Description

This week! Leading up to this year's release of the Mad Max prequel Furiosa, we look at George Miller's 2015 magnum opus, Mad Max: Fury Road. We also take the opportunity to use the film to describe a disturbing trend in American life. Since it's nadir in 2011, fatalities and injuries due to reckless and dangerous driving have skyrocketed.




We look into some of the reasons why, and remind ourselves of one of the last good moments in human history in 2015 before we drove ourselves right into the a worse dystopia than Max himself. At least they had flaming guitars!
