Send us a textMYSTERY ROAD It's the end of the road for Season 14 as TGTPTU's four White fellas travel across the world to the land down under for host Ken's 1x1 flick pick and this season's final film: MYSTERY ROAD (2013), sponsored this week by the Criminal Island's very own Hoppy Joe Beer (Get Your Hop On!). Directed by (and written by and lensed by and edited by and music with sound design by) Ivan Sen, this Aussie neo noir film that will launch a sequel and multiple standalone seasons of a TV season is the Australian filmmaker's first genre film. Sen's work is made with considerations to the conditions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (a.k.a. First Peoples, a.k.a. First Nations, a.k.a. Indigenous Australians), and when news of his making a crime fiction film spread, an all-star cast of Oz acting talent lined up to join, beginning with Australian Broadcasting Corporation mainstay Aaron Pedersen, for whom Sen wrote the part of the film's protagonist Detective Jay Swan, with second cast Hugo Weaving whose star power from the past two decades of Hollywood IP films subsequent to serving the Matrix franchise as Agent Smith helped draw in Ryan Kwanten, Bruce Spence, and an early appearance by Samara Weaving, a pod fav who made an appearance in an early TGTPTU Halloween episode. Plot: A local First Nations girl is found murdered, and Detective Swan freshly back in his hometown from time away catches his first homicide case and must reckon with his family left behind as investigating the homicide brings him into the town's underworld of drugs and prostitution, a world not unknown to his estranged wife and daughter. Pedersen's character also encounters alcoholics (it's Australia after all) drinking themselves to death; a mysterious death of a rookie officer and, separately, a senile man's pet; aspiring cop-killer children on bicycles; mutant dogs; fast barefoot humans; overt and covert racism; Chinese food; and two crack shots in H. Weaving's and Kwanten's characters. This week Ken and Jack recover from a week-long cold; Thomas brings his comedic A (short for "Australia") game; and Ryan offers background on the growth of media by First Nations peoples in Australia and later demos next season's theme song--all on this special, concluding, evening-record episode of TGTPTU. “Is that a fact?”THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

IT'S THEIR BIRTHDAY and by they we mean Matty and by it's their birthday we mean it was their birthday two weeks ago. The important part is it's their Birthday Episode and they have a doozy of a triple feature this week - Mad Max 2, Max Mad: Fury Road, and Escape from New York! After their new accidental segment, Concert Talk, Matty gives a brief summary of all three films (more or less), as well as the reasoning behind pairing the three together - spoiler, its mostly how Fury Road and Escape from New York connect to Mad Max 2. From asshole protags to apocalyptic wastelands to Kurt Russell's marker tattoo and everything in-between (including Bruce Spence, who loves to be in a sequel), the Sneople compare and contrast these three films and why they work well together. There's also a fair amount of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome affection and Waterworld dunking, if that's your jam. Also Matty forgot to mention this in the episode, but they noticed during their most recent Fury Road rewatch that they drive their cars the American Way (with the driver sitting on the left) in that movie vs the previous three movies, where they all drive the Australian Way (ie with the driver sitting on the right). It's been haunting Matty ever since. Why did it take them so long to notice? Was the change because it was produced by an American company? What does George Miller have to say about this? George please pick up the phone the people need to know.

In the pantheon of post-apocalyptic cinema, few films have achieved the iconic status of George Miller's Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Released in 1981, this Australian action masterpiece solidified Mel Gibson's status as a global star and redefined the genre with its raw, kinetic energy and visionary storytelling. For this week's episode of Born to Watch, we delve deep into why The Road Warrior remains a timeless classic, resonating with audiences over four decades later.Cinematic Brilliance and World-BuildingFrom the opening frames, The Road Warrior immerses viewers in a desolate, dystopian future where civilisation has collapsed and survival is a brutal battle. The film's cinematography, spearheaded by Dean Semler, captures the stark beauty and harshness of the Australian outback, transforming it into a hauntingly plausible post-apocalyptic wasteland. The wide, sweeping shots of barren landscapes contrast with the intense, close-up action sequences, creating a visually compelling narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.George Miller's direction is nothing short of visionary. He crafts a world that is both alien and eerily familiar, where the collapse of society has led to a regression into primitive tribalism. The attention to detail in the set design, costumes, and vehicles helps build a universe that feels lived-in and believable. The modified cars and motorbikes, adorned with spikes and armour, have become iconic symbols of the film, representing the resourcefulness and desperation of the world's inhabitants.Storytelling and ThemesAt its core, The Road Warrior is a story about survival and redemption. Max Rockatansky, portrayed with stoic intensity by Mel Gibson, is a lone wanderer haunted by the loss of his family and former life. Max's journey is one of reluctant heroism; he is initially driven solely by self-preservation but gradually finds a purpose in helping a group of settlers defend their precious fuel supply from a marauding band of savages.The narrative is straightforward yet profound, exploring isolation, community, and the enduring human spirit. The settlers, led by the charismatic Pappagallo (Michael Preston), represent a glimmer of hope and civilisation amidst the chaos. Their struggle to protect their oil refinery from the barbaric Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) and his gang is a microcosm of the fight to preserve humanity's better nature in the face of annihilation.Character Development and PerformancesMel Gibson's portrayal of Max is a masterclass in understated performance. With minimal dialogue, Gibson conveys a depth of emotion through his physicality and expressions. Max is a man of few words, but his actions speak volumes, making him an enigmatic and compelling protagonist. His evolution from a hardened survivor to a reluctant saviour is subtly yet powerfully executed.The film's antagonists are equally memorable. The Humungus, with his menacing presence and grotesque mask, is a formidable villain whose very appearance strikes fear. Vernon Wells, as Wez, the psychotic henchman, delivers a terrifying and mesmerising performance. His raw, unhinged energy epitomises the savage brutality of the film's antagonistic forces.The supporting cast adds depth and variety to the narrative, including the feisty and resourceful Feral Kid (Emil Minty) and the determined Warrior Woman (Virginia Hey). No matter how minor, each character contributes to the film's rich tapestry, making the world feel populated and real.Action and ChoreographyOne of the most celebrated aspects of The Road Warrior is its groundbreaking action sequences. The film is renowned for its spectacular car chases and stunts, which remain some of the most thrilling ever captured on film. The climactic chase scene, in which Max drives a heavily armoured tanker while pursued by Humungus's gang, is a masterclass in action filmmaking. The sequence is meticulously choreographed, combining practical effects, real stunts, and dynamic camera work to create a visceral and exhilarating experience.Miller's decision to use practical effects and real vehicles lends authenticity to the action that CGI-heavy modern films often lack. The stunts are dangerous and daring, performed by skilled stuntmen who risked life and limb to achieve the film's breathtaking sequences. This commitment to practical effects enhances the film's gritty realism and keeps viewers engaged in the high-stakes drama.Cultural Impact and LegacyThe Road Warrior has left an indelible mark on popular culture. Its influence can be seen in countless films, TV shows, and video games that draw inspiration from its post-apocalyptic aesthetic and action-packed narrative. The film's success helped to popularise the genre, paving the way for future dystopian classics.Moreover, The Road Warrior established many tropes synonymous with post-apocalyptic storytelling. The lone antihero, the savage wasteland, the resource wars—these elements have been echoed and reinterpreted in various media, a testament to the film's enduring legacy.The character of Max Rockatansky himself has become a cultural icon, embodying the archetype of the reluctant hero who rises to the occasion. Mel Gibson's portrayal has left a lasting impression, making Max one of cinema's most memorable characters.Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is a towering achievement in action cinema. Its blend of stunning visuals, relentless action, and poignant storytelling creates a film that is as emotionally resonant as it is thrilling. George Miller's visionary direction, outstanding performances, and groundbreaking stunts have cemented the film's place in cinematic history.For the Born to Watch podcast team, The Road Warrior is not just a movie but a benchmark of filmmaking excellence. Its impact on the genre and popular culture is undeniable, and its themes of survival, community, and redemption continue to resonate with audiences today. As we revisit this classic, we're reminded of the power of cinema to transport, inspire, and entertain. So, buckle up and join us on this high-octane journey through the wastelands – because in the world of Mad Max, the road is as unforgiving as it is exhilarating.

Welcome to the Living for the Max series. Over the past 45 years, there has been no other film franchise QUITE as inventive nor as consistently exciting as The Mad Max Saga….four films mostly chronicling the post-apocalyptic adventures of lone wolf Max Roxatansky played three times by Mel Gibson and most recently by Tom Hardy. As everyone has been directed by Australian cinematic genius George Miller, they have each reflected his unique vision while also being HUGELY influential on pop culture, more specifically the action genre. So needless to say, new ones don't come around very often and when they do….it MORE than qualifies as a cinematic EVENT. Therefore over the next several months, I will be revisiting EACH entry of this beloved franchise every month leading up to the U.S. release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga on May 24! And now the SECOND film in this franchise which is considered by many to be the best overall.....well at least was considered to be the best until Mad Max Fury Road came out in 2015. But it's still damn impressive bringing us back to Max who is now a drifter with his own heavily souped up Interceptor wandering around the post-apocalyptic Australian Outback. His character is always on the search for gasoline....as are most others at this point in time which leads to some potential trouble. He finds a massive oil refinery occupied by well-meaning survivors who just want to live in peace. Of course there are more dangerous elements out there who want to take over this oil refinery and they are lead by the evil Lord Humungus played by Kjell Nilsson...and they're not taking any prisoners. :o So here comes Max to try to help them transport their oil to a safer place while avoiding this violent gang which means to overtake them....and what results is a rip-roaring series of action sequences mostly taking place on the open road! Also co-starring are Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, Emil Minty, and Vernon Wells.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
This week on Fabulous Film and Friends we are pointing our compasses southward to the land of doom and gloom:Australia! Don't be fooled by the likes of Paul Hogan, Yahoo Serious and Thor, underneath that loopy, whimsical Australian charm, lies an unparalleled grim and sober yet prophetic outlook about life on Earth as evidenced by 1971's Walkabout directed by Nicholas Roeg, though full disclosure: he's an Englishman who shepherded Jenny Agutter, Luc Roeg, David Gulpilil and John Meillion to cinematic prominence, then 1982's The Road Warrior aka Mad Max 2 directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Kjell Nillson, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells, Mike Preston, Arkie Whitely, Viginia Hey and Emil Minty then topped off with The Road directed by Australian native John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortenson, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Garrett Dillahunt, the late Michael Kenneth Williams, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall. My guests today are once again the series regulars who have both the stomach and gloomy disposition to take solace in rewatching these films back-to-back-to-back, Roseanne Caputi and Alex Robertson.Okay before we go on a walkabout of our own, the synopses: In Walkabout, a perfectly ordinary pair of upper-class English siblings get lost in the Australian outback after their father takes them for a picnic then tries to murder them. They look to be perfect candidates for either heat stroke and/or vulture food until they are rescued by a young Aboriginal teen out on his Walkabout. The Road Warrior/Mad Max 2 raises the stakes of the original Mad Max and picks up the story with ex cop Max Rockatansky travelling the barren, hellish, post-apocalyptic highways and stumbling upon an evil road gang led by a brute named Lord Humungus. Humungus is hellbent on invading a compound belonging to a group of civilized and intelligent settlers who have built an oasis around the last of the oil wells and have running lights and supplies. Losing numbers and their morale under the constant attacks of Humungus, the settlers hatch a plan to escape the vermin on wheels and flee to the coast with their oil in tow. With the help of Max and a pilot called the Gyro Captain, the settlers are given a slim chance to survive. In The Road a Man risks all to protect his Boy and teach him survival skills in another bleak and nightmarish future where all plant and animal life is gone and the dominant humans subsist through murder and cannibalism.

We're talking the Little Nicky soundtrack today so it goes without saying that we do also bring up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer spoilers. Little Nicky is able to disprove a long held theory that any move that starts with a P.O.D song can't be bad. This movie is absolutely very bad. As in, why was this made kind of bad. But it does have a very solid soundtrack featuring Cypress Hill, Disturbed, Deftones, Incubus, Linkin Park and Filter to name a few. Little Nicky's bedroom looked like my teenage bedroom covered in Limp Bizkit and Korn posters but other than that, there is no real reference to these bands or the music in the script. Were Muse the quickest band in history to get sucked up their own arses (asses for you American listeners)?

They talk about Aaliyah starring in the movie for eight minutes, the rules of being a vampire, bad parking at outdoor concerts, Jesse not having any regard for her own safety, the songs being performed by Korn and much more. Plus: everyone reminisces about movies they liked when they were young only to be horribly disappointed upon rewatch.

On this epic episode of The Projection Booth, we remember the road warrior, the man we called Mad Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything and became a shell of a man, a burnt-out desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his past, a man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again. Ben Buckingham and Mike Thompson join Mike White to discuss the ever-shifting landscape of George Miller’s Mad Max series from its audacious beginning as a bikie exploitation / revenge Mad Max (1979) to the post-apocalyptic Western Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) to the troublesome Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) and concluding (?) with the spectacular Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). Interviews feature actors from three of the four films — Roger Ward, Vernon Wells, Virginia Hey, Bruce Spence, Hugh Keays-Byrne — as well as author Luke Buckmaster, author of Miller and Max.

With sports fans all over the world gearing up for the 2018 winter Olympics, InFocus had the conversation about Indigenous in sport. Our guest host Bruce Spence spoke with our guests Philip Paul-Martin of Native Hockey News, Trevor Phillips of the University of Manitoba and Tara Garrioch, sister to women’s hockey player Brigette Lacquette.
From acclaimed German director, Werner Herzog comes the story of modernity versus antiquity and the geologist stuck between them. Bruce Spence is Lance Hackett, an employee of the Ayers Mining Company who finds his search for a uranium deposit in the Australian outback held up by a group of Aborigines who are bound by tradition to stop the company’s expansion into the area in order to preserve the land where the green ants dream. Unable to reach compromise, the two sides meet in High Court to decide if the future belongs to commerce or tradition.

As the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza winds down, the gang tackles the worst part of one of the biggest movie franchises, The Matrix Revolutions! Why did they think it was a good idea to have all sorts of important story elements play out in video games no one wanted? Did we need to meet this many members of Dozer's family?

Two podcasters enter; one episode leaves. In the closest thing to timely this podcast is likely to get, Jon and Ali try to cash in on Fury Road mania with a throwback to a simpler, more 80s apocalyptic nightmare world with 1985's Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Jon doesn't need another hero. Ali runs Bartertown. The entire episode is a shambles, with all the exciting Bickersons banter being heightened by landscapers outside, a ring at the door, and an impromptu serenade. And the question is answered, can MMIS ever really move beyond Thunderdome? Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome was directed by Georges Miller and Ogilvie, written by Miller and Terry Hayes, and stars Mel Gibson, Tina Turner, Angry Anderson, Bruce Spence, and some other Australians.
With the international popularity of “Mad Max,” George Miller was excited to get back into the driver's seat and continue with his hero as he wandered the dystopian wastes of Australia looking for fuel. It was a smart move as “Mad Max 2,” or “The Road Warrior” as it was released in the States, not only did well at the box office but helped build the cult following of this franchise. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Mad Max series with 1981's “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.” We talk about the fundamental differences in the types of story between the first and second film, and how Pete gravitates toward the familial connections in the former while Andy gravitates toward the redemption in the latter. We chat about the great cast — Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells, Kjell Nilsson, Virginia Hey and of course Mel Gibson — and how they fit in mess of a future. We talk stunts and car chases — of course — and how Miller really stepped it up for this film, culminating in a 13-minute tanker chase at the end. And we look at the costume design and how it's evolved from the first film to this. We love the film, despite our differences about which is better, and have a great talk about it this week. Tune in!

Shush.We're watching The Girl In The Fireplace. It's good, innit?Stuff we forgot this week: the name of the actor Bruce Spence; and that the title of the film about Giulio Andreotti is Il Divo. I should have been able to remember the second one because of the embarrassing incident at the ticket office when the person at the cinema thought it was a film about a boy band of opera singers or something.Our friend Mark, to whom we refer is @CWhoFan. He is a splendid fellow, and his blog Trap One https://trapone.wordpress.com is ace and always worth reading.
