I enjoyed Furiosa way more than I thought I would. The way they linked its conclusion explicitly to Fury Road had me wondering about Mad Max mythopoesis for weeks. Like does Furiosa require that we reinterpret Fury Road, or is Furiosa only drawing out what was already present?
Music: First Always by Jonathan McReynolds. His voice at a live concert is the one of the most beautiful sounds I have heard come from a human being. He really shows off in this track in a playful, spiritual way.
First that come to mind—
Movie: Fall Guy
Show: Mr&Mrs Smith
Book: Midnight in Chernobyl
Album: Big Ideas, Remi Wolf
Live show: Switchfoot 20th anniversary

Seeing Wicked totally counts! That Switchfoot concert must have been so amazing. Did you feel synergy with your teenage self?
Great idea! Can't wait to check out Arcs.
Movie- Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Book- All Things Are Too Small: Essays in Praise of Excess (Becca Rothfeld)
