Podcasts about Plymouth Fury

The rumble of vintage engines and the aroma of breakfast tacos fill the air as we broadcast live from the Tailpipes and Tacos cruise-in at Lupe' Tortilla in Katy, Texas. This popular gathering of automotive enthusiasts provides the perfect backdrop for conversations with passionate car collectors and restorers who share the stories behind their prized vehicles.Stan Holt, the proprietor of Loopy Tortilla and host of the event, sits down with us to discuss his impressive 52-car collection. With characteristic humor, Stan shares the tale of his impulsive purchase of a 1941 Packard at a Mecum Auction despite not registering as a bidder. "The guy was asking me where's your bidder number? I said I don't have a bidder number. He said you can't bid without a bidder number. I said oh yeah, you can. I just bought that," Stan recounts with a laugh. His collection includes everything from this beautiful Packard to a 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with period-correct avocado green interior.We also speak with Trey Sider about his meticulously restored 1958 Plymouth Fury, modeled after the iconic car from Stephen King's "Christine." Trey details the four-year restoration process, including trips to California scrapyards to source authentic parts. His dedication has resulted in a show-winning vehicle that captures the essence of late-1950s automotive design, complete with period-correct interior fabrics and a powerful 392 Hemi engine.Between these fascinating conversations, we discuss upcoming events including the Hot Rod Tour of Texas, which will bring over 300 classic cars through the back roads from Victoria to Madisonville. We also provide a comprehensive review of the 2025 Toyota Corolla and practical recommendations for parents looking to purchase used SUVs for teen drivers.Throughout the episode, nostalgic discussions about automotive history – from cigarette lighters in dashboards to the evolution of power steering – create a rich tapestry of car culture that spans generations. Join us for this celebration of automotive passion where every vehicle has a story to tell and every collector has a unique journey to share.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This week, we discuss two films that feature characters being terorrised by vehicles. The first is Christine (1983), a supernatural horror film co-scored and directed by John Carpenter and starring Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky and Harry Dean Stanton. Adapted from Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name, the movie follows the changes in the lives of Arnie Cunningham, his friends, his family, and his teenage enemies after he buys a classic red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, a car that seems to have a mind of its own and a jealous, possessive personality, which has a bad influence on Arnie. The second is Duel (1971), an action-thriller directed by Steven Spielberg. It centres on a travelling salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) driving his car through rural California to meet a client. However, he finds himself chased and terrorised by the mostly unseen driver of a semi-truck. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with Spielberg's direction being singled out for praise. It has since been recognised as an influential cult classic and one of the greatest films ever made for television.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:01:03) –  Gladiator, Gladiator 2, The Penguin, Predator, Notting Hill Christine (00:31:50) Duel (00:58:00) Coin toss (01:11:12)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com Going Rogue podcast - Gladiator 2 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2iosKfiFHpYObG0k1LH4hy

Plymouth fury, fans frustration Oxford preview by OWTT

Stephen King taught us some important lessons while ascending to his rightful place as America's most prolific author of horror and supernatural fiction. For instance: don't dump pig's blood on Carrie, never stay at The Shining's Overlook Hotel, and for goodness sake, tread lightly when dealing with a 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine. King takes the classic tale of boy-meets-girl to frightening heights when a geeky teenager named Arnie falls for a red Plymouth Fury with a sketchy past. Christine falls hard for Arnie, too, which would be roses and balloon drops if it weren't for one tiny detail: the car is a killing machine with a long memory and a short fuse. Moral of the story: Never underestimate the fury of a Fury, particularly one that just…won't…die. So jump in the Plymouth Fury, put out your cigar and try not to choke on your hamburger as Tim Williams and Guest Co-Host, Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" Podcast discuss “Christine” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: Stephen King and director George Romero worked together on several projects early in King's career, including adaptations of "Salem's Lot" and "The Stand." They also collaborated on the 1982 film "Creepshow." During that time, Romero married actress and producer Christine Forrest. Although they divorced in 2010, Romero cast Forrest in several of his films. As a tribute to their friendship, King named the evil 1958 Plymouth Fury in his novel "Christine" after her. After reading over the book, actor Keith Gordon and the costume designer came up with a visual way to show Arnie being possessed by Christine. As the movie progresses, Arnie begins to wear clothes that reflect the era of Christine's make. At various points, especially when Arnie is yelling at Leigh on the phone, Arnie is seen wearing button up shirts open with black t-shirts, black pants, and boots like a 1950's "greaser." When he's talking to Junkins, he's wearing a leather vest over a button up shirt (a nod to western TV shows which were popular in the 50's), and he even starts to wear a red suede jacket like James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause".

Jan Carpenter's In The Month Of Madness continues!

Today we're revving up our Plymouth Fury's and talking about John Carpenter's 1983 take on Stephen King's novel, CHRISTINE— a fine little tale about a boy and his car. Of course, there's a little more to it than just that (we have two masters of horror coming together behind one possessed wheel and perhaps a wee bit too many homoerotic undertones!) so you better believe there's a lot to talk about here — tune in now and listen up as we slash up and bleed out our first vehicles, John and Stephen's work in general (and what we like and do not like about ‘em), and if this movie is just a little too gay for its muffler or if it's just us…

Based on Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name, the stars Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, and Harry Dean Stanton, and it follows the changes in the lives of Arnie Cunningham, his friends, his family, and his teenage enemies after he buys a classic red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, a car that seems to have a mind of its own and a jealous, possessive personality, which has a bad influence on Arnie. In addition to the anniversary, the team kicks things off talking award season with the results of the National Board of Review, The Los Angeles Film Critics, The Astra Awards, and more!

The heat is on across King's Dominion. To cool off, The Losers' Club put on their shades, rev up their ol' Plymouth Fury, and feel the breeze in Hollywood King.

The Halloween holiday is upon so what better time than to kick in CARPENTER WEEK!  Of course this refers to genre master John Carpenter who over the past 45 years has directed several of the most iconic action and/or horror genre films of the modern era including previous episode The Thing, Escape From New York, and of course...Halloween. ;) Many would cite the decade of the '80's as his PEAK era as he helmed a string of popular and/or influential movies loaded with thrills and/or chills....And this horror thriller certainly qualifies as it's the seemingly simple tale of a teenage boy and his car.  Adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name released earlier this same year, "Christine" is in fact the NAME of said car which is a '58 Plymouth Fury recently restored by mild-mannered teenager Arnie played by Keith Gordon.  Of course just as the car has undergone a transformation, so does Arnie as he becomes increasingly infatuated with this vintage automobile....an automobile which also starts to rack up an increasing body count as the story progresses.  And the only two people standing in its way end up being Arnie's best friend and girlfriend played respectively by John Stockwell and Alexandra Paul respectively.  Once again directed by Carpenter, it's time to hit the road to revisit this cult classic which is about to turn 40!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Christine, released in 1983, was an adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name, directed by John Carpenter. The film tells the story of a possessed and malevolent 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, and the havoc it wreaks on the life of its owner, Arnie Cunningham (played by Keith Gordon). The production process involved bringing this sinister car to life and capturing the eerie and atmospheric elements of King's source material. Carpenter, known for his work in the horror genre, was a key figure in the film's success. He worked closely with the special effects team to create the car's transformation sequences and the chilling moments that defined the film. One of the notable challenges during production was finding and restoring the vintage Plymouth Fury cars used in the film. Multiple cars were needed to depict Christine's various stages of destruction and repair. Additionally, the film's practical effects, including the car's self-repairing capabilities, required careful coordination and execution. John Carpenter's direction and his experience in horror filmmaking played a crucial role in establishing the film's tense and suspenseful atmosphere. Upon its release, "Christine" became a cult classic in the horror genre, thanks in part to its successful adaptation of King's novel and the effective production efforts that brought the sinister car to life on screen.

When nerdy high school student Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) discovers the dilapidated car in a junkyard, he becomes obsessed with restoring it to its former glory. As Arnie pours his heart and soul into Christine's renovation, a malevolent force within the car takes hold of him, leading to a dramatic transformation. Obsession turns to possession, and the car begins to take a supernatural and vengeful toll on those who dare to cross it. As the body count rises and Arnie's personality darkens, his close friend Dennis (John Stockwell) races against time to save him from the clutches of the evil automobile. "Christine" is a chilling tale of a haunted car and the destructive power of obsession, showcasing John Carpenter's talent for crafting atmospheric horror. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Ever wondered why John Carpenter's adaptation of Stephen King's Christine has more popularity now than it did at its release in 1983? Join us as we plunge headfirst into an introspective journey of this cinematic masterpiece, analyzing its timing, extraordinary casting and innovative filmography that brought a terrifying Plymouth Fury to life. What makes a car frightful? John Carpenter certainly knew! As we dissect scene by scene of this horror classic, we'll talk about how Carpenter's ingenious use of a 1958 Plymouth Fury, the vivid characterization of Arnie, and the omission of the ghost of the previous car owner, turned a seemingly harmless inanimate object into a nightmarish entity. We'll also discuss the remarkable performances of Keith Gordon, William Ostrander and others, and how they brought Stephen King's vision alive. Finally, we'll wrap up our conversation by discussing the phenomenal stunt work in the movie, especially the heart-stopping scene where Terry Leonard is engulfed in flames while inside the car. We'll also be comparing the novel and the movie, and debating if King's books-turned-movies truly live up to his vision. Tune in and join the conversation as we acknowledge the impactful legacy of Christine on the horror genre and the cinematic brilliance of John Carpenter.

On Episode 91 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Skye is joined by returning guest hosts Jacob Rivera and Kyle Reardon to take a look back at a film from one of the Film ‘89 team's favourite directors, John Carpenter, his 1983 adaptation of Stephen King's Christine, the tale of a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury and it's young new owner's descent into madness as both car and driver go on an unstoppable killing spree. Coming off the back of the critical and commercial failure of The Thing (1982), a film that would later be widely regarded as a masterpiece of cinema, Carpenter went back to the style of horror he perfected in his 1978 classic, Halloween. Light on gore but full of mood and suspense, Christine is one of the lesser talked about films in Carpenter's filmography but one that we feel is one of the director's best films and is discussed in depth by the Film ‘89 team for its 40th anniversary. 

We watched John Carpenter's Christine and were treated to some good, old fashioned, car calendar porn. @dgoebel00 on Instagram provided this amazing artwork. Follow him and check out his website. https://youtu.be/0Xq75RR7otQ Synopsis A nerdy young man named Arnie (Keith Gordon) finds his soulmate in a 1958 Plymouth Fury. He rebuilds the car and in-turn rebuilds himself as a confident, independent lad. You Arnie notices that girls are now attracted to him, and this turns him into a force of nature. But the real force of nature seems to be his car, nicknamed Christine. Christine seems to have a life of her own, a life centered around taking life from others.  Arnie's mom and dad are worried about him, his friends are worried about him, and even his hot stuff girlfriend is worried about him.  Anyone who crosses Arnie, though, is worried about Christine. Everyone get's more classic cars than they bargained for. Review This coming of age tale is the inverse Stephen King screenplay to the movie we reviewed last week, Carrie, where a young girl gets her period and subsequently murders her whole school.  In Christine, we see a nerdy young man get that big dick energy when he finds something to obsess over, which is strangely true-to-life for males. Best of all, the ending sequence takes place on New Years Eve! Christine isn't the silver screen powerhouse that Carrie is, but it's interesting when viewed back to back with it's feminine counterpart. Watch Christine (1983)Buy or Rent on AmazonClick Here to Watch It's slow, sometimes tedious, and a little mellow for a movie directed by the same guy who brought us Halloween and The Thing (John Carpenter). That being said, there was no part of Christine where I was upset with it.  It really struck me how much of the sentiment of Carrie is in here. Arnie gets bullied relentlessly by bullies at school and his parents aren't exactly cool. Even the garage owner bullies Arnie around. In the end Arnie doesn't find the power within himself, he imbues it into his work. This is a weirdly masculine trait.  Where Carrie finds the magic within her, Arnie finds it within other things. Arnie needs things and others in a uniquely masculine way. He needs acceptance, he needs a girlfriend. He needs Christine. Carrie doesn't need anyone, she just needs peace. She has had it with your shit. Arnie has too. It's a solid movie about a car that has the shining.If that sounds like a good time to you, this is honestly something you will enjoy.  Score 6/10

Hop in! We're going for a ride in our ‘58 Plymouth Fury for a Drive-In screening of one of our favorite sequels of all time: Don Coscarelli's PHANTASM II! Watch along as Brandon & Chris talk all over the studio-financed, stealth remake of the original fever-dream masterpiece. It's 97 minutes of spacegates, chainsaw fights and silver spheres that'll get you more pumped up than a sawed-off quad-barrelled shotgun blasting grandma-dwarves down a flight of stairs! Don't be intimidated by the potential wrath of the Tall Man, this is a DCDI Commentary Special and that means talking's allowed, boooooyyyyy!

Happy Halloween! We're here with a surprise bonus episode to talk about John Carpenter's Christine, which was a first-time watch for both of us.

Then, we become one with our car as we talk about whether we'd rather buy a house or a car that someone died in, why Christine was a Plymouth Fury, and the real romance at the core of this film. Joe points out some regional Pittsburgh delicacies, we pay respects to whoever was selling red leather in the 1980s, and we watch what just might be our best trailer ever.

Long time listeners know that GamerDude has always loved driving, and cars, and this week, he's talking about his love for cars again.  He talks about how his dad used to monitor gas prices when he was a kid, which is probably why he remembers what gas cost back in the 1970s.  That focus on a car-related essential is probably one of the factors that led to GamerDude's love for cars.  He talks about his first car, a Volkswagen bug, and the Plymouth Fury he replaced it with. He talks about trying to learn to do body work, and how he discovered that he wasn't really good at it.  Mechanical stuff he could do; body work - not so much. GamerDude also talks about the Rockford Firebird he bought, and why he liked it better than the "Screaming Eagle" Trans-Am. He also talks about trading it in for his first new car - a Mitsubishi Cordia. He talks about his preference for manual transmissions versus automatics, and how heart-breaking it was when someone ran a red light and totalled his Cordia.

Less than three hours later she had mysteriously vanished.There were no signs of a struggle, no indications of where Bobbie may have gone. Left behind were her purse and her cigarettes; the only things missing were Bobbie and her 1973 Plymouth Fury. While, at first, her family thought there might be a reasonable explanation, investigators were immediately concerned.Less than a year earlier, two other women had vanished under similar circumstances from within the same area. Police found one body, but the other remained missing. Soon it became a race against time to determine if Bobbie had been targeted by someone she knew or if she'd fallen victim to a yet unknown serial killer.FB: https://www.facebook.com/TraceEvidencePod/IG: https://www.instagram.com/traceevidencepod/TW: https://twitter.com/TraceEvPodVisit https://www.trace-evidence.com for more information, case photos, contact information and more.Merch: https://traceevidence.threadless.com/ Music Courtesy of: "Lost Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Finally, when it seems like investigators are closing in on a man who may be connected to Saba Girmai's murder nearly thirty years later, it all begins to fall apart. In an hours-long interview with Fresno resident Daniel Garcia, detectives learn just how his DNA ends up under Saba's fingernails, and it's a perfectly plausible explanation. Once so full of hope, now investigators think that once again, Saba's killer may have slipped free. This is the fourth episode of our special edition podcast series, Silicon Valley Beat: Major Crimes._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________[[Disclaimer: The Silicon Valley Beat, Major Crimes, is a podcast that deep-dives into major cases investigated by the Mountain View Police Department. Because this podcast covers investigations including critical incidents and homicides, what we discuss here may contain material that is not suitable for all listeners. Names and other sensitive information may be changed to protect the identity of the innocent.]]On last week's episode -- a new lead brought a new hope to a decades-old cold case. But as we began to reinvestigate the case, Saba's life in and around Mountain View continued to remain shrouded in mystery, even more than two decades later. But with DNA evidence now tying a known criminal to the case, the question becomes -- how did Daniel Garcia know Saba Girmai?This is the Silicon Valley Beat: Major Crimes.[[Opening bumper]]Episode 4: Who is Daniel Garcia?Katie Nelson: At the time, Garcia's formative years were spent in a city once known as being part of “the Valley of Hearts' Delight.” San Jose, once a bountiful farming and orchard community, began to shift into more of a concrete jungle towards the 1980s with the impetus of Silicon Valley beginning to show in companies that planted their seeds in and around the area, including Intel and IBM. San Jose's population in the 1980s boasted more than 620,000 people, up from less than 450,000 just a decade earlier. Today, San Jose is home to more than 1 million people, making it one of the largest cities in the country. Fresno, Garcia's new home, very much mirrored the growth of San Jose. Once a small farming community, Fresno has grown into a city of more than half a million people, making it the fifth most populous city in the state. San Jose is the third most populous. Daniel Garcia was no stranger to brushes with the law. In and out of the justice system for a majority of his adult life, the arrest record for Garcia was decades old, with crimes running the gamut. In fact, his adult record begins when he was just 20 years old, living in the San Jose area. In the span of seven years, from 1979 to 1986, Garcia was arrested five times by the San Jose Police Department. His arrests included multiple incidents where he was under the influence of a controlled substance and, at least once, he resisted arrest. His record begins to show even more aggressive behavior after he moved to the Fresno area. He was arrested for willfully harming a child, assault with a deadly weapon, sexual battery, and driving under the influence, among other charges. His last arrest -- in December 2012 -- was just one month before he would meet Detective Chris Kikuchi and Investigator Nate Wandruff.[[interlude]]Saul Jaeger: But his arrest record doesn't make up all of who Daniel Garcia is. Like every person, there's more to his story.Daniel Garcia also is a father of four. He is a brother. And, he has a father who lives in Mexico, but they aren't close. Daniel was a Bay Area native, born in San Jose, where he actually lived in the 1980s, after he left high school in Fresno. At least one former girlfriend would describe him as ‘cool.'When speaking with investigators, Garcia noted if he had stayed in high school, he would have graduated in 1978. Daniel Garcia is also a recovering drug addict. After dropping out of school, Garcia worked various labor jobs, digging trenches and working on construction sites. He was exposed early to drugs -- the seventh grade, he later recalled -- starting with uppers and downers. He avoided heroin, though, because a family member had died after using the drug, he stated. Garcia was sure of one thing, though, when it came to his preference when he was using -- his favorite drug was PCP. NEWS SAMPLE OF rampant PCP use in the 80's Katie Nelson: Phencyclidine, sometimes known as angel dust, rocket fuel, killer weed, or the ‘peace pill,' is actually an anesthetic. It sedates its users, creating a trance-like effect. Those who use PCP have described its effects as creating an ‘out of body' experience. When someone uses PCP, they can, among other effects, experience hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia, and a person can become exceptionally violent at the peak of their high. The drug is highly addictive, and can be fatal. According to Garcia, he used PCP for about 15 years, beginning after high school. He used PCP until just before 2000, when while high, he was involved in a serious collision that injured a woman. While high in Fresno, for example, Garcia said he and others engaged in a water fight in the backyard of a home. Police were called at some point. When officers arrived, one of them attempted to grab Garcia, and he noted that he thought it was a friend and actually “flipped him” over. Saul Jaeger: In another instance, Garcia experienced such intense hallucinations and paranoia during one high that he broke all of the windows at his mother's home in Fresno, and yet another time, he removed all of his clothes. Garcia recognized he needed help after his collision in 1999, and he stayed sober for more than 13 years, he said. [[interlude]]Between 1984 and 1987, Garcia lived in and around the downtown area in San Jose. Though he didn't have a license to drive, he said, he still drove around in his sister's purple, 1968 Chevrolet Impala. When she took the car back, Garcia remembered buying a late 1960s plum-colored Plymouth Fury, which had a loud, aftermarket exhaust. He had that car for less than a year. According to Garcia, one day, the car experienced mechanical issues, so he dumped it in the Pacheco Pass, and it was impounded. He never saw it again. Garcia knew the Mountain View area, too, confiding at one point he even had an aunt that lived in the area. He knew of Moffett Field, but it had been years, perhaps, since he had been back. Katie Nelson: During some of his time living in San Jose, Garcia noted that he lived near a 7-Eleven, in a complex on Reed Street. At the time, he lived there with his cousin and his cousin's girlfriend. This simple statement may become very important later. It was in that same complex that Garcia first met Saba. [[interlude]]Saba made quite an impression on Garcia, it seems. In speaking with investigators, he recalled her as being ‘thin' and ‘wild.'When shown a picture of her nearly three decades later in 2013, Garcia didn't hesitate in his acknowledgment that he recognized her.“I've seen her,” he said, underwhelmingly. When another picture was provided by Investigator Wandruff who, for clarification, asked if it was possible that Garcia maybe didn't recognize Saba, or if, perhaps, he thought she was maybe a different woman.“No,” Garcia said. “I remember that face.”Here is Daniel Garcia talking about Saba as he knew her back in 1985. Saul Jaeger: Just a quick warning, what you are about to hear are portions of the actual interview with Daniel Garcia and the investigators. There may be content and language not appropriate for all listeners. Discretion is advised. Daniel Garcia: To me, she was just a happy, kooky, money-making girl. Yeah, she would come around sometimes with no shoes, no jacket, no nothing, crazy and hungry. And if you were drinking, she wanted your beer. You were getting high, she wanted to get high. That's how she was, that was how I knew her. I mean, she wasn't my girlfriend, she wasn't nothing to me. She was just a trick around the complex. She came and left, came and left. That's how she was. She came and left. Came and left. Sometimes, she'd be gone for two weeks, three weeks, then she'd show up again. Katie Nelson: In 1985, in fact, Garcia distinctly recalled an incident where Saba ‘scratched' him as he was trying to eat. Daniel Garcia: It wasn't a fight. It wasn't a fight. I didn't hit her. She scratched me. End of story, you know what I mean? I didn't fight her, physically hit her, physically do anything to her. I'm just saying, I never had any contact other than being scratched by her. Sexually, physically, or anything. Besides her slapping me and clawing me. Saul Jaeger: According to Garcia, that was the last time he saw Saba. He moved, he said, sometime after that incident. He said when he went upstairs after the incident occurred, he noticed he was bleeding. He had scratches on his face. “When I went upstairs, I could see imprints from her fingers,” he noted. But initially that was as far as he provided. The next day, Garcia said, while at work, his father inquired what happened to his face. Garcia explained that he didn't call police about the alleged attack because, in his words, “she didn't have anywhere to go.”Garcia never told his cousin, with whom he lived, about the incident, nor, according to Garcia, did his cousin ever ask about the scratches on his face. However, and this is important, this was not what Garcia initially told Kikuchi and Wandruff. In his first iteration of the story, Garcia claimed he told his cousin about the attack, and that his cousin “laughed.”“Of course I was mad, but like I said, I wouldn't hit a woman. I never have. She scratched me and I went inside and that was the end of it,” according to Garcia. Daniel Garcia: Yeah, well of course I was mad, but as I said I wouldn't hit a woman. I never have. I went inside and that was the end of it. We got into a conflict there and she scratched me on my face. And when she did that, I went into my room. Chris Kikuchi: Why did you have a conflict?Daniel Garcia: Huh?Chris Kikuchi: Why did you have a conflict with her?Daniel Garcia: Because I was eating McDonald's and she wanted my dinner because she was hungry. ‘Share your hamburger with me.' ‘Share this with me.' ‘Do this with me.' And I said, ‘You need to leave. You don't even live here.' And she grabbed one of my beers and I grabbed it back and she went [[makes scratching noise]]. Like a cat. Chris Kikuchi: What did you do?Daniel Garcia: I went inside. I didn't want no fight with a girl. Katie Nelson: A reasonable, and plausible, explanation as to why Garcia's DNA was under Saba's fingernails.Wandruff and Kikuchi has just spent two hours in a room with a man who they thought was the killer, and now this? Countless hours of planning, a three hour drive to Fresno, all leading up to this moment of … what, exactly?Was it really time to give up? Was this the last lead, the last hope for this case?Another half hour went by. Investigator Wandruff again reminded Garcia that his DNA was on Saba. “She scratched me,” he replied matter-of-factly. Wandruff pulled out a photo of Saba's tombstone. Garcia looked at it, but denied he had done anything to her. Daniel Garcia: I don't know man, I didn't do it. Nate Wandruff: Didn't do what?Daniel Garcia: This right here. I know what that is. It's a tombstone. I've been telling you. I don't know what happened to her. I didn't do this right here. I would never take anybody's life. Katie Nelson: Perhaps, this was it. Perhaps this was, in fact, the end. Perhaps, Saba's killer had once again slipped free. One last shot. Asking, simply, for the truth. Nate Wandruff: How do you want to be perceived? How do you want people to look at you behind this incident?Chris Kikuchi: Just the truth. That's all we want. Katie Nelson: And then … something incredible happened. Daniel Garcia: I don't even know if I'm going to walk out of this room right now. I got a lot to lose.[[End episode]] Thank you for listening to this episode of The Silicon Valley Beat: Major Crimes.

Buckle up! The Dudes kick this episode into high gear to discuss John Carpenter's 1983 adaptation of Stephen King's novel about a ravenous roadster with a motive for murder. Yup, we're talking about that candy apple red 1953 Plymouth Fury, CHRISTINE, and you better watch what you say, cause she's real sensitive.

There's something about your first love, and there's something about your first car. Stephen King found an interesting way to tap into that with his novel "Christine," and John Carpenter found an interesting way to develop it even further in his 1983 adaptation. Sure, the car may be possessed, but Arnie sure falls for his car... and she for him. It's an interesting take, and one we delve into this week. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Stephen King series with Carpenter's "Christine." We talk about our first experiences with this film and how that compared with our recent viewings of it and whether the film held up or not. We discuss the performances — Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, Harry Dean Stanton and more — and how well they worked... or didn't. We chat about the car — the beautiful iterations of the Plymouth Fury that they blend together to create this possessed automobile -- and how she's one of the strongest pieces of the film, particularly the magical scene where Christine rebuilds herself. We touch on script problems, particularly the struggle we have with Christine's reasoning for her kills. And we talk about what John Carpenter brings to the table, and if it holds up with some of his other films made at this time. Andy ends up liking this film more than Pete, but we both have a great time talking it up. Check it out!* * *Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we're doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it's just a nice thing to do.
