Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Dan Caffrey head to Hollywood King again to discuss the latest developments in King's Dominion, specifically new trailers for Welcome to Derry and The Long Walk, a depressing quote from Stephen King, Mike Flanagan's Carrie, Emilio Estevez's Maximum Overdrive sequel idea, and more.
Let's rip some fat lines because we're covering Stephen King's MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, as chosen by our Patreon Subscribers! We're talking how coked up the movie is, get thirsty for diesel (and Emilio Estevez), and unlock insane childhood trauma
After a slow start in the year of the Stichup ,Chris has gone full throttle by picking Maximum Overdrive — Stephen King's chaotic leap into the director's chair!Maximum Overdrive marks Stephen King's one and only time in the director's chair — and it shows. What was meant to be a thrilling blend of horror and action instead turned into a loud, chaotic mess that careened off the rails almost as quickly as the film's killer machines. With King himself later admitting to being "coked out of his mind" during production, the set was plagued by technical mishaps, safety issues, and a general sense of confusion. Despite the big names like Emilio Estevez and an all-AC/DC soundtrack trying to give it some punch, the film's directionless tone and over-reliance on noisy spectacle made it feel more exhausting than exciting.Critics panned Maximum Overdrive on release, and even among Stephen King's most loyal fans, it's often cited as the low point of his career. The practical effects and stunts, while ambitious, can't save a film weighed down by terrible pacing, thin characters, and an almost comical sense of self-seriousness. Instead of delivering scares, the movie lurches from one over-the-top set piece to another, never quite finding its footing. Over time, it's gained a cult following, but mostly as a "so bad it's good" curiosity — a cautionary tale of what happens when a writer tries to direct while completely off the rails.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where machines turn against their masters, Maximum Overdrive unleashes chaos like never before! When a mysterious comet passes overhead, everyday gadgets — from trucks to toasters — come alive with a deadly agenda. Trapped in a remote truck stop, a ragtag group of survivors must band together to fight off an army of killer vehicles hellbent on destruction. It's man versus machine in an explosive battle for survival… and in this fight, there's no off switch! Maximum Overdrive — where the machines run wild and the terror never stops!thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

This week on The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four offbeat cop films that have stuck with me over the years. These films can be funny, gritty, offbeat, and sometimes kind of chaotic in the best way possible. So what movies am I recommending?Running Scared (1986) – Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines as two wisecracking Chicago detectives. This one's got a great mix of comedy and action, and it leans into that mid-80s buddy cop energy without taking itself too seriously. Michael McDonald's “Sweet Freedom” is on the soundtrack, which feels like a time capsule in itself.Miami Blues (1990) – Alec Baldwin in a role that's kind of hard to pin down. He plays a violent conman who ends up impersonating a cop. It's based on a Charles Willeford novel and keeps that oddball tone where you're not always sure if you're supposed to laugh or be disturbed. Fred Ward is great in it too, playing the worn-out detective trying to catch him.Freebie and the Bean (1974) – This one's messier than most cop movies, but it's intentional. Directed by Richard Rush, who also did The Stunt Man, it's full of reckless driving, dark humor, and strange tonal shifts. Alan Arkin and James Caan play the leads, and they're either chasing criminals or arguing with each other. It kind of laid the groundwork for a lot of buddy cop films that came later.Stakeout (1987) – Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez as partners on a surveillance detail that doesn't stay professional for very long. There's a good balance of suspense and comedy, and Madeleine Stowe holds her own in her first major role. It was directed by John Badham, who also did WarGames and Short Circuit, so the pacing is solid.If you're in the mood for movies where different type of cops break rules, hunt odd suspects or drive their car on the track of an elevated train, I think you will find something here you will like.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Zo was invited by his friends in Chicago to attend a live boxing match. He declined not wanting to deal with the traffic. He later learned that there would've been more than just traffic to deal with. Besides getting stuck in the aforementioned traffic and getting into a fender bender in their borrowed RV trying to get out of that bumper to bumper headache, Zo's friends also got lost in the city taking an unfamiliar route to the stadium, accidently hit a pedestrian with the RV, got the RV banged up and stuck in a narrow alley, witnessed the murder of that same pedestrian by some gangsters, and spent most of their night running for their lives from those psychopathic killers! It seemed like the kind of tribulations that people would have to deal with on Judgement Day.

That's not a name, that's a major appliance! This week, V and Emily use the release of iconic teen film "Pretty In Pink" as an excuse to look at the influence of the Brat Pack on film, fandom, and film fandom since 1985. "Pretty In Pink" is a part of why Star Wars IX has the chopped-up feel it does; the Brat Pack themselves changed the nature of how fans and celebrities were meant to relate to one another. And, of course, the VCRification (it's a word) of movie-watching feeds right into the issues with direct-to-streaming fan culture today. What's your favorite Brat Pack film?

We didn't have our usual time to do the show and should have known that once The Hoff entered the conversation, we would lose all track of time. Before that, we looked at the massive 80s stars who were snubbed by The Grammys during the 80s, when it was a procession of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Kenny Loggins wins. Dori surprises Paulo with RDJ's dating history, while Paulo finds a movie that connects the Brat Pack to Breaking Bad, to AC/DC, and even to The Simpsons.

Send us a textOMG! Remember the Might Ducks? If you were a kid in the 90s you almost certainly remember the Mighty Ducks. If you were an adult, you probably couldn't believe they were adding an NHL team based on a freaking Disney Film. Either way, it stars the great Emilio Estevez, the guy that plays Foggy in the awesome Daredevil series, and that other guy who would become Pacy "the Milf Slayer" from Dawsons Creek. Join us as we return to the 90s and revisit one of many kids movies we remember liking.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
This week's episode (delayed by the fires!) is a request we got from a listener somewhere along the way. Well, you asked for it, and now we have become the Bishop of Battle! Is there anything educational about this TV pilot gone theatrical? Why does that rat have psychic powers? Is the Terror in Topanga segment less scary than being in Topanga is right now? All this and more on this week's episode!

In the mid-1980s, few films targeted young adults, and studios were still figuring out how to connect with the emerging Generation X. Enter St. Elmo's Fire—a quintessential 80s flick that featured a star-studded cast of rising talent: Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Mare Winningham, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Demi Moore. Centered around a group of recent Georgetown grads navigating the post-college world, the film perfectly captured the spirit of the Reagan era. It resonated with a generation on the cusp of adulthood. In this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast, join Tim Williams and guest co-host, JB Huffman, as they dive into the cultural touchstone that is St. Elmo's Fire. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The higher education campus featured in the movie is Georgetown University. All the main characters in the film attended this university together. However, after reviewing the script, the administrators at Georgetown University declined to allow the producers to film on campus. As a result, the on-campus scenes were shot at the University of Maryland instead. The only appearance of Georgetown University in the film is a long shot taken from across the Potomac River.

Spencer GarrettTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Spencer Garrett. In this episode, I get to know the actor and ow he got to where he is. We chat about his family, and what made him decide to get into show business. We trade Hollywood stories; although he has many, MANY more! We take a little detour, when Spencer tells me what he was doing between college and acting; while working in Washington D.C. Next we Talk about how and why he studied with Sanford (Sandy) Meisner, and how Spencer came to be in several of Emilio Estevez's film projects. From behind the scenes on some of the greatest films ever made, to some fun down time with Mike Nichols, and Dustin Hoffman; Spencer is full of stories. I ask Spencer about his involvement in the super popular scripted fiction podcast called America 2.0, and he hints there may be more on the horizon. That leads into an unbelievable story about a group of character actors who meet every month for dinner and have a BLAST together. The CADS, is a group of like-minded actors including: Michael McKean, Lawrence Fishburne, Steven Weber, Titus Welliver, Kevin Pollak, Richard Kind, and so many more! I want to attend this dinner just once!!. Make sure you check out Spencer in the upcoming Korean spy thriller on Disney+ called Tempest (2025), and tell him you heard him on Fascination Street Podcast!

Ken welcomes back essayist, teacher, guidance counselor, and ordained minister Nathaniel Manderson from his home in Boston. Last Summer, Nate took thirty days to walk the 500 mile Camino do Santiago pilgrimage tradition says was taken by St. James, the Apostle. It's the same journey memorialized by the Emilio Estevez film starring his father, Martin Sheen called The Way. Nate shares his remarkable journey - the prompting to go, the people he met, lessons along the way, and the intensely emotional climax that final day as he entered the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela (consecrated in 1211 C.E.) Just a few days before their conversation, Nate's most recent opinion piece was published in the Boston Globe entitled Democrats: Let Me (Re)Introduce You to the Working Class. Even with his advanced academic degrees, he considers himself a member of that working class. Nate is a contributor to the popular news site SALON. His author page makes the introduction: Nathaniel Manderson was educated at a conservative seminary, trained as a minister, ordained through the American Baptist Churches USA and guided by liberal ideals. Throughout his career he has been a pastor, a career counselor, an academic adviser, a high school English teacher and an advocate for first-generation and low-income students, along with a paper delivery man, a construction worker, a FedEx package handler and whatever else he could do to take care of his family.SHOW NOTES | Become a Patron | Ken's Substack PageSupport the showSupport the show

For the second of our DisComfort Films episodes for Halloween month, we're joined by special guest and real life pal Cathleen Mortensen Bittner to discuss the one and only Stephen King adaptation directed by the man himself, Maximum Overdrive! Though this gory, darkly humorous film has never received its due from critics, all three of us consider it a masterpiece of cartoonish, near-slapstick horror. We discuss King's director influences from Hitchcock to Romero, the hard-hitting AC/DC-dominated soundtrack, the Cold War as a backdrop to this and many other 80s films, Brat Pack star Emilio Estevez's ex-con hero Bill Robinson, the questionably criminal background of Bubba Hendershot (Pat Hingle), the role of anxiety in horror, and the movie's many excellent practical effects, including the very angry soda machine. Keep a close eye on your appliances and join us to explore the question, “Who made who?”

A group of rootin' tootin' 80's heartthrobs strap on holsters and learn to cowboy to bring the exploits of Billy the Kid's Regulators to the silver screen. Emilio Estevez called it a "heavy metal western," so if you to rock, make the sign of the horns and blast the Brains!
On this week's episode, the hosts excavate the psyche and begin by exploring Inside Out 2, a sophisticated children's movie that tackles the question on every kid's mind: How does one go about crafting a highly integrated ego? A bevy of new emotions join the motley crew living inside of our teenage protagonist Riley's mind, most notably Anxiety, voiced brilliantly by Maya Hawke. The film, a sequel to Pixar's 2015 Academy Award-winner, is filled with wisdom about developmental psychology, but finds itself in murky waters when indirectly tackling issues of free will and the power of the unconscious mind. Then, the panel probes the mind of Andrew McCarthy, whose recent documentary Brats (not to be confused with the new Charli XCX joint) reveals the inner workings of the “Brat Pack,” a term coined by David Blum in a New York Magazine cover story published in 1985. A lifelong member of the “Brat Pack,” McCarthy attempts to reconcile his relationship to the infamous label alongside others who fell under it, including Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, and Emilio Estevez, in a surprisingly personal and peculiar documentary that's quite revealing of McCarthy – either intentionally or not. Finally, the trio considers Google, the tech giant and the subject of Kyle Chayka's piece for The New Yorker, “Is Google S.E.O. Gaslighting the Internet?” Chayka's article sparks a larger conversation about the oversized role search engines have played in our lives and in our understanding of the internet, and comes at a time when Google plans to further integrate A.I. into Search Engine Optimization (S.E.O.) and eliminate the need for writers, journalists, and news organizations. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel answers an excellent listener request from Rachael: “Discuss your favorite content from the early Internet days, before it became a toxic wasteland.” Email us at culturefest@slate.com.
