I've always now been aware of the power of myth as Joseph Gabb of stories and how at any level

whether they're anecdotes between two people, your family stories about your local football team, your

community, whether they're folklore, fairy tales, religious stories, all of

those all of those are basically timeless and they are in all cultures.

We're hard-wide for them.

Prepare your ears humans.

Happy, sad, confused begins now.

I'm Josh Harrowitz and today on happy, sad confused, George Miller is back.

It is his third time on the podcast. I'm privileged to say

if anybody watches or listens to this podcast, I know my favorite topic the last

nine years has been Fury Road. Well, George has done it again with Furyosa. It is my new

obsession. I am so thrilled to have him back on the podcast. Welcome, sir.

Thanks, Josh. Good to see you. Congratulations.

First of all, look, I want to set up a little bit of the background, the storyline of how this came

to be.

For those that don't know, this is a very unusual circumstance.

This was born out of Fury Road and and

and I guess the backstory that you felt was important to outline for your

characters two stories came out of it, a wasteland story for Max, and this script.

And correct me if I'm wrong, this was originally going to be an anime film way back where.

So how much does this resemble what that was going to be?

Well, it was pretty close, actually.
