Episode description

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head into the post-apocalypse (?) of 1979's Max Max to celebrate the 45th anniversary of George Miller's classic.  Miller's debut film, Mad Max is set in a dystopian Australia on the brink of societal collapse.  Mel Gibson stars as Max Rockatansky, one of the few remaining police officers trying to maintain law and order.  A sadistic motorcycle gang led by Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne) becomes a thorn in Max's side when they first target his partner Goose (Steve Bisley) and then Max and his family.

The guys talk about how things seem OK for a world on the brink of collapse, how Goose becomes the main character for a large section of the movie, if Max and his wife Jessie (Joanne Samuel) are bad parents, the memorable climax where Max finally gets Mad and more.

You can watch Mad Max on Prime Video, Tubi, and PlutoTV.  Next week we're talking about the 90s spin on Most Dangerous Game, Surviving the Game for its 30th anniversary.
