    S&A 247 Children of the Apocalypse: Children of Men & Furiosa W/ Tim

    This week on S&A Lindsay and Tim from It Didn't Go Platinum Podcast wonder what it would be like to grow up in the apocalypse. It's a Double of Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men (2006) & Dr. George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024). This is a Double that not only looks at gaining power or resources in a dystopia - whether it be children or a bullet farm. But more importantly the attitudes of countries like Britain and Australia and their attitudes toward dictatorships. Are we closer than we think heading toward 2027 (the answer is yes by the way) or is all about putting on a show.

Do you want a film maker who doesn't know what they are doing? A film guided by numerology, no context for scenes, grotesque sex scenes and a very drunk Wings Hauser? We have that and more. These men had a dream and too much money and we are thankful for it.
