An ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film. Each week, we tackle a "classic" of film history but do these films actually hold up for a modern audience? Can they entertain someone who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era?

Join hosts Isaac, Juzo, and Cameron as they explore the first film in the dystopian world of George Miller's groundbreaking film, 'Mad Max' (1979). Starring Mel Gibson in the titular role, this gritty tale follows Max as he navigates a lawless Australian outback plagued by violence and chaos. With intense action sequences and a haunting portrayal of societal collapse, this cult classic is either a budget benchmark in cinematic action or a historical documentary on how Australia began. Buckle up for an introductory discussion about Miller and how 'Mad Max' revolutionized the post-apocalyptic action. P.S. Juzo disapproves of this horrendous SEO farming description.
