SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t seen Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), two things: Firstly, Ed speaks extensively, lovingly, obsessively, about this movie during this week’s episode, so get ready for that. Secondly, if you haven’t yet seen this movie, please get your life together. It’s 40 years old for goodness’ sake. What have you been doing all these years?And keeping with the movie theme of the week, Andy and Ed get the creative juices flowing and, through sheer force of will, produce absolute screenplay gold. It’s very hard to describe what happened this week as anything other than the birth of a franchise. Invest Now . . . . . . somehow. This is a public episode.
