I will say, at least this movie has a bangin' soundtrack 🧑🎤 🎸
"Dino De Laurentiis presents…" Ah, the mark of quality
I need a GIF of the marquee going "FUCK" blink "YOU"
I feel like if machines were going to become sentient and evil in the 80s, surely the greatest danger would be the thermonuclear warheads and not, like, the ATM
Paging @ifixcoinops…we got a couple pinball machines need fixin'…
incidentally, The Brave Little Toaster came out literally the year after this. I was scared of the air conditioner (https://youtu.be/VUcuHUvI1UI).

I thought you all were joking but that literally is the actress who voices Lisa Simpson playing the bride in this movie
everyone trying to figure out the "rules" of which machines go evil and which don't: bless your little hearts
"You're cute." Lady, you somehow have a mullet
They blew that truck up for real. That's how you know they spent serious money making this.
Lmao at the trucks honking triumphantly
"That's what I was doing before every machine in the world went into maximum overdrive." THAT'S THE NAME OF THE SHOW
The beer has been Cracked Open. (Burdock Brewery's Château, for any local listeners.)
Aw yiss, annoying asshole died
I think Truck Stop Waitress With a Rocket Launcher was signed to Sub Pop, right?
tbh, if you had to pick any band to be the sole soundtrack artist for a movie about evil sentient 18-wheelers, AC/DC is a pretty good fit
this is probably the closest I'll ever come to watching Cars
Oooh, truck stop boy done figured it out!
Woman Who Can't Stop Talking Annoyingly Because She's a Woman is one of my least favourite fictional tropes, from Ioreth on out
so you were clearly aware of nuclear weapons and yet chose not to incorporate that into the plot, interesting
I maintain that while this movie may have been stupid and bad, it is still not the stupidest and worst movie we have watched for #Monsterdon. Why, there wasn't even any poorly executed day-for-night.
F in chat for the cinematographer's eye.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia, @miru for the stream, and all of you for making this actually funny
@nev maybe they want to keep the planet usable afterward
