Summary

Mad Max: Fury Road took almost 20 years to make it to the screen, and faced a nearly impossible set of challenges. Find out how a talking pig and dancing penguins helped make one of the greatest action movies of all time possible, why Charlize Theron was dying to be in a Mad Max movie, and why the ghost of Heath Ledger haunted George Miller. This is part 1 where we’ll be covering the development and pre-production leading up to filming.

0:00.0	Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another episode of What Went Wrong, your favorite
0:24.9	podcast full stop that just so happens to be about movies and how it's nearly impossible
0:30.9	to make them let alone a good one. And I have to imagine it must have been literally
0:35.6	impossible to make one this good. I don't understand how this movie exists.
0:40.9	Nope. I remember when I sat in theaters and just heart rate was at 150, the whole time.
0:46.7	Yep. For two hours straight. Before we get into this film, as always, I'm Chris
0:51.6	Winnerbauer here with Lizzie Bassett, a quick shout out. We have a fun little, well, kind
0:57.9	of sad little ripped from the headlines episode on our Patreon available for y'all about

1:39.3	All right, Lizzie, tell us what are we covering today? Well, this is the result of a poll.
1:45.2	New listeners voted. And if you don't know, you can vote for one episode a month on our
1:50.0	Patreon. So make sure you go over there and vote. This one pretty much by a landslide.
1:56.1	And it is Mad Max Fury Road. Now I knew this was a troubled production. I had no idea
2:05.6	that I was getting myself into with this movie. My main source today is a really, really
2:14.5	awesome book. If you are watching on video, I will show you the cover right now. It is blood,
2:20.2	sweat, and chrome, the wild and true story of Mad Max Fury Road by Kyle Buchanan. It's excellent.
