Pop’s Cult Theater: Mad Max Double Feature

Pop’s Cult Theater is here! Every month, we’ll be curating a double feature featuring flicks that are a little bit weird, a little bit different, and a whole lot of kickass.

For our July installment, we’re heading to the wasteland for a double feature with Mad Max: MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR and MAD MAX: FURY ROAD.

Max Rockatansky returns in MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.

In MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, Years after the collapse of civilization, the tyrannical Immortan Joe enslaves apocalypse survivors inside the desert fortress the Citadel. When the warrior Imperator Furiosa leads the despot’s five wives in a daring escape, she forges an alliance with Max Rockatansky, a loner and former captive. Fortified in the massive, armored truck the War Rig, they try to outrun the ruthless warlord and his henchmen in a deadly high-speed chase through the Wasteland. Presented in Black and Chrome, the monochrome regrade preferred by director George Miller..
