  • Mad Max is an Australian dystopian action media franchise created that began in 1979 with Mad Max, and was followed by three films: The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) (1981), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). Mel Gibson starred in the first three films and Tom Hardy took over the titular role in the fourth film.

  • The series follows the adventures of Max Rockatansky, a police officer in a future Australia which is experiencing societal collapse due to war and critical resource shortages. When his wife and child are murdered by a vicious biker gang, Max kills them in revenge and becomes a drifting loner in the Wasteland. As Australia devolves further into barbarity, this skilled warrior of the road finds himself helping pockets of civilization, initially for his own self-interest, but his motives always drift into more idealistic ones.

  • Q saw Road Warrior at least 20 times in my youth, and the new one a few years ago was highly entertaining

  • We heard some impressive grunting today

  • Celebrated the rare occasion that pre-blast theme had anything to do with the workout

  • Germany finished second in Winter Olympics medal count, and apparently the East and West Germany designation is no longer that relevant

  • Beyond Thunderdome is pretty lame movie, but do like the song

  • Please don’t turn the lights on….

  • Q’s wife has been dabbling as a chocolatier. Current creation was a chocolate covered heart on a stick with caramel and peanut butter in the middle. Based on the “candy ass” comment in the pre/blast, Pax recommends new prototype of a chocolate covered sphincter with a candied center. May need some help with branding/marketing

  • Rental opportunity in Overlook for a house on the water that could comfortably fit 20 Riverbend families this summer. Add in a charismatic leader and you have yourself a cult

  • Noodle arm effect was evident in the Thunderdome

  • Good workout while on vacation since all you need is a bench and a timer app, that is if you are so inclined

  • Some timing issues to start off, apparently it takes a shorter amount of time to program a VCR

  • Q hopes there were fond thoughts of the Thunderdome during your Friday morning soreness

  • Prayers out to El Tigre's daughter and a successful surgery 

  • Although the chorus is catchy, we are definitely in need of heroes

  • Great work men! Candy ass reference has been redacted (only for those who showed up)
