115. Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron in George Miller's 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015)

Thrilled to be joined this week by Kyle Buchanan, a NY Times writer whose new book 'Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild & True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road' is out now from William Morrow.

Kyle and I talk about the incredible 30-year-journey of Fury Road; two times called off just prior to shooting, casting issues with Mel Gibson flaming out (and aging out) of the role, a non-traditional storyboard screenplay, a prolonged shoot in the remote Namibian desert, War Boy training of surprising emotional depth, Eve Ensler of 'The Vagina Monologues' contributing essential feminist backstory to the Vulvalini and Brides characters, tension between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy, life-threatening stunts every day, all day, and, at the center, the maverick, iconoclastic, grandfatherly genius George Miller. A former doctor whose directing credits veer wildly from all the Mad Max films to 'Happy Feet' and 'Babe: Pig In The City', his mercurial presence, unconventional process, and essential Australian-ness are what makes Mad Max movies so unique.

Kyle's book is a must-have for any film buff. His more than 130 interviews above and below the line insure the story is told by the people who were really there. I'm very thankful for Kyle giving Full Cast and Crew podcast a bit of his time during his busy Oscar season.
