Listener comments!

	7:01pm Linda Lee: good evening & happy post-marathon Mr. Levins! so glad to return to Morricone island!
	♥ 7:02pm Michael 98145: i thought MoMC was over :)
	7:04pm Pickle Rick: This is FMU, MoMC is NEVER over!
	♥ 7:05pm Michael 98145: -- good point
	♥ 7:07pm dale: i never saw mad max until 2010ish and it seemed kind of hokey to me the. good yes, but still hokey.
	7:07pm David in London: Ah, back on Morricone Island. It’s going nicely with this cold martini.
	♥ 7:09pm dale: ha ha - that gif is in time with the beat of the music!
	7:10pm Pickle Rick: Love this Brian May score. Here's another golden oldie from Brian (no sarcasm meant): https://youtu.be/Z7GFU5ncKhU
	7:11pm Linda Lee: amazing voice. i'd love wading in it.
	♥ 7:15pm Aitch: This is a pleasant surprise for a Sydney listener.
	♥ 7:15pm dale: just like easy rider's diner scene.
	7:16pm Linda Lee: the loathing? straight from any biker film.
	7:16pm Prettyfluffy: Great interview so far
	7:17pm Linda Lee: good storyteller = good interview.
	♥ 7:17pm Rich in Washington: so weird to have only recently heard the original dialog to Mad Max, after watching the US cut VHS tape non-stop from high school on.
	♥ 7:17pm Aitch: People should have a look at the movie Stone as well, would be obscure in USA. www.imdb.com...
	7:19pm Linda Lee: never heard a New Zealand native speak of it with anything but sincere love. must be quite a place.
	7:20pm Linda Lee: @Aitch ~ looks like a fun film. like it?
	♥ 7:21pm dale: linda - yes, great person to just sit and listen to and ignore everything else around you.
	7:21pm Linda Lee: agree agree!
	♥ 7:22pm Michael 98145: wish we had real pubs
	7:23pm Linda Lee: my gosh Gary Glitter as Frank N Furter! lovely!
	♥ 7:25pm Rich in Washington: this is a wonderful interview.
	7:26pm Linda Lee: got to see Mad Max again now. it's been 40 years!
	7:28pm Linda Lee: i'd love hearing this man sing.
	7:28pm David in London: I’ve avoided Mel Gibson’s films of late due to his rather unpleasant views on a number of topics, but I’m really wanting to see Mad Max again now.
	7:29pm Linda Lee: screw him, really. if it's enjoyable work, let's see it!
	♥ 7:30pm Devon E. Levins: Thanks All for swimming back to Morricone Island post marathon. And special thanks, of course, to all who pledged to Morricone Island specifically!! We couldn't do it without you!
	♥ 7:31pm Rich in Washington: I don't even know if you can get that badly dubbed US version if you wanted to now. Curiously, one of my local broadcast TV channels played Mad Max a few years ago and it would cut back and forth between the dubbed version and the original version, I think in order to censor something not suitable for regular TV? I am not sure.
	7:31pm David in London: @Linda Lee. Yeah, I generally don’t worry too much about such things, but I find him so repulsive now that I just steered clear. But you’re right, time to just do it.
	♥ 7:33pm Rich in Washington: I like the first two Max films, but by Thunderdome, Mel's ego seemed really swollen and he looked extra ridiculous in that wig.
	7:33pm Linda Lee: i've been steering clear since Braveheart ~ mainly because his films haven't interested me, but also because he's a repulsive person.
	♥ 7:35pm Michael 98145: know what you mean, @LL
	♥ 7:35pm Rich in Washington: "things changed": mel's anti-semitic meltdown.
	7:35pm Linda Lee: wasn't a real fan to start with ~ and then "things changed" :-D
	7:36pm David in London: Yeah, his filmography has provided pretty slim pickings of late, it’s true. I appreciated the nuttiness of Apocalypto though.
	7:36pm Linda Lee: Apocawhat?
	♥ 7:37pm Michael 98145: :)
	♥ 7:38pm Rich in Washington: Fury Road works if you imagine 'Max' is actually The Feral Kid all grown up.
	7:38pm Sugartits: Oh, Mel's not so bad.
	7:38pm Linda Lee: .. but he's no Celine! :-D
	7:38pm David in London: His Aztec era directorial effort.
	♥ 7:39pm Greg from ZONE 5: MAN I would have loved to see that Cundalini/Johnny teamup.
	♥ 7:39pm Michael 98145: i think what -really- turned me off was his "Flailing of the Christ" and the sick following it attracted
	♥ 7:41pm dale: i liked apocolypto. not historically accurate perhaps but good adventure.
	♥ 7:42pm dale: last time i saw it was on a telemundo type station - it didn't really matter, there's so little dialog.
	7:42pm Fox: Dale and David: THANK YOU. I thought Apocalypto was a really great movie and nobody has ever agreed with me.
	7:43pm Linda Lee: that's enough for me, Fox. i'll check it out.
	7:43pm Fox: Man, Devon! You have such great interviews!
	7:44pm David in London: @Michael. Yeah, that was really unwholesome. And that ludicrously pretentious second ‘the’...
	7:44pm Linda Lee: i don't remember even noticing this luscious music ~ hmm
	♥ 7:45pm Aitch: Apocalypto is a good movie.
	♥ 7:45pm dale: yes - total adrenaline from the beginning.
	7:46pm Fox: I think Apocalypto suffered in the box office basically because nobody wanted to like the film directed by jewish slur ranting and "Passion of the Christ" era Mel.
	♥ 7:46pm RomanDogBird: gee ya think
	7:47pm Linda Lee: that's called 'box office poison' ..
	🎸 ♥ 7:48pm ultradamno: I thought Apocalypto was fundamentally terrible.
	7:48pm Listener Robert: These were submitted as end credits for "The Road Warrior"? Or for the 2nd movie?
	7:48pm David in London: Fox, the ‘twist’ ending was really effective I thought.
	♥ 7:49pm Devon E. Levins: End Credits for the 1979 original coming up now
	7:49pm egould310: Great show, mate! Good on ya!
	♥ 7:49pm dale: david - agreed. loved that bit at the end.
	♥ 7:50pm Rich in Washington: I got to see Mad Max for the first time by riding into a drive-in in the trunk of my older brother's car. The ultimate drive-in flick.
	7:50pm Linda Lee: wow is that New Wave or what!
	♥ 7:51pm Rich in Washington: Wow!
	♥ 7:51pm dale: linda - i'm pogoing as we speak.
	♥ 7:51pm Devon E. Levins: That's Paul on the refrain!!
	7:51pm Linda Lee: hahaha!!
	7:52pm Listener Robert: I get mixed up as to the titles of the series. Your host was right. This would not have been the best choice. Uh, by far!
	7:52pm Linda Lee: pretty great
	♥ 7:52pm Devon E. Levins: you wanted to here him sing, Linda!
	7:52pm David in London: Bit of a spirit of The Ramones creeping in there perhaps.
	7:52pm Linda Lee: loved it. :-D
	7:53pm Listener Robert: It would've been a good selection for a teaser/trailer for the movie, though!
	♥ 7:54pm Devon E. Levins: This is a musical theater production in which Paul sang backups and played drums and production on
	7:54pm Linda Lee: what was the show? don't recognize it at all ~
	7:55pm Linda Lee: that sound! like The Apple!
	🎸 ♥ 12:40am brycepunk1: I am just hearing this now in July 2019. Been a Mad Max junkie since I was 11. This and Road Warrior were easily the two most influential movies in my life.. And to hear this on archive.. Thank you!!!!

Tue. Apr 16th, 8pm - 9pm: Byeong Woo Lee & Julian Gray (More info...)
South Korean composer and guitarist Byeong Woo Lee discusses his upcoming NYC debut concert at Town Hall on April 20 consisting of a guitar performance followed by a live film score of Bong Joon Ho's 2009 "Mother." Lee has scored 20+ films, including many of Korea's most beloved and highest grossing (The Host and A Tale of Two Sisters). Lee's mentor and Johns Hopkins University Peabody Conservatory guitar department chair Julian Gray joins the discussion.

March 20, 2018: Mad Max Special Pt. 1: PAUL JOHNSTONE (Cundalini of Mad Max)
Paul Johnstone who portrayed Cundalini in George Miller's "Mad Max" joins Devon to discuss his experiences as the mustachioed, Lolita heart-shaped glasses-wearing biker in Toecutter's menacing motorcycle gang in the 1979 Australian dystopic action film which kicked off the franchise. Paul got his start in musical theater in Australia's first productions of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the 1970s and continued on as a touring/session drummer and vocalist for Australia bands such as The Models, Straw Dogs and The Dexters, working today as an in-demand voice actor. Devon will debut the once thought lost George Miller-rejected "End Credits" that Paul recorded for the film with Stewart D'Arrietta, David Cafe and George's brother Bill Miller. "That there is Cundalini...and Cundalini wants his hand back!"
