Mad Max

And, and, and definitely, I think a new hope, Star Wars, a new hope.

I think Mad Max, you know, we've talked about, we drank for Star Wars.

Um, There's certain movies that firefly as a TV series.

There's these things that are clearly not Westerns.

If aliens came from another planet and they were like, we read something about Western movies.

Can we see an example? You wouldn't say, well, here's Near Dark or here's Mad Max.

I think it doesn't fall into that definition of a Western.

Does it belong on a list is a whole other thing, but I just think it...

Yeah, exploitation films specifically produced and directed from Australia.

I don't know the full story or history, but I'm pretty sure it was kind of started with Mad Max.

The first Mad Max, you know, low budget, kind of like crazy, you know, violence and action and excessive stuff.

Yeah.

That's all I really have as an opening.

Yeah, but that's literally true though.

The outbreak is fucking vicious in general.

I mean, they're kind of portraying it here, it basically feels like Mad Max, more or less.

I totally forgot about how weird the ending is, though, and I know we're going to get into it later.

Didn't even know, obviously, that George Miller, until last night, directed this movie, too, which is weird, because it's like, you know, he had just come off of, like, the Mad Max movies.

I think he had just done Thunderdome just before this one, or...

Yeah, he must have.

Yeah, exactly.

And then right after this movie, or shortly after this movie, he did the Babe movies in the 90s.

So, I mean, his career definitely took a turn, and he came back to the Mad Max movies.

But, I mean, I read some stories, and you might get into this later, about...

Oh, yeah, dope, dope, yes.

And when I saw the movie, I think it was like in 1981 or something, I saw it much later though, that was kind of my inspiration, that and Mad Max.

Oh, yeah, I love fucking Mad Max.

Oh, bro, we're gonna be boys, bro.

That's my dog.

And I saw that our man passed away.

The

villain of Mad Max.

look fucking dope.

You're gonna look like fucking Mel Gibson from Mad Max, dude.

Just squeaking as I walk by.

The other part of it that I think goes unsung is like, because you're still wearing dead flesh, you're gonna stink, right? And if they can actually smell live humans, they're probably not gonna be able to detect you.

Yeah, good.

Mel Gibson, the Aussie actor from Mad Max and goes straight to the US.

That's true.

He becomes a star in the US.

Right.

I believe that somebody who's 15 or 16 would immediately fall in love with somebody because, for instance, they were being kidnapped by biker gangs that were literally directly out of Mad Max.

Yeah.

And the Hills Have Eyes.

And they just like never even really mention it again.

And we eventually see it return to the earth when all the magic gets on.

Well, and then there's Lisa's magic powers in which, you know, she freezes the grandparents and then she makes the Mad Max people appear.

Like, there's so many abilities and crazy shit happening that could be...
