It’s time for another edition of What We’re Watching. This time around we’re watching George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road. This might surprise you but we’ve actually discussed this film quite a bit here before. Shocking, right? Hey, at least we’re consistent with what we like, right?
Mad Max: Fury Road came out in 2015 and since that time the movie’s status and popularity have only grown. It’s an action-packed, thrilling ride boasting beautiful cinematography, a pulse pounding score by Junkie XL and exceptional performances by Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravits, the late Hugh Keays-Byrne and the rest of the cast and stunt performers.
Is it a perfect movie? No. Nothing’s perfect. But it comes pretty damn close. And sure, some people don’t like it or criticize the characters or story, but that’s just the nature of things. Some people hate cool stuff. Oh well. You can’t please everyone.
Two versions of the film are available. The original cut, in glorious color, and the ‘Black & Chrome‘ version, which is in beautiful black & white. As much as we love the original, the black & white version is a visual and stylistic treat, even with the absence of color.
The ‘Black & Chrome’ version is especially great if you’ve already seen the original once (or, in our case, ten or fifteen times) and want to experience the film in a new and highly stylized way. The absence of color doesn’t detract in any way from the enjoyment of the film, at least for us. Your mileage may vary. But heck, why not give it a try? You may love it.
If you haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road, you can remedy that situation right now. It’s available on multiple streaming platforms, Blu-ray and in 4K. Until then, check out the trailer for this amazing film below.
Have you seen Mad Max: Fury Road? If so, what did you think of the film? What else are you watching these days?
You’ve waited and you’ve waited and, well, you’ve waited some more. We’re sorry about that but, you know, things happen. At least we weren’t attacked by a bear. So there’s that.
The important thing to keep in mind now is: we’re back baby! Back with a brand new episode of The Flickcast!
You’re right, it is a great time to be alive.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe get right back into it with more discussion about Star Wars: Episode VIII, the X-Files, a Punisher TV series likely coming to Netflix, sexisim and racism in Hollywood and a whole lot more. No, don’t worry, the boys don’t get too political on this week’s episode. It’s just about the fun.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the film The Revenant, directed by Alejandro Iñárritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom hardy, and Joe’s pick of Aaron Trotter’s Brewery Playing Cards.

We did it. We got a new episode of The Flickcast done and out to you, our loyal listeners. We know we should have had one last week and we didn’t. Sorry about that.
It probably won’t happen again. Probably. And Aliens mostly come out at night. Mostly.
Anyway, on this week’s episode, Chris and Joe are back and a bit less angry than last time. That’s a good thing because they’re talking about a whole slew of potentially anger-inducing subjects this week including the current status of Rosario Dawson’s career, all the various TV show pickups and cancellations, Idris Elba vs. Tom Hardy and a whole lot more. Yep. More.

Not to brag, but we’ve been on a roll. It’s already April and we’ve given you new episodes of The Flickcast each and every week without fail. That’s pretty good, especially if you knew how lazy we actually are. But that’s a topic for a whole show.
Instead, on this week’s episode, Chris and Joe discuss and debate a whole bunch of stuff including the new Mad Max: Fury Road trailer and movie, the genius of George Miller, new Daily Show host Trevor Noah, Agents of SHIELD, The Flash, Arrow, Furious 7, Joe’s annoyance with the term “Millennial”and a whole lot more. Yes, there’s even more. We just can’t help ourselves.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and Joe’s pick of the book Jiro Gastronomy.

We’re back again with an all-new episode of The Flickcast. Be happy because it probably won’t last. But for now …
On this week’s show, Chris and Joe discuss and debate more Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn’s personality, upcoming TV series like Shutter Island and The Omen, Denzel Washington’s career and his upcoming Equalizer movie and the brand new season of Doctor Who.
Guess which of your favorite hosts liked the season premiere and which didn’t? Not that hard to figure out. Of course, that’s not all they talk about. There’s also the usual “more.”
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the just released D&D Player’s Handbook from Wizards of the Coast and Joe’s pick of the movie Locke, featuring Tom Hardy and a car.

After a week off for the 4th of July holiday, we’re back with a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And you thought we’d forgotten about you. Not likely.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe talk about a lot of different things, as usual. Some of these “things” include the recent Emmy nominations and the worst snubs, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the latest on Doctor Who, more on Guardians of the Galaxy and a bunch of other stuff.
Chris and Joe even make a bet on the opening weekend box office for Guardians. What did they think? Well, you’ll just have to listen to find out. Saw that coming, didn’t you?
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of director John Hillcoat’s Lawless and Joe’s pick of the wonderful, and sadly soon to be extinct, 35mm film.
As always, if you have comments, questions, critiques, offers of sponsorship, or whatever, feel free to hit us up in the comments, on Twitter, at Facebook, Google+ or via email.
In director John Hillcoat’s Lawless, written by Nick Cave and based on Matt Bondurant’s The Wettest County In The World, Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke play brothers who, shall we say, skirt the law in order to bring thirsty citizens the adult beverages they really want. Also in the movie, Guy Pearce plays a lawman who wants to end the party and Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Noah Taylor and Dane DeHaan make up the rest of the cast.
Based ont his cast, and from what we’ve seen so far, Lawless looks pretty darn good — even though it does have the LaBeouf in it. Now there’s a new, R-rated trailer for the movie out today and we’ve got it for you.
Look for Lawless to hit theaters on August 29th. Check out the trailer after the break.
It’s time for another edition of What We’re Watching. This time around we’re watching George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road. This might surprise you but we’ve actually discussed this film quite a bit here before. Shocking, right? Hey, at least we’re consistent with what we like, right?
