'Furiosa' Reaction: More 'Mad Max' Mayhem | The Big Picture | Ringer Movies 

This video era of the Big Picture is the greatest decision this entire company has ever made

“Dementus feels out of step with the rest of the movie, which is trying to be more serious.” We’re talking about the movie with characters named Erectus and Scrotus?

Sean mixing up bullet farm and gas town hurt me .10%

There is no better feeling than seeing an interesting movie opening night and driving home with my wife listening to ya’ll and going ‘ooo’ or ‘that’s what I thought too.’ Best podcast ever.

I am watching this immediately after seeing the movie and I can’t believe how many basic details of the plot Sean gets wrong

Spoiler........ I think Sean is confusing a scene. When Praetorian Jack and Furiosa have the scene with her with the sniper rifle they are at the bullet farm trying to load up on bullets. They do not know that the bullet farm was taken over by Dementus. The scene with them getting gas is a different scene.

I feel like the wisecracky almost immersion-breaking goofiness of Chris Hemsworth was actually exactly the point of his character. He seems to entirely check the self-serious weightiness of road war and what you’re left with in its absence is a kind of existentialist absurdity? Like this guy is basically just a normal guy who gets bored and does evil shit because he just has to do SOMETHING, not because he has a tragically sealed motivation or because he’s some essence of evil incarnate. There’s a bathos and a mundanity to his wrongdoing that actually really works in that it forces Furiosa’s character to reconsider basically her entire character motivation and driving force because of how much it utterly does not seem to matter to Dementus. I think it actually really enriches the ultimate message of hope and striving for something more beyond the Wasteland, and is by far the coolest villain I think the franchise has seen

WITNESS THE POD. LITERALLY.

Is Fennesy growing Logan chops for Deadpool & Wolverine?

If the lack of catharsis at the end is a criticism, then I think there’s a sore misunderstanding (especially following the themes of Years of Longing) about how much this film is about the tragic futility of myth, vengeance, and the desire for resolution in a literal wasteland.

Not sure I connect to their grousing over Hemsworth's performance. He's allowed to do something new and after 5 movies probably should. I thought that aspect of the movie was refreshing.

Bad Times at the El Royale is a good example of Hemsworth playing a villain

I searched this channel up in hopes of finding the video version of this show and was in no way disappointed

I think Furiosa is an excellent movie because it’s more on the Three Thousand Years of Longing route, about telling stories. George Miller makes the case of telling this character’s story by only showing scenes where she is present-it’s a perspective tale that comes with the caveat that Furiosa doesn’t want to tell her story, but it is such a good one that Miller wants to rescue it and give it to the world, that is why he adds the narration in the end. So it’s like “The Book of Furiosa”, five chapters, and Fury Road is the big epilogue.

35:35 was listening to the audio version but had to see the video for this moment 😭

How did they completely miss the tragedy of Dementus when he has an entire monologue explaining it at the very end of the movie? To call that wisecracking is pretty reductive.

With so many story mistakes, Sean really needed to see the movie again

Sports Movie Draft and you all have to draft a sports movie about Football, basketball, baseball, hockey & boxing + WC. Do it!

My one push-back (from a stellar conversation) re: Dementus' cartoonish portrayal being somewhat out of place in the Mad Max world - the war boys. Nearly every Fury Road scene in which a war boy is prominently featured elicits a chuckle.

Love having the video option

I love the live feed of your show! I can watch the movie and watch you guys after!! 🎉

1. Fury Road 2. The Road Warrior 3. Furiousa 4. Mad max 5. Beyond Thunder dome

Chris is the villain in bad times at the el Royale

Crazy how people have completely forgotten about "Bad Times at the El Royale" one of Hemsworth's best performance

Sean Thunderdome gave us "2 men enter 1 man leave" 1. Fury Road 2. Road Warrior 3. Thunder dome 4. Furiosa 5. Mad Max

Are you moving studios?

The silly winking grandeur of the title cards feels almost Wes Anderson-esque to me. 20:55

The Watch & House of R video pods soon hopefully 🙏

Loved it more than fury road on first watch. The world building and story over the years of her life was really cool. After second watch, I don’t think furiousa was better, But it was a great movie. I feel like your jaw is on the floor the whole time during fury road, and furiousa has those moments. But furiousas moments didn’t have the same aww bc we experienced so much of it with fury road. I think that if furiousa came out before fury road , it changes a lot and makes me curious how people would rate these films

To the Citadel!!! Lets party!!!!

41:07 sean’s referencing the bullet farm ambush but keep saying gastown

It was Mad Max as some Greek/Roman epic

A summer movie finally in 2024.

Nah no way they’re even comparing The Fall Guy to this - I switched it off during the unbearable Emily Blunt scene where she’s making him redo the shot and simultaneously calling him out during the Alien Fight. In no universe was that more fun than Furiosa - blasphemous take.

I would honestly love if they tried giving some other post-apocalyptic road-based environments a shot, like other deserts, cuz there's a lot of cool-looking unique deserts out there, or flat open spaces with roads that you can make fantastic Mad Max movies in. Something which is a noticeable problem in Furiosa because they shot it in the Australian bushland, but painted out all the backgrounds with CGI to make it look like the Namibian desert, which is frustrating as hell, it ruins the great practical work they did. Tbf Namibia was a tough shoot, but it'd be cool if they tried just putting Mad Max in different landscapes to have road/vehicular wars on

The weay they forgot about Bad Times at the El Royale re: Hemsworth villains

Finally the finger verse pods on RU-vid. Can you upload to RU-vid music too please as podcasts. Also, I need The Town and Midnight blue video feed too please

14:37 didn’t drake call himself a Warlord or something recently lol

Binge Mode: Aeneid lfg!

Damn BOBBY 🔥

1:10:41... 2024 BP quote nominee

I think people who would criticize this film truly hasn’t seen it with an iq over 78 ..

Idont think ive ever watched Mad max movies.

Dobbins talking about colonizers when she fetishizes monarchy 🤢

half a dozen episodes before everyone realises dobbins hates on everything that isn't rom com

4:49 You can’t just use the same wide shot you used in the previous episode when there were 3 people in the frame.

Fury Road would've done better in the Box office if it didn't have to compete with that garbage known as Jurassic World.

Putting my name down on the petition in support of the Aeneid Pod. Really interested to see if Sean and Amanda think it fits in the anti-war Epic poem about War canon, a notoriously tough needle to thread

no one mentioned how sexy ATJ as Furiosa was?????!!!

I think Miller wanted to make this movie because he was soured on his experience with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron and wanted to go back to this world without recasting Max or working with Theron again, hence, prequel.

Just still very weird to put a face to the voices after years of following the pid ast

Is doof in it?

These movies have always been part silly, part camp, part absurd, with colorful and atypical villains. I don’t understand this take that Mad Max has historically been this like gravely serious drama and Chris Hemsworth somehow tainted the purity of that. The same franchise where a henchman’s fingers are severed by a boomerang and everyone laughs? The same franchise with the over the top Jason Voorhees meets Arnie Schwarzenegger arch villain The Humungus? The same franchise that’s home to the Doof Warrior, the compulsively nipple-rubbing People Eater, the assless chapped mohawk maniac, and bad guys such as Rictus Erectus, Scrotus, and Master Blaster? Even Immortan Joe has these little moments, I think, of quiet comedic delivery and ridiculousness. You may not like Dementus, obviously a valid opinion, but the revisionist history of the whole franchise, contrasted with Furiosa to suggest it’s an outlier or somehow jumped the shark by veering into the comedic, that’s more a factual error.

Me hood

Love tour resuable water bottle, Amanda ❤️

Bad Boys For Life but it's Sean and Zach loving and defending Babylon

Fine art? ehhh no

Sean with the beard is kinda 👀

Dobbins in Davy Jones makeup playing the organ when?

Sean needs to shave.

Too much CGI. Cool story. Awesome Motorcycle chariot. I will see it again and I would rank it alongside Beyond Thunderdome. A fourth place Tie.

No I can't. I can't continue. "One of the best movies of the century". Fury Road. Nope.

You guys just shit on the MCU every single podcast. It's just tiresome at this point.

Why does Amanda have major Elliot/Ellen Page energy in this episode with the outfit and the hair?

Can you get more annoying than these two 😂 holy shit!

Why do media respects George Miller so much? These movies are not more respectable than the Fast and Furious movies or the Michael Bay movies...

she can't even sit at a table correctly. you are off-center to the camera. The Ringer should change it's name to the Washington Generals

A “Max Max” movie without Mad Max. Instead?… a girl boss, OF COURSE. Sigh. Die, Hollywood, and hurry up.

As usual, Dobbs offers NOTHING. Please just make the Big Pic Fennessey and CR

One of the worst Big Pic pods of all time wow
