On this Month's episode of The Sociologist's Dojo Podcast, Dr. Maricio Quilpatay, Teaching and Curriculum Officer in the School of Languages and Culture at the University of Syndey and I are driving down the Fury Road to discuss George Miller's 2015 chaotic, chrome encrusted, cinematic cacophony Mad Max: Fury Road. Our conversation covers the topics of political allegories, masculinity, capitalistic validation and linguistic legitimacy. "WITNESS" this fantastic episode!
