Folks it is now one hour until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. That's a couple thousand toots comin' at you, so if you want to avoid it, now's a good time to set up a filter.
If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (1986), Stephen King's one and only turn as a movie director and hoooo boy is there a reason for that. Should be a blast :D
The flick is free on Tubi over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100010458/maximum-overdrive
Or you can download in advance from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/maximum.-overdrive.-1986.1080p.-blu-ray.x-264-psychd
Just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along! See you there :D
Roughly ten minutes remain on the ol' #Monsterdon countdown. Best get your snack lined up and your movie cued up if you're fixin' to join. Or get your filter up if you're not.
Either way, godspeed and good luck.
