Show Notes

Maybe it's your last day of work before the holidays. Or maybe you're traveling and you need something ridiculous to listen to while you're driving, or waiting in an airport. Never fear! A Cure for the Common Craig is here, with a year-end holiday treat for the listeners! Or is it? This movie doesn't exactly have a glowing reputation. But how can that possibly be the case? You have Stephen King directing, Emilio Estevez crawling through a sewer, the face of the Green Goblin on a truck, AC/DC rockin' on the soundtrack, and Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, nagging her newlywed husband, all in one movie! Guns, explosions, death by steamroller! What could possibly go wrong? It's time for testosterone overload, with Maximum Overdrive (1986)! We even manage to work in a minor Emilio Estevez actor autopsy! Because we love him. And then from there, the episode ends. And you enjoy your year-end holiday stuff and stay safe, damn it!
