Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're gonna treat. Hello, Andrew.

No one booted me. Haha. Feels good. Well, you get enough of that at home. Zing! Mailed it. Boom! Daily! Boom!

I'm gonna treat you. I'm gonna treat you. I'm gonna treat you. I'm gonna treat you. Hello, Andrew. No one booted me. Haha. Feels good. Well, you get enough of that at home. Z good. Ha ha ha.

Well, you get enough of that at home. Zing! Mailed it. Boom! Daily Boom! That is true, my family hates me. Ha ha ha. Maximum Overdrive, the first and only movie directed by Stephen King.

Why? With a musical score by ACDC. So good. I love that. Yes. It's hard to hate a movie with ACDC. It's very hard to hate it. And by the way, they make a sort of a cameo in the ACDC

mobile. Oh, yeah. There's a van on the bridge in the opening scene. ACDC van. The ACDC mystery machine shows up. They're just Angus Young is just out solving mysteries. And it's schoolboy uniform. I never had seen this film.

I had seen The poster, which was a milieu estavez with a shotgun and like that Joker mask. And I thought this movie was something different than as then this stupid, stupid thing was. What did you think it was gonna be? Yeah, what did you think? I thought it was a killer truck. Like I thought it was like... Chris, that was not a bit stupid truck. It is, but it isn't, too.

Wait, Christine. Christine is a Stephen King story, right? Yes. And that's about a killer truck. So do you think he made that? He wrote that rather. It got made. And then he was like, you know what?

Not enough trucks in this movie. I got to, it's like pretty in pink. And then some kind of wonderful. I have to say about cars that come to life. Yeah. And I feel like I did it wrong. I could do a better version of it. Because I could also have planes come to life. Yeah, and I feel like I did it wrong. I could do a better version of it, because I could also have planes come to life

and sprinklers. Well, I will say that that's my big question to lead off this conversation. Yes. There seems to be a slight problem in what is coming to life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Certain machines come to life. Certain cars come to life. But not all cars come to life. Here's what's interesting. Why does the car, now are we to presume that things that can only be controlled are things that are empty? Because any car that someone is driving isn't taken over.

Like when Yardley Smith and her husband are driving, that car is never taken over. But there are a lot of other cars we see along the way. At the end, we see a woman's been killed in her car. By the window, you assume. Yeah. And no spoiler here, but I feel like, because I guess, well, I mean, I don't know if I should bring this up the ending now, but they escape on a boat.

On a motor boat. Right. Which is a machine. It's a machine. And that's their whole plan. All we gotta do is get to a boat. Right. So it seems to me that the movie doesn't quite understand

what is coming alive because I'd argue a sprinkler is not a machine. Well, here's the thing. Like, I agree, a sprinkler is not a machine. Well, that way, what is that? Because the sprinkler, there's no electricity to turn on a sprinkler. Yeah.

That's not the requirement of a machine. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you booing? Do you think sprinklers are electric? They understand machines predate electricity. Hey! No, because here's the thing, like cars are controlled, right? Okay?

Law and Moors control. Make sense. So it seems like anything that may have been made as a motor. Anything that may be a motor. Hair drives? Just soda machines? What did the hair dryer do?

I think it strangled her. The electric knife? The electric knife that like cuts the waitress. That was a bicycle. That waitress, not a machine. Yeah, bicycle, not a machine. My apartment, it just got a machine. Yeah, bicycle, not a machine. Am I a bicycle? Am I a bicycle's a machine?

Well, I guess that's the thing. Are we talking about things that have a microchip in them? A gun? A gun. A gun is apparently machine enough to be controlled. You're right. No, that gun was being controlled by the machine that was that vehicle.

That's what I'm saying. Wow, wait a minute. That gun wasn't being controlled by the machine that was that vehicle. Wait a minute. That gun wasn't being controlled on its own. So you think if that machine gun had just been setting on the ground thing? There's an arsenal under Dixie land, and nothing happens to those guns. True, true. Well, here's the other thing.

Just again, dude, can you talk about how I could do this for one hour. Yeah, conservatively. How do you come down to is filling the blank a machine? Well, because my- No, looking up the word machine. Go ahead. My issue was how do these things see?

Because we imagine they're just running because they're seeing it out of like, I guess my issue is, at one point, the truck shoots its rear view mirror back to kind of like spy. As if the driver needs to see. Exactly. But there is no driver. Right.

So I think I do think I know the answer. I feel like we're being a little like, you know, pedantic about like what is Bob? I think the answer. I feel like we're being a little like, you know, pedantic about like, what is Bob? I think the answer is very obviously clear. It's cocaine. Now, I remember cocaine a machine. Cocaine will make you work like a machine.

Yeah. The cocaine is not a myth. It's not a theory. It is a fact. Stephen King has come out and said, I was on so much cocaine during this film that I don't remember directing it. So that is nothing to debate.

What's great about this movie is that the machines, it begins with the bank sign saying fuck you Yes, and the ATM calling someone an asshole like someone in Someone is Stephen King. Yeah, and his hitch-cocke in cameo Yep, he was like people are gonna wonder if I'm gonna turn up in this movie I'm gonna take him out of their suspense right away. I'm doing the first minute of the movie. I'll be the cold open But can I say, Bade in on me.

I'm Stephen King. Stephen King statement about cocaine is not fair to cocaine. Ha ha ha. And cocaine abusers. Ha ha ha. You could make a decent movie on cocaine. Oh, many of people did. Oh, it just, all of the 70, and just all of the 70s.

Just ask all of the 70s. I think Heaven's Gate might argue with you. That's the point of which too much cocaine. Yes. It's a crazy movie for many reasons. And for those of you who don't know and have not seen the film, it really takes, it's like a one act play or it could be done on stage. You could do this play on stage to a certain extent.

This is a great idea. That's what we're going to do. Oh! Oh! Playing the part of the waitress, June. Newlywester Vaz, Gurdalei. Who am I? Boba.

Jason Manzucas. Oh, yeah. That's the role. And Curtis by Paul Sheer. Let's just start off with the idea of, I really want to get into the opening and closing titles. We'll take the opening one first. Oh good. The opening text. The movie opens with this title. It says, on June 17th, 1987 at 9.47 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Already, way too much information. The earth passed into the extraordinarily diffuse tale of Rhea M. A rogue comet. According to

astronomical calculations, the planet would remain in the tale of the comet for the next eight days, five hours, 29 minutes, and 23 seconds. That is the only title card. Yeah If only this level of specificity had been brought to some of the other aspects of the film That is That's how we start the movie And I wish I immediately was like I'm in I'm in I get where we're at. You had me at Extraordinary diffuse. Finally. Finally, somebody is making a movie about Rhea M.

You guys know Rhea M. First name, Daya. Daya Rhea. Come on. I would say, here's the other thing too. Stephen King has often been, his films have been made, or his books have been made into films, mini-series. I've been enjoying June Living at Tyria. I really got you. It really did

June is not one to laugh at body humor and Is this also the work of the comic? Stephen King's books have been translated into many series movies and people, it's not as good as the book. It's not as good as the book, but there's a title card here that says interpreted for screen and directed by Stephen King. This is him going, oh yeah, I can make this and it doesn't make any, it doesn't make any sense. No, this movie is, no, I mean like it's the same, it's interestingly it's the same setup

as the mist. Yes, exactly. Right. It's a, right? Basically. Except, it's, it's, I feel like, and Stephen King is guilty of this in a great way of being like, oh, here's my movie about sentient cars.

Oh, wait a minute, sorry. Here is my movie about sentient cars. Right. And then, oh, wait. Here's my movie about people trapped in a grocery store, a rest stop, but no, no, no, I'm sorry. Here is my movie about people.

It's a really, he's always honing an idea, but he's putting his first draft out there. And then it's like, oh wait, I'm going to do that same exact thing, but I'm going to do it a little bit different over here. He's not like Harper Lee. We don't got to wait 50 years for the first draft. Finally though, a good Harper Lee book. I like the dad so much more. So at the end of the day, though, are we to believe that all of this trouble was caused by this gravitational pull? Well, I believe two explanations are actually offered. Please.

In the film. Yeah. One is that this is a random occurrence I have to do with a comment that happens to pass by us. Yeah. That seems to be the theory for the first three quarters of the film. Yeah. Then we get a new theory, which is that this is all the design of an alien race that is using

our machines to destroy us so they can come and take over our planet. But I will add that that theory was given to us by a man who has just exhausted his no knowledge. It's almost like just the babbling of a tired, overworked person. It's so basic and real.'s the Bible. It's the Bible, it's the Bible. Indeed, and we should absolutely dismiss it until the ending title card, when we're told that it's correct.

LAUGHTER Well, I really did. I was on board for, and by the way, this movie is awesome. I was fully on board for, okay, comment makes machines, start, go, whatever. Active funny. The minute, the minute the machine with a gun

started doing Morse code, I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don't do this, we don't, there is no like logic to this, this is just chaos. Well, I mean, again, I have my big issue with the film, and there are many, is that for whatever reason, there must be millions of gas stations in the country in the world where these machines are all coming alive.

Like, just all of them congregate at this one gas station and seem to just drive in a circle, nonstop. I don't know. I couldn't understand why they just didn't do what they do at the end, all drive into the truck shop. Yeah, I, I, I, I mean, that was it. Well, that was it. You guys get it.

Oh, yeah, wait. Oh, good. That was explained at one point. I had that question for a while, but Emilio S. Vesna at some point goes, see, these are the big boys. They can't drive in here because then they would crash through the floor. That's the reason the 18 wheelers can't drive through the ceiling, because they would crash through the floor. But how do they even know about the floor?

What? They can't. You don't think these 18 wheelers have some rudimentary understanding of the architectures of gas station? Well, they're not Optimus Prime. It's not like a bunch of Optimus Primes are out there. We're ready to drive around like an 18-wheeler and then turn into like a really smart heroic robot with a heart of gold.

Yeah. No, these are just trucks that are moving. That like I feel like in an effort to make them seem more menacing, they inexplicably put a face on one. That I was just put a Green goblin's face on one. Who cares? That I was expecting that face to move.

It does not. No, the eyes glow red, though. I guess. I think Stephen King might have thought it was moving. Again, unfortunately, I think any question we come up with about this movie ends with the answer cocaine. I will say that, I hope you guys have been enjoying our, how did this get made,

how did this get made, that Blake Harris has been writing their available on SlashFilm. He has done another one for this that is mind blowing. To the point of people were blinded on this movie, people were- When they this movie, people were- When they got gasoline in their eyes? Um. I'm compact and school.

By the way, I know we're jumping ahead, but the pumping of the gasoline and the way it exhausted everyone. Oh. Honestly, I had to think to myself, I had to walk myself through it and think, okay, I've pumped gas in my car a number of times. It's not more exhausting to pump gas into like an 18-wheeler.

You're just, I guess you're standing there for a longer time. Wait, but the Pumpean gasoline, I've switched on it like the switch that holds down the pump. I mean, you would imagine. Ameelio estimates his hands are shredded by pumping gasoline for one day. What's going on? Why is it so difficult? And it looks like they're switching off. Yeah, it looks like there is a replacement in there.

He's delirious from Pumping Gas on a somewhat hot day. Undershade. Undergap. That is a problem. I'm going to play the pumping gas montage here. I'll stop it midway, but you'll get the idea. You better hit your bastard. Better hear some fucking ACDC.

Tell all your friends and meelines open. We getting the Saturday? Yeah. It's like I'm the best shit on these coves. Practically uncut. You got that fuck face? By the way, Emilio is talking to a truck. The best acting partner he has in this room.

What's wild is that's literally the green gong. Yes. And then proceeds the fueling montage. ACDC comes on. Church bells are being explained. Why did ACDC? Are they a machine? It could be a very long day.

And it's just shots of that even the epic version. That's the damage. And they keep going back to the shot of the numbers going up like Price and Gallon. They're not paying for gas. These truckers, they're not truckers, these are, they're not paying for any of this. Oh, I can't just give a truck of the middle finger. For murdering his father. And they have to tell the dumb trucks to keep bongo and they'll get out of here, you're full.

The truck should know that also, right? The truck oughta know it should know that also, right? The truck all to know, it's full. Yeah, right? The truck comes, the machine gun Jeep comes and says, give us all gas. Someone come out and put gas in us. I know we've been driving around in circles for a couple of days and it's our own fault we ran out of gas,

but, but come put gas in us, please. We won't hurt you. I go back to that thing, these trucks just circle this gas station for no purpose. It's this purpose. Okay, listen, this one's gonna happen. Okay, here's what's gonna happen. The truck's gonna come around. Truck's going around in circles, right?

Going around in circles. Truck's gonna go around in circles. Hey, I'm gonna go back after him. I'm gonna come back out. we're gonna figure this out. Okay, here's what's gonna happen. Truck's gonna face on it, okay, here we go. Uh, uh, that's what's going on. There, one of the people who was blinded in one eye from this movie. One of the, there was a few injuries, but the guy who was blinded in one eye from this movie.

One of them. There was a few injuries, but the guy who was blinded, Stephen King insisted on putting real Alonmour blades in Alonmour. And the director photography said, well, we don't need that because you don't see the blades, you're just going to be seeing the Alonmour. And he's like, I don't care. Put real blades in it. And then the blades picked up something

and shot trapped on it to some guy's eye. What you see. Worth it? Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it.

Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Worth for an undisclosed amount. $18 million. Wow. Can I just say, fuckface there, reminding me. I had John it down a few of the better insults from this movie. Yes. Oh, yeah.

Including, Pussbag. Yep. Somebody was called a Pussbag. Somebody was called a low-down scumball. And this one, I don't know if I wrote it down right because it seems so improbable, but I believe someone is at some point told, get outta here, you happy asshole. Okay, I just wanna say, someone is called a pus bag,

but that entire sentence is, oh, you wanna rock and roll with me, plus bag? I would like pause. Roindrops. Right? Like, there are wild things. I mean, the weight of all of the waitresses dialogue is straight up crazo.

Yeah. I mean. The waitress, the waitress in this movie is... We made you! We made you wear your sense of loyalty! Don't you understand? Well, I think we have to play that. Yeah, I need to watch this five times in a row.

This performance is... It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. This deserves an Academy Award for hair alone. Why do we have that boast days with her the entire journey? Yes, until her death spoilers for this movie. Just if you don't remember, this is the waitress that was attacked by a cutlery, an electric

cutter. A big deal wouldn't happen, but not so much later. It got her arm, it got her arm, and then cut her in the foot. Yes. The shot of the knife running towards her white sneakers, it's like, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh,

and like a toy on the ground. All right, here we go. They can. They can. Now look, honey, him to hurt yourself. Now come on sweet thing. Don't you sweet thing me. Now I want it you baby.

Stop. Hey hey. We made him. You can't. We made you. We made him. Stop. I will see you.

You can't. We made you. We made you. We made you. Stop. I will see you. You can't. We made you! We did some loyal thing you, the UK thing! We made you! We made you! Oh, we made you!

We made you! I can't stop making you! We made you! We made you! I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop It does seem like every each one of our main characters reaches their breaking point with these machines They all seem to at some point just like get fed up With the situation and this is this is her point, you know, this is Stephen King's This is Stephen King's criticism of the industrial revolution Well, it's interesting because a part of me was like, did she make that? I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. There is not a single person here that is likable. And like, Emilio, I guess, is the most likable. He doesn't have much to say in this film. No, you would think he is like the star of the film. It's arguable. It really is.

I think the movie belongs to his boss. That's really the guy. Oh, that guy was amazing. He's more like. It really is. I think the movie belongs to his boss. That's really the guy. Oh, that guy was amazing. He's a bubble, yeah. Oh, see, to me, I feel like it's Little Boy. Yeah. Oh, he's the story of that little boy because he does so much with saying so little.

Well, performance is fantastic. That scene, a very memorable scene after he finds out his father's stud, the next time we see him, he's sitting in a booth for Lordly blowing bubbles. Yeah. What else does a little boy do to process pain? By the way, this truck stop, I am fascinated by truck stops in general. And so I was excited to see a movie that took place mostly in a truck stop. But there are so many truckers in this movie.

I think one of the bigger problems with the movie is there's too many people. I think if they lost like four, there are. If they lost four of those guys, I can't tell one from the other. They all look exactly the same to me. They don't have any characteristics that are defining. If they lost four of them,

it would be a much better movie. Well, when the machine gun shows up, a number of truckers are... And I think it's happening. Well, yes. That's like, it should be more like an agatha Christie, like, you know, 10 little Indians or something like that, where it's like, oh, one gets killed off at a time.

But no, they just like, they get to about 20 minutes before the end of the movie, like, oh, this is kill, like 75% of the cast. Like, bra, bra, bra, bra, bra, bra, done. But then there's one shot where they're all running away and aligned during the escape scene, and I was like, there have been that many people in there. There's a lot of people.

Oh, there was more than that many people. Yeah, a lot of them were killed. The one thing too about, again, machines, going back to machines, not the harp on machines, they get to like a takeout, like a McDonald's, like takeout, like a, where you would order and be like, hey, can I get a fries and burger, whatever, like they get to that, and when they get to that at one point,

the machine goes, human alert, human alert. But those things don't have voices in them. The voices of the human being amplified through it. Like, that's not a, like, it's not like. I think you think it's too hard about this ball. Again, co-human alert. Co-human alert. And it's not okay.

But also, who's hearing that message? It's not all that loud. Yeah. Probably be heard by about 10 other machines. But also interesting to me that it's not clear whether the people in the gas station are perhaps the last humans alive on Earth or just in Wilmington, North Carolina. Yeah. But also that in this world, the only thing that humans that that the machines cannot do is Pump their own gas other than that they could do everything else

Well everything else is just running down humans Because by the way, they're always running from these mac trucks. Just make a left make a right just like stay indoors Just make a left through a right you can't turn you can't hard turn a 16-wheeler It's not like that's not like the most like it's not like it's being chased by down by a segue Like there's no turning radius like the watch a 16-wheeler I'm a Stephen King is like Segway Sentience segway

My second- Dirtorial debut. But that's the thing that's always so funny. He's like, they are caught by these seemingly slow movies, bulky vehicles. Well, that's the thing, like, even when the kid is like, he wants to sneak in to the truck stop and he's like trying to figure out can I get in through the sewer or whatever, the trucks are just doing this. Run around that.

You can run through, it's like Frogger. Yeah, but like a million times easier because they're big giant trucks. Well, do we want to just talk about the newlywig couple? Oh. Oh. Yes. Forever. Oh. Yes. Forever. Forever.

That guy, I was like, oh, that's Judge Reinhold. And I put it up and he wasn't, and I don't accept that. Yes. No, he's definitely not quite Judge Reinhold. Curtis. He's somewhere between. And Connie. He's somewhere between Judge Rein Hold and Austin Pendleton.

Oh, yeah. Now, Year at least Smith plays the woman. She is the voice of Bart, right? Bart Simpson. Lisa. Oh, really? Yes. I thought it was Bart too.

Oh, Nancy Cartwright, sorry. What's the difference? Oh, shocking that this podcast audience knows the voice challenge on the Simpsons. We get it. They're going into a Simpsons live podcast after this. She is fair to say is playing the Madeline Con role. Oh, yes. She, by the way, I will talk about these.

This is a freaky, weird couple. She seems maybe 15. But she seems quite young. They look related. They look on first glance. They look like they could be brother and sister. They also, one of the first things that he says to her is, can I watch you piss?

Or some extent of that. She's like, I gotta go to the bathroom. He's like, can I watch? Well, they're married now, so. He can indulge in all of his weird fetishes. And then when they're at the diner, they seem to, are they, are they fingering? Is he fingering her?

I don't know. Why is she laughing like that? Because she's laughing hysterically. Oh wait, that's what happens when I finger girls. I was right there. I think Yardley might have been saying, I'm making the choice that you're tickling me and he was like, oh no.

I'm gonna make it clear that I'm not. There are creepy couple and I was okay if either of them died. I did not like them as a couple at all. You didn't think they would be a good match for each other? I mean, look, I believe in those kids. I feel like they got a good relationship. They got it going on.

She could have quickly shrewished, right? Well, she's not going to die on my wedding day. She screams all the reliably. She screams all the reliably. Well, he's a brave sort, they're not above, you know, when trucks are circling them. By the way, no one is above taking shits, getting fingered, fucking, eating off each other's faces.

So that's so weird about this movie. Is the energy after this happens? The energy, the vibe is like, well, yeah. Emilia is too bad. It's so strange. Energy, the vibe is like, well, yeah. LAUGHTER Emilia was at the best. It's so strange, nobody is shocked by this. People are mowed down with a machine gun, and Emilia was at the best, just cracking jokes, man.

He's just cracking jokes. He walks through like sewage. Gets raw sewage on his face. I don't ever see him take a shower. Or a fecal contact would have him throwing up for the rest of the movie. Can you explain to me why any of that happened? Why they went into the sewer?

Why did they go into the sewer? I think they were trying to get to the Bible sales. They were trying to save the Bible salesmen. Why did they go into the sewer? Why? Why did they just run through the trucks? They just run through the trucks and get them in the ditch. Well, again, we don't know that.

Because not a, part of the reason I'm asking that is to get to the place where they then got to the sewer, they had to run past the trucks. And that's true. That's true, they should, that's true. That's true. They had to invade trucks to get to an underground passage

so that they could invade trucks. To reach a guy who was alive. A rapist. Then suddenly dead. Yeah. And that guy was kind of a dick. He was a little boy. If you don't pull me, I will kill you.

And then a bribe- He dies, man. He just then just abruptly passed away. Yeah. Oh, by the way, I just looked at something here. A walkman killed somebody. And the death montage, the ACDZ, death montage, the kids, this kid's just driving down the street

on his bike and looking at the way people got killed. And one guy is just wearing a walkman. And it blood is like coming out of his ear. Yeah, apparently, that's by washing. Yeah, that's ACDZ, the only music they can do that's. So why was there an arsenal underneath this truck stop? Great question. If I...

I'm telling you, if I owned a gas station and owned a tremendous arsenal of weapons, the gas station is not where I would keep them. Right. Yeah. No, if I've got like tons and tons of gas, I also don't want a bazooka nearby. And I wrote down this.

Isn't a bazooka a machine? Yeah. Here we go. Like, that bazooka should have been misfired. No, because guns are not powered by electricity. Oh, here we go. But either are sprinklers. But wait, wait, wait.

You're gonna think you're about the sprinklers, you guys. I think we need to let go of them. I think that was just an odd thing that happened. I'm not, I can't find that in the rules of this movie. Because it was just going up, because they're watering their lawns. Yeah. Okay, yeah.

But I think that sprinkler event was just like a fluke. It was just meant to... It was not a fluke. It was misdirected. When the not a fluke. It was a mystery. Because when the kid turned around, they all turned off. Like as if to be like, he's looking. LAUGHTER Like I couldn't understand the, um, what senses the machine hive mind had.

You know what I mean? Right. I couldn't tell if they were... It seemed to be able to hear? It seemed to be able to see, because they're like, well, how are we gonna pump gas? We don't even have power, lights on. You know, power up.

So like, I feel like it was arbitrary, what it could do and what it couldn't. Again, that would mean that a machine was in the circuit breakers, that was an alien, because it wasn't like a truck went over to a circuit breaker. I was like, again, we don't know what's the machine. Everything is a machine.

Well, I think you have, here's the way, I think you have to imagine it. If we go with the idea that aliens are behind all of this, at the same time, there is this gravitational pull because of RIA M. So, I- Daya. Daya Ria B M. So I think what the aliens are doing is somehow turning these machines on and off with gravity. We're listening. Okay.

Okay. We're listening. OK. OK. The aliens can hear, and they can see. OK. OK, but they are not here with us on Earth. OK. So are you picturing what? So in terms of the sort of conscious hive, I don't know where that exists.

I don't know where that is. But I think how they're doing this is through the sort of conscious hive, I don't know where that exists. I don't know where that is. But I think how they're doing this is through the force of gravity. So you're saying that gravity, in addition to controlling all women's periods, is also, no, that's not gravity. That's not, that's whatever. I can't believe I just lost to everybody. You're in a very strong, uh.

Um, are we to understand, though, that they are using gravity to control the machines, to eradicate human beings, to ultimately populate our planet? I think so. Yeah. The machine, though, though, when they do, all of our machines will be dormant. Like, they're not represented by our machines, right? Like, these trucks aren't the embodiment

of this alien species. I don't think so. Well, that's a question because they seem to have a personality, right? Do all the machines share one personality? What? Do all the machines share one personality? What? Do all the machines share one personality? No, because I would say the sprinklers, no,

because I would say the sprinklers, if we're gonna call them machines now, they were more playful than the truck. Yeah. Seemed a little more easy breezy. But that electric knife was a real asshole. And the remote control car that killed that dog, jumping that dog's mouth.

That was great. Another movie where a dog is killed. That makes three for how did this get made? Dogs toss into water. But I like that. That's what I like that, Tambolo, because you know dogs chase after cars all the time. Little remote control cars.

This car got back. And I like that we don't see it., little remote control cars. This car got back. And I like that we don't see it. We just see the aftermath. The car said, fuck you. That was an effective moment for me. I feel like, by the way, this movie is gruesomely bloody and it's a movie where you see a...

What do you call it? Oh my gosh, the thing with a book, not bulldozer, but steam roller. You see a steam roller heading for a kid and you're like, well, the kid won't get hit by a steam roller. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, he will. They're not gonna follow up a guy getting hit in the nuts with a soda can by a child getting run over by a steam roller. No, they, oh, yes they are.

That guy's head gets caved in by a soda can. There was some grisly stuff in this movie. Oh, yes they are. Okay, well. That guy's head gets caved in by a soda can. There was some grisly stuff in this movie. Here is a thing about the movie. Stephen King has said many times the film was heavily cut to avoid an X rating from the MPAA. He claimed to have shown it to George Romero, and it made George Romero sick. .

. . . . An unconfirming of the film has never been released on any format in any country. Stephen King holds the original print of the uncut version and has not released it in any format.

I feel like I can handle it. It's like faces of death. Teenagers watching it, parties like you got to watch this man. What could that have been? Because George Romero has a famous sleaze, stomach of steel. Yes, very strong constitution. Can I ask you a question? So Emilio Estevez and the pretty hitchhiker girl fall in love.

The road twitch? Yes, the road twitch. And they have a post-coidal scene where I believe that he is licking the sweat off of her forehead. Off of her forehead? Off of her forehead? He's like putting his finger on her forehead and being like Like and I don't know what the what is going on

Is this the same where we get the titular line? Oh, no, no, we have the I think the titular line He's in when she puts the razor in her pants right or maybe I don't know In a boot and their boots Or maybe I don't know. In a boot. In a boot. But I will play both. Can you ever use that, Riser? What? Yeah, he uses it to cut, yardly, smith, out of receipt belt. OK. And this is, you know, this is the sexiest you can possibly get.

By the way, for a movie with a lot of violence, you don't see any fucking at all. Just tender post-coil-a-like love. I did notice that there was full frontal nudity on photos in the background on a wall. Oh, yeah. Which seemed like an obvious nudity. Oh, yeah, there is a lot of crotch,

like right above them on this bed, is like Playboy Centerfold's kind of thing. But you don't even see boobs in this. Let's take a look. Heart-breakingly. You sure make love like a hero. You sure make love like a hero, she said. What does what does that mean? They call them a hero a lot. They don't use tongues to kiss. Now he just touches her head

Licks her head guys what the fuck is that I Think it's what the fuck is that is They're cocaine on her forehead did he just do a line off of her head and is like, oh, you got some coke on your forehead? Well, in the very next scene, they seem to be eating cupcakes, and he's also looking that off her face too. There is some... Yes, man.

...so they were for sure fucking on this movie. Why not? Well, it's interesting, because when she first showed up in the car and was, you know, introduced as a drifter, I thought she was really interesting and I was curious where she was going to go and she had a very like, Annie Hall type look and I loved her costume. And then she arrived at Dixies and changed into a pink top and pulled her hair down and she was a completely different person. I watched this with my wife and she had a real issue with the wardrobe change to I was so upset about it. She was like where the hat go?

She's such a great outfit Our second line to Emilio Estevez who is conservatively four inches shorter than her, is... is... you're cute. Like, something catastrophic is going on. It's going on. You're cute.

By the way, there's like a green pile of goo, a cloud hanging over this state. A pile of what? A pile of goo cloud. A pile of gooby. Gooby. Nobody mentions it. The entire movie. No, no, she does. Oh no, no. She suggests that it's because of Ria M. Oh yeah, she has a lot of knowledge about this. She has a theory about the comments. She knows how long the

comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments are going to be around. She knows how long the comments's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around.

He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around.

He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around.

He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. He knows how long the comedy's gonna be around. road twitch and I could not find anything. Twitch road is a logging road but I thought like a road twitch is like a twitch is like a witch in a witch is kind of like a bitch so she's like a road bitch like she's like a hitchhiker or something I mean like that's what I thought. I don't know. You really did think about it dude. I did. I did. I did. I'll be honest I didn't at. You really did think about it, dude. I did, I did. Which, I'll be honest, I didn't at all. I was like, yeah, Road, can I say another thing about... She looks like a road twitch, totally nailed it.

A very minor thing I noted about word choice in this film. At some point, the evil boss says something like, why are you being so obtuse, boy? And I was like, oh, obtuse. And the only time I've ever heard that before was Shawshank Redemption. And then, and then a little while later, that character uses it again. And it was at that point that I went,

oh, Stephen King wrote Shawshank Redemption. This is a favorite word. Ha ha ha ha. Well, I also thought there's something interesting about that boss played by Pat Hingle. His name is Bubba Hendershot. He calls everyone else Bubba. Yes! And everyone else calls everybody else Bubba. So there's a lot of...

Alright Bubba, alright Bubba. Now let's hear Bubba, Bubba, Bubba. Everyone's calling you to the Bubba. That's confusing as a watcher of a film when everyone's called by the same name. Yeah. I agree. Not the best choice. Now people might have wondered how the movie got its name. Well, this is a scene that explains that. Mother's helper. He's looking at her razor.

A girl hitching her way down the floor that needs some protection. Yeah? That's what you're doing? Yeah. That's what I was doing before every machine in the world went into maximum overdrive. She starts crying. I'm scared. starts crying. That's scared. That's the kind of 180 performance that most actors can't pull off.

This is almost a forced perspective shot where she is twice as large as him. On screen she appears to be twice as big as her. It's the best lit scene in the movie I have to say. And I would. This is like a seventh grade boy dancing with an eighth grade girl. 7th grade boy dancing with an 8th grade girl. Oh. Oh. He hugs her and the next scene they are having sex.

By the way, the one thing that's not shown here is when we are introduced to her. She is looking at photos on the desk, but really taking it in like, who's this boy? But it's like that's not, I would be like me going to your house and looking at your photos. I have no emotional connection to that. But that's not it. I would be like me going to your house and looking at your photos. I have no emotional connection to that. But that does remind me. We are looking for people to allow us to come to their house and look at their photos.

So just contact us via Twitter. We want to come to your house and look through your photos. I did have a question about this. I can't remember if it's in my notes. This is based on a true story, right? Yep. Except in reality, it was called diarrhea. Oh.

Ripped from the headlines. Well, in reality, it was 8 to 8, 5 hours, 29 minutes, and 28 seconds. Yeah. Well, the other thing too about this movie is... The movie climaxes with them getting on this potent escaping. eight seconds. Yeah. Well, the other thing too about this movie is, the movie climaxes with them getting on this boat and escaping and the Joker truck, which is the only recognizable truck really,

shows up at the end, which Emilio then fires a grenade, a rocket launcher out and it blows it up. But that would mean something if that truck was overtly the meanest truck. Like if the truck, if that was, in my opinion, it would be like, let's have that place being taken over just by one truck, one giant Mac truck, and maybe the gun truck, and that's it.

And then the end would have some sort of closure because like, oh, he killed the bad guy. But then we were gonna miss that on that funny scene. We're all that toilet paper got blown up. Oh, you're right, yeah. Yeah. Ha ha, toilet paper. You fucking idiot.

By the way, in that scene, that the truck with the face on it snuck up on a guy. A max, a 16 wheeler. It snuck up on a guy. By the way, if he real quiet as a giant truck, got that pre-ass engine in it. By the way, when they do go inside that truck,

I guess the driver just has a jack in the box on the inside. That doesn't make any sense. Stephen, I just saw in the script, there's behind the driver of this 18-wheeler is a jack-in-the-box? Yeah. Yep. Why?

The toy company makes this famous jack-in-the-box. Sure. So he keep one back there where he sleeps. But it's like built into the structure normally where he sleeps, built into it, is a jack-in-the-box? And I want to build up a lot of suspense to pulling back the curtain,

but I want the curtain so sheer that we can see it. We can see it too far. Before he pulls it back. How am I doing, guys? How am I doing? Am I doing a good job directing? Yeah, I'm just doing it. Am I being a good director right now?

I know I disappeared for a week, but... But I got some big ideas since I got back. Which one is this? Is this Charlie Sheen or the other one? It's the other one? Okay, okay, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah to take a look at the final text here, which is, they escape on the boat, and it says, two days after, a large UFO was destroyed in space by a Russian, quote, with their satellite, which happened to be equipped with a laser cannon and class four nuclear missiles. Approximately six days later, the Earth passed beyond the tail of Rhea M exactly as predicted. The survivors of the Dixie boy are still survivors.

So wait a second. The events of this movie are only two days long. I guess. No. No. Because six days later, right? Wasn't it eight days total? Two days after.

Two days after. Two days after. Two days after. Oh boy, math. Okay. We are officially working harder on this than Stephen King did. Okay. You had a comment that would be there for eight days, five hours, 29 minutes.

So they escaped in six days later. So two days, this whole movie takes place over two days. Well, you're less than that, this movie. Because they're saying that two days after they got on the boat, the UFO, it's true. No, six days after they got on the boat. Two days after they got on the boat. Yes, the UFO happened.

And then six days after that, that's eight days. I think we're uncovering why he put the word approximately out there. Two days out where they got on the phone. Yes, the UFO happened. And then 60s after that, that's eight days. I think we're uncovering why he put the word approximately in there. LAUGHTER He was like, ah, fuck it, I don't know. Just say approximately. Time is good. Time is time. Time is time. Time passes. He was pretty specific with the time in the first card. Down to the seconds.

Well, again, I want to break this down bit by bit. Two days after, a large UFO was destroyed in space by a Russian weather satellite, in quotes, which happened to be a equip with a laser cannon in class four nuclear missiles. He's a sentent. So he's saying. This is a real cold-worship, Right, so he's saying that this weather satellite

is actually like a Star Wars-esque program. Like a web program. And it destroyed a UFO. Now is the UFO with aliens, and is they controlling the comic? How are you just now introducing a UFO in the closing title card? Or whatever they say. And in the same sentence, positing to us that there are Russian satellites equipped with nuclear weapons. Yes. That's a big part of the story.

Who's controlling that satellite? I would have liked to have seen the Russians in this movie. Well, it's a machine. So now... I don't know. Is this an insurrection amongst their own machines? Well, that's what I can't figure out. Is the UFO a part of this?

Is that a byproduct of this? Is this just a coincidence? And then it of this is it's just a coincidence. And then it's like a coincidence. Well, I don't think it was a coincidence. What's that? You think it's a coincidence? No, I don't. Oh.

What do you, I'm being serious. And I'm not trying to junior you. I'm just saying, what do you think happened here? Because I don't know. Are they saying that the weather satellite acted like these trucks and mistakenly killed their master? Or are we saying that the Russians hit a button and then did it?

Because I'm thinking that they killed its master. And but then it doesn't make sense because- Wait, you think the machines revolted against themselves? By accident. By accident. Up until they saw- Because they were controlling a weather satellite, but it was actually a Star Wars weapon,

and it killed the leaders. LAUGHTER No, that can't be true, because there's no way that the machines never started killing other machines. So that machine that weather satellite wouldn't just start shooting out of UFO, because the UFO would look like a machine. I'm sure this is all made clear in the uncut version.

Well then, so now that was the only, if that was the only part of the N-text, I'd be okay with it. What I'm confused by is the next part, which is approximately six days later, the earth passed beyond the tail of RIAM exactly as predicted. So is that what was responsible for it? Yes, now that's two different things we're talking about.

That seems to be saying that yes, the comments tail did this, but then the UFOs, now I'm inclined to believe the UFO was there coincidentally. And it was like, whoa, will you look at this shit? This shit's going crazy. Oh, what's that thing over there? Why don't we believe that the aliens aboard the UFO are controlling the comet. The aliens. Wow.

The aliens sent the comet knowing that the comet has the capacity to control the machine. That's what I saw. To allow them to control the machines. But then why is the UFO destroyed? But there is some sense of sentience. There's some sense of sentience amongst the machines. So there must be a higher power,

a god, or an intelligent design, or something, right? That is giving them more code. Let me try this out. The satellites. The Russian satellites? Yes. It's, being that it's perhaps Perhaps it is above where the comet went and so therefore it's immune to this machine business Okay, okay, it's not part of the gravitational pull go right

And the Russians are hunkered down in the Kremlin going what the fuck are we gonna do about this? They they figure out the problem. First. And they say, well, we got- So this is a pro-Russian movie. This is a movie in which the reds are heroes. What I'm saying is the KGB came to the rescue in this movie and used one of their quote unquote

weather satellites to shoot down the UFO. But, how would their equipment even work because the machines have controlled that equipment? Because it's above the ground. No, no, no, no. I don't know. You're saying they're machining the credit. They're communicating with the weather set.

That's what I'm saying. How are those working? Somebody just said about the science and the big Russian. I mean, this is really, these are, this is a degree of analysis that I am 100% certain has never been applied to this movie, even by the people that made it. And then finally, this last line, the survivors of the Dixie Bay are still survivors.

So they're immortal. So they- These events have made them immortal. They have survived everything. They're highlanders. So they lived on, but I guess what I'm unclear about is, so everything went back to normal after six days? Did they stay, I don't know.

Because what the second paragraph I bought the size is, is as if we were right, that's unclear. Then it wasn't like the aliens were gonna take over. It was just a six day, that's like a thing. By the way, as predicted by the first title card. There's no scientist in this movie. The only person that seems to know anything about the fucking comet is a road twitch. Which for-

Which mean scientists. Which for- Forgive me, but I'm not gonna trust a road twitch vis-à-vis astrophysics. Give me a Neil de Grasse Tyson. Not a road twitch. Although next season of Cosmos is hosted by a road twitch. And I'm your host, road twitch. Before we go into the crowd, I want to, the first question I want to ask the crowd. Is anyone read this short story that can help shed some light on this movie? I think you might have had some people with the first part of that question.

Did you read the story? You have. Can you explain anything that is left out? There's a hole in, I'm going to get a mic to you. There's left out. There's a hole in, I'm gonna get a mic to you. There's no comment. Yeah, there's no comment story. It just opens on this gas station and they're surrounded by trucks. There's no weapons they can fight back with. There is still the Morris code scene.

So why are the machines behaving this way? No explanation I mean spoilers for the short story. Oh hang on Don't fuck us don't fuck guy. I'm two pages in guy come on Wait, are you being serious? It's a three-page short story? It's very short. Stephen King's an asshole. This is one of Stephen King's best pamphlets. This is a bazooka-jow wrapper, all right?

So, yes, go ahead. It ends with the main character speculating that the factories are still going to keep producing new trucks, because you're thinking, oh, everything's going to rust and we'll finally be free. But then they'll start paying, paving over swamps, they'll pave over the ocean. Are they going to pay paradise and put up a parking lot?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, in the, well, that's amazing. And that version, how about, geez. In that version, the trucks don't need humans to pump gas, because they can make their own trucks and do everything. I'm gonna to give you...

There's still... There's the pumping gas thing. I'm going to give you this. I'm going to give you a big comic book. You can read that and enjoy it. Alright, let's get to some correct things that we might have missed. If you have a question, anything at all. Anybody have a question? All right, great.

Over here. Sir, your name, what you would have called this movie, and your question. Here we go. My name is Ryan. I would probably go with something along the lines of like, Skynet. OK. Are the shoes are fighting back? Sure.

Got it. Still from Terminator. Yeah. My question is, at the end of the movie, when they're leaving and the trucks go nuts and decide to finally drive in, which they should have done a long time ago, and they're blowing everything up, why is the bulldozer just repeatedly driving over

that one car? Is it really pissed off at that car? It's a slower machine. Is that, is that, no, no, yeah, why, yeah, why? Well, that's a good point. Why is it only driving over one? machine. No, no, yeah. What does your hate fact car? Why is it only driving over one? Why is it only have a vendetta on Bubba's car? They have an old beef.

And arguably Bubba's car is on their side. I think in the world of sentient cars, bulldozers are kind of dumb. Yeah. They're dumb and they hate kids. All right, sir, your name, your movie title, and your question go. All right, my name is Jordan. My movie title is Pork and Torque. Like it?

Like it a lot. And my question is, did you guys draw any correlations between tremors and this movie? No, how classic? Did you? Fuck yeah. Your question might as well have been, I'd like to talk about tremors. Tell us succinctly your issue.

My only issue is that Kevin Bacon's not playing the Amelio S.A.V.S. character. So it's the exact same movie with giant snakes. Yes. Worms, aren't they worms? You get a sticker for that? All right, there you go. Enjoy it. Yeah, there's similarities, but tremors was a good movie.

Yes, your name, your title for your movie, and your question. My name is Nick. I would call it pure uncut. Ooh, nice. Double meaning. My question. Nobody is circumcised in the movie. That's why I got the X rating. Yep. That's what Stephen Kingman, he's like,

I want all uncircumcized dogs in this movie. So we kind of assume, or at least I assume, from that end card that at some point, you know, do you have an interest? Was like, Steve, I love you, I love doing Coke with you. We can't shoot a UFO blown up. We can't do that. What else do you think they put the Khaibashon?

Because it seemed like with the goblin truck, it's like full of toys, and you're like, oh man, when those toys get out of that truck, crazy stuff would happen. So what else were they like, we can't do it Steve. Oh, that's interesting. What else do you get some stickers too? What else could they have done?

I mean, again, what's the machine? I don't know. They don't do much with that plane. That plane flew by the kid. What? No, it's a North West reference. Yes, it is a North West reference. We later saw a plane...

There was a plane sticking out of a truck. And it was one of those shots. It just passed by a plane sticking out of a truck. Out of a school bus and just linger down the shot for a real long time. Just like, fuck it, we spent all that money to put a guy down there and plane it up, school bus. I kind of disagree with our friend who just asked the question. I don't, I think everything he wanted is on screen.

I, I, I, it doesn't wreak of, it doesn't wreak of incompletion. It kind of feels like, yeah, I did it. A bitch, a, a bitch of he would have liked a few more squips. When people get killed in this movie, it is a ketchup explosion. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. I think the one thing he cut out, which he has said he cut out, was at the end, there was five minutes of Stephen King high-fiving everyone in the movie.

And just being like, we fucking did it. Fuck you. The credits, the credits are him just high five and everyone with their title underneath. That would've been amazing. Uh, yes. Your question, your name of the movie, or your name, your name of the movie, and your question.

My name's Jesse. My name of the movie is Medium Underdrive. And I just, at the beginning, we kind of see that Emilo S. is a criminal and so is everyone else who works there, but we don't know why. So that road twitch could be coming into a whole place of rapist for all we know. We have no idea.

Well, there are some people who have one star, which means they're in parole. There's two people, some people have two stars, which I don't know what that means. It's're in parole. There's two people, some people have two stars, which don't know what that means. It's their second parole. She's, well, keep in mind, the Bible salesman, this is a real Stephen King like fuck religion. The Bible salesman is a straight up molester.

Well, he really gets slammed by the road twitch when she goes, eat my shorts. Yep. And then that's, eat my shorts. Yep. And then that's a Simpsons connection. Yep. And Yardley Smith was like, hmm, eat my shorts. I'm going to tell that to Nancy Carter. I think two stars on your time card

means you're on parole and a military general. But do we ever find out why Emilio Estabas went to jail? No. Yeah, he was robbing a place. He was stealing bread like John Marathon. And I remember the police shined a light on him and he was like, and they make fun of him for being like an idiot robber. All right, I see somebody here in a mastodon shirt. I'm going to ask you, sir.

Your name, your title, and your question. My name's Adam. My title is Google Car of the movie. Love it. And speaking of your early Smith and her husband, baby Timothy Buzzfield, do you think that he kidnapped her? Force him to marry her, and she has Stockholm syndrome. So you're you're you're positing a badland scenario?

Yeah. There is something very wrong about their relationship. Well, one thing that's sort of unexamined is, you know, why, why is their car not affected by this? He could be an alien. Ooh, wow. And that's how he's getting a pregnant with his fingers. Was he putting microchips on her vagina? He's so much older than her.

He's what? He appears to be so much older than her. She does look very, and act very young. Is it a Lolita situation? Is it like... Yep, it is. This is a very thinly veiled Lolita Humbert Humbert situation.

All right, your name, your movie title, your question. My name is Liz, the movie title is Transformers 4, Revenge of the Fallen. The question is, so they have a grenade launcher that they fire at a select few trucks. Why don't they fire the grenade launcher at the trucks and then get out? Well, that's a great question. Yeah, they also have grenades.

They have tons of stuff that they could blow up all the trucks with. And it is unclear to me Why they don't and instead why they just fill those trucks up with gas Well because the guns on them the gun is slowly on them, but if you push it real quick Pin grenade roll under machine gun truck a Blehem All right, I have a question over here. Your question is unanswerable grenade roll under machine gun truck. Couple am. All right, I have a question over here. Your question is unanswerable.

Your question, your name, your title, and your question. Hi, I'm Megan. The machines are here. My title would be, you're an asshole. Hey, man, be cool. The title, the title of the bank in the beginning. And my question is, I was very upset that Emilio Estevez and the road twitch got to have the bed.

In this weird truck stop, like road stop, that was also a motel that had showers and that weird bathroom scene. And I'm just wondering why the boss seemingly had to sleep in the restaurant, and then also woke up with the waitress, who she was bumping herself up as if they slept together, even though she was with one of the truckers that got killed. I think it's the end of the world, and people are just hardcore boning, right?

I mean, I was like, but I think the bottom of the barrel guy get the bed, the one man. Yeah, and they would think that married couple on their first night of marriage. You know, it's deserving of a bed. Who has a good, a really good question? They believe in their question. Oh, this guy right here, I take the waving of the hand.

All right, here you go. What is your question? Your name, your title, and your question. My name is Maxwell, and it would be obtuse overdose. Ooh. Hi Paul. Hi. Hi. And June. Darling. You guys are hilarious. You're doing a good job.

It's that, means everything. Do you think we're doing this for you? There are a lot of fun. There are a lot of fun. There are a lot of fun. There's a lot of fun. These are great. You having fun? Here's your question. Go.

OK, mainly, dude. Remember, you told us this would be good. It's good. It's good. It's good. So far, it's terrible. I want to get to all of you. I just wanted to know what your favorite death was in the montage

when the kid, the sprinkler montage, when the kid's driving down the street on his bike, which has the illest music cue in the montage when the kid, the sprinkler montage when the kid's driving down the street on his bike, which has the illest music cue in the whole movie. So I don't know if like the dog, hair dryer. All right, so what is everyone's favorite death? I'm gonna say death by Walkman. I liked the lawnmower. I liked the lawnmower as a threat,

because it was slow. So like I couldn't understand why the person had been killed by it. I think I liked the blow dryer, ultimately. I've already said I like that dog eating that ambulance to death. But I want to give a special shout out, and that seemed to the fact that that kid doesn't give a shit about any of it. It's riding around on his bike on.

Yeah, everybody got killed in some way. The way they reveal the news of his father's death, Emilio on the road twitch, like refused to tell him. Don't tell him. And don't want anyone telling him, as though that's gonna make it any easier when he finds out his father's dead. Yeah, and when he arrives in the truck stop, there's, I mean, what?

A baker's dozen people there. And he's asked over and over where's my dead man? Is my dad okay? Where's my dad? Nobody answers. And Bubba is like, oh, he's fucking straight up dead, dude. Yeah. He's like deadsville USA. Bubba, not great bedside manners, but a fourth rag guy.

He's got the information out. All right, sir, your name, your title, and your question. All right, I'm Charlie. I would call this Mad Max Fury Road Twitch. And do you think Vince Gilligan was inspired by this movie when he was making the Breaking Bad season finale with that automatic machine gun killing everybody? From the car.

Spoilers for breaking bad. That would be a humiliating thing for Vince Killigan to have to admit. The whole breaking bad was leading up to his homage to Maximum Overdrive. It wasn't about the math, it was about that machine gun car. Yes. To answer that question, please put your hands together for Vince Gilligan. Obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there that have a differing opinion is now time for a second opinions. Perk or an appeared, you're in.

You know how we do it now at the live shows. We don't play a theme song. You guys sing your own theme song. So let's hear it from the audience. Your interpretation of the second opinions theme, one, two, three, go. And great. Next time, just elect a spokesman to really do it justice. There was something terrifying about that.

All right, these are five star reviews called from Amazon. This one right here. Best movie ever. I can watch this movie all the time. If you like machines or work on them, you will like it. Five stars. Title of that review. Love it. Five stars. Title of that review. Love it.

It was fun to watch again with my grandkids and see what they thought of it when their parents watched it. People should just watch it to remember the past and how things have changed and the world is different. Title of that review was fun to watch and remember, five stars. I can take of at least one other movie that was made in the past. This one simply by night town. If you like ACDC and Trucks, you'll love this movie. Five stars. Not untrue. By Jillian, this movie used to terrify me as a child, mainly because my father was a semi truck driver, and I was often around semis. It's a great movie. I loved it even though I was terrified and I still love

it to this day. That is a cry for help. I don't think this is real, but I want to read it. This is by Zombie X. Zombie X writes, I just got out of jail for vehicular manslaughter. And this movie really relates to me. I think Stephen King got it right, and it really makes you want to get in your Mac truck and run people over. So if you feel the need to see the absence of violence V-I-L-E-N-C-E Grab this movie and go crazy Three Zs five stars. I Don't think that's real Finally will end on this one

This is my most favorite movie I especially is my most favorite movie. I especially, ex-P-E-S-A-L-Y, I especially, like semi-disc. I especially, like semi-trucks. I like the green goblin truck. I had me scared to death. If, in capital, you like this movie, email me at tag88atbyesville.net. Five stars. I'm gonna say his inbox has not been flooded with you. Well, that is maximum overdrive. Is there anything that we missed that we did not speak about anything that you guys feel like worthy of talking about?

The bridge scene in the beginning. Wow, well, I didn't ask you. I'm asking them. There's a lot. A lot of stuff. I mean, there were people just killed by watermelons in the first five minutes in the movie. Yeah, watermelons and machines. No machines.

That bridge opening up is so slow. So slow. When that biker falls into the water, I'm like, that's like a ride at like six flags. Yeah, somebody slides down the bridge, like the bridge is all the way up. And meanwhile, the truck is still on the middle of the tube. Yeah, it's like only this far up.

I just couldn't get over the ACDC van. That was all I cared about in that scene. Just out-solving mysteries. Mm-hmm. We did. I have not mentioned the, I would say, rather offensive black character in the arcade. Oh. I forgot about it.

I gotta cut it off. I don't know if we want to get into it, but it's pretty rough. It's pretty rough stuff. Let's take a look at the Yomama scene. This is a character who finds himself really getting lucky when the cigarette machine starts spitting out cigarettes and the machine starts spitting out coins. He loads himself up with full cigarettes and coins. Let me get this.

First of all, it's just yeah. Oh. First of all, it's just yeah. Oh, you're watching the ball. You're mopping. He's watching a pinball machine. Um, explode and he then he curses out the pinball machine. Then coffee starts flying at him. I'm not sure what made the glass break. Yeah, I don't know if they could last break.

And then he starts staring into a I'm not sure what made the last video. Yeah, I don't know if they could last great. And then he starts staring into a computer screen, video games, and gets elected to you. Now, what's interesting about that is that seems like the machines are more than sentient. Yeah, the fact that he's getting electrocuted is interesting and the machines are playing like weird images and stuff like that He's getting sucked into but that doesn't happen any other place And that's the opening scene But maybe it's because the video game is called star castle and it's like the aliens and the UFOs are really

You know, you're not even gonna finish that I think in the truest form that's probably the best way to end Leaving a lot of things hanging yeah, I mean I Don't know that's a whole different movie. Yeah It's not that good. Anything else, Andy? There was something else I wanted to, oh, I just, I wanted to talk about the farting scene, but people,

you can talk about that amongst yourselves with your family. That was one of the most disgusting scenes. It really was. Of all time, wet, shit, and an exposition scene. And I don't even think they were explaining anything of note. No.

And those fart sounds, like those weren't fun fart sounds. No, they were all too real. Sometimes, sometimes when you read Stephen King and EW, he'll get really behind something that has, like you're like, wait, this is kind of really smart guy likes this, like weird thing, you know, it's like he'll just be really into, I can't even think of anything that he would like, that is worthy of I. But he likes something really shitty, and I feel like that is something he found to be very funny.

He's like, oh, I just farting the entire wetter, juicy or farts. Like, that's a real director's moment right there. Wet, juicy farts. Stephen King does it again, the master of fart noises. Let's talk about this summer, where juicy Farts by Stephen King. Is that guy's colon a machine? I urge you all to check out Blake's article on Slash Film.

And I'm so excited to watch more and see what happens. Cool, yeah. I actually believe, I don't know when this will air, but in my opinion, episodes five through eight
