Episode 149 – Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive is pure chaos: killer trucks, bad decisions, and ACDC blasting over it all. Tune in as Troy and Roger dissect the film's absurdity, from soda can massacres to a steamroller scene that no one saw coming. They lament the lack of character development, the baffling romantic interludes, and the diner patrons casually ignoring electrocutions. With a mix of dark humor and critical analysis, they tackle the film’s cult status, questionable pacing, and why it’s both terrible and weirdly entertaining. Spoiler: the Green Goblin truck steals the show. Find out more at http://www.darknightofthepodcast.com
