Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985): An Iconic Failure

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome one of the most bizarrely entertaining and head scratching films to emerge from the 80s. Join Nathan, Sam, and Bee as they navigate through the desert of chaos, where survival is an art form and Thunderdome is the ultimate arena of justice. Expect the unexpected as we dissect the film's quirkiest moments, debate the ethics of post-apocalyptic fashion, and try to answer the age-old question: "Who run Bartertown?" On the pod this week we welcome back returning champion Mark Krawczyk from The Final Cut Podcast.

About the Podcast

Back to the Frame Rate
Preserving Our Civilization One MOVIE At A Time
Back to the Frame Rate is a movie discussion podcast where filmmakers, actors, and passionate wannabes come together to celebrate the art of cinema. From beloved popcorn flicks of the '80s, '90s and today, to timeless classics and arthouse gems we cover it all. But we’re not just here to talk movies — we’re here to save them!

In a world facing imminent asteroid-induced doom (think Armageddon without the happy ending), we’ve built a fallout shelter for the greatest films of all time. With only enough space for a carefully curated vault of 35mm and 70mm reels, the stakes couldn’t be higher. We comb through the likes of AFI’s 100, Sight & Sound’s Greats, and IMDB’s Top 250 to decide which films are worthy of saving — and which will be purged forever.

Join hosts Nathan Suher, Sam Coale, and Briana (Bee) Butterworth as they passionately debate cinema’s survival, ensuring the future of storytelling one reel at a time. Sadly, the space is tight, just enough for us and our cherished 35mm and 70mm film reels. To friends, family, and old acquaintances left in the cinematic dust, our apologies. But fret not, for we vow to emerge when Earth is safe for repopulation. We've preserved the very soul of civilization, ensuring a future where storytelling thrives. Back to the Frame Rate, saving the world one reel at a time!
Hosted by Nathan Suher, Sam Coale, and Briana (Bee) Butterworth.
