#062 – Mad Max: Fury Road and Cinematic Milestones

On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast:

One of our most anticipated movies of the Summer may have just become one of the best movies of the year. With levels of hype that seemed unachievable, Fury Road surpassed expectations and has become an incredible success. The film manages to not only be cinematically impressive, but has pleased audiences and critics while delivering a surprising amount of depth. Hard to imagine in modern day filmmaking, George Miller, using very little dialogue, tackles themes of equality, value, and societal direction. It all adds up to more than we could hope to talk about in one episode.
