Episode 621: Mad Max
Added 2024-06-24 07:00:07 +0000 UTCWhen an Australian emergency room doctor set out to make a humble little car chase movie in the late '70s, he had no idea it would turn into an incredibly long-lived franchise that would light our minds on fire and cause us all to drive just a little bit faster. And now that nearly 50 years have passed, the Mad Max franchise has remained incredibly pure, with only five movies and a whopping two video games to speak of. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Diamond Feit, and Stuart Gipp as the crew enters a veritable Thunderdome of podcasting to chat about Mad Max. WITNESS US!

I watched all the Mad Max films this year. Probably one of the rare film series where almost every entry could make a solid case for being 'the best one' for completely different reasons than all of the others. I've never been happier or more pandered to than when we got to see flamethrower guitarist again in Furiosa. George Miller has always known where our bread is buttered.

2024-07-02 13:33:04 +0000 UTCGreat episode! I feel like Retronauts has been on a roll lately with a string of really good episodes. As for my personal experience with Fury Road, I remember it came out at a time in my life when I was doing a lot of travel for work. I probably saw it 4-5 times in a 12 month period, but only ever on an airplane. I remember it being one of the best movies I had seen in years. While my life circumstances have changed and I haven't seen the sequel, I'll get to it eventually. And the game too...
