Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024): The Prequel We Didn't Ask For

Welcome to the Wasteland! In our final episode of Mad May we bring on a special guest, filmmaker, playwright, comic book writer, banker???, and all around amazing guy Lenny Schwartz! Lenny has probably watched more movies then all three of us hosts combined. Lenny is an accomplished playwright having penned dozens and dozens of plays and operates The Daydream Theater Company out of Rhode Island. He's written several feature films including Higher Methods, Murder University, Comic Book Junkies, Long Night in a Dead City, Normal, and The Assassination of Western Civilization (many of which are streaming). Lenny joins us for a very in depth discussion of George Miller's latest entry into the Mad Max franchise, 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' in which Lenny has some wonderful stories to share from his unique access and insight in the entertainment industry.

About the Podcast

Back to the Frame Rate
Preserving Our Civilization One MOVIE At A Time
Back to the Frame Rate is a movie discussion podcast where filmmakers, actors, and passionate wannabes come together to celebrate the art of cinema. From beloved popcorn flicks of the '80s, '90s and today, to timeless classics and arthouse gems we cover it all. But we’re not just here to talk movies — we’re here to save them!

In a world facing imminent asteroid-induced doom (think Armageddon without the happy ending), we’ve built a fallout shelter for the greatest films of all time. With only enough space for a carefully curated vault of 35mm and 70mm reels, the stakes couldn’t be higher. We comb through the likes of AFI’s 100, Sight & Sound’s Greats, and IMDB’s Top 250 to decide which films are worthy of saving — and which will be purged forever.

Join hosts Nathan Suher, Sam Coale, and Briana (Bee) Butterworth as they passionately debate cinema’s survival, ensuring the future of storytelling one reel at a time. Sadly, the space is tight, just enough for us and our cherished 35mm and 70mm film reels. To friends, family, and old acquaintances left in the cinematic dust, our apologies. But fret not, for we vow to emerge when Earth is safe for repopulation. We've preserved the very soul of civilization, ensuring a future where storytelling thrives. Back to the Frame Rate, saving the world one reel at a time!
Hosted by Nathan Suher, Sam Coale, and Briana (Bee) Butterworth.
