Case File 023: Furiosa (Mad Max: Fury Road)

Oh what a day! What a lovely day! We’re taking a look at Mad Max: Fury Road and opening a case file on one of our favorite modern antiheroes: Imperator Furiosa. Topics include: the setbacks previous iterations of this film faced during its two decade journey to the big screen, why the finished version may have benefited from those delays, behind the scenes tension between cast and crew, what the film can teach us about world building and visual storytelling, how it compares to previous Mad Max films, whether or not there’s any merit to the argument that Furiosa overshadows our title character, how we feel about the recently announced spin-off, what we’d like to see in further sequels, and much more!
