Red Hot '80s Action Summer Part III: Back to Duty (4) THE ROAD WARRIOR

For our last episode of this year's Red Hot '80s Action Summer, we're taking a look at George Miller's iconic film The Road Warrior (or Mad Max 2), a full-throttle action film which set the precedent for post-apocalyptic wasteland thrillers. The stunts, crashes, and fuel-guzzling chase sequences are a wonder, and we talk about all of these in detail as well as this as a precursor to Mad Max: Fury Road (see our previous episode), the assless chaps, whether Lord Humungus is really all that bad of a guy, and a lot more. We're also drinking Narragansett's Summer Crusher summer ale!
