Manage episode 416887945 series 3408640
Ladies and gentlemen, rev your engines! All the way from post-apocalyptic London, England it's 'Mad' Maxim Gertler-Jaffe, joining Benno and Lexo for a poddo about the original MAD MAX film by director George Miller. Throw a shrimp on the barbie, Australia dingo koala Malcolm Turnbull. It's a classic of independent action cinema and the beginning of a beloved and ever-evolving franchise!
Before we talk about the wasteland we discuss the latest edition of the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival. Maxim (and Ben) talk about some warm documentaries from the fest, share some classic favourite docs, and talk about the difference between essay films and video essays.
Next week we talk about THE ROAD WARRIOR. Keep your eyes peeled for Maxim's upcoming documentary HOW TO ROB A BANK on Netflix June 5th!
