Junkfood Cinema: Killer Kars from Interstates

De Laurentiis Entertainment

Fasten your safety belts, junkies, because this week’s episode…wait, no. Don’t fasten the seat belt at all. Get out of that car immediately! It’s sentient, it’ll destroy you! IT’S WHAT EVIL DRIVES!!!

Luckily, what drives me and Cargill is our love for strange filmic subgenres, not the least of which being the fuel-injected, tire-squealing landscape of killer car flicks. On this week’s episode, we veer into oncoming excellence; popping the hood on five of our favorite vicious vehicles from cinema past. We also park the show momentarily to stare aghast at the sheer audacity of Stephen King’s incendiary remarks during the Maximum Overdrive trailer.

Don’t idle, you’ve got the green light to download another high octane edition of Junkfood Cinema.

You should follow Brian (@Briguysalisbury), Cargill (@Massawyrm), and the show (@Junkfoodcinema).
