It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
About this episode
The episode discusses the film 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World' and its relevance nearly fifty years later.
This film is the Avengers Endgame of comedy stars in the mid 20th Century. Every funny person has a role here, from Jerry Lewis to the Three Stooges. But does it hold up nearly a half century later? Will Andrew and Liz like Jess's hyper fixation from childhood? Is the film too darn long? We'll have to find out together.
