Poster for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga"

This week on the FilmWonk Podcast, Glenn and Daniel reunite with long-time friend of the pod Erika to review Furiosa, a return to the Mad Max saga which absolutely refused to rest on its laurels conceptually or thematically. Then, at Daniel’s behest, we “see what Jerry Seinfeld is up to” with Unfrosted, new on Netflix. And then we venture back to a gem of a crime dramedy from 2019, Lorene Scafaria‘s Hustlers (1:17:55).

May contain NSFW language.
