For the sake of argument, let’s just say that these two films denote the warped edges of contemporary blockbuster filmmaking, and let’s just say that as different as they are, something might be gained from smashing them into one another for a day.

The format we have envisioned is nearly as bonkers and topsy-turvy as the films. We’ll begin the day with a screening of Mad Max: Fury Road; we’ll end with a screening of Interstellar; and we’ll squeeze 4 panels in between. How? Each panel will be 4 10-minute presentations and 20 minutes of Q&A. No need for setup, no time to marshal evidence. Just give us the argument. Or, as they used to say in the radio business: All Killer, No Filler.
