In the Movies... Ep. 29: Mad Max: Fury Road & Reboots, Remakes, and Sequels


Tish and Juliana talk about Mad Max: Fury Road and reboots, remakes, & sequels. An anomaly amidst a growing sea of mediocre franchise movies, Mad Max: Fury Road is a favorite of ours that we love to talk about. We explore the causes & effects of the current epidemic of unoriginal movies taking over our cinemas. (Spoiler: It's all about the Benjamins, baby.)
