'Furiosa' Review and 77th Cannes Film Festival Recap

First, Sophia and Nick review Furiosa, George Miller’s latest adrenaline-fueled film and prequel to his previous masterwork, Mad Max: Fury Road. They debate if parallels between the two films work or not, including structure, visual effects, and performances, before predicting how it may do at next year’s Oscars. Then, they travel to La Croisette and discuss some of the biggest films out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival (25:25). With the 12 days of movie premieres and distributor deals wrapped up, they chat about all of the winners, from the Palme d’Or to the Palm Dog, and what they’re most excited to see. Is Anora already on its way to winning an Academy Award? Listen in and let us know what you think of all of the festival news!
