About this listen

We’re starting 2026 by going back to the beginning with Mad Max.

Before the wasteland. Before the mythology. Before Max became a symbol.This is a small, angry road movie about a world still pretending to function.

We talk about the collapse of law before the collapse of society, the violence that feels more procedural than heroic, and a protagonist who understands exactly what the road will turn him into — and can’t avoid it anyway.

This is where the franchise starts, and it doesn’t look like what people remember.

Franchise Addicts — one franchise, one film at a time.
