THE SCI-FI PODCAST EP 9: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) – It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Max World

TSFP Mad Max Fury RoadWelcome to The SciFi Podcasta wretched hive of scum and villainy a podcast focused on in-depth discussion of all things Science Fiction. The SciFi Podcast features three hosts—Mattroid, Solo, and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before.

In celebration of this weeks BluRay release of Mad Max: Fury Road, the great Station! leaves the fellas on their own for a War Boys Night Out (or is it a Guys Afternoon In?) when SpaceWolf returns and special guest Jonasty makes his debut for a no-holds-barred discussion of the post-apocalyptic Mad Max franchise and the high-octane newest film in particular. What a lovely day!

Theme music courtesy of I Hear Sirens, featuring Matt on bass and Liz on keyboard. Hear more of I Hear Sirens ethereal, instrumental, post-rock at BandCamp. Podcast production and art by SpaceWolf.
