Please enjoy Maximum Overdrive live in Austin. Austin. Happen! Hi. I like that. I saw a dick hot dog up here. I like, there you go. Dick Hot Dog, beautiful. I saw a big dick hot dog. That guy's huge.

What? Pardon me? You heard me. That guy's huge. Oh, you signed it with, that's a big dick hot dog. That was my name in high school. My name is Andrew Jupin. I'm Chris Cabin. Stephen Sadak. Eric Siska. And we are We Hate Movies from New York City. How are you guys doing this afternoon? Hi everybody. Evening, whatever the hell it is.

So real quick, how many of you guys are familiar with the show we run on the internet? Okay. Okay. For those who don't, for those who just were coming here to see Black Men Can Jump, which, by the way, round of applause. Yeah. That was fucking great. We are a bad movie podcast. Yes.

Where we take a movie of, you know, varying quality, as it were, and we kind of just sort of poke fun at it a little bit. Just a little bit. Just a scotch. So has anyone watched Maximum Overdye? Oh, right, right, right, right. It's from 1986, directed by some guy. Some person.

Clickety clack. Now, by the way, that is a ballsy trailer. That is full of balls, my God. Let's get it out of the way. It's not a horror movie. It's not a hard movie. No, so who is getting the hell scared out of them? The financiers.

Yes. Well, dude, by the way, the start of that trailer and the start of the movie, a great sign you're about to waste a ton of money. Dino de Laurentius is involved. It was directed by the nice cartel that provided Stephen King with all of what he needed. Yeah, yeah, no, he was down the slopes on this one. Like a fucking black diamond trail.

His eyes are going this one. way and that way in that trailer. Holy shit. He was directing scenes in his head like ten scenes ahead of time. Not telling anybody. No, we did this scene already. We did it already. No, Stephen, we didn't. That scene's not even

in the script. Just get naked. Shut up. So, Eric Siska, if you could do us all a quick favor. Uh-oh. Just, like, really just quickly distill down to its very Stephen King

essence, what that move is. Okay, so cars and electronic devices it's very ill to find, by the way. Some of them come to life and attack people. And some don't, some don't. And that's the movie. Good night, everybody.

Hashtag not all cars. Well, I have another way of describing it. Okay. Okay, so you know how there's Magic Mike and then Magic Mike XXL? Yes. This is Christine and then Christine XXXX. Oh. Very good, Chris Cabin. I like that. You know, I have a fan

theory about this movie? This presupposes that there's fans of this movie. Maybe it's more, you have a viewer theory. I know you're all thinking I think that Pat Hingle died and this is all in his memory. Right, that's the most popular universal. You know, it's like happening

in his mind? No, it's not that. My theory is it's a bunch of ghosts. A bunch of vicious ghosts. Oh! Because like cars, electronic devices, a gun at some point? Something's pulling that trigger. Okay.

It's a ghost. A malicious ghost. We call them poltergeist. Exactly. Now, imagine all, like, everyone who ever lived is now a boulter, a hordeaux. A hordeaux of phantoms. To sort of, like, add to this, right? So do you think then that this gas station where the majority of the film takes place built over an ancient Native American burial ground?

It would have to be. That's it. That's it. Pat Hingle knew that going in. Now, Chris Cabin, I understand you have a fan theory as well? The separate theory. Dueling viewer theories. There's no fans of this.

Somebody likes it. Does anyone like this? No. Thank you. Yeah. I saw two hands. All the sheepish handraising, they're gonna make fun of me. This guy in the back is probably like,

fuck you four fat fucks. I executive produced that movie. And it was great. Dino De La Rentis, everybody. I'm gonna buy this. your podcast. Is my, Dino Di Laurentis. Yikes. Jesus.

I'm kind of a Dracula, but Italian. Yeah, way to skew it towards Dracula to save your ass, bud. By the way, it is for sale. If anyone's interested, we'll be selling it outside. Wait, so Chris Cabin, with your viewer theory, go ahead here. Okay, so as many of you, the fans,

five of you know. And then, like, four other people. This movie is chalk full of fucking ACDC. Yes. There's only one universe when this much ACDC is allowed, and that is the alternate Back to the Future 2, 1985, when Biff Tannen rules over everything. Yes.

This is two years after Biff took over. So that's like non-voluntary ACDC at that point. Everywhere. You're not allowed to choose ACDC. No, it's like, hey, Budhead, ACDC does the soundtrack to every movie now. Only Biff gets Van Halen. Everybody else gets ACDC. You get like a national bird?

national bands. They replace all the elevator music. It's all, you know, for those about to rock. But would they do... Here comes a bride! We salute you! Happy Bar Mitzvah! What is there a song called Happy Bar Mitzvah?

Yes, I wrote it. Okay. I'm gonna buy that song. Oh, man. You know what's great, by the way? This movie starts with an electronic device telling Stephen King himself that he's an asshole. And I don't think that Stephen King's an asshole,

but maybe he himself thinks he's an asshole. It's actually the most honest thing ever because the bank is telling people fuck you. Oh, right, not secretly fucking them, but just openly fucking their face. And we should mention that all this is happening, this mayhem is happening, because a comet flew by the earth. Oh, right. There's a little bit of, it's not a scroll,

it's just a too long paragraph. A run-on sentence. It's a poorly punctuated, misspelled run-on sentence that takes up the whole frame that nobody checked out and they leave it on way too long because they know what's going on. You know who's watching this. This was the Ria M. Comets. Pardon?

The comets named Ria, like Ria Perlman. Oh, man. You know who loved this movie? Danny DeVito? Yes, but... Ted Danson? No, God damn it. Woody Harrelson.

Coach, a guy who plays? Coach. John Ratsenberger. John Ratsenberger. The guy who ran Shears. The Heavens. No, no. Yes.

The Heavens Gate cult. Oh, okay. Yes. A religion. A religion was based on this movie. So, like, they were, that's why they drank that juice. They thought a bunch of fucking cars were going to kill them? Yeah.

Okay. Wait, what the hell just happened over here? I think we got a Heaven's Gate. Oh, nice. It's nice to see some of you guys stuck around. I loved the jumpsuits. So I think the idea is why that Stephen King's bank account calls him an assholes because that's like what he thought every time he took out money for Coke. Like, you fucking asshole. You do it again, you fucking asshole.

We know what this is for. You're an asshole. Just smoke weed. It's much cheaper. But that's what, this movie starts with like a montage of things going wrong. It's like a YouTube highlight reel of better movies. You know what I mean? Yeah, I would watch

Killer Coca-Cola machine the motion picture. Right, there's like a Little League coach he gets hit in the nuts with a can. And then like he gets this big one like right here in the forehead like half his head comes off. That's impossible. I like killer lawnmower.

I would like that to be a series, a franchise even. Isn't that kind of what lawnmower Man starts out as? No. Have you seen that movie? Nah. Okay.

So you think Stephen King was like doing coke? I was like, oh man, lawnmower man. Oh, did he write that one? Yeah, of course he did. He did? I told you I didn't see it. I think he did, right? I don't know about that scene.

Audience? Yeah, all right, yeah, there we go. So he did. Was it a Richard Bachman? Oh, why the fuck didn't Richard Bachman do this, by the way? That's what he uses to hide behind. Or Alan Smithy. Oh, Richard Bachman.

You could. in Alan Smithy this because he's in the trailer. Everybody would know. Have you ever seen Alan Smithy? Oh, that's true. Hi, I'm Alan Smithy. And I'm so high on Coke right now. My name is name withheld. You know what's great about that trailer?

Another thing that I love is like he's supposed to point at the camera to be like, scare the hell out of you. But he's so high that it's, I'm going to scare the hell out of you. You see his hand? It's way over here. him, he's inside his own head and doesn't know what to do.

And look at the guy holding the boom mic is like, me? I already know what happens. Yeah, Stephen, I'm scared, man. Could we go home? Is it lunch or what? Is that the signal for me to get the Coke guy again?

Coke guy? Yeah, so I guess, yeah, there's that, there's the, but the Little League seems fantastic because a kid gets run over by a steamroller. Sure does. Sure does. Child death in a movie.

Child death. I always say, child death in a movie like that, you have guts as a filmmaker. Stephen King? Gutsy filmmaker. That kid gets run over, and he wanted it to be goryer, and they said no. He was like, could you put like a packet of blood in his jacket, and then it'll pop? Oh, Jesus. They were like, no, no one

wants to watch a kid pop. My mother made this pot of spaghetti. Just pour it out there. Oh shit, mom's spaghetti doing it. I want to see a kid pop. So yeah, Coke machine, kid popping with the steamroller. That's a good one. Oh, the favorite, though, the drawbridge.

Oh, the drawbridge is really important. It is so, sir, it is so stupid. That's why we're here talking about it. Let us take it from here. Now, as the fifth beetle down here mentioned, it's so stupid. Wait, hold on. Don't say Beatles, man. Don't do it.

The fifth monkey. We're bigger than Jesus. Don't say that down here. I don't know what's going on. No, so this drawbridge is great because these two drawbridge operators are kind of just playing cards not paying attention to the drawbridge.

And is this like lighthouse keeper? Is it that kind of a chill job? I guess. No, it seems high stakes, man. Lighthousekeeper? No, no, drawbridge guy. Drubbridge keepers. Listen, you only got to care when a boat comes by, right?

Right, yeah. Or in this case, when a comet makes it open by itself and all these cars start falling through it. You see the goddamn button go down. I'm saying ghosts. I think he's on to something. I think the comet thing's just like a, like a, to throw us off course. Or like a red herring, as they say, in the business.

Right, or the comet resurrects the dead. Oh, okay. Stealing from George Romero now, too. Hmm, maybe. Oh, there's a satellite. Who cares? But people say. see the ground

lift above them and they're like, well, the light's not on, so I'm going to keep driving. Yes, some of this is on the people. Yeah, absolutely. It can't all be the comet or whatever the park. When the ground moves, you put your car in park. And then you're like, all right, we'll see what happens here. Also, if you're

in a car and a slow-moving drawbridge starts going like this, get out. Yeah. Just get out of your car. Look how much time you have. But then... And it goes even slower than this. Also... It's going that slow and someone flies through a windshield. That's pretty great.

Yeah, it's at a 10 degree angle and it's just 90 everything. What I love is there is a watermelon truck. That, uh-oh. Oh, man, we love fucking watermelon trucks, don't we? No, but the amazing thing is it starts going everywhere. And I'm thinking, was that going to a... Where else could a watermelon truck go to

than a Gallagher show in 1987? That's actually true. It's 1986. people are kind of like just starting to not give a shit but we're not there yet so he's still selling out venues like I don't know they call them palladiums or big theater or an auditorium like that right

wait what happened oh son of a bitch all of them wait hold on they were smashed for free you gotta pay to see that Gallagher there's other fruit you could use I'm about a cantalope

would you tell Leonardo da Vinci how to paint cantaloupe pineapple no you ever try to smash a pineapple with a hammer it's so fucking dangerous

the little spiky parts going everywhere I can't change my act I'd have to take two months to figure out a pineapple bit wait and they were all smashed at the same time

this bridge is trying to outdo my bit if there was ever like a watermelon shortage I'm just picturing Gallagher like dissecting a pineapple, I kind of figure it out. No, I can't do it. I just don't know how the thing works. It's not

funny. I wish it was funny. Pineapples brown on the outside, yellow on the inside. It's not green and pink. There's nothing funny about yellow on the inside. Curse-SLAT? No, it's got to be Chris Splat. What if it was like

Gallagher's tropical tour? Like sometimes there's alternate flavors a candy. Do you have any watermelon skittles. That's closer than a pineapple. Like a whole boatload of watermelon skittles. A Gallagher

Cruz. Oh, I would throw myself right the fuck off. What a happy drowning that would be. Is it one of his specials called overboard actually, I think. Are going overboard? Yes, it was. Wow. All right. Does it say that on your

special edition DVD you have of it? It's a Blu-ray. Oh, wow. See that shit in high-deaf. It's the best. I just sit there and watch it with a poncho just to feel it. Oh, gross. So we're taken to the Dixie boy, right?

Is that it? Yes, but I have to touch on something really quick, Steve Sadek. I'm so sorry. No, you should be. Because there's an extra in this bridge scene that I think is very important to mention the famous actress Marla Maples. And if you don't know who that is,

it's our idiot president's second wife. Boob! What was that? Somebody just connected. Are someone charging their phone? Yes, I love Maxim. Overdrive. I, you were so beautiful as a dead woman.

I love dead women. Yep. All right. He might. He just might love dead women. I love them. There's a lot of good cars on both sides of this argument.

Yeah, you've got the Green Goblin car. But there's Antifa cars. There's Antifa cars. What about the alt humans? Hey, Jared, why isn't Maximum Overdrive on Blu-ray? Think of time for another

executive order. That would be amazing if you're just signing executive orders to release things on Blu-ray. They'd be just as pointless as all the rest of. Shout Factory has been nationalized. Oh, I like that.

It already exists, sir. All right, so Steve Sadek, what were you saying? We go to the Dixie Boy, which is a gas station. It's a gas station slash, like, I don't even know. Entertainment complex is what I'd call. It's a halfway house slash gas station. With an eatery. There's, like, nothing but convicted felons working there.

Yes. And, like, Pat, him. is like, got some scam going? Well, because he's sort of, like, stealing, he's getting free labor because it's like, he's going to tell all, like Emilio Estevez, for example, is an ex-con.

And he's like, you know what, Emilio, I'm going to dock your pay and tell your parole officer. And he just starts puttering out like that. And Emilio Estevez, who has bright pink eyes throughout this movie, is high out of his mind. It's just like, you know, oh, This motherfucker is seeing through time while making this movie.

Does that explain the neck beard he's got in this movie? Yeah, I think it does. It's a grody-looking neck beard. You see how the logo over there is pink kind of? It's like that. It's not like bloodshot. It's just like where the white should be. It's just all pink.

truck. It's driven by Frankie Faison. And it's for some reason, it's like he won Pip My Ride, like the day before. And he was like, oh, I kind of enjoy comic books. Like, we're going to make the whole fucking car look like the green goblet. He's like, okay.

Do you think that those people on that show had to say, like, you know what? I think you're going a little too far. Yeah, exactly. I don't need that many DVD players in a car. Like, one DVD player is probably too many DVD players in the car. You can watch a standard deaf DVD in your trunk.

No, you definitely need a pyramid on that Chevrolet. I guess I live here now but Stephen King must have called Marvel Comics to get this authorized right? You know what I mean? You have to call Stan the man himself to get that you know, that's one of his babies that's a conversation like two of our greatest writers

of all time just talking to each other it's like F Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway just talking just two geniuses you know what I mean I bet Stan Lee's convo with Stephen King was much less racist than that other conversation. Probably. Probably. Just a guess. So this is what's kind of annoying

about this movie, right? We sort of posited earlier today that this movie would be better if it was just vignettes of people getting fucked over by cars and electronic devices and whatnot. But instead it's like, you know what's a great idea? Really going to scare the hell out of people like I promise during that trailer? Let's just

leave everything at this gas station. Aren't you interested in Emilio Estevez's romantic? Yes. Sex life, maybe, work life? No. Okay. He targets frightened hitchhikers.

And Yardley Smith of the Simpsons there, who's, I guess we're involved in Pee play in this movie a little bit. Oh, God. Because it's their honeymoon, they're driving, and she's like, I have to go to the bathroom and the guy's like, why bother?

And it's like, wait, what is this movie? I don't understand. Okay. Here's the thing. Yeah. Wait, wait. First I saw Marla and now this, I'm getting all kinds of ideas. Five stars!

This is the best movie ever made. Hey Russian oligarchs, come watch this movie with me. But listen though, even if you are into P-Play, right? Two little thumbs up. E-E-E-E. 120 Days of Solum, got knocked you down a peg. All right, listen. Even if you are into P-Play, which is fine.

We're not judging. I don't care. It's fine. But why be cool with ruining the front seat of that car? There's no plastic under that? But it's also like you just married

this guy and now he's just whipping out the fetish card immediately. That's the thing. I feel that is a before... That's a before we say our vows situation. No, because now you can't get out of it. It's 1986. And?

It's in the South. Oh, fair. We should say this does take place in North Carolina. They're going to a place. It's called... Woo! Nice!

Yeah, I love... College Basketball! I was in California, and also get a week of first. Perfect. Wow, I didn't know that. A lot of fans of the Dixie Boy here tonight. You know what's another annoying thing about this movie?

Sure. So, like, when we try to scare people with this movie, we also rip off a great scary movie, Psycho, right? You guys remember, like, the screen. preaching violins, right? Something similar happens, but because all music, of all kinds, sound effects included, I think,

have to be produced by ACDC. When you want the scares to come, it's just somebody with a guitar going, Kongi, Kongi, Kongi! See, I dispute that. I think it was just Angus hitting a guitar over a block engine over and over again.

It's scary. Oh, yeah! You're going to shit! I like how How ACDC sounds like the duck tails kids. Huey Dewey and Louie? For those about to rock, Uncle Scrooge.

Yeah, well, you know, our vocal talents are limited. They get the idea. But I just like the idea of using that to scare people. It's just like, Look out here comes Michael Myers. It's like no one, you know, you need that synth but do do do do do do do do do do. Totally.

Made by talented people. John Carpenter hitting one keyboard note over and over again. Look out for that guy. He's a werewolf. For those about to suck. He is Dracula. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Also, a bad idea when you're making a movie, such as this, such as Maximum Overdrive. to just kind of say, you know what, every song by ACDC. Every last one of them. Because what winds up happening is when they're trying to build tension in this movie

at different parts, right? For those listening at home, I just kind of rolled my eyes and shrugged. All they can do because it's fucking ACDC, one of the loudest bands in the history of music, is just turn it down. So, like, Amelia Westiff is crawling through a sewer

and it's like, it's just a total failure and it makes no like you want to have ACDC songs in it fine but the opening credits are like songs by ACDC like yeah you can end your movie with like whatever whatever the big ones you know all the big hits every last one I don't know ACDC

I don't fucking listen to ACDC that one we came out to was that there I think so I think that's a big one that is a big one. So we just have this rag tag group of people at this gas station, and they're all just stuck here because a gaggle or a convoy, you might say. Of trucks.

Yes. Just come on in. They're circling like sharks, Andrew. Oh, shit. Shark trucks. That we should have had an Angus Young guitar riff there. Bairnaw. Bairnaw.

How are they communicating, you know? That's the question I want to know. I think because we're not in the... In the cabs, it's the CB radio. Oh, yeah? Breaker, breaker. The cars should just talk. Let's just fucking do it.

And I want, like, later, like, when, like, Emilio Estevez is, like, going through that tunnel, I want them to, like, to figure it out. They have, like, a map, a blueprint of the area. You want to see a truck reading a blueprint? Yes, exactly. Okay. It's like, go ahead. Well, there's an access tunnel here, if you look, like, that kind of a thing.

Well, I mean, that makes, I mean, they're essentially, like, Decepticon's separatists. They have, like, a small. they're not like trying to rule the world or anything. They just want to kill this Dixie boy. Sam Witwiki, pull over immediately. I want to fuck up this gas station. Wait a second. Let's kill Donald Trump's first wife.

Second, please. Keep the order of our president's wife in line, all right? She was two. I think you're on to something here. Oh, with the Transformers? Yes. Yeah, definitely. But they should be talking.

Because also then you get some celebrity voice casting in, I think, is the other idea. Well, there's a truck that looks like Mader. Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. Oh, Mader's mother, Bertha. Hey, cool, I'm going to kill people at this gas station. That's a fun movie.

And, like, he's, like, ramming a woman against a wall or something. And it's just like, get her done. Also, actually, you know what? Maybe they're not Decepticons. Maybe they're, what are the good ones? Auto. Autobots. Because they're trying to kill this Dixie boy.

Okay, number one, that name. Number two. Yes. Pat Hingle. is docking people's pay. Maybe the truck staked this out for a while. Like, this guy is no good. And we find out he's storing guns in the basement.

I don't know what that's about. Yeah, that's a whole other movie. So maybe, I don't know why they killed everyone else, but they're going after Pat Hingle, and that's a good thing. And if they could talk, right, that's the thing. It would be like, we're just here for Hingle. Send Hingle out. The rest of you will live.

Imagine how great the movie would be if after everyone who got killed who isn't Pat Hingled, they just go, whoops. I killed another one. jet. Going to send myself into space now. Oh, God damn. I'm going to need a calculator. But we also, so this kid like goes away, like he runs away from the Little League there

and he goes down this like street and everyone has died in hilarious fashion and like improbable ways. Like some lady gets a hairdryer wrapped around her neck. She strangled with a hairdrier. How does that work? I think that woman, no, no, no, that woman was just murdered. Like this kid's bicycling down his street and he's like looking at all this carnage

and there's a woman like hanging out a window with a cord wrapped around her neck and he's like, oh, I think she just got killed. That's a very separate but equally dangerous serial killer that's currently active. Say! It would be a better movie. Like all this stuff is happening

and the killer's just like, now I can do it. I'll blame it on the cars. Perfect timing. Let's do it. Yeah, maybe a car can strangle someone. Who knows? Sprinklers are going off. Again, that's why none of this is consistent. They don't have motors.

That's a simple machine. Like, do police work too? Are ramps going to come to life? Oh, shit, a killer ramp? Oh, my God. Electric wheelchairs? Come on. Oh, that would be a lot of fun.

See, that's what we're missing right there, right? A good electric wheelchair. Some minions. Some minions for the trucks. Well, because we had that, like, the stair lift thing in Gremlins, right? What about something similar? Chuck an old woman out a window? And there's a hungry lawnmower, as we talked about before.

Which that's like the most obvious one, right? And why can't I see it killing people? I think this is also the first, I was going to say animal, but first machine that actually growls like a panther or something. That's how you make it scary. That's how you scare the hell out of people. I guess. I'm going to scare the hell out of you.

Wherever you are. Come back here. Just like imagine if like a car, was a tiger. Tiger cars? I love tiger cars. Are you scared yet? Getting there.

So at this at the Dixie Boy we have like a cornucopia of good character actors in this movie. Yeah so we said Frankie Faison. Yeah but they're all covered in ketchup. Everybody's fucking filthy

in this movie. They're all living at a truck stop. Of course they're filthy. Well that's the thing is like they have to spend the night there but it seems like it's not the end of the world for anybody, right? It's just Tuesday. Milo Estavis is trying to get late.

Yeah. While the world is ending, he's trying to get late. Wouldn't you? No. This could be our last night on earth, baby. You know what I mean? It's like a lame pickup line. Right.

But no. I would just be flaccid. I'm sorry. I can't deal with that. I can't deal with that. That's your stand-up special flaccid at the apocalypse. And it's just like you click on Netflix box and it's just cabin like

sorry I kind of agree with you like the existential crisis arisen by this film will not necessarily arise your dick right like you know what I mean like no or will it the other the other option is people like people peeing in cars people like fucking during the apocalypse and I also want the end of the world

it's doing it for me So, you know, sometimes when we watch these movies, like we just kind of take some quick notes and stuff, just to remember where we are. I don't know what this note means, and maybe you gentlemen can help me crack this mystery, because right now, on my list of notes, I just have something that says Spider-Man Dildos.

Oh, right, yes. I know exactly what you're talking about. Okay, go ahead. Frankie Faison drives a truck called, what is it? Happy toys? What is he? And it said, like, giving loads of joy? Another load of joy.

And that's the one that looks at the Green Goblin. So Chris had posited that it was filled with Spider-Man-themed dildos. You got your stuff. Check that one right off. That makes perfect sense. You know, Mysterio vibrators, they go big. They go big when you go home. Here comes the rhino.

Listen, people. Oh, my God. You're going to want these dildos when you're flaccid at the apocalypse. Buy now. I would be looting them. I'd be taking them and ready to go. How many do you need? 20.

Okay. The hobgoblin dildo is just redundant of the green goblin dildo. It's just like, why do you need two of the same kind? Do you think the green? Oh, it's color preff, got it. Do you think, like, when you use the green goblin one, there's like a little voice box in it and it sounds like Willem DeVoe? Now you're talking, Spider-Man.

Ha-ha! Hey, it's dark in here. Yeah. That's awful. I'm sorry. Yeah. Did that turn anyone on? I need batteries. I need batteries. Oh, dude, yeah, when he's running low?

You have your parents over, and you're just trying to like, your drawer starts yelling at you. Dear, what is that? I need batteries. Have you kidnapped Willem Defoe, honey? Avenge me! but the scorpion's not a big seller though no no no no not a big seller

you know what's pretty cool in this movie man pat hingle uses a bazooka multiple times yeah yeah with one hand by the way one-handed bazooka is this the only movie pat hingle shoots a bazooka a checking for Batman no no I think we're good that's the only movie is he in Bonnie and Clyde did they have bazooks in that

I think that's pre-Bazooka. I don't know for sure, but yes, it is. Maybe the TV series? Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. TV series? Yeah. What? Yeah.

We got like six seasons in a movie on that? We already got the movie down. No, it had like three episodes. It was canceled. They die at the end of every single episode. I would watch that. I totally watch that. Yeah, so, like, you know, we're just sort of like sitting around while these cars just kind of circle without a plan.

And we're just like, all right, I guess we live at this gas station. Oh, one lady gets cut by a knife, an electric knife, which is exciting. Oh, it's one of those, like, if you're bad at carving a turkey, like an electric carving kind of a thing. And that's pretty funny. Well, she also goes mad because of, you know, we made all the cars. Oh, yes. So she takes it upon herself to start screaming, we made you! Listen, man, here's the deal.

That's my mom at Christmas every fucking year, dude. It's just like, lady. Yeah, I got it. You're like, I already got this Batman figure. We made you! And I bought you this and we made you. That's uncomfortable. I don't know.

It's kind of like stolen valor in a way because it's like she wasn't on the assembly line. Yeah. We collectively as human beings. Right, right. Well, here's the thing, though. If cars come to life and one of them as big as it is with the Green Goblin face on and whatnot,

If I don't have the whole story about what's going on, first of all, right? I'm not just going to go up and talk shit. Yeah. I'm going to hang back, try to form a plan. They say fuckface nonstop in this movie. It's a Stephen King fuckface script. Fuck face?

He loves useless profanity. Just like us. I would love if there is a Stanley cameo in this movie. What would the Green Goblin be in and all? You know what I mean? Where would you put him in? Like maybe a typewriter comes to like, and eats his fingers?

No! I need those. Or do I? Let me just take some of these notes from Kirby over here. Or... It's an old sports injury. His tinted glasses come to life

and go into his eyes and shit. I'm killed by my famous sunglasses. Well, this is inconsistent, but it's a Stephen King thing, so that works out. So I guess, like, Emilio Estevez has to be, like, the action hero here. Well, the woman, this lady who's a hitchhiker, who's, like, the romantic lead, has to, like, remind you. She, like, looks at him and he's like, you're the hero of this movie, right?

What? Yeah. And he's standing on six Apple Carts. He's like, yes, I am. I'm six foot one. And then she says some line of, like, you know, the whole world has gone kind of crazy ever since every machine went into. Exumum overjoyed. Yes.

If you have to squeeze in a titular line, I guess that's a good of place as any. Does anybody at the station know what that means? What does that mean? I don't know what that means. I know what overdrive means. Right. But that's like extra extra extra. Extra super overdrive.

Sure. Any car people here? Jay Leno. Are there any sentient cars out there? The show was sold out. I'm sorry. We couldn't get in, Sam, Whitwick. Oh shit, the roads are closed on 6th Street

Local jokes We made you But yeah, they have sex in the middle of it And the weirdest and most gross thing that Emilio Estabez does Like Emilio Estabez has sexual intercourse With this hitchhiker we were talking about And we're just like canoe We're all on the same page

We're canoodling and he starts like Grabbing the sweat off of her head Yes And eating it and the only thing to make that worse is after he consumes her sweat he just goes what happened

he just says fucking laughing he's had a psychotic break the world's ending I don't know it's just weird it seems like it should be in a different movie this killer truck movie yeah exactly and I mean like

there's just a bunch of like we're going back and forth through access tunnels there's a guy who gets punted, a Bible salesman gets punted into a ditch and turns into a zombie for some sort of kind of reason? I think that's how he was going to scare the hell out of you. Secret zombie. Well, the scariest part for me, there is just a random shot of an airplane

and it's flying on its own. Yeah. You know, show me all the 9-11s. I know they are happening. There are non-stop 9-11. The finger thing means the money. Because even that one plane, when you see what happened to it at the end of the movie, we don't see it crash.

It's just stuck through a school bus. What a ghouish image that is. You got to get Stephen out of the bathroom to be able to film that thing. Like, Stephen, we got the guy. We got the plane guy. He's leaving in five hours. Go away! I'm with my real friends.

Yeah. So there's like this rescue mission. that's launched to save this Bible salesman that everybody hated, first of all. He starts screaming and they're like, who's that? They're like, oh, it's that Bible salesman we hate. And everyone is like, all right, this is a level five. We have to save this dude who we all hate.

No, he's in heaven now. Yeah, exactly. That's what I say about anyone who's in danger during the apocalypse. They're going to happen. It's fine. Eventually those screams will dissipate, right? You know what I mean? You just kind of wait it out.

Well, it takes them so fucking long to curl through the tunnel to get them. He dies along the way. Start cranking the ACDC. It's just like, yeah. Who made you? Who made who? Help me, please.

Up. Hang on after the solo. Yeah. Wait, so that ACD songs, Who Made Who? Yes. Wait, does ACDC think Cars made man? Yeah.

No, I think here's the thing. Wait, wait, the Transformers movies, they predated man, right? Yeah. The Transformers came here first. the AllSpark. Yes. So maybe

this definitely takes place in the Transformers first. So do you think ACDC knows something we don't? I think that's absolutely correct, yeah.

Okay. Checks out. So there's a couple of like tough vehicles that enter the picture. Right? So we have a bulldozer and then like

this little car with like a huge gun on it which is my favorite character because he's like yeah I might be a little car but I got a huge gun on top of me. What purpose does

this car happens? It's like a flat bed, no defense at all and a giant gun on top it just wheels and a gun. I think it's for like super quick mass executions, right? You just speed by a huge line of people just chung chug chung chung chung

yeah, it's for that and for recreation. Right, you know. You need to go to the beach? Yeah, exactly. Take your gun car. Don't punish the gun car hunters those 19 year old gun car hunters. And these cars, it turns out they have a set of demands. Well, they start doing Morse Code, right?

Yes, that's right. Who taught them this? You know what? I don't know. And I think nobody knows. Not even the person who wrote and directed it. That's what's scary about it. If they made us, they must have made Morse Code. So there you go.

Oh, that stands to reason. Yes. So the end of this movie is basically the, The trucks are like, all right, here's the deal. We need you, the humans, who we've been killing this whole time, to fill us all up. This movie is just these trucks want gas. The end result, like the end of this mission,

I don't really know what's going on. I don't know what these trucks have in store. The climax of this movie is everyone being tired after pumping so much gas. Yes, which is, there's so much, like, whew. And this one, like, Emilio Estimves, there's a shot of his hand. and there's like blisters all over it.

You're just pumping gas. You ever see, oh man, you ever see Psycho when that guy goes down the stairs or maximum overdrive when they're tired after pumping gas? That scene when fucking Johnny Depp goes inside the bed and blood pops out or that scene

where everyone's a bit pooped after pumping quite a bit of gas. You know, a hard day's work is scary to me. It makes sense. so there's like this we kind of we go to an island is the idea

we're going to go to a boat that's the plan yeah we never quite it would be nice to see that no

I think they just ran out of money why trust a boat I would never trust a boat why any particular reason I don't know it's a simple machine

it's kind of spooky Natalie Wood I'm a boat now no I promise I won't say anything. We don't know, man.

We don't know. Robert Vaughn or whatever, Wagner. Robert Wagner, yeah. He might be innocent. Robert Vaughn's down in hell. Like, I had nothing to do with that one. Cisca! Why is he in hell?

Why not? All right, sure. You don't know for sure. Investigate the boat. Didn't he work on a Superman movie? Doesn't that just get you straight to hell? Yeah. It's a bad one.

No one from that first movie went to hell. So, yeah, Emilio Estabez finally used the bazooka to kill the head car, which is the car with the head on it. Yeah. Yeah, and its eyes light up red for some reason. And he says, Adios, motherfucker, which is pretty something.

Pretty something. Yeah. A line fit for, like, a Stallone or a Schwarzenegger goes to Emilio Estabas. Okay. Checks out. They get on this boat. and then there's another paragraph.

Another paragraph of text that makes no sense. It's a poochie died on his way to his home planet. Is the end of it. Pucci's film production ran out of money and now this is the end of the movie. But we're talking about a Soviet satellite

killing a UFO or something? There was a UFO and I wasn't made aware of this? Dude, you cannot have a secret UFOing, man. That is upfront information. Did the aliens make everything go crazy or did the comet? Or wait, I don't know.

what's going. The question of our time, Eric. Maybe why you were going to get the hell. Who made who? I think why you were going to get the hell scared out of you is because it's an ambiguous ending. I let people make their own conclusions. But this is why...

Where are you? Where is the person making the conclusions? Heaven's Gate loved this, obviously, because they wanted to go to a UFO when the hellbop. Oh, I see. The hail bob. Hail bob. Hail bob. Hail bob.

came by and this movie there was a UFO following a comet it makes sense oh I see what you're saying I would kill myself if this happened and so credits

that's maximum overdrive that's how they ended it that's how they decided to end it so we got to get going but really quickly we want to thank all y'all for coming out here thank you everybody thank you so much to HeadGum

for having us us. Check out that merch table. Black, Black Man Can't Jump one more time. Thank you very much

to those guys. Now we want to just leave you with a quick bit of internet correspondence really fast. Right? The old

IMDB user reviews. 10 out of 10 stars a great B movie from TJ17. This film is a B movie. And you have to keep that in mind when you watch it.

Oh no, it's a B movie. Oh no, the truck came to live. also it is one of the best B movies no mine's the best with Stephen King's popularity and financial situation wait what does that mean TJ knows something we don't

this film could have had an almost unlimited budget also anyone could have directed this but he chose to do it on purpose what you see is the way he intended the film to look like cheesy more funny than actually scary Lots of fake-looking blood. It's true. You kill what you love. I like that Stephen King was like, no, no, it's got to be cheaper.

Make it look shittier. I have an unlimited budget for some reason. Look, here's... Because of my financial situation, of course. Here's some cardboard. Make the trucks from these. I'm embezzling through my nose. This is my favorite line, ready? It's destined to be a cult classic.

When was this written? October 24th, 2003. Well, I mean, it's either a cult classic by now or it's not. Some movies take a little bit longer to get there, man. Okay, all right. It was intended to be that way. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the DVD did not have more special features.

We are We Hate Movies from New York City. Thank you so much for coming out awesome. Thank you, everybody. Bye-bye. That was a hate gum podcast.
