  • Summary

  • Get ready for an exciting new series of the Movie Wars Podcast! Today, we're kicking off the Mad Max franchise series with comedian and film critic Matthew Belivins joining Kyle for the entire series. We're also introducing a tweaked format and war card, which we think you're going to love.

    The Mad Max franchise is known for its groundbreaking stunts and dystopian imaginings. It also introduced the world to future legend Mel Gibson. Originating from the Ozploitation movement of 1970s Australian cinema, Mad Max gained international attention despite a budget of only $400K. The Shakespearean villains are more memorable than the protagonist, who would rather fade into the oblivion of the Western-style conflicts he finds himself in. Cut from the framework of traditional Westerns, Mad Max offers a dystopian take on the classic "...a stranger walks into town" formula.

    Join us as we delve into this important franchise in film history and explore the world of Mad Max.
