Episode 19 - Maximum Overdrive vs. Trucks

In this episode of Chopping It Up, we dive into the world of killer vehicles with a double feature review of Maximum Overdrive (1986) and its lesser-known Canadian counterpart, Trucks (1997). Stephen King’s only directorial effort delivers camp, chaos, and a killer AC/DC soundtrack, while Trucks takes a more serious (and significantly tamer) approach to the same story. Which version delivers the most mayhem? Which one runs out of gas? And why does Canada always have the budget-friendly alternative? Buckle up as we break down the carnage, the camp, and the killer big rigs!

🎧 Tune in, and let’s talk terror on wheels!
