#119 – Mad Max

from Movie Go Round

In this Around the World, Brett brought us an Ozploitation classic, the original Mad Max. Made on a shoestring budget with a baby Mel Gibson and a scenery-chewing Hugh Keays-Byrne, does it give any hints of the furious road madness to come? Was it everything David and Nicole imagined that a movie specializing in car crashes and violence would be? And what the heck is a "sprog"? Here's the documentary Nicole mentioned. Follow along with the show by watching our next film, a You Did This to Us Pick, Cats. You're monsters. All of you. Email the show at [email protected].

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
