    Mad Max

    Mad Max

    When an Australian emergency room doctor set out to make a humble little car chase movie in the late '70s, he had no idea it would turn into an incredibly long-lived franchise that would light our minds on fire and cause us all to drive just a little bit faster. And now that nearly 50 years have passed, the Mad Max franchise has remained incredibly pure, with only five movies and a whopping two video games to speak of. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Diamond Feit, and Stuart Gipp as the crew enters a veritable Thunderdome of podcasting to chat about Mad Max. WITNESS US!

    Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation. To support the show, and get two full-length exclusive episodes every month, as well as access to 50+ previous bonus episodes, please visit the official Retronauts Patreon at patreon.com/retronauts.

Great Show

This is a great podcast with a long backlog to binge, however some of the older episodes are out of order so if that was fixed that would be cool. Great show keep it up!

Best gaming podcast

Longtime listener/Patreon subscriber, I never skip an episode

Longtime listener, high time to leave a review

I've been listening to Retronauts since 1up, and its one of the few videogame shows I regularly listen to (Rebel FM). I don't always listen, depending on the subject matter, but it is one of the few shows I see myself coming back to regularly and consistently. Thanks y'all!
