Hi. My name is Stephen King. I've written several motion pictures, but I want to tell you about a movie called Maximum Overdrive, which is the first one I've directed.

Welcome to the now playing Stephen King Trucks Retrospective Series.

I'm a lot of people, but I've directed Stephen King novels and stories, and I finally decided if you want something done right, you're out of do what you sell.

I was the advice doer to Jacob and Arnie.

It was my first picture as a director. You know something? I sort of enjoyed it.

Join us at nowplayingpodcast.com each week for a new movie review based on the works of Stephen King.

I just wanted someone to do Stephen King right.

His podcast will contain detailed watch spoilers and harsh language.

So come and spend some time with me and my friends at the Dixie Boy. Spend some time with the dog.

Listen or discretion is advised.

I'm going to steer the hell out of you and that's a promise.

Today we're discussing Maximum Overdrive starring Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Laura Harrington, Yeardly Smith, Frankie Faison, music by ACDC, directed by Stephen King.

Based on a story by Stephen King, screenplay by Stephen King.

So we got one person to pin this one on folks.

Here comes another load of joy. Arnie, the co-host of now playing.

Steward NLA, crazy as a rat and a plugged up shit house.

And this is the host that machines are always calling an asshole, Jacob.

We have talked about Maximum Overdrive for years.

Since long before we were doing a Stephen King retrospective, we have made fun of the trailer for this movie.

And now, finally, I know you guys have forked the knives out. We get to review it.

Me, I'm coming in as a cautious optimist. I'm an ACDC fan and last time I saw this, I kind of thought of it like a rock concert.

Not too mentally challenging, but a lot of fun.
