Night Shift Double Feature (Children of the Corn & Maximum Overdrive)

In this bonus episode, we head on down to the 80s cinema for a Night Shift double feature: Children of the Corn and Maximum Overdrive. Both films are based on short stories from horror maestro Stephen King and both feature a veritable who's who of 80s character actors. They're both fun and not to be taken too seriously given the subject material of killer kids and killer semis.

Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the films, The Shining controversy, and King's works.
