062 - "Maximum Overdrive" - a podcast by Drew Hellmich

Directed and written by the legendary Stephen King, "Maximum Overdrive" (1986) is an insane action/comedy/horror/sci-fi movie that stars Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, and Yeardley Smith about a group of people who try to survive in a highway diner when machines start to come alive and become homicidal. But did you know that it's based on Stephen King's 1973 short story "Trucks"? Join the ride as we go over trivia like which rock band made the music for the film and which rock singer King wanted to cast as the lead role, discuss the short story compared to the film, and come to the conclusion that even one of the greatest writers of all time can make a bad movie.
