- Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga -- Why is this film struggling at the box office?
Send us Fan Mail
It's been 9 years since George Miller's face-melting FURY ROAD changed cinema forever at the box office, and with no decline in quality, 2024's FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA is a very worthy prequel. It's been critically embraced, so why is it struggling at the box office?
Join Joe as he breaks down what might be the overarching problem with the film, why it's underperforming -- and why fans of Mad Max may have just seen the last of these films.
Joe will also discuss a few things to stream that are worth your time!
So buckle up and be a witness for a high-octane ride powered by pure guzzoline through the Gates of Valhalla. Do you have it in you to make this epic?Thank you for listening! You can find and follow us with the links below!
