Very interesting conversation these two have - the characters of The Boss and his wife are especially good.

Raymond Massey should've kept his giant black helmet on. That would've made him more intimidating to this petty warlord.

This is like a post-civilization, Mad Max, kind of science fiction story.

Check out the blond's coiffure @ 2:08; apparently hairstyling wasn't a lost skill in Post-Apocalyptic Everytown. :-)
