    In 1985 I talked to George Miller for Time Out to tie in with the UK release of MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME. Have long since lost the interview (which was spiked at the 11th hour when Orson Welles died & they needed the space for tributes) but this is the transcript. multiglom.com/2015/05/12/g...

    I'm not sure I'd say Eye of the Tiger more famous than Rocky. Any more than Glory of Love was bigger than Karate Kid or We Don't Need Another Hero was bigger than Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Flash Gordon. Highlander. You know what's a weird outlier, though, now that I'm thinking about it? Batdance. Must…

    Saw Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome on the big screen last night. Big cable movie for me as a kid, cool to see it in a theater. Tina Turner charted 2 songs from the soundtrack that were somehow both solid pop tracks for 1985 and lyrically tailored to the plot of a post-apocalyptic story. A queen. RIP.
