1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,020 Hello, hello, hello, geeks. 2 00:00:02,020 --> 00:00:06,300 Welcome to another episode of Smack My Pitch Up, the podcast that reboots, remakes, reimagines, 3 00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,500 sequels, cycles, and adapts some of your favorite and least favorite properties from film, television, 4 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:11,820 and what have you. 5 00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:15,160 And we've got a banger here on this episode for sure. 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,940 And with me to discuss the remakes and reimaginings, my co-host, Tondi. 7 00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:21,940 G'day, Schlinger. 8 00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:26,660 I thought about doing like an accent, I think for the betterment of everyone involved. 9 00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:29,700 I'm not gonna try to do that. 10 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,240 I've never been able to nail either the British or the Australian accent because they bleed 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,240 into each other. 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,720 Yeah, you know what's fun about doing an accent? 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,260 For me specifically, I'll lose it. 14 00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:41,360 I'll lose it almost immediately and it will turn into whatever. 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,640 It'll turn into like something racist by the end of whatever impression I'm doing. 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,840 It could be the whitest accent. 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,340 I can do like a Russian accent very poorly where you're almost offended. 18 00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:57,160 I don't have a Russian background, but like I'm white enough where it's like, no, he can. 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,440 He's allowed to do Russian accent. 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Now it's almost offensive. 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,440 So you don't want to get smacked by Putin. 22 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,820 Nobody wants to get smacked by Putin. 23 00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:04,820 So best not to. 24 00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:06,200 I'm clobbered by his giant horse. 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,200 Yeah. 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,800 Let's avoid that if possible. 27 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,080 I eat you with my pick. 28 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,640 So today we are talking about a cult classic for sure. 29 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,640 Oh definitely. 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,360 A movie that has spawned multiple sequels as well as a remake that's not really a remake 31 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,600 so much as a re-engagement, a re-envisioning of... 32 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,600 Yeah. 33 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,400 It's like old Mad Max is what do they call the Star Wars stuff that was made before the 34 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,400 reboot? 35 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,680 The Star Wars legends or whatever? 36 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,160 Or the novels and stuff? 37 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,160 Yeah. 38 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,260 Old Mad Max is Mad Max Legends and this is like, you know, the new kids. 39 00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,920 Even though it's the same character, it's not at all. 40 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,360 What we are talking about is Mad Max, the first Mad Max movie and the universe in general, 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,360 I guess. 42 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,620 But the thing that's interesting about that though is starting with Fury Road, if they 43 00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:58,640 are going with Tom Hardy as Max from now on, if they're restarting this universe, it is 44 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,120 interesting where they're starting as far as the distance away from Doomsday. 45 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:10,200 Like, every Mad Max movie gets a little bit further away from the fall of society. 46 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,200 Yeah. 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Oh, Fury Road is like hundreds of years after, like Max is a Thailander or something by the 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,960 time of Fury Road. 49 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:25,920 From the original director, he said that Max is really more there to be our way into a 50 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,840 slice of life of that world at that time. 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,560 You know, that Max does assist with stuff happening, but for the most part, we're just 52 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,200 following him around on his adventures to see where the world is at this point in the 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,640 decay. 54 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,880 And it was interesting to revisit Mad Max after it's been years. 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,480 I haven't seen it since Fury Road came out, I think. 56 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,560 I'd only ever seen it on TV after watching this, I realized I'd only ever seen it as 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,260 a TV edit. 58 00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:54,600 And it's a whole different experience. 59 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,760 This is some good schlock. 60 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,400 I was actually surprised. 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,400 It's really good schlock. 62 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,920 It holds up well and you try to explain what happens and there's three important things 63 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,180 that happen and that's it in like 90 minutes, but it's engaging the whole time. 64 00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:11,300 There's never a point where I felt bored watching this movie. 65 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:12,480 It's interesting. 66 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,400 It's not too long, although I did feel like it dragged a little bit somewhere in the middle. 67 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,400 It's not too long. 68 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,440 It has some really intriguing aesthetic choices. 69 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000 The score is late 50s, early 60s style. 70 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320 The orchestration, which is interesting. 71 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,160 There's some interesting camera stuff going on. 72 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,160 It's very surprising. 73 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,800 This is George Miller's first major movie. 74 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,920 And I feel like the acting is not top notch, but it does feel natural enough that it's 75 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,600 even the bad actors are not that cringy. 76 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,520 It doesn't come off poorly. 77 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,040 I like some like Goose. 78 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,120 I thought Goose was kind of cool. 79 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Max is actually a little bit too young. 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,400 That was my complaint. 81 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Mel Gibson is a little bit young for the Kirkland. 82 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,360 I was mindful and made sure that I didn't go too old with Max with my casting, but I 83 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,360 did. 84 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,360 Yeah. 85 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600 He is so much younger than everybody else really in the film. 86 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,200 He looks like a baby. 87 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,520 And maybe it's just because we know Mel Gibson to be this like old racist dude. 88 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,920 And this is like young racist dude, but this is even before Big Hair. 89 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,040 The incredible wings Mel Gibson. 90 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,680 This is a whole different actors in their like early 20s. 91 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,040 And I just, I couldn't, I just, the concept of them driving a car. 92 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,360 I'm like, you're not old enough to drive a car. 93 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,360 You got the cutest little baby face. 94 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,680 But that is something that I really like about Mad Max is that there is a portrayal of a 95 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,080 revenge film, very Western. 96 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,680 It's completely, if you take all the beats of this movie and remove the cars and put 97 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,600 in horses, it's, and it's not the apocalypse. 98 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,760 It's just the old West. 99 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,400 This is a Western movie, but it doesn't try to overdo the chase scenes. 100 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,400 The chase scenes are pretty straight up. 101 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Like they're on straightaways. 102 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440 They're not doing all these crazy twists and turns and shit. 103 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,760 And Max isn't this big buff fucker. 104 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,400 He's this normal sized person that he fights a little, but mostly it's just him running 105 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,080 people over with his car. 106 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,440 That's the majority of his skill set is just killing people with his beautiful baby face. 107 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,400 So what I liked about that is I didn't need to cast some like action hero type necessarily 108 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,400 for the role of Max. 109 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,920 This was pre that type anyway. 110 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,480 They were on the, just the cusp of having leads take over in that fashion, but this 111 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,960 is what it's like 79. 112 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,840 Yeah, I believe in late seventies. 113 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:23,840 Yeah. 114 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,480 So this is right before they start putting Adonis Godman as the other action leads. 115 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,480 What a weird time. 116 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,480 Yeah. 117 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,920 It was the eighties pretty much all the way through until right at the end of the eighties 118 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,880 when you had the like Bruce Willis's and the Joe Everyman that came in and picked that 119 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,880 back up again. 120 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,640 But there's this like 10 year block that was just big old machismo men that ruled the world. 121 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,640 Yep. 122 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,320 And then after that it was, it was, they're all Brad Pitt types, wiry, muscly, wiry dudes 123 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,320 that I still represent. 124 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Of course. 125 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Oh man. 126 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,800 There was a weird time in my high school years that scrawny hairless men was the in vogue 127 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,840 look and that's literally the opposite of me. 128 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,600 If you were to, damn you Moby. 129 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,600 Right? 130 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,280 All the lanky fucking scrawny dudes that everybody was losing their shit over. 131 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,320 I had no armpit hair, nothing. 132 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,720 Here I am looking like a fucking lumberjack, a short little wide lumberjack. 133 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,720 No. 134 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,720 Yes. 135 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,960 And both you and the scrawny lanky dude are both looking at Mel Gibson going, yeah, pretty 136 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,200 much now how the tides have turned that bearded men is it now in vogue and yay, we rule the 137 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,680 day until we know we go to bed at a very reasonable hour. 138 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Okay. 139 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,080 So Mad Max, there's a lot of room to work here. 140 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,760 I'm interested to see if either of us decided to stick to the timeline of the post-apocalypse 141 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:49,000 or the dystopian world of the original Mad Max or took it a little bit further into the 142 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000 post-apocalypse. 143 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Also, is this an apocalypse movie? 144 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,760 Is this done differently? 145 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,760 I'm really interested. 146 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,720 You having the wild one always excites me because you will go out there. 147 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,920 This might be in space. 148 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,920 I don't know. 149 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,920 So I'm 150 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,400 No, the take this time is going to be something where you're like, what are you doing? 151 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Nice. 152 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,640 You know, last time you're like, wow, that is really cool. 153 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,320 That is fun. 154 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,320 This one's going to be like, why? 155 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,320 Why do that? 156 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,320 Great. 157 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Mine, I feel is a pretty straight ahead version here that I think you're going to understand 158 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,620 why I made the choices that I did. 159 00:07:23,620 --> 00:07:27,320 This is the straight up remake, reimagining, what have you. 160 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,520 I decided that the real difference here is that I didn't want to try to capture that 161 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,640 like Aussie dystopian vibe. 162 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,360 I wanted to look at what Mad Max would be if it was an American director directing American 163 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,360 actors with an American aesthetic, but not necessarily the fast and the furious kind 164 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,800 of aesthetic. 165 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,680 Definitely balls to the wall a little bit. 166 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,880 That's definitely America, but more that action kind of comedy, the diehards of it, the fun 167 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:03,240 action vibe a little bit with just a touch of demented to let it go down smoother. 168 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,080 And I decided that Brian Taylor would be my director for that kind of journey. 169 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,480 If you're unfamiliar, he is one of the directors of Crank 1 and 2. 170 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,440 He directed Gamer, Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance. 171 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,760 More recently, he did the movie Mom and Dad with Nicolas Cage, which is an absolute fucking 172 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,240 blast if you haven't seen it. 173 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,240 I have not even heard of it. 174 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,840 It's like an infection movie where all the parents are infected and get like homicidal 175 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920 and want to murder their own children. 176 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,920 That's what the virus does. 177 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Oh, so just like. 178 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,920 Yeah, basically. 179 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,440 All these parents being like, come here, honey, stab stab. 180 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,200 And there was a series on sci fi that helps create and also directed called Happy that 181 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,320 was a tour de force of demented weird fantasy. 182 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:51,680 The main character, Chris Maloney, he has an imaginary friend that's like a flying unicorn 183 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,280 that's voiced by Patton Oswalt. 184 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:59,840 It's a weird show, but definitely steeped in gross, weird, demented comedy. 185 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,920 And so that's energy that I wanted to bring to this is just a little over the top, a little 186 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,560 bonkers, but still that intensity you want from an action film. 187 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,240 And so I, for Max, that was a tough choice for me. 188 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,080 I wanted to do a not action hero kind of person, but somebody that could get unhinged if they 189 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,240 really got to that point. 190 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,320 They would break bad when it got to that. 191 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:29,080 And from his portrayal in Mayhem, this horror movie, I thought Steven Yeun would be an interesting 192 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,360 choice for Max. 193 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,360 Oh, nice. 194 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,080 I almost cast him in a different role. 195 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,080 Yeah. 196 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,680 Steven Yeun deserves a breakout role in like a young person's breakout role like that. 197 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:44,160 I know he's going for serious stuff, but he's definitely proven himself to be a tremendous 198 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,160 actor. 199 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:50,680 But I've also been playing this dude that gets basically infected and becomes like a 200 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:54,560 raw nerve of aggression and mayhem. 201 00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:58,960 It's a very fun ride that he takes you on and he gets to play it super big and you can 202 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,360 tell he's having a fun time with it. 203 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,360 And so I want to be able to have that spectrum from the actor playing Max is somebody that 204 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,120 can go subtle and quiet because Mel Gibson is quiet in the first man Max. 205 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,400 He doesn't say a lot at all. 206 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,720 So I want that to just go up to 11 when he's on his revenge that he's just freaking out 207 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,240 and going bonkers. 208 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,360 So Steven Yeun, I think it would be fun in that role for Jesse, his partner, his wife, 209 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,640 the mother of his child. 210 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,360 I wanted an actress that could play like she's got her own shit together. 211 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,640 She's not like the damsel in distress type, but is also very funny and can play at the 212 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,400 big action sequences and be the comic relief of the moment. 213 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,920 And some of the most like darkest moments of this movie. 214 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,480 And I just saw recently in a really bad movie called Shotgun Wedding. 215 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,480 Movie's fucking awful. 216 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,720 It's the Jennifer Lopez vehicle that came out on Prime and it's stupid. 217 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,720 I hate it. 218 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Yes. 219 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,720 Sandra started watching that the other day and I don't. 220 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,520 Yeah, it's really bad, but Darcy Carden is in it and I love her. 221 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,320 She was in The Good Place as Janet. 222 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,360 She plays Natalie in Barry and she was also in Shotgun Wedding, but she's a comedic actress. 223 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,380 She's been around and she's been in tons of stuff. 224 00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:09,380 Very funny. 225 00:11:09,380 --> 00:11:12,520 There's something about her that so just like hits me the right way. 226 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,600 Very funny actress and has the I'm one step ahead of you kind of energy with her humor 227 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,040 as well. 228 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,080 She knows what you're going to say and she's got five quips ready to go already. 229 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,640 So I thought they would be a fun matchup. 230 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,640 Jim Goose. 231 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,640 Keep the energy. 232 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Goose. 233 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,000 I wanted something that would be like the kind of wide open wants to be a ladies man, 234 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,880 just fun, weird, sidekicky character and a little older as well. 235 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,960 Christopher Maloney. 236 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,480 He's already worked with the director. 237 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,360 I think he would have a lot of fun just being like the zany sidekick or not sidekick, but 238 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,360 co-worker. 239 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,360 Oh, definitely. 240 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,960 And Maloney is awesome. 241 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,960 Maloney is a fucking trip. 242 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,960 He is such a trip. 243 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,640 I had cast him as Fifi, their boss basically, because I thought Maloney would have a lot 244 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,840 of fun just walking around shirtless, smoking a cigar and yelling at people and he would. 245 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,520 But I think his energies would be better spent as Jim Goose for Fifi. 246 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,240 I decided that role. 247 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,100 I wanted somebody built like the big look like a Russian weightlifter that lift the 248 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,040 triangular weights only their boss Fifi. 249 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,840 So I needed a buff guy that was going to be able to have fun in this role as this really 250 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,480 happy, big energy person. 251 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,840 So Terry Crews immediately jumped out as a good choice there. 252 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,960 Of course. 253 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,520 Just really friendly, nice boss that people actually like, but also don't fuck with him. 254 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,040 Terry Crews works perfectly for that. 255 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Yeah, Terry Crews is great as the big guy. 256 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,920 His whole career is pretty much playing that role for the most part. 257 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,040 Except for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, he doesn't play the big guy, quote unquote, necessarily 258 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,040 in that role. 259 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,120 He plays the sweet, cool headed guy who loves his family. 260 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,120 I feel like Terry Crews would be a great person to spend time with, not even get a drink with, 261 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,360 but like just your friend from years ago that you go to like the park with your kids together 262 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,360 kind of energy. 263 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,360 He is a sweetheart. 264 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,120 Yeah, who keeps trying to get you to go to the gym with him and you're like, oh yeah, 265 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,120 I'll see you there. 266 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,120 100%. 267 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,640 Oh, your CrossFit friend. 268 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,640 That's Terry Crews. 269 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,640 Oh no. 270 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:19,840 For these are bad guys now that we're going with and I wanted to cast kind of quiet and 271 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,480 intensity for Bubba Zanetti. 272 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,560 And so I went with Tommy Flanagan, if you're unfamiliar, he's the Irish actor with a giant 273 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,280 gash scar in his face that was in Sons of Anarchy. 274 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,640 He was in Sin City. 275 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,880 He's been in Braveheart and Gladiator. 276 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,880 Yeah. 277 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,880 I believe I know who you're talking about. 278 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,960 Very well known as always the grizzled tough guy. 279 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,420 And Toecutter, the unhinged boss of the biker gang. 280 00:13:43,420 --> 00:13:45,840 We got to get Nicolas Cage in there at some point. 281 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,880 He's had a couple movies with Brian Taylor. 282 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,720 He had Ghost Rider and also Mom and Dad. 283 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800 So they know how to work together. 284 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,400 Nicolas Cage could definitely have room to do whatever Nicolas Cage wants with this role. 285 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,600 I'm kind of surprised that Nick Cage didn't come to mind for me for what I'm doing. 286 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,040 That's, yeah, because he is a great choice for that. 287 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,020 I think just giving him moments to do whatever would really make this movie. 288 00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:16,680 And then finally, Johnny the Boy, the drugged out fucking weirdo guy that gets in trouble 289 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,080 and gets arrested and then gets released is the little brother character to the biker 290 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,280 gang that always fucks up and they're always really annoyed with him. 291 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720 Pete Davidson for Johnny the Boy. 292 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,720 Oh, yeah. 293 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,720 That's perfect. 294 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,120 But with this casting and Brian Taylor and this demented action comedy kind of vibe, 295 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:38,280 the world that I'm setting up in the States is that basically resources are dwindled dramatically. 296 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,100 And the coasts are really where most everybody lives because you can get to stuff easier 297 00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:46,280 that way through the ocean and railway systems and stuff. 298 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,640 The middle of America is basically ghosted. 299 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,500 A lot of the crops have died at this point. 300 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:56,600 Resources are dwindling dramatically because of global warming or whatever. 301 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:03,600 Not necessary to explain, but there's just barren wastes of just flat, dusty dust bowl. 302 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,360 And so really the only people that exist in this area have cars, have souped up rods and 303 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:13,960 cars that have extra gas tanks attached to them randomly and basically Mad Max vehicles 304 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,440 that they have to build out to make these long hauls in between small towns that are 305 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,320 still existing in the Midwest. 306 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,840 And because that also there's not enough police force to cover these great expanses. 307 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,800 And so there's the highway patrol basically that has these cars that they can get from 308 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,960 town to town on less gas but still gun it. 309 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,680 They have a little bit better technology, but they can only get around so much. 310 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,960 So they're constantly on the tail of all these highway gangs. 311 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,520 They are constantly trying to make sure all the small towns are okay. 312 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,540 But the small towns, they have their sheriffs and their people in charge, but they can only 313 00:15:48,540 --> 00:15:52,220 do so much when a gang of like 30 or 40 bikers comes into town. 314 00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:54,400 So they've been after this gang for a while. 315 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,300 They've been trying to prevent them from stealing the resources from the towns in their sector. 316 00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:06,160 And so that's how they come to know Max from him just being the best cop in their region 317 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,280 trying to protect these towns. 318 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,520 So Max is there basically out of his ability to drive really well, but also he gets better 319 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,120 resources by being friendly with all these towns that have resources and they thank him 320 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:24,880 by giving him water and gas and clothes and stuff for his car as a bribe basically, hey, 321 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,520 pay more attention to us than the other towns. 322 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:35,040 And so when the bikers start cutting into his cut by stealing resources from these towns 323 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:41,300 and him not getting there in time, then that's what's really pissing him off. 324 00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:45,120 That's what's really motivating him is like, hey, you're cutting into my stuff here. 325 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,360 So it's less about the world fully falling apart. 326 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:54,000 The cities are still industrialized and still working and functioning, though poorly, a 327 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,280 little bit dystopian. 328 00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,180 But the middle America looks like the post-apocalypse just because everybody's escaped pretty much. 329 00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:01,580 Everybody has gone to the coasts. 330 00:17:01,580 --> 00:17:04,580 There's nothing really left in middle America anymore for anybody. 331 00:17:04,580 --> 00:17:05,580 The crops have died. 332 00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:07,640 Like the resources have dwindled. 333 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,640 Yeah. 334 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,640 Yeah. 335 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,880 Taking it to America is probably a better move anyway. 336 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:22,040 Like maybe not explicitly so, but I feel like there's enough regional culture in the Mad 337 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,780 Max movies that doing something that you're a little bit more familiar with might be a 338 00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:27,780 better move. 339 00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:34,340 And it being said in Australia was because that's where George Miller lived. 340 00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:37,440 It doesn't have to be Australia necessarily. 341 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,480 There's nothing Australia centric about this story really. 342 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,280 So for all the, the Foster's billboards in the background, right? 343 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,760 Australian for post-apocalypse. 344 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,560 Yeah, that's my take. 345 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Middle America centered Mad Max movie with yuck yucks and action and explosions and craziness. 346 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,000 I'd watch it. 347 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,040 And it's, it's about time to bring back the aesthetic. 348 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,880 Like of course we had Fury Road as George Miller's modern vision of that, but a world 349 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,960 of post-apocalyptic leather daddies that populated that Mad Max era. 350 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,960 It's time to bring that back. 351 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,440 I'd love to see a lot of fun. 352 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,280 There's only so much further you can go in the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max after 353 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,600 Fury Road, because then it's just dust. 354 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,120 There's nothing, there's barely anything left in Fury Road. 355 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:30,600 Resetting it and bringing it back to where there's ghost towns. 356 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,920 They're driving through these ghost towns and there's small populations of people and 357 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,800 there's still some level of government working, giving resources to these highway patrolmen 358 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,800 basically. 359 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,560 And the best way I can explain it is it's when shit's done, there's no going back. 360 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,000 The society is collapsing as they speak. 361 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,320 Everybody knows it. 362 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,320 Everybody's aware of it. 363 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,600 Everybody knows they got maybe 10 years tops before even the police are gone that it's 364 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,760 that level, but nobody's willing to admit it. 365 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,520 It's like in 2008 when I worked at Blockbuster, everybody knew that Blockbuster was going 366 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,520 under. 367 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,080 Every couple of months, another store would go out of business, but we all just pretended 368 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,640 that somehow there'd be like a turn that we'd be fine at some point. 369 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,400 And we just went about our business until the store went under. 370 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,520 A red box is BS. 371 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,800 Nobody's going to use a red. 372 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:23,120 We just got to hang in there just a little bit longer until this fad blows over. 373 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,120 Yeah. 374 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:29,640 So that's this world of Mad Max is people out of not having other options, barely hanging 375 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,960 on, hoping that something changes. 376 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,960 Yeah. 377 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,160 Not knowing that the world is going to descend to the place where the only three assets left 378 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,480 are bullets, gasoline, and titty milk. 379 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:46,280 It sounds like a good weekend right there. 380 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,280 Maybe 10th of July. 381 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,280 Yeah. 382 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,280 Remix. 383 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Remixes. 384

400 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,720 So my take is basically based on me diving down a rabbit hole. 401 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,520 Mad Max influenced a bunch of like 1980s anime, like just Mel Gibson in general influenced 402 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,880 a bunch of 1980s anime. 403 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,520 But basically it influenced it so much that like anime style Mad Max has already been 404 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,680 done many times over. 405 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,760 So going down that rabbit hole is like we're doing a big budget movie for an American audience. 406 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,760 What's big budget American animation? 407 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,420 There's Disney and there's DreamWorks. 408 00:21:15,420 --> 00:21:19,720 So basically My Mad Max is an animated movie. 409 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,720 DreamWorks. 410 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,720 Okay. 411 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,920 Cars via DreamWorks. 412 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:32,360 And it's basically a bunch of chases that climax in the big race for it all or whatever. 413 00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:33,360 Kids movie. 414 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:34,360 I take that back. 415 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,160 All a family movie. 416 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,160 So everybody gets to be entertained. 417 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,320 So there's some winks to murdering a wife and child and stuff, but not like overtly 418 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,320 to. 419 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,880 It's yeah, there'll be violence, but it's like violence you never see, like people can 420 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,720 die in a cartoon movie. 421 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000 You just can't see the body hit the floor. 422 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,800 So My Mad Max, DreamWorks movie takes place in Arizona. 423 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:02,400 Max Rakitansky is the best pursuit cop on this stretch of highway in Arizona and he's 424 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,480 got a big head about it. 425 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,100 And it's about him finding his way to appreciate the love of friends and family and working 426 00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:10,100 as a team. 427 00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:13,880 So kid movie stuff, but for everybody. 428 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,240 So Max Rakitansky, Chris Pratt. 429 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,520 Why Chris Pratt? 430 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,760 Because Chris Pratt is the universal voice actor for everything right now. 431 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,360 So my Max Rakitansky is Chris Pratt. 432 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,640 He will not be doing a gruff anything. 433 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,600 He'll just be doing Chris Pratt like he does anyway, except when he's playing, when he 434 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,920 did that movie for Amazon. 435 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,920 The Tomorrow War. 436 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,920 Goose. 437 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,920 Yeah. 438 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,920 Ugh. 439 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,920 My Goose. 440 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,120 He's the one who needed a sidekick character. 441 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:47,200 Who's the best sidekick in the history of man and who's also like a really interesting 442 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,200 voice. 443 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,200 John C. Riley. 444 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,640 I knew you were going to say John C. Riley. 445 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,760 I knew it when you said sidekick. 446 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,760 Yeah. 447 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,760 Yeah. 448 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:01,520 He's the sidekick, John C. Riley in this take Goose still dies, but you don't see him burn 449 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,400 to the hell where Max is like, what the fuck is that? 450 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,400 Where Max does the ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. 451 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,400 Face as he pulls the sheet up. 452 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,400 Yeah. 453 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,240 Oh, so early days for his acting. 454 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,240 It's fine. 455 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,240 It's fine. 456 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,080 Jesse Rockitansky, the wife is still his wife in this movie, but she's also on the highway 457 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,080 patrol. 458 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,440 She's part of the action. 459 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,440 Their conflict comes into the fact that he wants to be a lone wolf and she wants to teach 460 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,440 him how to work better with the team. 461 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,680 Kristen Bell is Jesse Rockitansky. 462 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,680 Okay. 463 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,680 I see it. 464 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,160 Cause she could be sweet and convincing. 465 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,560 A little aggro wouldn't need to be. 466 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,560 Yeah. 467 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,560 Yeah. 468 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Sprog Rockitansky is no longer a child. 469 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:52,320 Sprog Rockitansky is a talking dog and the actual direct partner of Max Rockitansky doing 470 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:59,400 the ride alongs and pointing down the suspects and saying, Hey man, cause it's Kevin Hart 471 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,800 is Sprog Rockitansky. 472 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,800 Oh no. 473 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,400 Like I, I that's racist. 474 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,720 I don't know how it's racist, but it's racist. 475 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,960 I think there's no way to portray Kevin Hart playing that character without it coming off 476 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,520 kind of racist. 477 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,120 As Sprog Rockitansky. 478 00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:21,040 He can't be like Brian the dog for Max Rockitansky without being racist. 479 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,160 You know how they would play Kevin Hart in that role though. 480 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,160 That's the thing. 481 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,160 There's only one. 482 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,160 Yeah, but that's actually Kevin Hart. 483 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000 That's how Kevin Hart plays Kevin Hart. 484 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000 That's on him. 485 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Me too. 486 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000 That's what makes it great. 487 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,840 The toe trimmer. 488 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,840 So the bad guy. 489 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,840 The toe trimmer? 490 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,840 Yeah. 491 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,840 The toe trimmer. 492 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,000 That's brilliant, but god damn it. 493 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Is Kiefer Sutherland. 494 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Nice. 495 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,880 Cause he's got the ultimate like a hard ass bad guy voice. 496 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,360 The cold, wonderful for a kid's movie. 497 00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:51,360 Perfect villain in that situation. 498 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,800 If you haven't seen the movie Freeway, uh, Kiefer Sutherland, he plays like the big bad 499 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:01,400 wolf type character of like a serial killing like dude. 500 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,120 And he does this kind of like voice. 501 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:08,760 I can picture that being the perfect touch point for him to play this role. 502 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,760 Like that kind of growly. 503 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,760 Yeah. 504 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,160 Or his take on a solid snake. 505 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,160 Yes. 506 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,800 He replaced David Hayter on that game that people were like, Oh, it's not David Hayter. 507 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,120 Zenetti, his, his second in command is no longer a person. 508 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,680 That's a dog too, but that dog can talk. 509 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:32,540 And that talking dog is Patrick Warburton is Zenetti in this movie. 510 00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:38,560 So cronks do dystopia is he's the henchman. 511 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,560 He's the henchman. 512 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,920 Number one, henchman number two, Kundalini, the guy who loses his hand and yeah, that's 513 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,640 James Franco. 514 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:53,120 So James Franco is, is guy number three, the police captain or whatever of the station 515 00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:56,320 house, the boss is Brian Cox. 516 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,320 Always a good choice. 517 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,760 And they're all just, yeah, you're all just trying to rain max in goose dies. 518 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:08,280 Wife lives toe trimmer ends by not getting hit by a truck, but by driving off of a cliff 519 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,280 Disney style. 520 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,280 So he dies. 521 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,360 You don't see the death, but characters falling off a cliff is like animated kids movie tradition. 522 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:21,840 You've got to have that like, uh, that's how he does. 523 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Like just a sickening splat. 524 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,480 Yeah. 525 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:30,760 That is my version of, of mad max that's choices were made, but it does beg the question, like, 526 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:37,240 why aren't there more post-apocalyptic children's cartoons that really, I feel like cars kind 527 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,280 of could be perceived that way. 528 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,800 And then there's Wally and then that's it. 529 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,600 Like that's pretty much, you get something like, I don't know. 530 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,760 Well, I don't know about a post-apocalypse, but treasure planet or Aladdin where the heroes 531 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,000 just in dire straits. 532 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,160 Kind of a E I guess would be post-apocalyptic where at least for earth. 533 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,160 Yeah. 534 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,080 It's literally after earth is what it stands for. 535 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,080 Yeah. 536 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,080 I don't know. 537 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,080 I'd go see it. 538 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,960 It can't be too judgmental on something where like, yeah, day one I'd be there watching 539 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,560 it and being like, what the fuck. 540 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,120 I'd be curious enough to look up the reviews, but yeah, nice. 541 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:11,440 The audacity. 542 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,160 Why are you making this movie? 543 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,160 Cause of money. 544 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,160 Cause of money. 545 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,160 All right. 546 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,960 Do you think Brian Cox as well for your thing, I'm just thinking a mashup for Mad Max. 547 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,480 I would love to see super troopers three being in the post-apocalypse where they're still 548 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,080 working the highway patrol, but in a Mad Max type fashion would be fucking great. 549 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,560 Cause Brian Cox, he was the boss in super troopers. 550 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,320 So yeah, that would be brilliant. 551 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,920 So a couple of fun mashups, Mad Max and weird science, like in that scene where Kelly LeBrock 552 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240 brings like the, the road warrior style. 553 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,240 Yes. 554 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,000 And then at the end of the party at the end of the movie, she also brings Max and then 555 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,320 she ends up hooking up with Max instead of the nerds. 556 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,720 And Mad Max and water world where the, the mariner finally reaches dry land, but the 557 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,080 dry land is Australia. 558 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,800 And so he's in the jurisdiction of Max Rakitansky now. 559 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,880 I would watch that movie 100%. 560 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,680 Desert versus the sea. 561 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,280 Mad Max fury tsunami. 562 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,280 I don't know. 563 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,280 Yeah. 564 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,280 Mad Max tsunami. 565 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,280 Okay. 566 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:23,200 So we've got two very different takes on Mad Max, both of which I think we would probably 567 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,440 be murdered online for even suggesting. 568 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,800 So perfect, perfect for us. 569 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,220 And now we're doing the trailers. 570 00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:34,240 So let me get that together. 571 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:45,520 From the director that brought you crank one, crank two and ghostwriter spirit of vengeance 572 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,600 is an American take on a cult classic. 573 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,600 Meet Max. 574 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,400 He's mad played by Steven Yune and he'll stop at nothing to take down the tip cutter crew 575 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,360 and restore order to the Midwest. 576 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:05,720 This summer, Max loses his wife, Jesse played by Dorsey Cartman and him and his buddy Jim 577 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,320 Goose played by Christopher Bologna are white in the streets, red with the blood of their 578 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,320 enemies with the help of Fifi, their boss played by Terry Cruz. 579 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,760 They go up against Tommy Flanagan as Bubba Zanetti, Nicholas cage as the leader of the 580 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:29,560 toe cutters, toe cutter and high jinx ensuing burnout fuck boy Pete Davidson as Johnny the 581 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,600 boy. 582 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Are you mad? 583 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:38,360 You will be with this remake Mad Max, America road. 584 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,600 Oh, I didn't give my director actually. 585 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,000 Before we continue, my director was Clarence Willie or I'm sorry, Chris Williams. 586 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,080 Clarence Williams is somebody with the high school with. 587 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,480 Chris Williams who directed Big Hero 6. 588 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,240 Oh man, both of those are really, I didn't realize it was the same director, Big Hero 589 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,240 6. 590 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,240 I love that movie so much. 591 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,040 See, this was better than I expected it would be. 592 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,960 Yeah, I've heard nothing, but I haven't watched it all the way through yet. 593 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,080 I started it and I got distracted, but it's on the list because I've heard nothing but 594 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,080 good things about it. 595 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,480 I heard I've heard it's directors for animated films. 596 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,840 I forget that that's a thing. 597 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,120 Like you think of directors like directing live actors, you know, but I'm sure there's 598 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,320 plenty that goes into directing like an animated film, possibly even more than a regular film. 599 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,320 More. 600 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,480 And there's amazing director like Brad Bird, who did the Incredibles movies and stuff that 601 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,240 new directors of animation, but I never really think about it. 602 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,240 Yeah. 603 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,800 Those guys do some amazing work and they have to entertain a larger audience than many other 604 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,000 directors do. 605 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,560 So they have to get their lesson in there, keep the parents occupied, keep kids occupied. 606 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,560 It's a, an interesting juggling job to pull that together. 607 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaking of entertaining an audience, we've got your take next for your trailer. 608 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,400 Let me light it up. 609 00:30:53,400 --> 00:31:02,040 You ready to roll? 610 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,680 From Chris Williams and DreamWorks, it's a movie about what happens when you're too good 611 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,920 at what you do in a world that's not. 612 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:17,120 This is Mad Max Rockitansky, the best cop on the Arizona highway. 613 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:23,040 His wife played by Kristen Bell is Jessie Rockitansky and she just wants him to make 614 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,040 friends. 615 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:32,320 Sprung his dog is Kevin Hart, cutting up and having fun on the highway as they fight keeper 616 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:39,520 Sutherland's toe trimmer and his boys, Patrick Warburton and James Franco as they try to 617 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,720 win the big race. 618 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,800 But are they good enough to win the big race? 619 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,840 And does it matter when the most important thing on the road is having the drive to be 620 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:56,200 the best, to take it all on your own, even when it threatens to drive away you from the 621 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:02,280 only race that matters, the race to be the best of friends. 622 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:08,800 Mad Max, the best of friends coming this summer. 623 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,400 Sutherland's Road. 624 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,880 Yeah, fuck it. 625 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,920 Let's make this kid's movie. 626 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,920 You know what? 627 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,920 You changed my mind. 628 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,800 I am on board with this yet again, another banger from Tandy in the, in the Whackadoo 629 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:23,800 category. 630 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,800 So, Whackadoo! 631 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,480 Yeah, this is a blast. 632 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,400 I am really glad that I got a chance to rewatch Mad Max. 633 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,920 It's one of those that the road warrior is so good, like the sequel is so, so good that 634 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,920 I sometimes. 635 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,400 And that's the one that everybody has seen. 636 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,400 That's the one I saw first. 637 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,680 Yeah, and so I forget sometimes that Mad Max is still very good. 638 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,760 Like, he's a really good starter to this universe that gets created. 639 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,760 Yeah, surprisingly. 640 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:53,000 And then you throw in Thunderdome and just have a, like, silly blast. 641 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,240 But none of them have what Mad Max has, which is the Hall of Justice. 642 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,240 I forgot yet the. 643 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,760 They're like an old abandoned cement factory that's the Hall of Justice. 644 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,200 And that is awesome in itself. 645 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,920 Not just genre, but he permanently changed the way people did dystopian futures with 646 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,120 this movie. 647 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,240 And it was basically because he was in the outback of Australia and he had access to 648 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,240 these abandoned buildings. 649 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,240 And he's like, great. 650 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,240 Yeah, cool. 651 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,240 This is what it is. 652 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,440 Like this is the police station and yeah, it's like a cement plant or something. 653 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,440 Great. 654 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,440 Cool. 655 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,440 No problem. 656 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,840 Yeah, no, he's a, he was inspired and they didn't run over the kid, which was also inspired. 657 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,440 That brought me in more than any other scene in the movie where the kids out. 658 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,440 Oh, right. 659 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,440 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 660 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,440 They're driving. 661 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,440 They're driving. 662 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,200 I was like, this movie is kind of crazy, but they're not going to kill this kid. 663 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,200 Pet cemetery. 664 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,200 This is not that cemetery. 665 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,200 Like, fuck that kid. 666 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,200 Oh, I guess we'll need to add that one to the list too. 667 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,200 Actually that's already been remade. 668 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,200 Yeah. 669 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,680 Never will remake, unfortunately. 670 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,080 But at least compared to these bangers that we brought on this episode here, I think Mad 671 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,880 Max needs to go a new direction with some of our choices here. 672 00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,880 Hit us up. 673 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:00,880 We're ready and waiting. 674 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,160 So speaking of waiting, we're waiting for
