters and then complained about box office takes?
@@Vanity0666but wasn't that during the last stages of the pandemic? I mean, things were starting to get better, but I'm sure WB. wasn't so sure
I wouldn't have watched 2 anyway considering what a pile of nothing the first part was. Villeneuve makes some of the most boringly sterile hyped up garbage of any director working today.
Dune 2 had petered out in the theaters by then anyway. It never made any financial to sense to spend that much to make Dune movies period. There was never going to be a big enough audience for a worm movie . And it's not like those first 2 Dune attempts were a smash hit.

Your previous comment is trashing Andor and now this, hopefully you’re just a troll
Loving the Dunkster, that lovable scamp
Rich Evans is a chameleon. He just becomes whatever role he takes on.
He's a real rascal
Dunkster Checks Out: A Plinkett Saga
Watched this yesterday in 4DX . Highly recommend it. After the first hour my initial worries about where the movie was going went away and ultimately just applauded the scale on which Miller went with the world building and capturing that feel of the old Mad Max movies.
It’s another fantastic George Miller classic.
Go see it. It if succeeds, George can make another one.
Literally the single most wholesome TH-cam thumbnail I have seen all year.
Obviously, as you can't figuratively see a thumbnail, but thank you for specifying
It must’ve been really relaxing for Rich being able to wear his normal clothes and iconic hat for this review :)
I interpreted the fact that they showed clips from fury road at the end of this movie as a subtle way of solidifying an intended viewing order (fury road before furiosa)
When Rich mentioned the mad max game it gave nostalgia of his pre rec sessions with Jack. Good times 😢
It's nice to see Jay taking his grandma out to the movies
Mad Max films are the cinematic equivalent of camp fire stories
I'm picturing a starving, dehydrated, bleeding, exhausted and ragged camp leader collapsing halfway through the first act.
Beetlejuice was the first time Alec Baldwin was on a film set with dead people. Sadly, it wouldn't be the last time though.
ouch
I hope they keep this Dunkster guy around, he brings some much needed youthful energy and perspective to Redlettermedia.
If you combine Furiosa and Fury Road and see it as one big movie, it makes for an amazing picture when u think about it. The slightly slower paced Furiosa with its character intros and world building, and then Fury Road acting as the bombastic final act of this magnum opus.
Saw Furiosa, grabbed some lunch, went home, and popped that Fury Road disc in.
Can confirm: it's a great double bill. Furiosa sets it all up, Fury Road knocks em all down.
It's like furiosa is act 1 and 2 and fury road the finale. It's perfect imo.
So it's not BABE but it's BABE PIG IN THE CITY
That's what really struck me as greatest about the film: The visual worldbuilding. Not just with amazing costumes, makeup, sets, etc. But revealing the world THROUGH THE STUNTS especially. I just loved that happening throughout the film. All the little details of how things are cobbled together.
I was reminded of kill bill 1/2 too. Especially when the number 5 act marker hit and I couldn't help but think of the Bride's list.
I think the implication with the end credits is that the events of Fury Road happened basically right afterwards. Max saw Furiosa on the ridge right before taking off and crashing, she takes the wives, gets in the truck and then Fury Road goes down. They just really wanted to drive it home that Anya Taylor Joy is meant to be Charlize Theron in this exact moment
Max has short hair in this
The whole "getting out of prison and doing coke and hookers" line is really gonna hit hard for Rekieta
Oof.
Damn, literally everyone has heard about Rackets falling off
Geez this story is EVERYWHERE
Balldo’s Gate
Oh so this is how I find out lol
George Millers criticism of the Mad Max game was that it "wasn't as good as he wanted it to be" and ""I'm one of those people that I'd rather not do something unless you can do it at the highest level" which is pretty tame and I think fits with the reception the game got. It was generally considered decent enough but not a top tier game.
Problem is, if George wants that top tier game it basically has to be completely out of WB’s hands; there’s absolutely no way he’ll get the banger he wants out of a post-Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League/Mortal Kombat 1 WB Games.
EDIT: That said I really liked the Mad Max game’s car combat; even if the gameplay loop was mind-numbing towards the end it always felt impactful. The hand to hand combat being more frantic and wrestling-based was a welcome divergence from the flowy style in Arkham/AssCreed too.
You can boil it down to: he wants the new game to be better. Don't we all?
(And I loved that we got a good one in 2015)
That game had some truly great aspects but needed worked out more overall.
@@JoeSixThreeOh The main problem the Mad Max game devs had with George Miller's comment was that they initially pitched an open-world game, but received criticism from above and were directed into developing a linear game. Along with that they were forced to release the game the same day as MGS5, got blamed for the bad sales, and then had a bunch of DLC that was sitting and ready to go cancelled as a result. Seems like the devs issue is that Miller is disingenuous to place the blame entirely on the game studio when their own work was troubled and stifled by the involvement of those higher up either on the film side, or WB.
To quote the developer, "After the first year of development they realized that they had forced us to make a linear experience rather than the open world game we pitched. We threw away a year of work and got to hear that "players wants autonomy in this day and age" Well, no shit..."
@@DoctorSmurfo I've been replaying the game recently (and I had completely forgotten about the upcoming Furiosa release, as the cherry on top) and ironically I think reigning in the mid-2010s open-world craze has helped the game age much better than some of it's contemporaries. You _can_ wander around and do whatever you want for as long as you like, but it's entirely possible to just go with the story without feeling too disadvantaged. And not being able to simply drive directly to the 'endgame' makes it feel like they were compelled to put some meat on the bone of the story, which I think is surprisingly good.
And in 2024, where so many movies and videogames have this "haha ain't I so whacky and zany" unserious attitude towards themselves, it was also refreshing to go back to a game where, even though the world itself might be over-the-top, the people living within the world (and the devteam making it) take themselves seriously
Approximately 880 theaters have pulled this from showings after just two weeks. Such a depressing shame.
Demento was pretty good at actually warlording though; he immediately takes over gas town and basically does the same with the bullet farm. He just has no ability to manage them once he does.
Saw this movie at the late showing last night. Then they post this a few hours later. Now I don't have to wait to know how I felt about it. Thanks Mike and Jay
I havent seen a Mad Max film, but I've seen seventeen Italian rip-offs. Does that count?
I dated an an Italian girl named Furiosa. It was on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday…
Only if you're Australian. I just looked at the numbers on Wikipedia. Think they'd all prefer an Italian rip off.
Name all 17 of them so that I can also watch them
“Bad Max” is actually a character in the biker movie “Stone,” which features a lot of Mad Max alumni. Some speculate that that’s where George got the idea for the name.
Surprised to hear this level of praise with how you felt on Rogue One. I thought this came directly from the school of "answering questions that didn't need to be answered"
