#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Bye bye Bubba.

#Monsterdon

Deke is played by a pretty good child actor who is now the narrator of the Michael Wolff video documentary about TACO #monsterdon

Thank you autonomous machine gun, that was necessary #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

lmao they're hostages

also i think we've confirmed the trucks are sentient and autonomous

#monsterdon

Roadtwitch is a weird Autobot name.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

That does not sound like a diesel engine revving. Sounds like a track car.

#monsterdon

this premise really just needed to be a five minute youtube short film

#monsterdon

I think Truck Stop Waitress With a Rocket Launcher was signed to Sub Pop, right?

#Monsterdon

Of course the kid is an Eagle Scout.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

"...it's morse code for ..... no way .... drink more ovaltine!"

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Wanda with the “Toxic Helicopter Mom” energy #Monsterdon

"Paige! NO!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon bish are you still on this bs omg your kids must hate you

Wanda nooooo! #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

No, not she Miller!!!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Do I even need to say anything about how impossible it is mechanically for a truck to drive itself, turn itself on, machine guns to fire themsevles, etc.. This is the dumbest plot of all time...

Seriously, if you ever owned a 70s or 80s car, you know this gratuitous destruction of them is cathartic.

#Monsterdon

Good God not the Miller Beer!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

So much for Miller Time. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

NOOOO NOT THE BEER TRUCK #monsterdon

Hender's been SHOT! Woohoo! Monster's gone now #Monsterdon can be over now

NO!!! NOT THE BEER!??!!!

#monsterdon

SONSABITCHES! WE MADE YOU! BUMPUSES!

#monsterdon

THEY BLEW UP MILLER :D

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

You know, Bubba is a shit stain of the first order, but at least he actually told the kid. And was the first one to show him any sympathy.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

"Hey Mr. White I think there--"

#Monsterdon

damn they didn't even let her have her moment. rude

#monsterdon

seems like he got hendershot

#Monsterdon

Aw yiss, annoying asshole died

#Monsterdon

okay, see, this is why we shouldn't make weaponized autonomous robots #monsterdon

Bye Bubba #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

@sakhavi Oh wow, cue one for the underdog.

#Monsterdon

The growling is a nice touch.

And by nice I mean, "cheesy as hell, but at least consistent with it's batshit premise."

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

yES ANGRY WAITRESS WIELD THAT BAZOOKA

#monsterdon

#monsterdon did. Did the gun just growl?

@davesdogmaggie The found the most anglo kid they could find. #monsterdon

Not an ancient sacred machine burial ground #monsterdon

I always appreciate when the Monster uses Strategy....

#Monsterdon

well that slimmed down the payroll

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Morse Code from a truck???
So the Miller truck went up like it was carrying hooch. Not even high point beer can do THAT.

Very polite of no one to comment on the rescue team being drenched in raw sewage

#Monsterdon

So is the vehicle operating the gun? or is the gun acting autonomously?

#monsterdon

@whiskeysailor the real horror

#monsterdon

#monsterdon nooo Mr hendershot oh well

My Transformers: The Movie-fried brain: "First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!"

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The truckstop has been breached!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@jsit what is this silly little thing 😆 #Monsterdon

Bye Bubba. You will not be missed. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

does that count as breaking the fourth wall? #monsterdon

Is that a G-3 on the small vehicle?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Bulldozer says “Hold My Beer” #Monsterdon
https://mastodon.social/@Cherizilla/114888786216736392

good things m72s famously have no backblast or his leg would be gone

#monsterdon

Can anyone give me a timestamp for where y'all are?

#monsterdon

Having a bible salesman threatening to drag a small boy to his death in a muddy ditch is another really Stephen King thing.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

I was wondering when they would realize that walls aren't impenetrable #monsterdon

Um... did that truck just scream in pain? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon kid says “I feel like the trucks could’ve done that”

It's morse, what's it spelling out?

YOU
ARE
AN
ASSHOLE

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon wait I saw this in Airplane!

@sakhavi The little cart is trying its best!

#Monsterdon

this very silly vehicle is technically a tactical

#Monsterdon

CURIOSITY, NO!!!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

As far as I'm concerned, AC/DC is one of only two good things in this movie.

(The other is Yeardley Smith)

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon little cart thing tagging along behind the bulldozer like its hype man

this movie already feels like its gone on longer than it needs to

#monsterdon

Guys crawling, from both directions #Monsterdon

Welp, my dad's dead. Guess I'll play with these bubbles. #Monsterdon

yeah the hitchhiker has a new perm. guess she got it at the truck stop.

#monsterdon

Oh, they were just waiting for the specialists...

#Monsterdon

This is the comet I am referring to https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jul/03/nasa-interstellar-comet-solar-system-a11pl3z-3i-atlas #monsterdon

The Stepford Wives, soundtrack by St Vincent

I'd listen to that, tbh

#monsterdon

As someone who grew up in rural Ontario, AC/DC as the soundtrack was supposed to be cool.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I am developing sympathetic pinkeye right now, gaaaah I hate this no-exit claustrophobia shit! It's not really even that, it's the frikken mess! Ohhh god! LOL! Yuuuuck! ;)

NO KID THAT AGE EVER PLAYS WITH BUBBLES!

Geez!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the thrilling MEDIAN scene

Here comes trouble. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

See, if you don't step up and deal with something then a shithead goes and tells a kid their dad is dead very poorly....

#Monsterdon

That is also me most mornings, being riddled with bullet holes right after I have my tea by whatever chicken-shit project I have on the go.

#monsterdon

That kid grew up to be Dolf Lundgren.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I knew that was Lisa Simpson! Musta missed her name at the start.

"Road Twitch?" The steamrolled a kid and she couldn't say "Road Bitch?"#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

About time someone slapped that dude.

#Monsterdon

@amyfou I'll allow it

#Monsterdon

I love that King had to find a way to squeeze a kid to traumatize into this story.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

How does this movie still have 30 minutes‽
#monsterdon

road... _twitch_?

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Do you guys have any idea how illegal owning a rocket launcher is?

WATCH OUT FOR THAT BACKBLAST

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

So Connie talked to Holly about whether or not the truck got 'em that probably doesn't count as a Bechdel pass for purposes of bingo tonight, right?

Wow Stephen King sure loves piss jokes huh

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon for the love of god, the rocket launcher works EVERY TIME. JUST USE IT

The kid's gonna grow up to be John Conner.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

did the hitchhiker get a new perm

#monsterdon

I'm not sure what they hoped to accomplish by dropping a sleeping bag in there. Of course that sucker weighs a ton, you just soaked it in sewage, you stupid asshole.

#monsterdon

@kshernandez He needs a power though. Like he can set the trucks on fire with his mind or something.

#Monsterdon

well your dad's partly here, partly in kinda straggly bits runnin' up to the state line

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

casual RPG hipfire #monsterdon

Looking extremely forward to shrieking Lisa Simpson being hit by a truck #Monsterdon
