It's time we does the tell, so that we 'members the man who in the roar of an engine lost everything. A burnt-out, desolate man, who wandered out into the wasteland. It was there, in that blighted place, that he learned to live again. Witness us doing the tell, so we will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

While we have not yet had a chance to see the new movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024), it feels right to blaze into the Summer of Action by discussing the previous films in the series. Join us as we spend some time with Max. His time in the Interceptor with the Main Force Patrol, battling gangs in a world in decline in Mad Max (1979), to the post-apocalyptic mercenary loner, in search of gasoline in The Road Warrior (1981). And then from there, displaying moral fiber, placing himself in harm's way, showing compassion to protect a group of abandoned children in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and to assist a group of woman struggling to escape an oppressive regime in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).

Mentioned way back in Episode One of the podcast, one of Nicole's favorite horrors finally receives the featured treatment. Please don't tell Angela Bettis that it took us this long to get back to it.

If you can't find a friend, make one. Angela Bettis stars in writer/director, Lucky McKee's May (2002), delivering a charming, moving performance as an awkward young woman who seems to have a difficult time meeting and connecting with people. When she does meet someone new, she sometimes sees parts of them that are not particularly appealing, leading her to develop a solution to the problem. So many pretty parts, no pretty wholes.

There's always time for horror. Especially on Mother's Day! Even if your mom pretends or acts like she doesn't really care for horror, you know that she's only kidding. So kick back and listen as we discuss two of the most famous horror mothers in cinema history, and then go watch the movies with your mom!

Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) finds herself in a difficult position, after making an impulsive, even criminal decision. After stopping at a roadside motel, and a mostly pleasant conversation with the proprietor, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), we can only hope that she'll take steps to set things right. After a nice shower, of course. And if she can avoid a run-in with Norman's mother. It's Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960)!

And then from there, a young woman experiencing her first pregnancy, finds herself unusually isolated and alone in a New York City apartment building. While she receives guidance from her husband, doctor, and the odd elderly couple who live next door, a series of events leaves her uncertain as to which of them she can actually trust, in Roman Polanski's paranoid classic, Rosemary's Baby (1968).
