Starting point is 00:01:19 it had a really stacked lineup we were really happy to be a part of that. Yeah and just so people know like the Mad Max fun doesn't stop here on Patreon, patreon.com slash we ate movies. We have a full in studio episode that we recorded on Mad Max the 1979
Starting point is 00:01:34 masterpiece. I'll say it. I love this dude. Absolutely. Yeah, there's a lot of fun time. And just so you know what you're missing on Patreon if you're not on board yet. We brought back Melro 2.10, the once quarantined podcast where we talk about Beverly Hills 902 and Melrose place.
Starting point is 00:01:52 We invented once in a lifetime. I'm trying to be dramatic. Oh, it's very dramatic. And we have a brand new episode this month. That's right. And this is a level of our patron where we review Lifetime movies.
Starting point is 00:02:05 And it's a newer feature. We did stalked by my doctor, death of a cheerleader, and now the deadly Mile High Club, which is coming out this month. They're already out. I know. My wife joined us for that one
Starting point is 00:02:16 because we're both Lifetime Fanatics. Really fun episode. What are we doing on animation damnation this month? We are releasing our episode on the Tales from the Cryptkeeper, the weird, long forgotten. Long, rightfully forgotten.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And that's a long addition. It's about it, it's almost an hour long. We did that for the Salem Horror Festival. And patrons will get an exclusive video link that they can watch the show because it's kind of visual. Steve was having fun.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I was having a little bit of fun. He was having a little green screen and whatnot. Not only that, we do the Nexus. It's a Star Trek recap show. You might have heard about it. a few weeks back on Star Trek Wrath of Khan that we unlocked.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Also the Gleap Glouclery where I read Star Wars stories to these guys and they kind of rip it apart. What do we do there? What do we do there? In August. Oh, in August we did I think it's ORA sing, but I kept on saying Aurora Sing like it's Illinois.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I live in ORA Illinois. So, yeah, Ors Singh, a bounty hunter from the prequel era It was a lot of fun, really good episode. Actually, an in-studio record on that guy. And we also do commentary tracks. We did jackassmentary just recently.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Oh, yeah. Got a good response to that. We have our Snyder sessions where we went through the Snyder cut for about three hours or so. Oh, it's a big ass three-part. Yeah, it's close to four hours, honestly. Just like the fucking movie. We have a lot of fun on the main feed. You're missing a ton.
Starting point is 00:03:48 A ton. Like, even if you're catching up on television, the Mandalian Half Hour. We've done podcasts on every. single episode of that show as well as Picard. That's right. And for $10, you unlock all of that. And then it's less bit dependent. Yeah. Not going to the whole math of it all. For $10,000, you can get
Starting point is 00:04:06 thousands and thousands. Plus the Patreon archive of our first 100 or so episodes are located there. You can listen to us figure out how to do this for a while. Exactly. And I just want to stress, some people get confused with what Patreon is. You can listen to it on a regular podcast. podcast app or their app they'll give you an RSS feed to plug in and you get everything we've
Starting point is 00:04:30 ever done if you pledge on a certain level you get everything from that level it's not like you're pledging just for the month and getting just one thing no you get it all you get everything that's right now and before we get too far ahead here I just do want to hit play really quickly coming soon yes are you worried because it is the finale The grand finale that started in September of last year of the VHS trailer game for season 11. Unbelievable. The world's first and only game show that revolves on arcane materials, ladies and gentlemen. It's really exciting because it's a close race.
Starting point is 00:05:13 You know, it's for some, it's a very close race. They broke down the chances. Eric can really do it here. No, I have to get them all right. Yes, I have to get every single question right. today in order to win this. Chris is already deemed the winner, I believe, by internal documents I've found.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Currently, Andrew is the winner. Well, currently, no, no, I'm saying the preordained winner, Andrew. They're going to, they've been snake, snake and fakery here. The documents from Rome, yes. But yes, right now, where does everyone stand, game master? Andrews's been just Joe Biden in this.
Starting point is 00:05:46 He's letting everybody else fight in the muck and just kind of standing, standing aside. Got to let these snakes slither amongst themselves, And it is Andrew in the lead with 83 big points. Chris right behind her with 81 points. Eric with 52 points, which is in striking distance. And we do say that the guest team led by Angelica Jane Bastien with five big points.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Oh, yeah. Remember there's one more. You didn't read the last contestants. Oh, Stephen Sadek has zero points. Thank you. Because I say how great it's going to be. that when we we kick over into the season 12 VHS trailer game edition, this bit will be dead.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Oh, you think so, huh? I will fucking kick you in the balls cabin. Oh, I'm the one driving this. See, look at this. He's telling you to stop cheating. So, yeah, so this is the VHS trailer game. We would doing this all year long. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:48 It will likely come into season 12. We'll see. I think it's looking good. It's going to show up. If we're selling merch for it, we've got to keep doing it. That's true. But I will, you know, tweet at me at Steven Zadak. It's an easy handle.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It sounds exactly how it's spelled. Exactly. It's spelled exactly how it sounds. Yeah. Or at WHM podcast. What suggestions? Like, do you want a different round? You'll have bonus stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Whatever you want to do. Right. I am open to tinkering. Independent fact checkers or, I don't know, some type of. We get to Westinghouse Corporation involved. Oversight or, you know, any, any types of rules. Rules and conditions, like literally anything. But everyone's assholes are in their throat.
Starting point is 00:07:27 So the way that this game goes, much like every other game, there's going to be three rounds here. One is, each round is its own unique trailer. The first clue is worth five points. The next clue is worth four points, yada, yada, yada, all the way down to one point. And if you guess in one of those rounds, incorrectly, you are out until the next trailer round.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Knocked out. knocked out. So you want to be careful here, guys. That's right. Don't fucking, don't do what I did. I'm like, I think it's the last game. No, when I fucking jumped the gun on the Grinch, dude.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I didn't listen. I got to clean the shit out of my ears. Yeah. Okay. Serious, man. Serious stuff. So this is America. From Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome, a 1985 U.K. VHS tape.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Holy know, the beautiful years of 1985, it is we're in England, so Margaret Thatcher is just like squeezing the joy out of everything. So all these movies are going to be like the Crikey Chronicles or the bloke goes west.
Starting point is 00:08:34 The quiet fuck. These are all American films. Okay. Just an FYI. So here we go. Round one. Bizby goes to the market. Game Masters Clue. A venerated director,
Starting point is 00:08:50 working under an even more venerated director with his producer hat on this time produced this rancid movie a kiddie adventure to end all kiddie adventures dude you just said kitty adventure by the way a venerated director that's working under venerated has been shot or something
Starting point is 00:09:09 well like Andrew Dupin Goonies it is Goonies for five big so I've now officially lost Senior Spielbergo and Joe Dante No, uh... Oh, no, what's his face? Of course. The late great Richard Donner.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Dick Donner, of course. Sorry, Beth. All right. Round two here. Game Master's clue. In this, one of my favorite comedies... Uh-oh. A couples road trip inspired by a countercouncil classic Chris Cabin. Lost in America.
Starting point is 00:09:39 It is lost in America for five points. Derailed, just to the whole clue, just anyone who wants to know. In this one of my favorite comedies, a couple's... Road Trip, inspired by a counterculture classic, gets derailed in Las Vegas. There it is. Round three. Game Master's Clute. This actioner centers on a neolistic killing machine detective that has a weird car and a funny way of eating pizza.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Oh, I. Sorry, Eric Siska. A cobra. It's a cobra. There is. Ooh. That's, uh, oh, can you say it eject real quick? This is DVD
Starting point is 00:10:22 Oh, that's right. Okay, I wish people could see that while that was playing. Don't worry, I'm taking a picture of it. Steve decided to switch out his glasses and put sunglasses on. That's right, because it's the DVD trailer Lightning Round, where the media is lighter. The features are special, and the points are doubled. Oh, fuck. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I'm open up, don't know. Eric, I've already officially lost. No, if the points are doubled. Yeah, I mean, you can see, I mean, you can come back here, buddy. Really, okay. Yeah, because it's not just five, four, it's ten points for the game master's clue. And how many are left? Everyone was saying I had to get everyone right.
Starting point is 00:11:03 This is another fucking head game. They didn't know. They didn't know. Another fucking head game. It's okay, Eric. It's okay. It's a bit, people. Is it?
Starting point is 00:11:13 All right, so I went through my DVDs that I haven't, a binder with a really illegal DVDs that I bought of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Oh yeah. That are just like some dudes. This dude shipped me like 60 bucks a decade ago. Blank DVDs that had every single
Starting point is 00:11:33 mystery science theater. I was unemployed. I had to label them myself. That's how that works. Yeah, I'm going to burn him for you, but I ain't labeling them. But thankfully, actually in the intervening years, that shows streaming much more so I barely use it anymore. But I still have a big binder with that and just a bunch of hodgepodge of DVDs that I never threw away. So
Starting point is 00:11:50 what I'm going to do each round, it's going to be a different DVD. We'll have one trailer each. So the year of the movie that is, that's kind of your hint there. So the first round, previous, we love movies episode, a history of violence from 2005.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Yikes. So my sunglasses are on because it's really pretty cool in here. You know what I mean? It's pretty cool. Yeah. DVD is pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Oh, your hair back. Can I hear that one more time? I just want to hear it one more time.
Starting point is 00:12:21 This is DVD. Here we go. Everybody get ready. I'm ready. Game Master's Clue. A white flight paranoid thriller about a couple of good girls at East LA gang, Chris Cabin. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Havoc? It is Havoc for 10. Wow. Huge point. Havoc. 10. I mean, a history of violence, that is Chris Cavett's most watched DVD. I do love that movie quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yeah, it's skewed here. Yeah, man, I mean, that movie, the trailer of that movie is wild. Who's in Havoc again? It's Anne Hathaway. This doesn't exist. Anne Hathaway and Bijou Phillips and like Freddie Rodriguez, and it's like good white girls from the good part of town. I think Steve Zalian directed it.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Maybe. It's like vaguely ringing a bell. I don't, I can't confirm if I've ever seen it. I never have. Terrible movie. Terrible movie. Now, on my notes on a scandal DVD. What is wrong with you? You bought that movie?
Starting point is 00:13:28 I mean, actually, by the way, I take that back. I have no fucking liked to stand on criticizing disc purchases. No, my wife, it's a good movie. It's my wife's DVD, but we're keeping it. From 2006, ladies and gentlemen, just one year later. Sure. Game Master's Clue. A gripping and powerful performance of a real-world monster told, for some reason,
Starting point is 00:13:54 through the perspective of a fictional white guy. Chapter 27? It is not chapter 27. Oh, fictional white. Oh, I fucked it up. That's the reverse. There's a fictional. Ah, rats.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Game Master's Clue. A gripping and powerful performance of a real-world monster told, for some reason, from the perspective of a fictional white guy. so somebody who is fictional shouldn't be there watching a real person do something. Is this a Woody Allen movie? That was my first thought.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Okay. We're going to move on in the next one for eight points. This filmed opened Tribune Trivia. This film opened on a general release in Uganda on the 23rd of February 2007. It is a good hint.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Oh, now I fucking know what it is and I saw it in theaters. and the whole thing. The last king of Scotland. It is Eric Siska for eight big points in the last king of Scotland. Yeah. It was, you know, I take it back.
Starting point is 00:14:56 It was a good tip. See, Uganda, ladies and gentlemen. I went to see that movie at the old Lincoln Plaza, RIP, and almost got fucking choked out. Why? By the smell of the old lady perfume. Oh, got you. I was giant.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I think Chelsea and I saw it together. We were the youngest people in that. that theater, but I'm not even fucking shitting you, like 60 years. Good riddance to that point. That's now a theater of the damned. All those people are probably dead by now. Oh, absolutely. Definitely. Isn't the end of that movie like James McAvoy, like,
Starting point is 00:15:31 in Edia means house of horror? There's just like, there's like a dead body here and something. Everybody's chopped up. And that's when he's like, oh, I should get to the airport. It is so. He was back? Oh, no. Hold on, you're telling me,
Starting point is 00:15:47 Eidiamen, my best pals are baddie? Oh, my crikey. Okay, the last clue of this season. Oh, Lord. Let's do it. Hmm. Oh, from my Darjeeling Limited DVD. You got to do it, guys.
Starting point is 00:16:05 You got to do it. I got it on fucking criterion. It's sitting right next to Chris on a shelf. From 2007, just one year later again, game master's clue. A juggernaut of an indie film features a memorable Tweed indie rock soundtrack Chris Cabin.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Juno. It is Juno for 10 big points. And with that, I think he's got, I got to do some math here, but I think he did it. Of course he did. He just got 20 points.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Yeah, he did get 20 points. Do you notice how fast he buzzed in on anything? Okay, here. Now you get your floor. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. This is what happened. This is what happened. the like 05 to 07 with like the releases
Starting point is 00:16:51 that's right when you were in like high on hog film criticism like it makes sense and that's when I made sure it's Steve knew oh wait sorry no stop it you see see you see folks the bit is dead and of course
Starting point is 00:17:06 picking the aughts when I didn't watch movies well you know not as ever you didn't a little bit one or two just a few just maybe maybe one or zero Okay, so this is... Okay, here's the math.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Okay, break it down. All right. Chris Cabot did win with 106 points. Mostly from the DVD trailer. For the what? The what we had to inject World War Time. I'm sorry. I just want to make sure that I know what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:17:31 This is DVD. You were talking about DVD. I'm sorry, I apologize. Got it. Oh, DVD. Got it. That was... I thought you needed 270 to win.
Starting point is 00:17:42 No. Get out of you. All right, we're going to keep going, dude. We're not leaving until he gets to 270. Andrew Drupin had 88 points, very valiant. Okay. And then Eric Siska with 57 points. And Stephen, you know what?
Starting point is 00:17:57 Yes. Zero points. But, come on. It's not that bad. It's really not. I know everyone in their car is a fucking genius. But when you're in a hot seat, my friends, oh, you get the game master, look at you with the sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's intimidating. Staring daggers through them shades. I really don't like. I like it. It's unsettling. So that's it. So Chris Cabin, I mean, you don't have to tell us here. I won't. Do you have an idea of what you're going to do for your cameo? I have three ideas. Well, good thing. Good thing. Because the next three years, I think you'll be winning again.
Starting point is 00:18:29 You don't know it. Yes, we do. Yeah, you good luck killing this bit. I don't think you're going to have any. That fucking poor dead horse, it's just a pile of jelly. But you have three? You have two choices? I have three. Okay. you know, different in volume.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Ooh, I like this. So we'll see. Like loudness of the person, you mean? Yes. I think we're going to try to have that for our next episode, which will be Resident Evil next week. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 But we'll see. It might be the week after, depending on how, I don't know how cameo works, how quick it, you can turn that shit around. Yeah. It depends on the person.
Starting point is 00:19:08 So we'll see. But in September, we'll definitely be hearing Chris Cabin's cameo, which I think we'll have choice words for Erick's guy. I can't tell him what to do. In September, here in Cabin's cameo.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Oh, that was on the Juno soundtrack. Yeah. Do you remember the Holmes? Chris Cabin's cameo in September. The, you can't undiddle that at just sketch homeskill it. You better believe that's in that trailer. Dude. I kind of want to rewatch that movie because I remember
Starting point is 00:19:43 really like it. Even the trailer, like, it's one of those trailers we're like, oh, that's a good movie. And I kind of just the things coming out of Elliot Page and fucking Michael Sarah's mouths and fucking Rain Wilson, that line that you just like, I know. Throw it up already! I do, I might rewatch that
Starting point is 00:19:59 and reappraise. I'm curious. Oh, yeah. It's been a long time. Really need to get a second helping of Diablo Cody. You know what I'm good? No, I shouldn't. What are you going to do? I was going to tweet that I just won the game. that would be something
Starting point is 00:20:18 we're recording this by the way on July 30 first people would be quite confused for an entire do you want to get Chelsea in here to confirm this just so we have another witness yeah that's it I'm gonna do it oh great great god damn it people understand later but you know here's the thing dude that deficit was as such they know you definitely would be lying so until next week when season 12
Starting point is 00:20:39 kicks off officially with the fucking OG Resident Evil movie which I remember being righteously terrible. Please enjoy this episode of us talking Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome live at the frequency festival based out of Brooklyn, New York that we did last June, and we'll see you in season 12 next week. Enjoy. All right. All right. We are live.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Holy smokes, folks. My name is Andrew Jupin. I'm Chris Cabin. Steven Seda. Eric Siska. And we are We-Hay movies from right here. in New York fucking city
Starting point is 00:21:45 my goodness gracious it is rad to be in a performance space at home giving up for 95 bowls
Starting point is 00:21:53 everybody that was fucking awesome holy Toledo I guess I guess we'll start off yeah I'm not on cocaine
Starting point is 00:22:01 but I feel like I am now I wasn't with the sweating the sweating oh yeah cocaine sweats is the thing take a quick survey
Starting point is 00:22:08 sweaty a show of all time yes definitely excellent at home can you clap can you let us know if you're sweaty as well? It sounds like snaps.
Starting point is 00:22:18 There we go. Someone was coughing. I distinctly heard some coughing, which was great. There's a ghost in another room. If you are unfamiliar with what we do and you're tuning into the frequency festival here, we are a comedy show where we take a bad movie and sort of riff on it for a little bit,
Starting point is 00:22:35 and that's what we will be doing for you this fine evening talking. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome from 1985. Great year for some. Not so much for others. Directed by the great George Miller, of course. This is the third in a more or less rock and franchise, except this one maybe. Who's the Phantom who directed it with him? Oh, I don't know, some producer friend.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Another George, actually, which is George. George Ogilvie, I want to say his name is? Yeah, that sounds right. George Ugi loves, I think. Yeah, Ugi loves, absolutely. Because what you're going on, Miller was so upset that the producer, Byron, died in a helicopter crash, doing location scouting for the movie. He needed some help. Chris, I just don't let you know, if you ever died in a helicopter crash, I would take, like, a week off the show.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Like, a whole, a real week. We wouldn't even put up, like, a dummy episode. Like, it would just go totally dark for exactly one week. And then we would milk it. We would be, like, the best of Chris Cabin coming up for the next three weeks. Look, a week is more than my father said he would in the same instance. And he was definitely sure to sit me down and tell me, this is what's going to happen if you die in a helicopter crash. Wait, you and your old man just kicking back, chatting about if you die before me?
Starting point is 00:23:45 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Have a couple beers. Talk about how you're going to die, you know. It's tragic if your son dies before you as a parent, unless it's a cool way, like a helicopter crash. I mean, but you would have to, I mean, in the Thunderdome world, you would have to talk to your kids about what happens when you're going to die and when I die. And that, you know what? And this movie shows how hard it is to raise children in the wasteland, which is what we are entering. We are now officially in the post-apocalypse.
Starting point is 00:24:10 That's what we chose this movie. Yeah, I think so, yeah. So for those unfamiliar with this motion picture, Steve Sadek, how would you sort of distill the basic points? So this is the third movie and a motion picture franchise, but what's different about this one? Yeah, this one Mad Max rolls into Barter Town, runs afoul of Tina Turner.
Starting point is 00:24:31 You do get the Thunderdome, you're promised, and then it's like, yeah, but what if it's a different movie with cute little kids instead for the last hour? Right, because you were reminded that this movie is indeed going beyond Thunder, It's not like Mad Max rolls into Thunderdome. It's everything that happens after he, like, farts around in Thunderdome for admittedly cool 15 minutes, but... Do you think that was legalese?
Starting point is 00:24:53 They're like, you can't just call it Mad Max Thunderdome. It's barely in there. Aye, aye, hey, you're ripping him off. Maybe 10 minutes tops. You can't call it Mademak. No, no, no. Beyond. Thunderdome.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Now you're getting a little classer. It's like you call it Mad Max gyrocop. It's only one shot. this movie could have used a fucking gyrocaptor man he's got some weird like seaplane situation Super plane of some sort
Starting point is 00:25:18 It looks like the plane from what was that there Disney cartoon Tailspin a little bit Oh yeah Yeah For all those remembering Blue flew drunk in that show
Starting point is 00:25:26 Right That's what that worked Fat Bear is that right Yeah no and Steve you're right He was heavily intoxicated The entire time Also in Thunderdome I imagine there are bear pilots
Starting point is 00:25:34 Like that's how bears survive in the wasteland They're like That would be interesting You could have easily introduced some creatures from the nuclear waste, right? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:25:44 See, we're not getting into mutated creatures because, you know, the finger thing means the money there. You know, I just saw a mutated creature in that Zach Snyder flick and I'm okay. I'm good. Oh, right, the zombie tiger and the dead? Yeah, that was an ill-advised move. It would have been fine, but the CGI, man.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Nah, that's bad. So, yeah, Mad Max is just kind of driving from his last adventure. I think he went to Wawa in Australia. Got himself a hoagie. Went to Hogi Fest like you would. Mad Max beyond Hogiville, that's something, perhaps a titch more entertaining. Let me get a vegemite hoagy, extra water please on the side.
Starting point is 00:26:20 What is the submarine? You mean underwater? Is the sandwiches underwater now? Oh, you're talking about a Hogi? Oh, Hogi and submarine, same thing, okay, okay, cool. He, yeah, he gets, and this is what the movie lets you know immediately that this is a cuter Mad Max because in previous iterations it would be just some, like, nightmare biker gang, and now it's like a five, and his adorable son
Starting point is 00:26:42 that kind of fucks him over? You're speaking of Master Blaster. No. I was wondering if they're father and son. I guess not. I don't think so. I guess yes. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:26:53 Master Blaster father, son. Master shoot blank. No impregnation. No, he's just my stepson. Embargo on. I'm putting on a condom. Found him in wasteland. Does not count.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Child embargo on. Wrapped it up. I did. I don't know why he's talking like Yoda. for four months mother leave town me leave left with son for meaningful bond me go to one deaf leopard show once and go into the bathroom for some fun time and blank no but you're speaking of the pilot the pilot of the son right yeah they uh they drop something on max and uh steal his ride yeah and it's ultra confusing because it's what's his face from road
Starting point is 00:27:38 Warrior. Bruce Spence. Which is like, how is this not the same character? Is it the same character? It's not, and that's why it's stupid. But you were talking, I forget who was either you or Steve or Eric who was talking about like Mad Max as a myth. Like I can see the gyro
Starting point is 00:27:54 guy being also a myth, like and he carrying over. That's like an F-level myth then, man. You're going from Mad Max to the gyrocompan. He's the one guy who's flying everywhere. Look at Christianity, right? Like Lazarus, what's this guy doing? Like no one really care. he's like the F degree, but it's like, whoa, he keeps coming back.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Maybe that's what the gyro comes. Exactly, you need other X-Men. It can't just be Wolverine. You know what I mean? You need to sort of fill out the ranks a little bit. All I'm saying is the last time we saw that guy in a fucking Mad Max movie, he was flying a thing. And the first time we see him in this movie, he's flying a thing,
Starting point is 00:28:25 and it's not the same guy. And I know, Steve, you brought this up. It was Australia in the 1980s. It was against the law for you to make a movie on Australia without Richard Spence being in the movie. Yeah, for sure. So that's why he's there. But it's just have him play something else.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Have him play any one of these sillily named characters. Or give him a mustache, maybe. A mustache would be helpful. I thought he kind of has a little blonde bush like Eric's got over there. I got some blonde bush, upstairs and down. Excellent. But, you know, Max, I don't think he's even referred to as Max in this movie. He's just the man with no name.
Starting point is 00:28:55 So maybe this is, he's just also taken a new life. He does introduce himself to Master Blaster as me, Max. That is something that I have. Oh, does he really? Oh, you're right. He's like, me, Max. He's like, me, Max. That's the only time...
Starting point is 00:29:08 That's his new name. Mimax. Yeah. Oh, Mimax. That sounds like some little, like, green globule, but we'll be selling you the prescription on a commercial or something. Oh, yeah. How about some more Mimax?
Starting point is 00:29:20 Do not take Mimax after swimming. MeMex will cause birth defects in children. So, like, he has this kid. Did he sprouted? Bruce Spence's kid. Yeah, he has a... Did he sprouted? No, but that's what's also confusing.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Because at the end of Road Warrior, right, he's got that lady friend. So you just assume, like, they got down in the wasteland, and now he's, like, sidled with this horrible child. And then they both ate the mother? I would think so, right? That seems to be what's going on here, but they steal Mad Max's stuff. Yes, all of his shit, and then he gets all mad about, because he's mad Max, the titular Mad Max. That's what's going to happen. And I think he goes to Barter Town, and if I had to draft post-apocalyptic places I would live in,
Starting point is 00:30:03 bartertown would be pretty high. Really? Yeah, well, pretty hot. they've got electricity sure and the most important part they have Saturday nights because there is one part where you know Master Blasters really excited about
Starting point is 00:30:17 the whole situation and he's like it's Saturday night enjoy yourself I'm getting fucking laid tonight exactly man like I feel like Saturdays don't happen after the apocalypse but they do in fucking barter town but like I don't see any like potato distilleries where you can get like
Starting point is 00:30:33 booze like I'm not seeing a place it's mostly just for bloodshed. And like, I don't even see, like, there's, it doesn't seem like there's a prostitution racket in this. Well, there is a mention of the brothels. Yes, because when Max shows up to town, he's like, I do have something to trade. Actually, Alfred Hitchcock, I have something to trade.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Dude, this guy looks exactly like Alfred Hitchcock. It's disgusting. He's got skills to trade, and he's like, the brothels are full. That's the line I hear all the time. Brathels full. But even so, I don't get to see people enjoying themselves there. The only time.
Starting point is 00:31:05 You do, no, hang on a second. You do not want to see these wasteland scum fucks getting down. Oh, yeah, you're going to do. Turn this into a Harmony and Corinne movie. Do it. No. Clap at home if you want to see some mutant sex. I want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:31:19 There we go. Sounds like someone is falling down the stairs. I love it. That's many stairs. That's many stairs. I love it. And that's the thing, too, Tina Turner has an apartment in this movie. Very few apartments in the post-apocalyptic.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Pretty tough real estate market, I'd wager. And it's clean. There's no dust even, and everything's dust. The smell must be terrible because it's all powered by methane. There's pig shit everywhere. There's an underworld of pigs. Yeah, like, is it worth it having a penthouse apartment in Bartertown when you're every waking second, it smells like shit?
Starting point is 00:31:55 But do you, I guess you get used to it maybe, right? Maybe, I guess. I mean, these are concessions I just would not make. I would just commit suicide in this country. I can't even smell pig shit. We should say, I mean, that Tina Turner song that kicks off the movie. It's fucking awesome. It's a great song.
Starting point is 00:32:11 But again, Mad Max movies do not start with pop songs. I love it. Because they have two. The first one's not, we don't need another here. It's something else. Perseys Thunderdome. Yes, and she's like, something, something. And the living will envy the dead.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And I'm like, that's an odd touch for a pop song. She should have used it as like a demo version for Golden, like, Thunderdome, you'll die out. oh that would be great I've no problem with the music in this movie except for the score it gets a little like whimsical and like farty because you have a bunch of dumbass little kids
Starting point is 00:32:46 running around dude so it's got to be whimsical as hell this is like Peter Pan shit and it's stupid I do love the setup here though so Mad Max goes in he realizes that everyone stole his shit he wants it back and he wants some guzzaline as we love to call it and the only way he can get it is he has to kill
Starting point is 00:33:02 somebody and I mean like I kind of like Mad Max is an assassin kind of a situation for like five minutes. I do love the reveal of saxophone guy. Saxophone guy rules the school. He goes up to, you know, he runs a foul of like this really cool gang of like
Starting point is 00:33:19 a post-gebocle-up with nightmare people, including one guy. You sound like you want to join them. Do you like, these really cool nightmare people came by? They were so cool. I mean, these days, if the heat keeps up like this, might as well. Definitely. I do appreciate the guy, Ironbar, the really short one. He has a little
Starting point is 00:33:35 thing that makes them look taller you know what I mean like I might start doing that dude you would invest in a puppet extension exactly because it's just a weird like mask on a pole dollhead or something yeah oh yeah totally porcelain doll face that's where you measure yeah yeah yeah drunk doctor but please just measure from that anything to get me to 510 dude
Starting point is 00:33:54 anything to get me to 510 but so Iron Bar isn't the guy playing the saxophone though that's a different dude yeah they go up and there is a dude you hear saxophone and the score like oh that's kind of cool And then you turn around. It's almost like an Austin Powers gag. It's just a guy with a fucking saxophone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Yeah. It could have actually been some gag, and it's just some, like, famed Australian person we don't know. Yeah. I mean, that has to be the best gig for a saxophone player in the post-apocalypse, right? Because otherwise, you are what?
Starting point is 00:34:22 A corpse? No, well, you could be hanging out with the Lost Boys if you were in California. Well, I guess so. That saxophone guy knew what was up. Bill Clinton's probably, like, in a bunker somewhere. Oh, man, there's three saxophone guys left on the planet. It's me, someone in Australia,
Starting point is 00:34:37 and the guy hanging out with the lost boys, baby. The coolest thing is the big one happened while I was on Jeff Epstein's Island, baby. Paradise on Earth. Is that crazy, Jeff? Put your feet up. Let's relax. Yeah, he's headlining over at Lightning Dome.
Starting point is 00:34:54 With like a gag ball in his mouth and just blowing it. And, yeah, so, and, like, it's the idea is she's, like, you know, the queen of the... the city, anti-entity, as she's called? That's correct. That's correct. Only called Auntie in the movie, though, right? They never actually say the last. Yeah, what is that shit, though, then? Some, like, IMD nonsense, or what?
Starting point is 00:35:15 I think it's in the end credits, actually. Oh, man, I hate that. Like, if it doesn't make the movie, that's not the character's name. That's the action figure. That's a Star Wars rule. Everybody's got a fucking name. Well, the Star Wars rule, everybody's got a fucking 50-page back story. Which I would wish, I mean, expand this universe. Give me some little paperback novels I could
Starting point is 00:35:34 be an idiot with I think they dubbed over all of the auntie like Mel Gibson just kept on calling her Tina Tina oh crap sorry that's my problem
Starting point is 00:35:46 Tina damn it did it again they don't particularly explain how it is she's the only like non-Australian in this world yes yeah and I would love a thing about like you know I was playing a concert
Starting point is 00:35:56 when the big one went off and I got stuck here in this waistline yeah well later we do see a guy driving a car with like a cowboy outfit and cowboy hide on his car, like a cowhide on his car? Yeah. I think that guy also crossed a bridge or something.
Starting point is 00:36:12 He's Sturgle Simpson, right? I didn't, I couldn't check. No, no, I think it's Larry the Cable. Hey, cool, I'm in a wasteland. I spent so much time on this car right here. Oh, I'm dead, damn it. They say living would be the dead. I hadn't been to nobody. Look about car. Yuck.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Dude, that's a note to George Miller for your next fucking Mad Max World movie. Kill that that fucker in some way? That'd be great. You ever fart so hard, you envy the dead? All the time. Often. Yeah, and this is when she's like, you know, I'll give you all the shit you want. You just have to kill somebody.
Starting point is 00:36:45 She does almost give a backstory. She's like, but that's not important kind of a thing. Which, yes, it is, because otherwise I don't give a shit. Yeah. Well, maybe if I had seen more of her around, but like these are the scenes, folks. The middle part here where you see Tina Turner, that's it until the ending. So, like, if you had gotten more time with her, her in the city, maybe I would be like, yeah, I don't need
Starting point is 00:37:06 a backstory. She's doing stuff. Right, right, right, right. But she's not doing stuff. And this is like the traditional Mad Max deal, right? It's like, you give me you know, X amount of your time, do you know, Y chore, and then I'll give you a gasoline, a bunch of water, and then you can just fuck off to wherever the next movie is. Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I have to say something about the casting in this movie. There was an actor, and it wasn't in quotation marks. It was an actor named Angry Anderson. Yes, I think Angry Anderson plays Iron Bar. Okay. I would just be calling all my kids like moods. Pist off
Starting point is 00:37:42 Pete and so on. Yeah, yeah. Horny Latimer. No, you're not calling your kid horny? Yeah, what's the matter? Why not? Oh, this one's going to be my horny child. You can't call a kid horny? Sad cabin and horny cabin. Yeah, but now you're looking that, sad cabin I definitely would get behind. You got to be off the grid if you're raising horny kids. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:00 You are looking at a baby's face and I shall dub thee. Horny. Yeah, as I'm being carted off in handcuffs, screaming, no, it's horny! Well, the last one looked like a Jeff, but you look a lot like a horny. It's a family. Not horny for me. No, okay, now I'm in jail.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Look, come on. You've got to understand. Oh, no, okay, I'm being sorry. What, I'm arrested? Oh, no. Yeah, but there is, yeah, there's Barter Town, which rules and a sick two-for-one Saturday nights. Apparently, yeah, totally. And underneath, in the underworld.
Starting point is 00:38:33 is where all the methane comes from, which is pig shit. It's where the sausage is made. I was like, dude, because there is pig killer who is obviously, you know. Pig killer, but you get a look at this pig killer? It looks exactly like Zach Woods. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The sleepless nights look, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this supposed to be like a brand or something?
Starting point is 00:38:52 It looks like they put like sun lotion on him except for, to make it say pig killer on his chest. Oh, is that right? It's just like a little, like a beach prank? Yeah, it might have been a beach prank. I feel like that's got to be going on in Australia, especially in the post-apocalypse, where it's all beach. Tons of pranks. Yeah, George Miller definitely seems like the type who would run that kind of.
Starting point is 00:39:12 No, no, no. We're going to put the stencil on his chest. Just wait right. Oh, yeah. I didn't even notice what you're talking about. I'm pig killer. This is my friend fake glasses guy where he has fake glasses on. On his chest it says pig killer.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Got it, got it. It's funny because. You were saying we get to see this is how, you know, the sausage is made. And pig killer was actually... He was trying to make some sausage.
Starting point is 00:39:41 He got arrested for fucking making some sausage. I mean, I know power is important, but you need all 600 pigs. Like, that could be a fun little barbecue you could have with like two or three. Well, if you want to run the Thunderdome lights, I imagine you need all of us. I guess the society functions more than like, we're going to barbecue the people who fail at Thunderdome, right? Yeah. Cannibalism? That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:40:02 What is the cannibalism? situation in this world. It's got to be going on. It's got to be fucking sky high, right? Absolutely. We're just eating each other left and right. You have to put that in this movie. Yeah, clap at home if you would eat another man. Dead silence. Oh, one person. One person fell down the stairs.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Somebody else. Okay. Pulled human tacos. No, I would have liked that. Your claps are legally binding, by the way. Now you have to. Yeah, we're going to do like a fear factor thing next or something. What in the ever-loving fuck is that? People are catching up. They're hungry for some like man steak, dude.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Yeah, yeah. They're hungry now. It's getting towards dinner time, but it's true, yeah. Man steak at the outback steakhouse? No rules just right. All human being steaks. So he's trying to get his car back, correct? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Is the thing. Hey, Max, they're fucking with your car, man. I do like the idea that we're building with the world here. Like, gas is becoming even, like. harder to get so now his vehicle is being pulled by camels so yes yes and they're selling the camels as if they're cars yes now listen this baby has so much engine in her don't you worry about no you take the gasoline and you pour it in the asshole is what you do that's the easiest way it's like a car it's exactly like a car don't worry about you say power steering which i imagine is like you grab that
Starting point is 00:41:26 god damn camel's neck and you start jerking it don't worry you use enough power neither of you should ever ride an animal. I have once. Well, really? What are we talking? A horsey. A horsey. How'd that go?
Starting point is 00:41:38 It was scary. I was terrified of the only horse I ever rode. Yeah. Everybody's riding horses. Wait a second. Bronx boys riding a horse? What did this happen? I wrote a horse named puddles and I cried my eyes out.
Starting point is 00:41:50 That's what happened. For how long? You cried puddles over puddles? Yes. Somebody needed to take the horse away from me because I was so upset because this horse was so upset that you were so upset that you were upsetting the horse. Exactly. I think that's how that works.
Starting point is 00:42:02 You as a child. It was a fucking 38-year-old man. I wrote a horse as a man, an adult. And I had no idea how to control the thing. And it started going into, like, traffic. And I'm just like, someone's got to come get us. Help him. Help him, somebody.
Starting point is 00:42:17 What was the situation where you had a horse on the freeway? I was on my honeymoon. More on that later. So there are no horses. There doesn't seem to many horses in this world. It's mostly camels and, like, beat up shitwagons. Yeah, because I think the horses were, they were ridden to the ground and or eaten pretty quickly. Definitely, yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Yeah, yeah, that's a delicacy. Did people eat camel? Camel probably tastes pretty okay. Probably. What's going to? I eat it. A hump steak? I take a hump steak.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I don't think you're eating a hump steak, dude. Isn't that where the water is? Yeah, that's true. Oh, like a wet steak. Yeah, a wet steak. I don't know what, I don't want a wet bowl of camel meat. No, no. Water steak sounds bad. Yeah, so we also get introduced to who we talked to about a little bit, Master Blaster, who's
Starting point is 00:43:01 He runs the underworld But also secretly He kind of runs border town You kind of find out Barter Town Also, Master Blaster Two people Yes
Starting point is 00:43:11 Right? It's like a fun Halloween costume Because Master is like a little guy On the shoulders of Blaster Which is like a big dude He's riding an animal All back around There were some creative college kids Who tried to do this with their buddy
Starting point is 00:43:25 And their neck is fucked up to the day Oh totally Like come on Gary You just get on me you're shorter. You're squeezing too much, bro. You're squeezing. It's 1985.
Starting point is 00:43:35 We got to do it. This wasn't worth it, man. Nobody gave a shit about this movie. I thought you were shorter. No, I'm the blaster. You're the man. I don't remember anything. I'm going to pass out.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Yeah, so, like, basically, Tuna Turner is feeling threatened by the fact that Master Blaster kind of runs shit, which he shows by doing embargo. Which is like, hey man. And fuck you, now the lights don't work, which I love. It's kind of like... Power move. If you were, like, hanging out in the backyard and you were, like, being loud and whatnot with your friends and everything, like, maybe on a Saturday night, like at Bartertown
Starting point is 00:44:13 Saturday night. And your parents, like, flick the deck lights. Like, we fucking own this place. It is ours. Curfew in four minutes. Get these transient friends off of my patio. Embargo. Cannot write about this Marvel movie until five days before release.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Oh, man. That is a kind of embargo. Yeah, it's a kind of embargo. Cuba, that's another one. Also another one. Two famous embargoes, dude, Cuba and movie reviews. That's about it. But Master, at least, really wants to hear it from Tina Turner.
Starting point is 00:44:48 He's like, embargo, say you like me. Say it loud. Exactly. So everyone can hear. I don't think the back heard it. How handsome am I? I'm listening. Embargo.
Starting point is 00:45:05 So what the idea here is Max is going to have to assassinate Blaster so that master is on his own. That's right. And Tina Turner can really run barter town. If I was master, though, I would definitely have a backup blaster. You know what I mean? Definitely. A whole army of them. That's exactly.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Because this shit could happen. Like obviously you're a little exposed. It's like, okay, here, Blaster too. He's kind of fast. but he's pretty strong. Blaster 3 has one leg, but he's okay. He runs the underworld, and there's guys like
Starting point is 00:45:38 Pig Killer who are just down there shoveling shit for a living, like, no, you lift weight, you're Blaster 2. Yeah, you could whip Pig Killer into shave, and he could be the next one, right? Yeah, totally. Blaster 4, it's just my brother-in-law. He's kind of a jerk, but he was the best I could find.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Then you can name yourself Master Killer, which is pretty sweet. We must get you protein. We must feed you protein to balk you up. So whatever, man. The whole thing is, like, you got to face off against his motherfucker in Thunderdome. And here comes, like, the promise of the movie 15 minutes into the situation here. Well, no, first we do get the Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:46:16 We're like, it's like, the idea is Max has to, like, shove blaster in the middle of the causeway. Oh, right. She's like, you got to start shit and, like, basically, like, fake a fight. Because the whole thing is, it's a society built on, like, any disagreement is, In Thunderdome. Yes. Because they say something about like disagreements
Starting point is 00:46:35 turn into larger disagreements which eventually leads to war. So this is like the second there's even the slightest offense in Thunderdome and one of you was fucking dead before the day is out. You know early on people were doing it
Starting point is 00:46:47 over like lawn stuff and like you spat near my camel and stuff like that and then they were like oh no it's for real we're going to die. I'm going to battle into the deaths because I like Goldfinger a little bit more than Casino Royale.
Starting point is 00:47:00 That's it. And you like that more than me, so that's it. And that's how the pop culture wars ended and all the nerds killed each other in Thunderdoll. What a good idea. Look at this. The post-apocalypse turns out it's great. Only goldfinger. But, you know, the Thunderdome is iconic and it's amazing in this movie.
Starting point is 00:47:18 And I just wish they would go back to it at some point. Like they just do it to start. And then we hang out with some little kids. Yeah. And then the movie kind of ends. I want. Because, like, they keep telling the heart, man. This is what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:47:31 You're going to fight. Blaster only in this battle. And it's, you know, you get weapons and da-da-da-da-da. Two men enter, one man leave. We'll say that a bunch. But no one's like, and then also, by the way, here's this Cirque du Soleil bouncy apparatus. Like, no one ever, like, he has to be like, what are you tying me to? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:47:49 I'm going to need a training lesson on this bungee before I get into a fight to the death. I don't know how to use this apparatus. Yeah, they just, this was, this used to be a place where they did Cirque du Soleil. And they just had all the leftover bungee. And this Thunderdome, we do it to Beatles music. It's Thunderdome love. Man, people will throw money away on that shit left and right every day, every which way.
Starting point is 00:48:12 So there's a battle with a lot of jumping. They take big blades from up on the... It's kind of cool. Hell damn ass chainsaws. It's funny because, you know, gases, there's a shortage. I like that the chainsaw just doesn't work. Yeah, well, because they're trying to put pig shit in it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Because it's pouring pig shit out. One thing that they set up that doesn't get paid off because we only have one entry in Thunderdome is there's these spikes, and what Blaster is trying to do is kind of like boomerang him into or slitting shot him into the spike because if it gets into it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I want that to happen to somebody once. Yes. You know what I mean? In the movie or now? That would be fine, too. Either or really. I mean, but you get the, it's like Emilio Estevez a Mission Impossible with the elevator.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Yes. Like a spike just right in your fucking news. Because Blaster's like, maybe. and he goes in and he keeps just missing it. I think also if you took the weapons out of this, it's a pretty rad like 1990s Nickelodeon game show. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Don't you, right? Like, you could picture like Michael Malley like hosting an episode of Guts where he's like, yeah, we're back in the Thunderdome now and there's two tiny children they're going to swing around with chainsaws and one. And one will die. That we promise you. I mean, Nickelode do that now. People will finally watch
Starting point is 00:49:24 that failing network. Yeah, they might come back up if, yeah, the guy's just walking around. Well, there's a, can somebody, this is kids brains on my shoe. Yeah, I mean, you didn't think they weren't losing lives on the set of Double Dare left and right? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the agro-crag is here.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Totally. Goopin times. Let's go to Mo for the videotape. Guts jokes. Some kid had to have drowned in that green sign. Oh, you know, there was probably like asbestos in it. Who the fuck knows what they were doing? Oh, definitely. I got lung cancer because I was on Nick Arcade.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Absolutely. You give it five years. There will be a ten-part podcast about that very thing. Chapter four, the test results. The OMAC had, like, the smoke that came out of his mouth was totally toxic. Oh, my God. No one told me the smoke coming out of my mouth was menthol. Nobody talks about the other cases that Aaron Brockovich investigated, but O'Mack was one of them.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Absolutely. Aaron Brockovich got so much justice for so many Nickelodeon persons. personalities. And, yeah, so I mean, the fight we're underselling it at touch. It rules. It's really cool. It's very good. And Max gets this giant mallet, this like cartoon, this looks like a Mario weapon or something.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Yeah, totally. You'd knock out Bowser with this fucking thing. It's great. Boom, boom, boom, bump. Yeah. Just like that, whatever the fuck that person is. Exactly it. Thank you. Yep, there it is. I'm so glad my equipment left through the post-apocalypse Gallagher. I'm the only stand-up comedian left
Starting point is 00:50:59 on the whole fucking planet. Now I just need some watermelons. I was banished to Australia for being terrible. Oh, that just continues to be great. Yeah. Okay, two watermelons enter. There you go. Zero watermelons leave because I'm blacks in them both.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I can't believe in the post-apocalypse. Even my stupid gay jokes don't work. God damn it. Gallagher, you broke the law. You destroyed two watermelancholyms. Ellen's instead of one. So you break a deal, you face the wheel. Yeah, he's been, I mean, he's had to have been in the Thunderdome at least, like five times
Starting point is 00:51:36 at least, just for little petty grievances that he has. O'Galliger, yeah, he would have been wiped the fuck out of the federal. Because he's annoying. Like, I feel like if you're annoying, you're always in the Thunderdome, and or you're dead. Yeah, you're hoping for dead. It would be great if he was the one up on the spike. So they take that big mallet that you usually hit with Donkey Kong with, and they knock off Blaster's helmet.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Yes. and the rub is what Tina Turner was disingenuous about. I forgot to mention the whistle. Oh, the whistle, yeah, yeah. Aspects, sorry. Because he finds out earlier in the film that he's a bit, blasters, a bit sensitive to hearing or has sensitive, you know, hearing kind of a situation and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:52:16 So that's how he gets the best of him is he starts blowing a whistle and then he beats the shit out of him. And he knocks the helmet off. And it is revealed, and this is information that clearly Tina Turner knows about and has not been forthcoming. Oh, my God, is, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:52:32 Who's there? Can you fucking ban that person or something? But, yeah, so, yeah, he has Down syndrome, and that's something that, like, no one knew until the mask comes off, and Max doesn't want any part of it. And then somehow Master comes in, he's like, he has the mind of a child. Oh, come on, man, I need this dude.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Hey, wait a second. But it's a nice... Blaster 2 will not be ready for three more weeks. Embargos. Embargoes for everybody. Until I get a new blaster. All embargoes. It's a nice moment in the movie because it reminds you again of Max's humanity.
Starting point is 00:53:13 You know, I think sometimes, like, in these movies, it's a little hard because he's just kind of like the vessel for the story and there's not much, like, characterization. But this is like, oh, even Mad Max has limits, which is great. So someone else unfortunately murders this poor guy is the idea. A sniper. No, it's an iron bar. This guy's a real dirty son of a bitch in this movie, huh?
Starting point is 00:53:32 Crossbows. Pretty cool. I love seeing a crossbow bolt going to a guy's belly. And that's the end of him. And then now it's like, now Iron Bar is basically master's boss kind of a thing. And he's got to have to make a bartertown run or else he's going to get fed to the pigs. Like Gary Oldman and Hannibal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:52 I have a problem with this. These pigs are not big enough to eat that little guy. I'm sorry. You don't think so. What are you talking about? They would have a fucking field day with this guy. What if you broke him up a little bit? They'd eat him like a Macintosh apple, dude.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Do you crazy? He's taking a few of them down with them. I think you're going to really eat it at the end of all this. You're going to have less pig shit to run your city. Yeah. Just for an execution. Just for a flashy execution. Human flesh probably makes great pig shit.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Do you think that methane would burn a little brighter? Maybe. Because it's got like the soul. That's an interesting thing. I mean, is it only like pig? that can get this going? Oh, yeah, that's right. Like, there must, I mean, we never see how they shit in this society.
Starting point is 00:54:34 I would love that to be explored. Big burning question watching Mad Max beyond Thunderdum. What's the bathroom situation? I bet you in Bartow Town is kind of like a composting situation. You bring your bag of shit to the farmer's market. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just saying, depending on the evening, my shit and pig shit, not a huge difference. Well, you're walking in both all the time here.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Yeah, exactly. They don't really point that out. looks too dry most of the time I'll be honest with you it'd be more sloppy yeah that's a good point so Master you know kind of falls in line and like Max has broken the deal by the way
Starting point is 00:55:08 because he didn't kill which he's got to face the wheel what deal oh that's why yeah he's just like oh you're fucking double timing me now unbelievable yeah and Tina Turner jumps down
Starting point is 00:55:23 it's like all right you know even if it's unfair we had a deal and if you break the deal you face the wheel and our Alfred Hitchcock looking guy, I just love how he comes and to support her all the time just like jumping up and being like, break the deal, face
Starting point is 00:55:38 the wheel. I too can reiterate the rules, yes, good evening. This guy's getting paid in feet picks for sure. That's how this works. By the way, one of the dumbest parts of the IMDB Tribune trivia for this movie mentions that they say there are no rules in
Starting point is 00:55:54 Thunderdome, but uh-oh, there's a rule that two men enter one man leaves is not and is that not a rule that's a rule what is the like sometimes oh you read those things no rules just right is what you're thinking no I fantasize about like the conditions in which someone sat down
Starting point is 00:56:09 at like an iPad or a computer and whatnot and was like I'm gonna set the fucking record straight about this Mad Max error yeah I'm gonna do it right on this IMDB trivia section and I'm gonna save the world by spending time writing you really have to imagine the crippling loneliness that's really what is driving the IMD message
Starting point is 00:56:25 just to be angry about it, just to watch the movie and be like, okay, all right, Thunderdome, okay, that's coming up, okay, two men enter, one man leave, and then the guy introduces it, great performance in his emceeing of this thing, and saying that there are no rules in there in terms of the fighting, and then they're
Starting point is 00:56:41 they introduced a rule already, oh my God. Quick question about the emcee, does that guy have an apartment as well, you think? Definitely. Probably. Not as nice as Tina Turner's, and maybe he doesn't have a saxophone guy. This cape looks pretty clean. It does. He looks like, if Oingo Boinga had a
Starting point is 00:56:57 Flavav He's got a cape And everything I could totally see that Yeah Absolutely He's really doing it up He's another guy
Starting point is 00:57:04 You would like to see Come back in the third act Of this movie But this movie's terrible No no no No no We can have kids though We can have a bunch of kids
Starting point is 00:57:10 In the wild I guess Yeah he spins He doesn't get So it's like So set the scene though Right It's like a wheel Of fortune type thing
Starting point is 00:57:17 You spin this wheel And there's a bunch of like You know Oh charges are dropped You're executed Immediately free vacation I got the options Right here
Starting point is 00:57:25 Hard labor. Nice. And then there's one that's underworld, which I guess is the pig shit, but I thought there would be hard labor. I don't know what the difference is there. A quiddle. Spin again, which I like that they put that on there. Two weeks stay in Margaritaville in Cabo San Lucas. Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Gulac, forfeit goods, death, life imprisonment, auntie's choice, or amputation, my favorite. Wow. I was really hoping that the wheel landed on start a fucking Mad Max movie. That's why I really hoped it landed on I'm really, you know, I have a lot of I really am glad that Vanna White came on to do this one scene I'm glad she was there
Starting point is 00:58:06 they didn't get Pat, I wish they had gotten Pat but hey. Pat Sejack somehow thought he was above being in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Yes, I imagine he was on his own Thunderdome. He's at home jerking off to Ronald Reagan. Which is where he calls the Thunderdome. He's like a nightmare, right? He's like a right wing nightmare? He's a total terror.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Insane person. Yeah, that dude fucking stinks. Yeah, so he gets Goulag, which means he has to do that... Exile. I don't understand why they call it Gullog. He has to do that crazy horse song, the horse would have to listen to that and repeat for the rest of your life, see how long it takes before you take your own life. In 1985, Goulog was very hot. Everyone was talking about it.
Starting point is 00:58:41 But still, like, just call it ex. That's what it is. I love that they put on this, like, Bob's Big Boy style kind of helmet on it. Yes, whatever this fast food mascot was from the before times, absolutely. The Rue Burgers or something. franchise. Yeah, we collect these, you know. We have a whole house just full of the Bob's big boys, the leftover ones. By the way, we asked the question earlier on the show at a different episode about if Australians eat kangaroo meat. We got a resounding yes. They love that
Starting point is 00:59:10 shit. Apparently, yeah. They eat it with every meal. They put it. This is the episode to set the record straight on all seas. But I mean, think about it. You're in the desert. It's post-apocalyptic. They show the sun. You're on a horse. They put this huge helmet on. or you're wearing all these clothes. It's like three to four degrees hotter than it is on this stage. It's like totally, like, whoa, dude. Could you imagine it?
Starting point is 00:59:33 I might be sitting in quicksand right now. And I just need to reference by John Belushi cocaine sweat that's going on right now. Well, we did do some speedballs before the show. Just a couple. I mean, Alfred Hitchcock and this definitely has cocaine sweat all day and all night.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Oh, yes, for sure. I mean, he's really doing it. I mean, he also seems like he's turning into like the old guys who run the universe and hitchhiker's guide. Yeah, those big pig people. Yeah, I'll take your word for it, man. The clothing is shedding off
Starting point is 01:00:02 to become one of them, the great ones. And, yeah, so they, you know, it's basically, they have this little bottle of water for the horse. The horse is like, ooh, water and basically fucking tears off. I was going to say, though, I mean, this is a horse
Starting point is 01:00:15 that they didn't eat. True. So they have, like, gulog horses, right? Well, this one's very stringy. You wouldn't want to eat this one. I'll be honest with you. It's interesting. to waste resources on
Starting point is 01:00:26 someone like this when you can just kill them. Yeah, that's a good thing. Totally. Just get that fucking chainsaw that I saw back in Thunderdome, fill it up. Ice that dude. Yeah. This horse shit is ridiculous. We can't spare the pig shit. Okay? You're going to have to kill him the old way. I will say this is the first of
Starting point is 01:00:42 two amazing quicksand deaths. This horse gets sucked down. This is my question about it, though. I think that horse is already dead. Yeah, he's dying. Yeah. So it's not as tragic. as the other one, I guess. The other one's not that tragic either.
Starting point is 01:00:57 No, not at all, actually. One less rotten lost boy in this world. Kind of expected, honestly. So, yeah, the horse fucking... What are you doing? He's doing something. I was just curious if, like, that... You know, PETA isn't in Australia,
Starting point is 01:01:11 so, like, they just killed in excesses horse. Some kind of a thing. Why was it in excesses' wars? I mean, they had an extra horse for a video, and, like, nobody wanted it after that. We'll give it to George Miller. Oops, that horse died quick. The video for Don't Stop.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Yeah, absolutely. Did that guy, like, hang himself on a horse, like, an old western when they, like, throw... No, I'm saying, right? He's Ballad of Buster Scruggs himself. Yeah, you know, you put... Folks, try this at home. You put a news on someone, put them on a horse, it's attached to a tree, the horse eventually leaves, and they get hung. Let me just say, specifically, do not do that.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Also, spoiler alert for Buster Scruggs. Thanks for nothing. Spoiler alert for the in-exess biography. he's fine he's doing better than we are right now but yeah and max uh is thrown from the horse he survives the quick said but and walks a little further on but then totally passes out we didn't mention by the way he's definitely rocking like the fucking william wallace in this movie it's a terrible wing it's awful what is going on when he finally gets a haircut i'm like i'm so relieved for the movie i think that i don't have to look at that anymore they were trying to make it like
Starting point is 01:02:20 look so damaged from the weather yeah that it just looked it looked like a barrel of hay on his head. It does. But like Mad Max Ratansky is a dude that will like look at himself and be like, oh my hair's getting a little long and just like pull it out of his fucking head. Yeah. Like he would not allow this William Wallisling to happen. Oh, he's
Starting point is 01:02:37 maybe he's trying to distance himself from what Max was. I wish the movie would explore stuff like this more because apparently there was a cutscene where he wakes up in the night. He had a dream about his family from the first movie and I would love to tie into the first movie in any way.
Starting point is 01:02:53 That or more about his hair I could use 45 minutes on the hair More hair, yeah I mean you wake up and you've been shaved into like a nice Titan cut right there I would be furious If I have a main like that And then I'm just being cut into like a military cut
Starting point is 01:03:07 I'd be furious In heat hair is very bad Yeah that's true Yeah he gets rescued by a girl named Savannah And taken to a thing that I like Not love but like And everybody else on this panel hates which is the lost boy island of misfit whatever
Starting point is 01:03:25 is kind of a situation. It's just like, if I want to watch fucking hook, I'll do it. Oh, there's a horse apparently. Guys, there's a horse watching. I think we're in exile right now. I used to like this segment. I used to be fine with it, but on my rewatch, I watched it twice this week.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Both times I just felt like this is what started to drag the movie. We got an anchor around the movie now. It's a different movie. the movie changes entirely. Because it's, I mean, like, we didn't mention this, but this is a classic case. If they had a movie that was adapted from a book that was basically like a post-apocalyptic,
Starting point is 01:04:02 Lord of the Fly situation, and then they were like, hey, you know, it would be kind of cool. Maybe we drop Mad Max into this script. Now it's a Mad Max. That's why it doesn't feel like literally every other Mad Max movie. Because it's not one. So I guess did they like just write the start of the movie, just fit Max in?
Starting point is 01:04:21 That's why the first 45 minutes is great, because we have a Mad Max movie. And the ending, I guess, is also a Mad Max movie in terms of the stunts and the chase. But I feel like it's repetitive. It's nowhere near as good as either of the previous film. I mean, this middle section is just all about like, oh, the wonder of storytelling. And, like, he, they believed in some guy named Captain Walker who was going to do what Max did, but didn't. Who care? But that shit about the storytelling is legit to the world because it's all about, like, you know, the legend of Max and everything like that.
Starting point is 01:04:51 but this other shit about like they are like the descendants of people who survived a plane crash that's all from this book they would make all their own mythos like anyone you know like you get a i bet there's some weird guy in the woods right now that's like oh yeah captain can't wait for my mythos to be told yeah exactly well i think the thing is like you know captain walker was like this dude it's like basically dad went out for cigarettes kind of a situation like everyone's like hey you guys chill out here we're just uh we're back at like 20 minutes. Yeah, totally. And then they just never came back. Can you get
Starting point is 01:05:25 us some juices? Uh-huh, yeah, juices coming back and the video and all sorts of cool stuff. Can I get a roll-o? He left because it kept doing that creepy like, uh-uh. Oh, yeah, that's weird. They did that weird, like, chanting. Oh, God. Yeah, I don't know what they're doing. Well, they're also doing stupid talk.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Yeah. From, like, uh, children often do. Like, it's also, I think it's a Cloud Atlas is it where like, I'm going on the Wakiwoo. Yeah. Or like, I got to go find foodie hop. He did talking weird, weird talking, come out mouth, kind of blah, blah, blah. You know, I think they're exploring something interesting here.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I don't know if it works, but it's like if children only survived a crash and just perpetuated the English language, it would be butcher. Yes, sure. In the other, like the first two movies, they kind of do stuff like that. Like, there's slang words thrown in and like fake sounding shit or whatever. But the one that I love is, uh, he's got word stuff from his ass to his mouth. what I thought that was was like that's their way of saying like
Starting point is 01:06:21 well that dude that dude's talking shit right it sounds like an ass is that's amazing it sounds like an iTunes review I love I don't know what the decision is to give him a haircut though I mean aside from like while sleeping by the way that's when you don't want your hair to get cut
Starting point is 01:06:39 also I'm looking at you third act of Logan which is exactly this movie by the way oh yeah I guess that's true getting a haircut in that motion picture No, no, just, like, basically, like, going to an island full of kids that, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. You're kind of this reluctant hero. Do they get him a haircut?
Starting point is 01:06:54 I don't believe that they do. Maybe they do. I don't know. No, Wolverine doesn't need haircuts. What are you talking about? I don't know. I mean, if it's just like it. Isn't it just like it's just, it's the same way?
Starting point is 01:07:04 I think he can get a buzz cut. It would come back. He has to clip it sometimes. But it's got to grow really fast, though, right? Yeah, I think so probably. Oh, hmm. Yeah. I'll let's back to that.
Starting point is 01:07:14 So, I mean, whenever you bring up Wolverine and his growing abilities, again, I'm fixated on foreskin. Why? Because if you cut something off a superhuman that regenerates everything, you'd think that if they tried to circumcise Wolverine, he would just grow back to foreskin. All this research you've been doing for Bill Gates, it's got to stop.
Starting point is 01:07:33 You've got to give it a rest. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been funding my research into Forskins. Specifically X-Men, Forkskin. Honestly, this has gone too far. That's why we got to tax people because they're spending their money on Forskine. You should have just gone to stand the man
Starting point is 01:07:46 before he checked out, dude, see what the real deal was. So, like, basically, you know, they explain, like, we've been waiting for Captain Walker. Now you're going to fly this great plane and take us off back to our cities. He calls, they call them skyscrapers. Tomorrow morrow land. Tomorrow, morrow land.
Starting point is 01:08:01 And right there. Yeah, I know. Fuck you. Right there. That's Never Never Land. And you're making me thinking about Peter Pan. I came here for three things. People getting horribly murdered, car chases, and car accidents.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Because that's what these movies are. I do appreciate this weird little. frame they used for their storytelling where it's like a stick and then it's like here's the outline of what a movie screen would be. Yeah, totally. We made a little fake TV. Yeah, fake TV to move across and pan across like
Starting point is 01:08:28 cave paintings. It's very adorable but it's just from a different movie. But what I like about it at least is Max is just like, oh, hey cool, what you've got here is no warlords. Check it out. Zero warlords. A lot of running water.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Yes, a lot of water and just like beds you can sleep and it seems like food's doing okay. He is sizing up like a sweet David Koresh situation. Absolutely. Do you know you think I'm captain whatever the fuck? Yeah sure I am. Absolutely. Okay, how many of these children am I married? Exactly.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Yeah, I believe Keptin Walker was promised 12 wives. Now the American ATF is outside for some reason. They're going to set fire to the compound. Oh yeah, you missed a bunch of stuff on these cave drawings here. There's a bunch of problems here. Yeah, he has 12 wives. He gets
Starting point is 01:09:16 everything. He controls all the food, all the drink, all that. It's the Branch Mex-Divitian. I can write it for you. Hold on one second. Because he is like, I mean, look, he's doing it more benevolently than that. It's like, what we're going to, because the kids are like, if you're not going to take us, then we're going to go.
Starting point is 01:09:32 And he's like, no, what we're going to do is sit the fuck down, live a long life. And my favorite line in this movie is Mel Gibson looking at all these rat bastard little kids. And be grateful. The grateful line is a very, fucking pointed.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Yes, but not to dwell on it now, Mel Gibson's actual religion is probably further crazy than Branch Davidian. Yeah, for sure. I would imagine, yeah. I don't know where it is at this point. It doesn't have a name.
Starting point is 01:09:58 It's like Australian super Catholic as I believe it is. Doomsday Catholic. The snake boys. And Savannah, who rescued him, is kind of leading a faction because they're like, no, there has to be tomorrow, Mariland.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Like, this movie should be called Mad Max, kids are dumb as fucking shit. He's like, listen to him. He's like, listen, dudes, there is nothing out there. Everything is shit. I just came from a shit factory. There's pigs everywhere.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Like, you will be eaten alive if you walk one step off this. We had rumors they have Saturday nights, though. Is it true? There are Saturday nights, but they're not as exciting as you think. All right. You will die.
Starting point is 01:10:39 No, tomorrow, Morrowland. Death swallowed by the sand. Tomorrow. But I want to watch the Thundee Dole. I would be a spectator at Thunderdome Oh, absolutely. Dude, I would be a season pass holder of Thunderdome.
Starting point is 01:10:54 I guarantee you, if Max wrangled these kids properly, four years tops, there's another Thunderdome that Max is running. Because he's bored. Look what the fuck's he going to do? We got to thin this head. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:07 He looks like he stepped on Roger's foot. You got to go to Thunderdome, little buddy. You and Roger got to figure it out. Is he like building a similar structure? Absolutely, yeah. Bunching and all. Maybe it's a little smaller for children. Thunder Dome Jr., dude.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Now it's on Nickelodeon. Excellent. There's some bouncy balls in it. Yeah, that's the thing. Some things are like bubble gum and some things are chain saws. Two kids enter, one kid leaves. Two kids enter.
Starting point is 01:11:38 One kid leaves. Mid-power. Nickelodeon death fights. It's a total kid power move. Absolutely. We should definitely have children fight to the death. Yeah, the janitor is there like, I didn't think I'd be cleaning up this many kids' eyeballs. I'll be honest with you.
Starting point is 01:11:55 I didn't think there'd be this many. They pop right out. When can I retire from Thunderdome Jr.? Never going to sleep again. That's a great point, Chris, because I think the skull is softer, so you hit that really hard. It's a mess. It's a mess. It's a complete mess.
Starting point is 01:12:10 It's a hamburger city. It's just a walking hamburger. It is. That's true. The cool thing, though, with, like, where they live in this little, like, desert oasis or whatever is, like, there's a water source there. So you could have, like, the water level of, like, Funded Dome Jr., you know what I mean? Hydrodome? Because really what we're talking about here is, like, American Gladiator events.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Sure, absolutely. So they got into water sports on that show. Pardon me? In the apocalypse. No, no, no, no, no. We're not going to use water for drinking. To spray down the fighters while they're trying to fight each other. It's for spectacle, please.
Starting point is 01:12:41 You can try to get some, like, drink as it falls off their, like, you know, body. And also, the problem with Max as this leader, if he stayed, these kids are like 39 seconds away from puberty, and it's going to get gross real quick. Oh, that's a dog tooth situation, and then you fuck. Exactly. Everybody's fucking everybody. Finger stuff as far as the I can see. That's why he wants to stick around. Yeah, I think that's actually true.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Well, yeah, the younger ones are talking about Tomorrow, Marrowland, but there's a couple of, like, older boys who are like the prostit prostitutes. That's what I can't wait for. That's what I'm looking for. I hear they have them. Well, they got nothing to barter with. For services rendered, I guess they'll figure it out. Savannah, Bugs Bunny kid, and a bunch of other kids you could possibly stand. Bugs Bunny has two lines in the film.
Starting point is 01:13:27 I think he's name is screwy possibly. Screw-lose. That sounds right, yeah. There's a doll of Bugs Bunny that this kid is playing with, and, you know, he pulls the cord, and it says a line. I forget. What's up, Doc, I think. What's up, Doc, and then there's another one's like, ah, take me with you. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Take me with you. Which is a weird thing for a Bugs Bunny doll. to say, I feel like that's made up for this motion picture. Probably. Take me where? What the fuck are you talking about, Bugs Bunny? You know, you're marketing to children. You're like, take me with you.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Hold me forever on your mind. Buy more, you know? Oh, yeah, I guess that's true. Don't leave home without it. Yeah. Screwy is not the one who gets drowned by sand, correct? No, no. It's just a random other kid.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Well, it's a weird thing. Do you check out this cast list on IMDB? You look at all these kids? No, I do not check out the kids and whatnot, and then it just says like himself, herself. Oh, that's weird. You're just playing rat children? Oh, I'm joking. No, but they're all
Starting point is 01:14:16 total Australian nobodies Of course Because watching this movie I've never been to Australia I just assume this is how it is And I'm like They're just This is like a docu part of this
Starting point is 01:14:25 The woman I should say The woman who plays Savannah Was like an accomplished dancer And like theater actress In Australia Otherwise that's the most lines Otherwise it is a fucking cart full of nobody's Don't worry about it
Starting point is 01:14:36 We cast people only from the wasteland To play the Wasteland Kids That's all we did it We made sure to do it Yeah, this is a device documentary. We embedded with the wasteland kids of Beyond Thunderdome. But Max is furious because no one's taking him serious. He grabs this kid's gun that he doesn't even know he has, loads it,
Starting point is 01:14:54 and starts, like, shooting at these kids pretty much, like, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to hit any, but if I do, you know, there's no Thunderdome, dude. You know, there's no consequences. It's true. Do you accidentally knock off one of these kids, whatever? He's got this great line of something like, like I'm not Captain Walker. I'm the guy who keeps Mr. Dead in his pocket. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Pretty bad ass. I don't fuck around. And basically, we're all going to say here, be grateful. He goes to sleep and whoops, these kids, half of the kids fuck off, and Max isn't having it. So he has to, he reluctantly goes to save them. I think at first he doesn't want to do it, though, because he's just like, I don't know, man. I think it's a thing where, like, a bunch of these other kids are like, yeah, we'll go do it. So he's like, nah, then you'll all be fucking dead.
Starting point is 01:15:35 And, like, so he goes out to try to save them or whatever. Give me all the water, you know, so they dump all these supplies, right? so that he could walk out there. Some join him, and this sets forth our... He's got two guys with them, yeah, yeah. Our adventure. Yeah, the adventure. And we run into this intrepid group of idiot kids
Starting point is 01:15:52 literally in a sandstorm about to die in a quicksand accident. And that's what happens when you fuck around, dude. I'm sorry. I mean, like, they don't even seem to have a leader. Like, they have the lady who's the main... I think that's the closest you get to the leader. It's her, and then there's the other, like,
Starting point is 01:16:09 teenage kid, like the boy. And he's the one who's like, fuck that. Like, I'm not going anywhere. Someone's got to stay here and make sure everything's okay. Someone's going to stay here and make sure the waterfall doesn't go anywhere. Yeah, we're installing a water slide tomorrow. I've got to oversee that. You guys...
Starting point is 01:16:27 I am the CFO of fun around here. The grass could really go to pot really easily if I leave, any moment now. But yeah, you enjoy that death trip, though. Yeah, yeah, no, do it. How would you even know? I mean, like, there's a lot of different directions to find barter town. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like you just wouldn't find Bartlett's how you just die.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Well, that's with all of these movies. It's like you're just going to go like one way or the other. Yeah. Maybe you'll hit shit. Maybe you won't. Like, what I'd like about these movies is like one through four and so you get to like Fury Road in 2015, they do like accelerate like the total decay of society. So it's like eventually there's just no like when you get to this movie, there's no more roads. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:05 You know what I mean? So in like in Fury Road, like there's no like road roads in this way. It's just dirt that you're driving on. like society keeps crumbling further and further. And this movie's trying to be a little hopeful with like, we're rebuilding society, I guess. Bartertown is something at least. And these children are like,
Starting point is 01:17:20 they're the future folks, whether you like it or not. I can't stand it. No, I can't do with it. And I'm very happy when this child gets killed. He really gets sucked into the sand, man. A couple people here just hated your guts with you. I'm sorry, it just happens.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Look, I need something a little bit more like, but it's true. I need something a little bit more grisly. What are you want? Do you, Drowning in quicksand? My God, come on. All that happens is that they're on a jacket. They're all connected with the jacket and they're being pulled up.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Yeah, yeah. And like, you just pull it up and it's just an empty jacket. There's not blood on the jacket. Why would there be blood? It's quicksand. What are you talking about? Maybe he got crushed by the quicksand. Yes, maybe.
Starting point is 01:18:01 Pop like a grape. Maybe. Well, what would make Chris happy, ladies and gentlemen is that they pulled up the jacket and a tiny little skeleton was totally. Oh, it was acid. That would be cool. That would be, or, like, just, like, sort of waterboard one of these kids with sand. Just keep pouring it in his mouth.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Just so you could seem, like, really choking on it as he goes down. Yeah, yeah, get a camera down there with them. That would be great, like, a cross-section? Who's directed this movie, John Landis? Christ. Yes, I believe so. Yeah. That would be a good one.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Oh, man, I think he was helping scout locations. We started this conversation with a helicopter crash. That is indeed what we did. So this kid's dead. and Max winds up saving the teenage girl. What's her name? Savannah. Savannah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:47 And he's like, say, I fucking told you, you stupid little kids. He kind of like gives it to him a little bit there. You know, not as much as you probably should. Like, get back to... Now which one am I marrying? And I guess the idea is they don't have enough water to get back, so the only way out is to get through Bordertown.
Starting point is 01:19:02 And this is when there's a long extended sequence when, like, everybody's... We run back with masks. and we say basically Mel Gibson's like you know what that guy is very smart and he can make my little Koresh compound really saying yeah this guy's going to do the books you think exactly some good work ethic I mean he can get a schedule going like that's what's what seems like he's good for also like these are these young kids you can raise him for anything you know you get one to push a boulder around for a while get strong become like a blaster
Starting point is 01:19:34 someone to kick dirt around you're going to need somebody like that oh we need a dirt taker definitely a lot of dirtie to kick. Yes. And I mean like this is when the movie becomes toothless because he runs into the gang and he doesn't, he keeps fighting them but nobody dies. It's a lot of like, you know. And I don't know if this was like notes from Warner Brothers or what the deal was here. But it's like, like, another thing I love about the first two movies and Fury Road, insane deaths of these like bad guys left and right. And this is like this ongoing gag of like Iron Bar who's kind of like the main dude or iron arm or whatever's name is Iron Bar. I think it is. I think it's. I think it's Iron Bar. I think it's Iron Bar. I think it's Iron Bar. I think it's Iron Bar. You know, he's constantly, like, in all of these wrecks that in any other Mad Max movie, we totally fucking ice that character. But this, he's, like, getting up, like, br-oh, damn you, Mad Max! He gets, like, hit by a train, and he's
Starting point is 01:20:19 covered in soot, and it's, like, is that why the headbugs bunny? Yes, I think 100% that's what it is. That's the wacky racers portion of the film, which is kind of the next movie, is that they steal Master, and he's very happy to be stolen, and they steal this train with pig, I almost called him Pigfucker,
Starting point is 01:20:37 pig killer. I thought you were going to say pig vomit. you think fucking pig vomit this goddamn wasteland Baldiomani Would it be a bigger crime To kill a pig or fuck a pig in this world?
Starting point is 01:20:51 Oh kill it for a hundred percent Yeah yeah So you think maybe there are a pig fuckers Sure Of course they're far In this universe It's two things that they don't address in this movie Cannibalism and definitely BCAI
Starting point is 01:21:01 Yeah for sure it's a really good point Do you see the desperation in that town Australian outback ladies in general Let me ask zoo expert Chris Cabin is, do you think the brothels in Bartertown are just livestock? Not all lives. But they have a specialty.
Starting point is 01:21:16 No, you want the brothel around the corner. Sometimes you know how the deli will also have the butcher next to it? I think it's that situation right there. So you could like fuck a koala. Oh, come on, no. Why wouldn't you wish? Why wouldn't you?
Starting point is 01:21:29 No, you just have to survive. I don't know. They seem to be mostly dead, right? If you're crossing that bridge anyway. Dude, I would say a koala would have a lot to say about that situation, and you wouldn't want to know about it. That is another note that you should keep in mind. Wait, what? It's a koala. It's a bear, my friend.
Starting point is 01:21:46 It's a small bear, but it is a bear. Well, you know, you shave it, you declaw it, you shave it, you oil it up. You're doing so much for this. We are moving on as a podcast. Definitely not doing it at Thunderdog. I'm just giving the people what they want to hear. So there's this big train thing that they get into and Master, I don't know where he gets this awesome outfit. It's like you go. go to Disney and you're doing that
Starting point is 01:22:11 old West thing and like they give you those like shitty old costumes to wear. Because you're going to get you like your picture taken in a booth or something so you want to look like period appropriate. This dude out of nowhere like he's riding an old time he train and he's got this three piece suit. It's crazy. He's a stage coach like I don't understand it.
Starting point is 01:22:27 He gets glasses to it. I mean like you know Master doesn't exactly it's not a one size fits all situation like who made this awesome outfit? I'm not Master no I'm legitimate businessman Greg I'm a mister That's right
Starting point is 01:22:41 My name is mister All crimes master did happen in Thunderdome Mr. live on train Mr. not get prosecuted You know it's interesting both this movie And the third back to the future We're fucking around with trains After we've been fucking around with cars for two movies
Starting point is 01:22:56 And both are detrimental I think to the narrative Totally The influence of runaway train I suppose The fucking John John Void DiR Roberts Great movie
Starting point is 01:23:07 Is that right? Yeah, yeah, fantastic movie. And I mean, like, it's whatever, I mean, that's the problem is, it's very underwhelming the last couple of minutes here. But this is where, like, this is where I have to stand up for this movie because at minute 81, it actually becomes a Mad Max movie because there's a fucking car chase. That's true.
Starting point is 01:23:22 And 86 minutes into this movie is the first time he gets behind the wheel of an automobile, which is if I'm in 1985 paying tickets for a Mad Max movie, guess what? That's the first thing I want to see. 86 minutes, this movie. I mean, I still have to commend it a little on trying to be. build something more than that but once we get to it
Starting point is 01:23:41 I do feel it's lackluster so we get to the we get back to the underworld I guess we do get mister now yeah yeah and pig killer officially joins the squad yeah so we got a little gang going by by helping them escape and they escape essentially
Starting point is 01:23:57 and pig killer gets hurt in the leg and they run back with a gyro captain or Jebediah Jebidaia to fake gyro captain to escape and Max does the really cool thing where he sacrifices himself. Though, I don't know. I don't think Pig Killer's going to last for another five minutes.
Starting point is 01:24:15 Oh, really? You think that was a fatal leg wound for Pink Killer? You see like the, I don't even know what you call it. I guess it's an arrowhead or whatever that's sticking out the other side of his leg. It's humongous. He's not making it too. If someone's sacrificing themselves, it should be pig killer. I agree.
Starting point is 01:24:31 Absolutely. But no, Max sacrifices himself and everybody else gets away. And there's this, I like the ending. the cool, like, the telling of the tale of Max kind of a thing. Yeah, so, like, basically, like, Savannah takes all of the kids and they make their way to what is, like, burned out Sydney, Australia. Yeah. And they, it's sort of, like, what was happening with Bartertown
Starting point is 01:24:51 is the rebuilding civilization by, like, going back and, like, living in the skyscrapers. It's actually a really great match shot where, like, you see the skyscrapers and there's, like, lights here and there, and the burned-out windows and everything. Really not bad. Continuing the idea of, like, storytelling, keeping the myth going. So we don't forget. where we came from, you know, because now society's dead and we have no internet or
Starting point is 01:25:11 movies or whatever. And that's like where it ends for many, many years, what, 20 years? 30 years until fucking Fury Road comes out and really shows this movie where to go. Absolutely. I do want to mention, eventually Iron Bar finally does die, right? He gets hit by the train a second time and finally does. Yeah. But
Starting point is 01:25:29 does he though? Isn't he, he's given the finger? Yeah, but he's dead. I think that's the last record. They don't show him like grinning like they usually do. Don't you remember where they put him in the dip? And then he turns into liquid. All right, real quick. We've got to start wrapping it up here.
Starting point is 01:25:44 So big thanks to Frequency for having us. This was so much fun. Thank you, Chris, and the whole team. This was really, really great. Really quick, we'll go down the line. Eric, we'll start with you. Would you recommend this movie and or final thoughts on Thunderdome?
Starting point is 01:25:54 Yeah, it would be a light recommend. Like I said before, Thunderdome is just a brilliant concept, especially for this world. And I wish they explored other things than children. I know this guy likes that, but... It's a light, recommend for me because
Starting point is 01:26:09 it's still a Mad Max movie, so how can I not? It's a hard recommend. There's not a lot of Mel Gibson, which is what I like. There is some exciting stuff here. The Thunderdome stuff is cool. I think the cool, the kid's stuff is a cool message. Overall, really high recommend for me. Oh, come on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I heard some pig shit. Was that from the film?
Starting point is 01:26:30 That was from the film. I got a clip. Is that the impression from the film? I got a specific clip that I put it in my mouth and I just played it right there. No, I hated this movie. Yeah, no, fuck it. Watch Fury Road. We are We Hate Movies from right here in New York City. Thanks so much for tuning in. Stick around. Pompom Pomp Squad is up next, everybody.
Starting point is 01:26:46 Thanks so much. Bye-bye. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. That was a hit-gum podcast.
