- 'Did Immortan Joe have a point?' was written down as a nit, which the host says Chris already raised earlier as a joke; the other nit is that Tom Hardy's voice is completely, or at least many times, dubbed, compared to the lossy sound of taping over an old radio mixtape.
- Dubbed lines are pointed out: 'that's my head' at the beginning, when the harpoon is shot past him on the hood of the car, and 'that's mine' when he sees Slit driving his car on the way back to the Citadel are somebody else's voice, and many more can be picked out.
- If the Green Place were real, why would more people not know about it? There are no podcasts or smartphones in the wasteland, the Outback setting holds maybe a thousand people with little information sharing, yet it is only a hard night's drive away and someone would have scouted it; if there were a place of salvation, people would try to go and word would get around.
- Earlier, during what aged the worst, Immortan Joe's plan was flagged as more of a nitpick: why marshal the whole Citadel to chase five or six wives when there should be other women to turn to.
