Send us a Text Message.On our 83rd episode of Fabulous Film & Friends we're driving headfirst into the maelstrom as we discuss ALL of director George Miller's post-apocalyptic Mad Max movies including the newly released Furiosa. What's that you say? Didn't you just review The Road Warrior on your recent Australian Apocalypse podcast? True enough! But! We glossed over an important ingredient in the film's success and we're going to make amends as we break down all the Mad Maxes. I'm joined this week by my kid sister, the renowned English lit snob and biker movie enthusiast Roseanne Caputi and returning to the program after a year-long spell are both author and hypnotherapist Joe Field and erstwhile photographer, musician, podcaster and now website owner Kendrick WrightThe synopses: Mad Max is set “a few years” into the future where society is breaking down and car and motorcycle gangs rule the road striking fear into the hearts of ordinary schmoes just trying to survive. Main Force Patrol officer Max Rockatansky has everything ] taken from him, when his wife and kid are killed by the evil Toecutter and a soul-crushed Max becomes a one-man killing force, The Road Warrior/Mad Max 2 raises the stakes of its predecessor, and calls out the societal issue as a great war between two tribes and picks up the story with Max 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 chance to survive and a little notion called hope. “ In Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Max, now a full-fledged nomadic warrior, has all his possessions stolen and in trying to track them down, finds a sleazy desert trading post called Bartertown. Max strikes a bargain with the town's ruler Aunty Entity in order to regain his possessions. When Max refuses to kill a simple man, he is sent out into the desert to die but is saved by a tribe of kids looking for a hero. Mad Max: Fury Road finds Max imprisoned in a rock fortress called the Citadel and forced into being a blood supplier for the sickly War Boys of the cult warlord leader Immortan Joe. When Joe's chief transportation lieutenant Imperator Furiosa betrays Joe and smuggles his wives from Joe's harem to bring them to the safety of the Green Place, Joe's Army and the armies of the neighboring Bullet Town and Gas Town give a desperate chase to get Joe's wives back. During the chaos, Max escapes captivity and forms an uneasy alliance with Furiosa as the two hurtle down Fury Road in an epic chase for their lives and the future of civilization. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – a franchise first prequel and continuity driven story of Young Furiosa, how she lost her mother, her true love and her arm at the hands of the demagogue Dr. Dementus, a cruel rabble rouser who starts a wasteland war with Immortatan Joe and the leaders of the of Bulletown and Gas Town.
In a near-future Australia, one cop fights back against a ruthless biker gang. Listen as we talk about how difficult it is to show society crumbling, a guy named Toecutter who cuts no toes, and the word that's forever associated with the Hall of Justice. Then we find out if Mad Max stands the Test of Time.
It's time for another alliterative month on Cinema on Tap: Mad Max May! With the upcoming release of Furiosa, we're heading to the wasteland to talk about George Miller's career-spanning franchise. We start in 1979, with a much more grounded film compared to its successors. The original film follows Mad Max Rockatansky, a police officer, trying to keep a collapsing society afloat…before he crosses paths with the Toecutter. How does Mad Max compare to the sequels? And, do we feel that George Miller got his career off to a hot start? Stay tuned to find out! How would you rank the mad Max movies? Send us your thoughts at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com
Witness me, Slackers!This week is a petal to the metal episode. No chit chat, no personal anecdotes from the week, nada - just straight out the gate just like the opening of every Mad Max movie. George Miller knows to keep all that pesky dialogue to a minimum and let the story unfold visually.From the very first installment, Max Rockatansky has been one of the most interesting cinematic characters, in large part because he says so little. Whether Max is played by Mel Gibson or Tom Hardy, so much is expressed via facial expressions and the chaos happening all around him. Paired with some memorable villains, and you get cinematic gold. Speaking of villains, what a list of names: Toecutter. Night Rider. Lord Humongous. Wez. Aunty Entity. Ironbar. And of course, Immortan Joe. They just keep getting more and more over the top as the franchise progressed.And what's truly remarkable is the fact that Max is actually the deuteragonist of Mad Max: Fury Road. That's right, he's the second most important character - the protagonist is one Imperator Furiosa, originally played to perfection by Charlize Theron, and soon to be embodied by Anya Taylor-Joy in the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. I don't know about you, but I am pretty stoked to see another installment in the franchise - Max or no Max!
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head into the post-apocalypse (?) of 1979's Max Max to celebrate the 45th anniversary of George Miller's classic. Miller's debut film, Mad Max is set in a dystopian Australia on the brink of societal collapse. Mel Gibson stars as Max Rockatansky, one of the few remaining police officers trying to maintain law and order. A sadistic motorcycle gang led by Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne) becomes a thorn in Max's side when they first target his partner Goose (Steve Bisley) and then Max and his family.The guys talk about how things seem OK for a world on the brink of collapse, how Goose becomes the main character for a large section of the movie, if Max and his wife Jessie (Joanne Samuel) are bad parents, the memorable climax where Max finally gets Mad and more.You can watch Mad Max on Prime Video, Tubi, and PlutoTV. Next week we're talking about the 90s spin on Most Dangerous Game, Surviving the Game for its 30th anniversary.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

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….As each film 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. 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! Let's kick things off with the original Australian-produced action thriller which was not only the on-screen debut for Mel Gibson but the first feature film to be directed by George Miller. And it's a relatively simple story focusing an ongoing war in headed-towards-dystopia-Australia between a brutal motorcycle gangs of marauders and leather-clad highway patrolmen who are still trying to keep the streets safe. This is where we meet one of those patrolmen....a simple family man Max played by Gibson......BEFORE he gets Mad. :o 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/

Crazy gonzo revenge exploitation movie MAD MAX was Director George Miller's 1979 debut that spawned a multi-film franchise and propelled Mel Gibson to Hollywood stardom. Inspired by real-life fuel pump shortages and outbreaks of civil disobedience during the global oil crisis in the 70's, Miller conjured up a grim vision of civilisation on the edge of apocalypse, with the fabric of society collapsing and morality correspondingly decaying. A world where murderous gangs of highway roaming bikers led by villains named Toecutter terrorize rural communities, with only the under-funded Main Force Patrol around to uphold the law, and a place where hotshot cop Max Rockatansky (Gibson) will eventually set out to exact a very personal revenge. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to think of Australia as a barren, irradiated wasteland but that's not where Miller's genius and ingenuity ends as he conjures up an inventive world - ripe for expansion as further instalments of the franchise will prove - and spectacular stunts which imbue the film with a constant sense of motion and pushed the envelope of guerrilla action film-making. Though time leaves the original MAD MAX feeling a little crude and raw in comparison to its bigger budget sequels, this is still an exciting and often intense slice of genre film making which makes for continuing compelling viewing.We love to hear from our listeners!

This week, Jeff Koyen joins me to dissect George Miller's 2015 apocalyptic action Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth film in the Mad Max film series, following Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (often simply called The Road Warrior) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Unlike its predecessors, Fury Road was made in a modern, computerized film production landscape. The three original films were scruffy independent productions made in the ‘70s and ‘80s featuring visceral actions with real people doing incredible—and seemingly real—stunts. The decades-later sequel Fury Road miraculously retains the scruffy and kinetic feel and spirit of the original films while taking full advantage of the tools and possibilities of modern movie-making, overlaying a bold sense of color, speed and scale. Fury Road was a singular masterpiece of pure cinema. However, it fizzled at the box office, coming in second to Pitch Perfect 2 on its opening weekend. While Fury Road was embraced by an enthusiastic cult of fans, its impact on filmmaking was sadly negligible. It showed the grand possibilities of CGI filmmaking and the general public said “no thanks” and bought a gazillion tickets for gray Marvel movie sludge instead. Mad Max super-fan Jeff Koyen joins me to celebrate_ Fury Road. Jeff is a brilliant editor and journalist whose career spans the legendary '90s ‘zine _Crank, the iconoclastic alt-weekly_ New York Press _(where he was my boss), the NFT artwork site the Boggz Project (https://boggz.org/)and numerous other publications and projects. It's a great conversation and I don't want to give too much away. But the scene from the original Mad Max with the rumored stunt death is here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBCpa_CiWsI) (don't worry–the guy didn't die; he was just walloped by a motorcycle tire real good). Also, someday I'm going to do a full-throated defense of Beyond Thunderdome but I don't really get into it here.

Topics covered include a questionable rendition of the Welcome Back, Kotter theme, the budget of $300,000 (did I mention this was shot for $300,000?), Toecutter's symbolic resurrection as Immortan Joe in Fury Road, the difference between action movies and cult movies/ weird Australian movies, the brilliant low-budget movie Bender (no, not that one, and not that one either - watch it and make Vanderpool famous!), MM as a pre-apocalypse movie, Road Warrior as the template of the post-apocalypse movie, the double revenge plots, the wisdom of going on vacation in the middle of the apocalypse, comparison with Straw Dogs, comparison with Cyborg (stay tuned later in the season!), lines taken from AC/DC's “Live Wire,” parallels with Gibson's character in Lethal Weapon, George Miller as a director, the superiority of Fury Road, society falls apart but the roads are looking pretty good and the cars are still pretty cool, the highway patrol as just another gang, the unbearable loudness of the score, an uncomfortable suggestion of bestiality, the polymorphously perverse gang members as a precursor to the weird homophobia of The New Barbarians/ Warriors of the Wasteland, the breast-pillows, the safety-consciousness of the wild and crazy bikers, cheesy camera overcranking, the legendary awfulness of Michigan roads, over-accessorizing as the key to weird characterization, Gibson's super-tight pants, the foolishness of learning to juggle in order to impress girls (try drawing instead!), criteria for selection of apocalyptic movies for this season, comparison with Wall-E, losing the Mask of Zorro episode, intentional WTF moments, Max's Macgyver-esque turn at the end, Back to the Future 2 as a dystopian movie, Max's transition from a cop to a ganger, gang members as evil and crazy, the gunslinger as protector of civilization but outside of it (Shane), Batman beating the crap out of villains, “WOOOOOO!”, humans as the real monsters, and Australians don't drink Foster's. Movies mentioned as fitting the apocalyptic pattern that we don't actually end up watching: Wall-E, Falling Down, A Bug's Life, The Running Man, Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes, Until the End of the World, Apocalypto, Blade Runner, Judge Dredd, Dredd, Shaun of the Dead, Zombie Strippers, Children of Men, They Live, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 2012, and Wake in Fright. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/because-you-watched/support

They discuss how best to process grief from our losing such actors as Chadwick Boseman, Max Von Sydow, David Prose (Darth Vader) and Sean Connery in this horrible 2020. Chauncey DeVega is especially upset over the loss of professional wrestling legend Pat Patterson and Hugh Keays-Byrne, the actor who portrayed Immortan Joe and Toecutter in two of George Miller's wondrous Mad Max films. And to bring some joy and levity to these especially difficult last few weeks, Bill the Lizard and Chauncey discuss The Mandalorian and their favorite new Star Wars friend “Grogu”.

Immortan Joe gave us one of the most amazing wasteland warlords in cinema, but how does he compare to The Toecutter, the villain Hugh Keays-Byrne brought to life 30 years earlier? We also discuss Capable’s necessity in helping Nux transform as a character and wonder if it was necessary for Nux to make the ultimate sacrifice.
G.I. Gary visits and brings Mad Max to this edition of The Pint Movie Invitational Series. From Anarchy Road, thru Fifi's cravat and beyond, we dive deep into the Aussie classic. What is Mel Gibson most known for? Does Goose like the ol' shrimp on his barbie? Listen In to the last episode of the Pint whose number does not end in some form of Undred. See you next week for 100!
Set in the near future, Mel Gibson stars as the titular Max, one of the best police officers working for the MFP fighting against the increasingly hostile lands, full of marauding car and biker gangs who have no regard for life, or for laws, and especially not for law officers. One such gang of bikers, led by a psychopath named Toecutter, is on the rampage and is targeting MFP officers who've messed with their way of doing things, putting them all in potential harm's way. A family man, Max doesn't know if he's really cut out to put his neck on the line in a losing battle against anarchy. He soon discovers there is not much escape from the criminal element that has permeated everywhere, and it's kill or be killed in the lawless and bloodthirsty territories. George Miller directs in this wildly successful action vehicle that propelled Mel Gibson, and Australian cinema itself, to even greater success.

Strap yourself in and prepare yourself for a thrilling ride as the boys sit down for the first time after their vacation to discuss MAD MAX! Directed by George Miller and written by George Miller and James McCausland, MAD MAX is set “a few years from now” and shows society as we known it on the down swing. Main Force Police, or MFP, is patrolling the roads from rougians, ragamuffins and crazed motorcycle gangs. Max Rockatansky is the MFP’s top officer. MFP finds themselves going after a violent, sadistic motorcycle gang lead by a charismatic psycho known only as the Toecutter. He leads his group from town to town and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. They’re put on Max’s radar after his partner Jim Goose is burned alive by one of their underlings but it becomes a tale of revenge after Max’s wife and son are killed. With the law no longer on his side, rage in his heart and a super-charged V8 Interceptor on his side, Max vows to chase down and kill the Toecutter and his gang. MAD MAX, upon release, wasn’t well received at first. A lot of critics didn’t get the film and panned it for it’s violence, incoherentness and the killing of children, but that’s not to say the film did bad. Variety praised George Miller’s directorial debut, it grossed $100 million worldwide, awarded three Australian Film Institute Awards and spawned three sequels (The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Fury Road) Mad Max was the first major leading role for Australian actor Mel Gibson and also stars Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Geoff Parry and Steve Bisley.
This is it, the final chunk of credits featuring the props and mechanical department, stunt team, post-production team, and special thanks. The discussion questions focus on our villains: 1) How was Toecutter as an antagonist for Max? Could he be considered a rival? 2) Does Johnny the Boy have a character arc? Could he also be considered a main character in this movie? Last of all, we outline how we’ll handle hiatus material and give our final thoughts on Mad Max. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Back behind the wheel of the Black on black, Max is pulling out all of the stops to catch up to Toecutter. The two engage in a high-speed game of cat and mouse before an unexpected third party appears and catches Toecutter off guard, resulting in arguably the most iconic crash in the movie. We are joined by special guest Alex Robinson from www.starwarsminute.com. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
As Johnny the Boy follows Toecutter’s lead and beats a hasty retreat we are left watching Max hop and shuffle his way back to his waiting Interceptor. It’s a brutal minute that sees Max falling down, picking himself back up again, and finally getting back in the driver’s seat before speeding off to catch Toecutter. We talk about tight pants, the tricky task of identifying Australian birds of prey, and do a bit of math concerning speed and distance. Also, The Mad Max Minute does not advocate vigilante justice. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti have caught Max in a trap, but as Bubba takes another pass at the injured Bronze, he is suddenly gunned down as Max retrieves his shotgun. Seeing the tables start to turn Toecutter retreats leaving Max to his long painful walk back to the parked Black on black. We bid farewell to the best second-in-command Toecutter could ask for, even as we blur the line of who exactly we’re rooting for to win, and talk about Toecutter running away instead of staying to fight. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Freed from the awful prison of slow motorists, Max ventures into the prohibited zone and soon comes across a downed motorcycle on the side of the road. Stopping to investigate, Max is on his guard but notices far too late that he has been caught in Toecutter’s trap. Bubba Zanetti adds injury to insult by running over Max’s outstretched arm as he grasps for his shotgun. We hear the return of the Code 3, talk about exploding knees, and explore the ways that Max is and isn’t like a Jedi. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Max is in pursuit of Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti but suddenly finds himself trapped on a narrow road behind a large truck pulling construction equipment. It’s an exercise in futility as Max tries to get around the massive, slow-moving obstruction, but eventually, the road widens out and Max is able to resume his chase. Rick has some rather strong feelings about this minute, mostly stemming from his own feelings about being stuck in slow traffic, whereas Julia is much more understanding. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Week 17 makes quite a splash as four of Toecutter’s lieutenants find themselves off their bikes and plum out of luck. Elsewhere, Johnny finds a highway call box and alerts Toecutter of the Bronze that is now hunting them. Before long Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti are back on the road, with a familiar face shadowing them. We address the infamous stuntman rumor, talk about some rather illegal traffic wrangling, and spend a fair amount of time wondering how Max was able to plant photographs in Toecutter’s helmet. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Pulling his unwilling informant from under a car, Max continues his interrogation as the Grease Rat struggles to catch his breath. In pain, he can only nod his head and wheeze out answers as Max begins listing the names of the men he plans to kill. Elsewhere, Toecutter’s lieutenants are leaving a watering hole as they head out to get some gas. Along the way, we speculate about the hierarchy of Toecutter’s gang and later on give some free advertising to a Bed & Breakfast. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
With the van broken down Jessie takes off running as May stays behind to try to slow down the pursuing bikers. Like so many plans, it all goes to waste as Toecutter and his Acolytes quickly overtake Jessie and run her down. We take a close look at May’s plan and wonder how things could have happened differently. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
May Swaisey arrives on the scene armed with her old shotgun and confronts the Gang head on, managing to herd them into a small shed. All the while we see more amazing interactions with Toecutter and his lieutenants, May’s questionable marksman skills, and Sprog’s uncanny skill as a ventriloquist. The lactose intolerant should be warned, Rick spends several minutes talking about cheese. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Jessie finds herself face to face with several threatening individuals with sprog held hostage in the middle of it all. This minute features some remarkable blocking and scene setting that makes the most of the dynamic characteristics of Toecutter’s lieutenants. This scene also features some excellent accent work from Hugh Keays-Byrne (the jury is still out on Rick’s accents). It’s a great start to a week that does not end well. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Toecutter plays “got your nose” with the Grease Rat as Jessie and Max escape to a quiet spot by a river. We take a moment to wonder how Jessie described her experience Max and whether he fully grasps how serious it was. Speaking of grasps, Jessie discovers Cundalini’s severed hand dangling from a chain held by a crew member. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Happy Friday! Jessie speeds back to the Mechanic’s shop and collects Max before speeding off again, leaving a bewildered and frustrated Grease Rat to face the scrutiny of the Toecutter. We complain about the Grease Rat’s lousy customer service, try to uncover why Max is so slow to pick up on Jessie’s distress and discuss the common practice of talking to one’s self. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
The Acolytes close in around Jessie as she tries to get back to the Mechanic’s shop, a task made more difficult by Toecutter’s insistence on placing himself in her path. By staying calm, Jessie is able to catch Toecutter off guard and evade her pursuers, for the time being. It’s a tense minute which prompts us to dive into the subject of street harassment and suppose how much worse things could have been. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
As Jessie disappears into the distance in a cloud of dust, the Grease Rat tries to initiate small talk with an impatient Max. Meanwhile, Jessie visits a quaint seaside village where a shady group of ne’er-do-wells happen to be hanging out. The madcap geography of Mad Max’s version of Australia rears it’s ugly head once more, Julia reminds Rick about his awful car, and we try to understand just what Toecutter is doing. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Max concludes his explanation of why he wants to leave the MFP which prompts Fifi to give Max several weeks of vacation time (not a bad deal when you think about it). Max brings up his worry that he's going to turn into just another crazy person on the road and that prompts us to examine if the officers are really headed down that path. We also discuss the differences and similarities between Fifi and Toecutter's management style. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
With Toecutter breathing down his neck, Johnny the Boy is at a major crossroads with Goose's life hanging in the balance. We talk about Toecutter's manipulation tactics, whether Johnny is truly brave or a coward, and mourn Goose's on screen death. Bubba Zanetti is there too. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
It's Goose's last moment of victory as he makes his way back to MFP Headquarters with Midge's Ute. Despite his high spirits, danger is on the horizon as Johnny, Toecutter, and Bubba Zanetti lie in wait to ambush our hero. It's a wild end to week 9 with singing, flooding, stunts, and a request for our listeners. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Johnny gets a little lesson in speaking out of turn as we fade back to Goose, neglecting his police radio at the Sugartown Cabaret. There is a discussion of the appropriate use of profanity, the difficulties involved with filming scenes over the course of a day, and the confusing relationship that Toecutter shares with the members of his gang. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Toecutter puts an end to the joviality and vaguely outlines how the gang will handle their police adversaries. We marvel at Toecutter's unwavering sway over the other Acolytes, the idea that being openly challenged by the police is a new thing to them, and we take a closer look at Toecutter's object lesson. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Who knew that near-apocalyptic motorcycle gangs had so much internal drama, though it might just be Bubba Zanetti that gets bent out of shape about his fellow riders. We also bring up why we think the Night Rider's remains were sent to Wee Jerusalem, the idea of hierarchy within Toecutter's criminal enterprise, and the poor state of MFP Headquarters. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Is it really an insult when someone named Goose calls someone else a Turkey? This is just one of the many questions raised as Max and Goose see a pantsless Lair running out into a field. Despite Goose's jocular attitude, he and Max soon find themselves face to face with the aftermath of Toecutter's violent whim. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
It's a tense start to the week as Toecutter rallies his lieutenants and they take off after the young couple in the chevy. Amidst all of this moving around we notice some parallels between this chase and the pursuit of the Nightrider at the beginning of the film and wonder if there's an extended cut of Hugh Keays-Byrne hitting a windshield with his ax. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
There's always a point where humor is no longer appreciated, and the Station Master learns real quick that the Toecutter can go from zero to sixty faster than anything on the road. There's a lot of face touching in this minute, really intense face touching. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Today's minutes is all about the on-screen reveal of the Acolytes, especially the Toecutter. We also talk a bit about the motorcycles used in the film, as well as the behind the scenes documentary "The Madness of Max" included in the High Octane Collection. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com
Things are getting tense as the Nightrider starts to smell the wafting scent of freedom, but his monologuing may come back to bite him if Max has anything to say about it. This seems like a good time to mention that Max has no dialogue in this minute, I was just using an idiom. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com

We didn't want to jump on the bandwagon when this one was released. We knew it would gain massive attention, but we would get lost in a crowd of podcasts from those who know and those who don't have a clue what it is they are watching. Let it be said that Mad Max has never had a straight line of continuity, which made it easy to fall back into it again after all these years. Sure Mel isn't there, but Toecutter is back in the incarnation of Immortal Joe. Like visiting Australia itself, I knew that I would love it. It is exactly what it says on the box. Pure indulgence without pretense and nobody but George Miller can give that to us. This is a masterclass in action films.

“They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well, damn them! You and me, Max, we're going to give them back their heroes!" George Miller's film “Mad Max” came out in 1979 in Australia and became a huge success, going on to become the most profitable film ever until it was unseated from its throne by one Blair Witch. It went on to spur two sequels and, soon, a fourth. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we gear up for one of our most anticipated movies this summer by kicking off our Mad Max series with the start of it all — “Mad Max.“ Join us as we talk about why we love this film so much and how much Miller gets out of this dystopian world he's created, despite his limited funds. We discuss the nature of this world and where it falls as far as post-acopalytic versus a near future that's just messed up. We chat about Mel Gibson in one of his first starring roles and what he brings to the table, along with the other actors (including Hugh Keays-Byrne as Toecutter, who will be turning up on ”Fury Road" as well). We go into the amazing stunt work at length, really digging into some of the wild things they did while marveling that so few people got seriously hurt. And we look at the cinematography, art direction, costume design and composing and how each element really worked perfectly to bring this world to life. It's a fantastic film and we're both big fans.

“They say people don’t believe in heroes anymore. Well, damn them! You and me, Max, we’re going to give them back their heroes!" George Miller’s film “Mad Max” came out in 1979 in Australia and became a huge success, going on to become the most profitable film ever until it was unseated from its throne by one Blair Witch. It went on to spur two sequels and, soon, a fourth.
