"You want to get out of here? You talk to me." Buckle your seatbelt because we had Will Padilla from the "1980s Now" podcast over to watch the George Miller 80s action classic Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior just in time for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" to hit theaters. We talk about the wild aesthetics of Miller's apocalyptic adventure that follows Mad Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) who helps a community of settlers to defend themselves against Lord Humungus' Marauders and his biker gang who roams the wastelands of the Australian Outback. Name a couple more iconic to these movies than Wez (Vernon Wells) and the Golden Youth (Jerry O'Sullivan) on that motorcycle. We talk about the BDSM and leather influences that went onto be an entire vibe of the 1980s and we go into the evolution of Mad Max going from a scrappy independent 1979 film, to the post-apocalyptic Road Warriors car chases, to the monumental blockbuster Fury Road. We also take some time towards the end to break down what did and didn't work for us about the new film Furiosa.
