Mad Max: Fury Road came out in 2015 and was hailed by critics as a post-apocalyptic action masterpiece. Nat and Nina revisit the film, discussing the leather-clad, snake-grabbing, dudefully alone Mad Max, and the queer possibilities and pitfalls in this mystifying and chaotic movie franchise set in a post-apocalyptic Australia where despite gasoline being scarce, everyone loves to drive.
After listening, you can check out the articles we mentioned in this episode! Mad Max: Appropriation Road was recommended by a listener, and Mad Max: The Car and Australian Governance ties together discussions of masculinity, car culture, and indigeneity in Australia. Finally, the prison justice project Nat mentioned working for is called the Education Justice Project. It can be found at https://educationjustice.net/.
