EPISODE 30 | Human overlord crossing the road? Don’t hesitate, accelerate! In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. takes a look under the hood (sorry) of Stephen King’s 1986 chaotic horror film Maximum Overdrive, adapted from the author’s short story, Trucks.

Discussing Maximum Overdrive’s plot where machines come to murderous life and attack humans after Earth passes through the tail of a comet, Brandon humorously analyzes the film’s story in addition to providing anecdotes about its production behind the scenes. He also provides theories on potential themes and social commentary hidden beneath the film’s campiness and absurdity.
