This is a game that took over my 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:07.480 life for a large chunk of its release window, and folks, 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.160 I think it might happen again. Story trailer was dropped 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.120 on a couple days ago yesterday. We're filming this on Wednesday, 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.560 May twenty. Second came out yesterday, Rosie.

I'm finally catching 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.720 up on the fantasy games that I have failed. Boulders 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.480 Gate is finally happening, much to the happiness of all 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.000 of my friends, and this will be my reason to 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.239 play elder Ring. Literally, I was so obsessed with Diablo 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.760 for last year that like every other game just went 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.960 out the window. So this will be this will be 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.040 good for me. I'm very excited. It looks very scary 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.080 and fantastical, and I love to have like a giant 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.359 sword and stuff. So I'm sure i'll be I'm sure 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.520 i'll be very frustrated, and I'll probably get through like 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.320 thirteen percent of the game. But I have a lot 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.160 of fun playing it. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:03.280 Yeah, lots of Tanta, hints at the expansion of some war, 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:12.160 new relationships for potentially MICHAELA, seven new characters, what looks 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.640 to be a new portion of the map. 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:15.840 Very very excited. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:22.079 DLC comes out June twenty first, stay tuned because it's 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.640 it's gonna be very very bad for my ability to work. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.600 You will hear a lot about it on the podcast You. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.799 Will up next Rosie teas did. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.360 Greg Boolo returns to Marvel for a new Wolverine series 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.360 with Jonathan Hickman. Woo. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.600 The crowd goes mad. So all year Greg Coppolo had 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.440 been like teasing a little bit and it kind of 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.880 hinted at Wolverine, and then they announced the new Wolverine 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.040 team and he wasn't on it, and everyone was like, oh, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.040 we got pranked by our comic book uncle, but no. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.280 Greg Coppolo has finally revealed, thanks to an exclusive at Polygon, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.160 that he will be drawing Wolverine in a limited series 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.120 with Jonathan Hickman that promises to pit Wolverine against a 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.240 cardurra of foes who will turn his world upside down. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.640 He's beaten, he's been bloodied, and Logan only has one 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.000 thought on his mind. Revenge. The cover is extremely nice, easy, 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.520 He's standing in the mouth of like a t Rex. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.680 The logo is great. Capolo told Polygon. I finally returned 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.680 home to Marvel, and I'm ready to raise some hell. 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.560 And who better to do that with than the hitman Hickman. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.599 I love that. I don't know if there's ever been 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.760 a name before, but it's the most great Capilo thing 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.120 of all time. I love it to celebrate Marvel has 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.400 removed the fences and let us off our leash so 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.640 that we can bring the most vicious and punishing Wolverine 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.760 story possible to fans this summer. I hope they're prepared. Okay, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.040 this is also the thing our Discord users were really 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.760 excited about, is this is going to be another one 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.599 of the Red Band comics where that will be poly 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.560 bagged and there'll be a version that will be like 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.520 an R rated like extra Blood, Extra Gore, and that's 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.760 been really popular recently. I think it's during the Blood 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.560 Hunt rain. There's been a lot of Discord users who've 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.359 loved that. So yeah, I think this is great. I 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.560 love Gregor, Greg Copulo and Paul mcfallan. I that like 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.200 my comic book dads. I just love you, So I'm excited. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.800 I also, I think the Hickman collab is really interesting 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.320 because that means this isn't just gonna be some nineiest throwback. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:14.640 I agree. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.480 It struck me as like not the creative team that 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.840 one would immediately expect, especially if you're thinking Hickman, you're 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.120 certainly not thinking Capulo. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.000 But I think that's what's so exciting about it, even. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.440 You know what, I'm not even thinking Hickman for Wolverine, 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.839 Like that's not It seems like such a smaller palette 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:42.680 than what you expect of Hickman's, certainly Hickman's work recently, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.240 so that I'm really excited to see where it goes 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:49.720 with this because Hickman it's just a weirdo. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:55.240 Just way, so I like this could be really this 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.520 could be one of those mini series that people are 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.520 reading in trades for like decades, and it's always fun 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.840 when you're around when those are coming out in single issues. 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.280 Up next, a new exclusive clip from The Acolyte has 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.720 been released, showing. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:14.080 More of the action style, the very like. 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:21.400 Hong Kong ish John Wick ish action style that seems 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.800 like it's gonna be a hallmark of this series, which 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.520 we'll release on June fourth on Disney. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.360 Plus your thoughts about this clip. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.880 I mean, it looks so good. I'm so happy for 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.440 Amandlas Stemberg because I feel like you must be so 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.440 stoked to take this role because the action choreography is unbelievable. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.480 And something I think is really interesting here is we 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.880 see Lee Jung Jay his character Master Soul, and he's 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.000 fighting May. But the thing is we're seeing a Jedi 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.839 here who are more composed and powerful than we've ever seen. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.400 He is not scared at all. He is doing matrix 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.680 level like bullet time avoidance. And I think the casting 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.880 of carrying this movie as Indira is because this is 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.120 going to have a lot of that matrix Hollywood Hong 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.920 Kong combo kind of style because as she fights him, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.720 you know, and he says, you're fighting me without a weapon, 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.920 like why, And I think that we're really going to 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.080 get to see this kind of force fighting. I'm really excited. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.200 I think that it's air you're breathing right now. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:28.360 I also love, I really love Leslie Hedlund, and I 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.480 think that whatever we think this show is gonna be, 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.480 She's gonna make something completely different because Russian Doll is 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.880 legit like one of the weirdest best shows I've ever 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.400 seen if you haven't watched it on Netflix now. So yeah, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.120 I just think it looks amazing and I can't wait 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.080 to do it. I'm actually going to be doing the 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.560 junket for the show tomorrow for IGN, so I hopefully 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.320 will be coming back with some insight into the show. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.000 But yeah, can't wait. Looks great. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:59.280 Next up, disappointing frustrating news for fans of a Russian 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:04.920 dirt bear who kills rare animals, Craven the Hunter has 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.360 been pushed back for a third. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.360 Time Friday, December. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.120 That's in good luck fosts this. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.560 The original release date was January twenty twenty three, and 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.400 then it was pushback, push back to October twenty twenty three, 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.040 then August twenty twenty four, and now December twenty twenty four. 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.720 This is almost two years after the original release date. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.040 They're spinning it. They're spinning it as positive. 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.960 Yeah, Producertok said, quote Craven moved to Christmas because we're 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.920 excited about it, and Christmas is the best release period 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.520 there is when you get people with time to go 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.840 back to the movies over and over again. That was 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.960 a real reflection of how the studio felt about the movie. 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.319 We're really excited. But that's a great move that reflects 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.720 just the feeling about the movie. We wanted to delay 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.959 it for a third time. It just shows how excited 0:08:59.000 --> 0:08:59.959 we are about it. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.800 I feel like this is either secretly like a fantastic 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.960 movie unlikely, or this is like a Cats level miss mistake, 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.840 because because if you recall fans of Cats and the 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.400 Star Wars universe, they decided Universal decided to open Cats 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.360 against Star Wars at Christmas because they were like, it's counterprogramming. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.280 It didn't work. I'm guessing they've moved it to Christmas 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.120 because there's they're probably scared of Deadpool Depool comes out 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.080 in July depul Wolverine, so that will have long legs. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.160 And they're moving it to Christmas because I don't know 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.280 what the big Christmas releases are this year because that's 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.599 like a different world away. But I think this is 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.960 hilarious and I love the idea that they think people 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.720 are going to go and see it time and time again. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.160 Was this because once again they were surprised that Madam 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.120 Webb became the number one Netflix movie and they were like, oh, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.280 maybe we should release it again like morebeus. I don't know, 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:52.679 but this is hilarious and I love it. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:53.800 Uh. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.160 Finally exciting vague x Men use. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:02.200 According to Deadline, the X Men movie is gaining momentum 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:08.640 over at the studio that houses the MCU quote following 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.880 the success of its animated series x N ninety seven 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:11.520 Marvel Studios. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:12.520 It's now ramping things. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.520 Up on its live action X Men movie with Hunger Games, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.680 The Ballad of Songwords at Snakes scribe Michael Leslie in 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.760 negotiations to pen the movie. So this is what I 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.880 love about Listen. I read the entire article because anything 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.240 that says X Men movie, I'm gonna read that. Said, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.760 the news here is that the project has quote gain 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:39.439 momentum because a screenwriter has almost agreed to do it, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.920 literally has not quite yet agreed to do it, but 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:44.840 may soon. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:46.840 Nevertheless, we are excited. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.040 Yes we want an x Men movie. Will this guy 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.800 be the guy who writes it? Who knows that the 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.199 last of five screenwriters? But you know what, that was 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.720 a time when the MCU couldn't even make it an 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.600 x Men movie, So I'm taking it as a win. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.480 Up next, we let the winds take us to the 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.120 Wasteland woo as we step out of the airline to 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:05.400 talk about furios. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.240 Set in the eighteen years leading up to George Miller's 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.400 groundbreaking Fury Road. Furiosa tells the tale of the titular 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.480 would be Imperator from her days as a kidnapped child 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.439 in the wasteland, living under the wrathful eye of the 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.080 evil Dementus, played with much screen chewing a plum by 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.640 Chris EM's shoeing chew shoeing, chewing chewing all the way 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.240 to the literal events of Fury Road. It's a wild 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.560 wide through the wasteland that showcases the gorilla filmmaking skills 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.160 of Miller and the acting chops of his cast. Furiosa 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.280 had an intriguing path to the screen, originating as a 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.760 screenplay that was actually finished before Fury Road was even made, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.800 then given to the cast and crew as a way 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.400 to build out the world. At one point the screenplay 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.280 was going to be an anime series. You might have 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.920 seen the leaked images from that. And actually one of 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.240 the things that I learned, I spoke to George Miller 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.760 at screening at the Imax, said cause, and he actually 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.160 said that there was one thing that made it from 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.120 the anime, which is the Teddy Bear that Dementus wears 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.400 on his chest. That was like the one thing that 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.280 had been that had made it through from the anime version. 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.560 And eventually it was made into a big screen movie, 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.240 you know, coming out nine years after Fury Road, and 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.480 that is the form that we will be getting it 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.160 in wide release weekend. Jason, what did you think of 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:33.680 the movie? 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:41.520 I thought it was an exciting and very much in 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.200 the world sequel prequel to Mad Max Fury Road. It 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:50.000 felt almost more akin to the first two Road Warrior 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.720 movies than Furiosa in a lot of ways, in terms 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.200 of the action, in terms of the scope, in terms 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.200 of the way it dealt with its characters. But if 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.120 you love listen, if you love Eroding, all the furios, because. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:04.440 It was all there. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:11.640 They're incredible action, the weird stakes, the like funny slapstick 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.120 like almost Charlie Chaplin esque moments that happened, and just like. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.360 Action that you're like, I don't know how he did this. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.120 Yeah, I can't believe that fifty people didn't die making 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:23.600 this movie. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.080 It was just like it blows up. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.240 I feels like that. Yeah, it's it's completely wild. I 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.480 find it. As soon as it started, I was like, Oh, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.880 this man does not care if this movie is successful. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.360 Like it starts with like a chapter break, and then 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:44.040 like a weird like Jodarowski esque like spinning scene with 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:49.200 like an old man doing like narration. It's like unbelievably weird, 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.120 and that really won me over, And yeah, I enjoyed 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.120 it thoroughly. I just thought, I think the thing I 0:13:55.160 --> 0:14:00.440 like the most about it was it felt like there 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.640 wasn't any kind of care for the rules of like 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.240 franchise filmmaking. It didn't feel like you'd seen a prequel 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.000 and you had to make it like another prequel. It 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.120 didn't feel like he was particularly worried about making it accessible. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.600 It didn't feel like he was like, Oh, I wonder 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.400 if people who like Fury Road are gonna like this 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.440 because Fury Road is set over like three days. In 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.240 this movie is set over eighteen years, and it's just 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.520 pacing wise, like completely different kettle offish, Like you have 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.160 an your Taylor Joy is only in the movie for 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.240 like half the movie. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:33.520 She is up for an hour. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.800 She doesn't show up for at least an hour. You 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.400 have a liar Brown who plays young Furiosa, who's so 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:45.680 fantastic and who gets to really grow and showcase the 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:50.080 journey Furiosa goes on. It's also incredibly gory. I'm sure 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.120 that Fury Road was. I've seen it so many times, 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.960 but I think that action kind of took focus. But 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.920 people are getting like torn apart in this movie, Like 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.560 it's it's gruesome. I'm I'm wondering if it will be 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.120 the blockbuster hit Warner Brothers wants it to be. I 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.320 want it to be that, but I do think it's 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.320 incredibly weird for like a Hollywood blockbuster. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.760 I mean, I suspect it will be certainly the at 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.560 the screening, Eye was at the reception and you you know, 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:18.880 so would be careful with these things. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.880 Was electric. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:26.640 People were cheering film. I do think, you know, summer 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.760 is the time for action, and this is like a 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.120 Walt Wall not quite as walts Wall as Fury Road, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:37.200 but a Walt Wall action movie. And I think the 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.960 other interesting thing to me, which will I think be 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.320 really interesting to fans of the series, is this film 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:53.120 does more to establish the lore and the context for 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.360 the Wasteland then almost I need to go back and 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:01.479 watch all of the movies in the series, but basically 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.080 more than any other film in this series, you learn 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.640 about the different citadels of the of the Wasteland, the 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.800 different fortresses wait to each other. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.240 Yeah, how we got to this place? And that was 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.000 another thing that shocked me where I was kind of 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.480 like WHOA, Like you really, I think he sees this 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.440 movie as a chance to build out this world that 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.040 he's been telling stories in for like fifty years, because 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.680 you're right, I feel like tonally this is actually closer 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.240 to the older Mad Max movies, but also it does 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.760 build out the law in a way that we've never 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.040 seen before. Like you learn so much, Joelle, just before 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.880 we were we came on and side recording was saying 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.240 to me her biggest takeaway was like, it adds so 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.920 much context and impact to Fury Road that when you 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.480 watch Fury Road again, you're gonna be like, oh, fuck, 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.800 like now I know these things, which I think is 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.960 huge because a lot of times a sequel can actually 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.440 a prequel can actually weaken the impact of the original movie. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.320 But I do you feel like here they work equally 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.119 well as separate entities, but when you put them together, 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:10.400 you are getting an emotional core and a contextual kind 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.600 of landscape that does add to both versions, and it 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.320 was fun. It's I think as well. He's not afraid 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.400 to just introduce a new character or introduce an old 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.200 character and not do the kind of mcuification of like a, oh, 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.800 it's a cameo, or or oh, here's an explanation of 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.760 who this character is. He's like, no, here's just like 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.920 a scary, terrifying character. Do you remember them from Fury Road. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.480 If not, here's a reason to be terrified, you know. 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.000 And I like the way he doesn't He trusts the audience. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:44.960 If you loved Rictus Rectus from Man Max Fury Road, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.960 guess what you get to meet his brother scabrous scrotus. 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.480 Oh he's the worst. I'm a hate. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:59.360 And that overall kind of subtext of like big dumb dudes, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.640 big dumb dudes and all the dumb shit they do 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:10.040 that is still here in as trenchet as ever in Furiosa. 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:11.920 I mean going. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.320 I was watching The Road Warrior before Furious, and then 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:20.040 I watched some a Thunderdome and you know, I guess 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.800 when I was younger, it just went over my head, 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.880 like these the commentaries on like the big muscly dumb guy, 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:33.760 Like that's one of George Miller's absolute favorite, like pincushions 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.520 is the big dumb guy with the microphone. 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:37.720 He loves. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:42.040 He loves to make that guy look scary and ridiculous. 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.000 Yeah, and there's no one better. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.320 Yeah. I also, really, I just love the fact and 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.159 obviously this is context outside of the movie, but it 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.240 still just blows my mind that the man who made 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.440 this movie is like the man who made Babe or 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.280 the man who made Fury Round is the man who 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.920 made Happy Feet Like that to me is and I 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.320 love the nature of his filmmaking. And I also like 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.760 the fact that his radical kind of filmmaking can have 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.840 an impact on people in real life. Because the guy 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:17.119 who played the Farma in A Babe, he became a 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.560 vegan after being Babe, after making Babe, and then became 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:27.840 like a very quite radical direct action environmental activist. And 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.280 I'm like, would that have happened if Babe had been 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.000 directed by anyone else? I don't know. I don't know. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.879 I feel like that's George Miller's funny impact on that 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:37.679 kid's movie. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.639 You know, it's funny speaking of Miller. I mean we 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:44.280 were talking before we start recording. You were noting the 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:51.960 kind of gentle, urbane grandpa, like very very intelligent grandpa 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.080 vibe that George Miller puts out. He strikes me as 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.280 someone like like if you didn't know who he was 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.439 and someone said, oh, that used to be be like 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:04.879 the ambassador to Spain, you'd be like, Okay, that makes sense. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:12.920 And the juxtaposition of his very gentle, very keenly intelligent 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.040 persona with this, like with these films that have the 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.879 energy of just like a little kid like crashing toys together, like. 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.640 This is like cramy gorilla filmmaking. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.600 It's like crazy to me because like that's really the 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.520 energy of these movies Furiosa and Mad Max, fur Your 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:33.119 Road and to a different extent, the previous Road Warrior 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:37.040 Mad Max movies is like part of what's great about 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.160 them is it's just that feeling of when you first 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.840 got action figures as a kid. Yeah, and you just 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:45.520 started throwing them on. 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:46.800 The ground or throwing. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.280 Them against the wall and putting them in the microwave 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:50.159 or whatever it was. 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.639 Yeah, Like you got a Bobby and you're like, you know, 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.080 trying it the Bobby. What if the Bobby took drugs? 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:56.639 Like you know, You're like, you'll okay, You're like, what 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.040 if I cut all the Bobby's hair off? That's Furiosa, 0:20:59.080 --> 0:20:59.240 you know. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.600 And it's it's so weird to square that with every 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.919 interview I've ever seen of George Miller, where he's just 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:11.560 a very very laid back, smart, well dressed normal dude. Yeah, okay, 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:16.240 do you want to do a box office prediction? Furiosa 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:17.639 opening weekend will do? 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:17.879 What? 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:18.920 Oh? 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.840 Okay? I So I'm going to go on the optimistic 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.920 side because I do feel like in this place where 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.320 we are right now, I think Firosa in the US, 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.680 I think it will open to like forty five mil. 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.280 Okay, that's about on track with I believe that's what 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:36.040 uh Fury Road did. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:37.399 I like that'd be. 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.080 I think it's Look, it's R rated. I know in 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.280 America that's kind of a weird thing because you can 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:43.520 take kids to go and see an R. 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.120 Here's let me let me just stop there. 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.240 Yeah, kids can get an R movies exactly, but they 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.760 do you know, the people that work at the movie theaters. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:55.640 It's not like the TSA, you know what. 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.760 I mean exactly, But you can just get any adults 0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.879 to buy a ticket. And I just need to tell you. 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.040 In England you don't understand how much you guys, how 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.200 lucky you are. They will literally like make you take 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:07.239 your passport to prove that you can go to an 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.760
