Trucks with Paul Soter

Episode 66,   Jun 02, 2021, 09:43 AM

Broken Lizard's Paul Soter joins the boys to compare and contrast 1997's Trucks with King's own directorial outing, Maximum Overdrive, and the original short story from Night Shift. This chat will bring you discussions on questionable genre fan parenting techniques, why kids today aren't phased by the same shit that scared us old people when we were young and burning questions like could a hazmat suit connected to a sentient truck via an air compressor really do ax murders and did the filmmakers really think we wouldn't notice that they replace the main cast with straight up rigid mannequins? Also, this episode features the very first on-air urination and a legit Kingcast Exclusive scoop that might or might not pan out. Buckle up, folks!

It was a dark and stormy night (literally, you'll hear the thunder in the background of this episode) when two Stephen King nerds were joined by a very funny guest to discuss the most frightening thing of all: a serious in tone Canadian direct-to-video remake of Maximum Overdrive.
