Shrill and Mallory have seen Mad Max and have some thoughts about it. (Spoilers, but probably not spoilers that make any sense if you haven't seen the movie.)

THERE’S NO WATER BUT DON’T WORRY WE GLUED SKULLS ON EVERYTHING SO THERE IS THAT
The salt flats thing mystified me, as it was implied that was the Pacific Ocean. I can accept nuclear war causing the fall of civilization, but as far as I know there's not a way to evaporate the oceans off the planet without killing off everything living on it.
I puzzled over the waterfall, and then realized they were in a desert, and the water had to come from somewhere, so I decided that water came out over the aquifer it came from and the "wasted" water filtered back through the sand. Still some loss to evaporation but better than my initial impression.

Now they need to figure out who Chris Colfer and Lucacris should play.
I'm finally watching The LEGO Movie, and I think it is just not my thing because I'm really not liking it at all.
Everything is not awesome?
