24. VERNON WELLS ON MAD MAX 2
31:30||Season 1, Ep. 24Vernon Wells was appearing in a play in Australia when George Miller decided to cast him in Mad Max 2. The role of feral psychopath Wez changed his life as Hollywood bosses loved the movie and his character. What he thought would be 15 minutes of fame turned into a 40-plus year career. Roger Crow talks to the amiable Aussie about The Road Warrior, Innerspace, Commando, Weird Science, and how he made a new life in America. With Stranger Things 5 dominating the box, there’s also a fabulous version of Running Up That Hill by an Oklahoma songstress. And culled from a 1983 C-120 cassette tape, an anonymous comedy advert for ‘Snack Shack’, which has survived the ravages of time rather well. If anyone knows its origin or artist, feel free to comment. As ever, thanks for listening and feel free to leave positive vibes, comments, and/or ratings, because this show is nothing without you. Cheesy but true.
