Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
Walk away ActionBabyz... Walk away... and watch MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR. Is this the best fuel-centric movie ever? Does the dog live? How is The Humongous getting enough protein? Does Vernon Wells really know the backstory of his character Wez? All of these incredibly important questions will be addressed on this weeks episode. Also there will be Australian accents and discussions of Mel Gibson's racism. Do you guys remember lingerie?

I know it's a little late but thought I'd chime in on the boomerang stuff. Yeah, they work. Great ep, btw.
Hell yeah
Mickey Rourke is the third Putin bitch.
Life begins at load, best cold open, hands down.. my pants
I was the DP/Steadicam operator on a short film starring Vernon Wells a few years ago. Fun stories about this and Commando. https://youtu.be/ViG378k1v90
I'd be the happiest man in the world if the Actionboyz started covering the best Kurosawa action films. Seven Samurai forever.
So, does Stanger have to apologise to Amy Ruffle again?
i'll talk to these action boyz. they seem like reasonable men.
you guys need an educated car correspondent
Car-espondent was right there, James.
Stanger's Barefoot Contessa impression is insanely good. Trust me.
The best ripoff of this movie is Warrior of the Lost World, an Italian movie with Donald Pleasance, Fred Williamson, and Persis Khambatta. Total shitshow but it has a talking motorcycle.
MEGAWEAPON!
"I've never even heard of these movies" should be a t-shirt
That cold open and the metro are not good bedfellows 🙈
Oh fuck. My dad owned a video rental store and my name is Max. You better believe I love/hate this series because of unending jokes from family.
Would love to hear from anyone that saw the boy(z) in person and got ripped on air for speaking to them
I would throw myself into the ocean
Three Musketeers are good!

Talking about the ripoffs of this movie, CWA, a pretty big pro wrestling company based on Memphis, introduced a character in 1984 called Lord Humongous that looked exactly like the movie. The character was later portrayed by the legendary Psycho Sid Vicious.
I think the NWA’s Road Warriors, later known as Legion of Doom, might’ve seen this movie once or twice too.
Locker room Paul McCartney is slowly becoming my favorite podcast character.
I’d rather Paul show up every ep Instead of stanger bot
Wait, how did I miss the story of Gabrus and his brothers tricking his mom into thinking his dad molested them? I’ve heard every episode and every shadow wolves and I’ve never heard this story.
This was new to me too. Anyone want to help us out and point us towards the episode where it's mentioned? And if he hasn't told it on the show before, well I've got my November Shadow Wolves question.
Ron Jeremy was an extra in Ghostbusters AND Cobra, apparently.
I loved the whipmaster sketch. "IF YOU'RE THE WHIPMASTER, WHIP THIS CIGAR OUT OF MY MOUTH!"
There’s a badass boomerang scene in a pretty great Aussie film Sweet Country. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sYKBG1znk4A
Stangerbot forgetting Halloween is legitimately funny to me.
Cool remake of waterworld, but they got rid of the best parts of the world.
I don’t like American reality tv but from what Netflix and Hulu have to offer the Australians do reality tv right.
Watched this movie with my wife. She had never seen Mad Max before and could not get over why the baddies would dress like that in a desert environment. Baddies do not care about sun damage.
I’ll be that guy: it’s a different Brian May
The first thing that the Sauna says is ‘Shouldn’t be confused with Australian composer Brian May’ but I think it’s totally understandable; Queen and Brian May have done a bunch of soundtrack work (Flash Gordon, Highlander etc)
Shit, I like Stanger-Bot and Milky Ways; Rodgers has got my number
