Put the pedal to the metal and join us as we explore the world of Mad Max in comics and on screen! We talk about George Miller's one of a kind film series especially Fury Road before exploring the Mad Max: Fury Road comic book series that shows the origin stories for Nux and Immortan Joe plus prequel stories for Max and our featured character, Furiosa. We also speculate on what other stories we want to see from this universe in light of the new Furiosa film!

Grab your guzzoline and join us as we head to the post-apocalyptic world of George Miller's Mad Max on screen and in film (and video games!). We tell an (abbreviated) history of the franchise before discussing the 4-issue Fury Road comic book series (plus the collected addition only fifth story) that goes deeper into backstories for War Boy Nox, despot villain Immortan Joe, reluctant hero Max and the mysterious Furiosa who is getting her own film! We also speculate on why there haven't been more Mad Max comics and where else we'd like to see this franchise go.
