About this episode
The episode features a battle between 'Hellboy' and 'Mad Max: Fury Road' focusing on the theme of antiheroes.
Hellboy (2004) vs Mad Max Fury Road (2015) The category for today's battle is "Antiheroes". It's another action packed episode as two films go head to head for a spot on the Greatest Films Of The 21s Century List. Our first film is Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy". We had a great time revisiting this prothetic laden comic book gem. Then its George Miller's masterpiece "Mad Max : Fury Road". A fully loaded ride into the heart of a dystopian desert hellscape. It's a long one so make sure you have plenty of "Aqua Cola" and please watch your whammer. Remember to rate, review and follow the show.
