On Episode 30 of Friends with Cinefits, Alex returns for another solo episode where he discusses the John McTiernan film Last Action Hero from 1993 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. While this film was flawed and ended up losing money (check out Not A Bomb's episode), it is redeemed by a rockin' soundtrack, fun premise, and absurd comedy that is sometimes so bad, its good!

On this short episode, Alex discusses one of his favorite films of all time and why it holds a special place among hundreds of other films. Mad Max: Fury Road is the 4th film in the Mad Max series by George Miller. The film is a quick-paced, high-octane, beautifully shot return to the post-apocalyptic world that Miller originally portrayed from 1979-1985.
