XVII – ‘Furiosa’, the PopTart Movie, and Tangents
Manage episode 433951409 series 3036324
George Miller can’t make yet another great Mad Max movie, right? Wrong. He can and he did. And we hope he makes them forever.
As we catch up on movies we’ve seen, one of them was Unfrosted. There’s a deep analysis of Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut (and its Goo Monster), followed by some light praise of a movie that is memorably bad and worth seeing for its cringe.
Plus, talk of Morgan Spurlock, South Park, Inside Out 2, the growing trend of film entitlement, and how our machine overlords are destroying our lives through our phones.
