Show Notes
In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into the Mad Max franchise — one of the most influential post-apocalyptic sagas in movie history. Starting with Mad Max (1979), directed by George Miller and starring a young Mel Gibson, the series exploded into a violent, stylish vision of a collapsing world where survival is everything. From the gritty revenge tale of the first film, to the explosive action of The Road Warrior (1981), the eccentric spectacle of Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and the modern masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), we’ll cover it all.
We’ll break down the themes, action sequences, characters, world-building, and legacy of the franchise, looking at how George Miller shaped the entire post-apocalyptic action genre. Which film still stands tall as the best? How did Fury Road bring new life to the series after decades? And why does Mad Max remain one of cinema’s most unique and enduring franchises?
If you’re a fan of action movies, dystopian worlds, car chases, practical effects, and cinematic chaos, this episode is a must-listen. Expect high-octane discussion, sharp insights, and our unfiltered verdicts on every chapter of the saga.
