This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head into the post-apocalypse (?) of 1979's Max Max to celebrate the 45th anniversary of George Miller's classic. Miller's debut film, Mad Max is set in a dystopian Australia on the brink of societal collapse. Mel Gibson stars as Max Rockatansky, one of the few remaining police officers trying to maintain law and order. A sadistic motorcycle gang led by Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne) becomes a thorn in Max's side when they first target his partner Goose (Steve Bisley) and then Max and his family.
The guys talk about how things seem OK for a world on the brink of collapse, how Goose becomes the main character for a large section of the movie, if Max and his wife Jessie (Joanne Samuel) are bad parents, the memorable climax where Max finally gets Mad and more.
You can watch Mad Max on Prime Video, Tubi, and PlutoTV. Next week we're talking about the 90s spin on Most Dangerous Game, Surviving the Game for its 30th anniversary.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris send their minds 10 years into the past to discuss X-Men: Days of Future Past for its 10th anniversary.
The follow-up to X-Men: First Class, Days of Future Past combined the new cast introduced in Matthew Vaughn's movie with the OG Fox X-Men cast for a battle across time as Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) gets his consciousness sent back to 1973 to prevent the events that lead to a dark future where mutants (and their human allies) are hunted by the ruthless robots known as Sentinels. Zach and Chris talk about how terrible the Sentinel design is, the still incredible Quicksilver (Evan Peters) slo-mo sequence, the fun bits of alternate history, how exactly Hank's (Nicolas Hoult) serum gives Charles (James McAvoy) back the ability to walk, the Timecopesque implications of the ending scene and more.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is available to stream on Max. Next week, we're diving into Walter Hill's "rock n roll fable" Streets of Fire, which is turning 40.

Godzilla (2014)
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris return to the start of the Monsterverse to discuss Godzilla for its 10th anniversary.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, Godzilla kicked off the Monsterverse as a pair of giant kaiju called MUTOs emerge and wreak havoc across the globe. Their appearance also draws the attention of Godzilla, who hunts the MUTOs down as they challenge his role as the alpha predator of the Earth. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is Ford Brody, a Navy EOD soldier who is trying to get home to San Fransisco but keeps getting caught in the battle between the giant monsters. Zach and Chris talk about the lifecycle of MUTOs, the dramatically more serious tone compared to the current Monsterverse entries, the early death of Bryan Cranston, the awesome sense of size and scale, and more. You can watch Godzilla on Max.

A "remake" of the 1932 Boris Karloff Universal Monsters classic, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, John Hannah, and Oded Fehr star in the action-packed update that was a massive hit in 1999 and spawned sequels, a spin-off franchise, a theme park ride, and an animated series. Zach and Chris talk about how the curse to punish Imhotep makes him an unstoppable evil force, try to figure out what crime Rick committed that would get him hanged, the outstanding balance of action, humor, and horror, if there's one too many greedy weasely characters and more.
