This is a midnight/college-circuit cult classic, and I think deservedly
so: the somewhat tongue-in-cheek post-holocaust scenario, the talking
dog (who for my money is the best character in the movie, Don Johnson
[so that's who that was] notwithstanding), the decidedly motley crew
led by Jason Robards that thrives underground, and a menacing robot 
named Larry(?) -- folks, this is, bizarre as it is, one of the funniest
movies I've ever seen. And that classic line at the end: one couldnt
think of a more apt ending! I would rate this a must-see.
