339. Maximum Overdrive (1986) — A Torture Cinema Halloween Special "Adventure"

Cocaine, man eating machines, and AC-DC, oh my! In this special Halloween Horror edition of Torture Cinema, Shaun, David, and Alex are joined by Zena, the Real Queen of Horror, to review the 1986 Stephen King written and directed “horror” film, Maximum Overdrive. Apparently, even Stephen King couldn’t get Stephen King right. The crew discusses how stupid the premise is, eviscerate the despicable characters, muse on where one might find a goblin semi-truck, and share a story that makes the reality of this coked out travesty even more horrifying than the movie. But at least Zena liked the movie, and that means our work here is done.

We hope you enjoy the episode!

    1. We accidentally released the episode early. It was supposed to release on Patreon earlier this week. It’ll drop proper in a couple days.

  1. My like: Stephen King’s cameo. “HONEY!?! COME OVER HERE, SUGAR BUNS! THIS MACHINE JUST CALLED ME AN ASSHOLE!!!”

  2. About the airplane scene. It did have a purpose, actually. Later on, two of the characters see it sticking out of someone else’s car – apparently kamikazed into them. So yep, even high a freakin’ kite, King is still the master of Chekhov’s Gun XD
