In this episode of the show, which also happens to be the 300th main podcast recording, we are joined by Tony and Rich to discuss the merits and demerits of the 1986 Maximum Overdrive. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Stephen King getting talked into directing by Dino De Laurentiis and making an absolute mess of things on set of this movie, how the production was mired in crises from day one and how it became a movie that can only be loved in a “so bad it’s good” way. We also talk about Yeardley Smith’s cringe-inducing performance, King being after all a fan of low brow humor, the idea of stretching a concept of The Mist meeting Night of the Living Dead but with trucks into a protoplast of Robopocalypse, AC/DC’s soundtrack and much more!

Tune in and enjoy!
