Melanie Ashe (Monash PhD student) joins Flick in studio to discuss the guzzoline-fuelled relentless romp that is FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA.
Investigating the significance of place and land in the MAD MAX universe, Flick and Melanie delve into the history behind mining sites and how they're often used as a shooting location for an array of different films, and how these resonate within the mythology of the MAD MAX narrative.
“Taylor-Joy pops against the dirt and grime and the ochre desert, against the grotesque Australian masculinity that has long been the series' gleeful stock in trade.” - Luke Goodsell, ABC
