Welcome one and all to our soon you will be able to our soon you will be hearing anyway,
live show on Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
recorded live at the frequency festival
that happened just this past June
as a matter of fact.
Super fun, we did that live in person
unfortunately nobody was allowed to be there
people will be allowed to go to other things
later on in the fall
which is going to be super exciting
but this was super fun
huge thanks to our buddy Chris Wade
for putting that together
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
my goodness
gracious
it is rad
to be in a
performance space
at home
giving up for
95 bowls
everybody
that was fucking awesome
holy Toledo
I guess
I guess we'll start
off
yeah I'm not on
cocaine
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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...
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
