Hey, I just wanted to comment on the discussion around Furiosa and revenge against Imortem Joe. I think it was implied that Furiosa was in the harem a lot longer than is dwelt on in this movie. When Joe buys her off Dementus it is explicitly discussed that she will be a wife for his sons. The wig making scene suggests that this is not the first time rictus has taken her. Her hair is longer with more beads than the earlier scene too. She is not jut referring to 5 minutes of negotiations

I believe that the fact that it was a prequel hurt it. Prequels suffer from not being able to truly surprise you because you are pretty much guaranteed that if a character wasn't in the original then they will die in the prequel, and ultimately the story has to end in a way that just puts it at the beginning of the earlier movie. So it is just hard to get excited about a movie that we already know where it will end up. A Furiosa prequel movie means she will never truly be in danger because we know she survives to the next movie.

Not to be a downer on the only comment so far, but Dave mentions several times throughout the podcast that he's confused as to why it appears no one saw this movie, while simultaneously making several good arguments as to why it's a mediocre installment. I do wonder if the reasons he mentions are enough to deter people from going to see it.
