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, check out the article Nina found on Indigenous Australian culture in Mad Max, Mad Max: Appropriation Road and the article on car culture in the film, Mad Max: The Car and Australian Governance. And the prison justice project where Nat mentioned working for is the Education Justice Project, which can be found at https://educationjustice.net/.
