Maximum Overdrive (1986)

from Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time · host We Write Good

"Wait... this isn't the Black Christmas episode I was promised," you're saying to yourself and yelling at passersby. Well, when you're right, you're right! Due to an otherworldly technical audio snafu, that nearly two-hour episode cannot be presented today. But we still wanted to get you, our loyal listener, something. And so we present a hilarious Patreon bonus episode we think you'll love: 1986's MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!! It's certainly something! You love Uncle Steve, we LOVE Uncle Steve - but we can all agree that Stephen King's talents lie primarily on the page, and this bombastic, AC/DC-filled smash-up is proof. Along the way, we discuss films you can smell, death by watermelon, onscreen kid murder, crediting cocaine as the director, and trying desperately - and failing - to understand the rules here!! All that, plus slanderous ATMs, high-volume screeching, too much sweat, and a diesel-powered edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! The Beam of this universe to the Dark Tower may be broken here, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun as the world goes to hell. Happy Holidays, everybody!!
