This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron take a wild ride through Maximum Overdrive (1986), the only film ever written and directed by Stephen King — and for good reason. Fueled by cocaine, ACDC, and zero directing experience, it’s the story of killer trucks, homicidal vending machines, and a group of survivors holed up in a North Carolina truck stop wondering how this movie got made.
From a drawbridge that eats cars to soda cans that kill Little Leaguers, the guys break down every explosive and confusing moment. They talk about King’s on-set chaos, Emilio Estevez’s deadpan delivery, the horny newlyweds, and that unforgettable Green Goblin–faced semi that became the movie’s mascot. It’s a masterclass in 80s excess — part action, part horror, all nonsense.
Grab a can of soda, your ACDC mix tape, and join the hosts as they laugh their way through one of the most cocaine-fueled disasters in movie history. Because if Maximum Overdrive taught us anything, it’s that not even Stephen King can direct Stephen King.
