About this episode

May the Fourth be with you! Tim and Jim rule of two to break down the WGA strike (prerecorded on Sunday with a force premonition of it's imminence) and revel in our experiences seeing Return of the Jedi in theaters for its 4th anniversary. Plus we hear from fans in 1983, and Jim's 5-year-old gets a sick burn in on Nicole Kidman.
