WITNESS ME! (listen to the pod) PLEASE WITNESS ME!
The Mad Max Saga continues with what may be the greatest long-gap/legacy sequel of all time: MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Max is back to begrudgingly help save the day with some new friends... Imperator Furiosa, Toast the Knowing, Cheedo the Fragile, Nux... we have all these characters. Furiosa must free the enslaved wives of the vicious warlord Immortan Joe by driving the fury road and also Max is there.
Is this one of the greatest action movie of all time? "Imperator" Chantel joins us to talk about her favourite movie franchise and the miracle of action spectacle filmmaking that is FURY ROAD. And she'll be joining us again next week to talk about the new Mad Max film FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA

BONUS: Unfrosted (2024) (with Gwen and Valerie)

Surprise! A very special... or should I say Jerry special bonus episode because we're talking Jerry Seinfeld's feature directorial debut UNFROSTED. Should I say that? Should I say "or should I say Jerry special bonus episode? Email us at [email protected] (and follow us @thefranchisees on Instagram and Twitter)
We are joined by two very special guests and expert Seinfeldologists, Gwen and Valerie. This episode was Gwen's suggestion and The Franchisees accepted the challenge: to watch UNFROSTED with a glimmer of hope in your heart that it might possibly be good. Turns out it's dogshit! That's right Jerry, dogshit!
Don't get us wrong though... this isn't merely some roast of Seinfeld the man. We share our fond childhood memories of Seinfeld the show and how influential it was in forming our collective sense of humour.
UNFROSTED will not be influential because it sucks.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is next, witness it (with us and another special guest)

Next Episode

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) (with "Praetorian" Chantel)

The Mad Max Saga comes to a close (for now) with FURIOSA, the highly anticipated action epic that serves as a prequel and world-building expansion to 2015's FURY ROAD. Does it live up to its predecessor or fall short of expectations? Does it add much to the Mad Max universe or is it merely Fury Road DLC? How does it stack up to the sickest of all Dr. Miller's works, LORENZO'S OIL? All these questions and more will be answered in this podcast, broadcast straight from the Wasteland of Toronto, Ontario.
"Praetorian" Chantel joins us again for a deep dive into the post-apocalyptic Australian outback. The first hour has us reviewing the Neil Young show and talking about some recent movies we've seen. The back half is all Furiosa talk.
Join us next week as we pay tribute to a fallen soldier of documentary filmmaking: Immorgan Spurlock. We'll be watching his seminal SUPER SIZE ME and its sequel.
