Don Ferguson as Andy Giancarlo Esposito as Videoplayer Stephen King (cameo) as ATM man Tabitha King as 1st Woman (uncredited) Marla Maples as 2nd woman A cult favorite, Stephen King\u2019s Maximum Overdrive may be remembered more for the iconic \u201cGreen Goblin\u201d killer truck and the awesome AC\/DC soundtrack than the film itself. Admit it. The film is a mess but in a so-bad-it\u2019s-good sort of way. Goofy hijinks and silly shenanigans abound as Emilio Estevez struggles to save a small group of survivors trapped in the Dixie Boy truck stop. While the film is complete bunk, it remains a fun ride to revisit occasionally. Or, not. At the time of this writing, Maximum Overdrive is available for streaming from Tubi and PlutoTV, and as PPV from multiple sources. It is also available on physical media in standard Blu-ray format from Lionsgate\u2019s Vestron Video Collector\u2019s Series.

The next episode\u2019s film, chosen by Jeff, will be Nomads (1986), an oft-mentioned, oft-requested movie featuring Lesley-Anne Down, Pierce Brosnan, Mary Woronov, Adam Ant, and a wild, twisting story.This should be a good discussion!
