Today marks the 10th anniversary of George Miller's 'Mad Max: Fury Road', many would argue the best entry in the Mad Max series. Beyond its stunning cinematography and action scenes, the film also gave us one of the coolest and most iconic original action heroines of the last few decades in Furiosa, along with one of the most refreshing displays of camaraderie between a male and a female protagonist, primarily depicting them as two lost, broken people who gradually grew to trust and genuinely respect each other, learning to work together in trying to find the kind of redemption each of them was hoping for.

One of my favourite personal connections with 'Mad Max: Fury Road' is that I have now come to forever associate it with my Tiffie, because it is after all her favourite film of all time. Is there a hint of logic in making this claim? Nope, but it's by far the one explosion-heavy movie that has worked the best in distracting her and noticeably helping with her extreme fear of fireworks, so there's that.

🗞️ NEW: Read about our important report into the Online Safety Act in Digit.
“This complicated legislation favours Big Tech who have the means and capacity to comply with the Act’s onerous provisions.
Instead of tackling online harms, the Act concentrates the market power of Big Tech companies, exacerbating the underlying reasons that harmful content circulates.”
