What a lovely day it is as we jumpstart a brand-new mega-series. Back in 1979, George Miller essentially invented the modern action movie with the original Mad Max. Now it’s time for us to enter the Wasteland.
On this episode, Jackson Smith of Nightfall Entertainment joins the show as we talk about how Mad Max‘s vision of the post-apocalypse changed everything. Plus, we’ll spend a few minutes on The Matrix Resurrections!
SYNOPSIS
It’s a not-too-distant dystopian future, when man’s most precious resource — oil — has been depleted and the world plunged into war, famine and financial chaos. The last vestiges of the law in Australia attempt to restrain a vicious biker gang led by the nefarious Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne). Max (Mel Gibson), an officer with the Main Force Patrol, launches a personal vendetta against the gang when his wife (Joanne Samuel) and son are hunted down and murdered, leaving him with nothing but the instincts for survival and retribution.
