Show Notes
This week, we're diving into the theme of enforcing the law in crime-ridden dystopian worlds by dissecting two iconic films: Mad Max (1979) and Dredd (2012).
We'll start with Mad Max, the cult classic that launched a franchise, exploring how it portrays a world descending into chaos where law enforcement is as brutal as the criminals. Then, we'll move on to Dredd, featuring the comic book antihero of Mega-City One, where the line between justice and vengeance blurs in a dystopia ruled by crime.
Join us as we discuss how these films tackle the harsh realities of law enforcement in dystopian futures and the impact these lawmen have on their worlds.
