Episode 221 - Mad Max (1979)

(Deep Dive begins at 42:30)

Get your black leathers on, shirts are apparently optional, and let's head out looking for trouble. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian and Liam (Georgia, Megs, and Ethan are chasing down rogue drivers) as we're heading to Australia in the not too distant future in the Mel Gibson film, Mad Max.  We are the nightrider in our 221st episode as we discuss:

• Whether a simple story is necessarily a bad story
• We talk about big life events this week
• Liam talks an awful lot about films we're not reviewing this week
• We discuss the Guinness Record this film had for an awfully long time
• Liam shares an origin story for Mel Gibson's career that, if true, is amazing
• What is it with the religious imagery for all of 10 minutes in this film?
• Whether or not Mad Max (1979) is the Best Film Ever
