King Sized: A Moving Panels Special

Episode 3: Maximum Overdrive


Listen Later

What happens when the machines don’t just malfunction—but turn murderous? In this episode of King-Sized, Laramy is joined by Tim Williams (of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast) to dive into Maximum Overdrive, the 1986 film written and directed by Stephen King, based on his short story Trucks. From rampaging big rigs to killer kitchen appliances—and that unforgettable Green Goblin-faced truck—they explore how the film compares to the original story, what led King to take the director’s chair, and how this wild ride has carved out its own place in cult movie history. Should you read it, watch it, or skip it altogether? Strap in—this one’s definitely King-Sized.
