Mad Max: The Road Warrior - Western or Post Apocalypse Movie?


Listen Later

Is Mad Max: The Road Warrior a post-apocalyptic movie or a Western in disguise? Luke and guests Peter and Andres dig into the 1981 sequel that spawned an entire genre of leather-clad wasteland cinema.

In this episode:

  • The case for Road Warrior being the greatest quality jump from movie one to movie two in film history
  • Why Max only has 12 lines of dialogue (and two of them are "I just came for the gasoline")
  • The genius budget trick behind the Gyro Captain character
  • How the costume design tells you everything about who's good and who's bad
  • Lord Humongous's incredible line delivery
  • Why the final chase scene should have had audiences losing their minds in the 80s

Plus: Dog the Dog's rescue story, George Miller's unceremonious villain deaths, and Luke's promise to recap Shooter from memory if the channel hits 200 subscribers.

Ratings: Luke 8.5 | Peter 9 | Andres 10
