Stephen King's books have become MANY classic motion pictures. But Maximum Overdrive is the only one he wrote AND directed. How good of a director is he? The answer is: how much cocaine do you have?? Apparently he had all of it. Its an 80's action/horror/slasher/sci film made by a guy who was so coked up, he literally doesn't remember making the movie. Its got Emilio Estevez, Southern Lisa Simpson, Commissioner Gordon, and a whole bunch of sentient, killer semi trucks. What else do you want?? Toll loved it as a kid, and this is Alex's first time ever seeing it. Is there childhood ruined?? Listen now!

Mr T. was an unstoppable force in the 80's, but can Rocky stop him? What is Adrian's problem?? Remember the A-Team? So many questions!! We have answers! Listen now! Don't be mentally irregular!!

Remember 1986's One Crazy Summer?? A lot of you probably don't, but you should! Toll and Alex loved this one as kids, but it's a real deep cut. Does it hold up? John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat Goldthwait, Jeremy Piven, and Curtis "Booger" Armstrong all in one movie? What?? Yes! It might be the most insane movie we've watched yet.
