x82 MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (2/21/98)

MOVIE
Yee Haw. Hold on racing fans. Sunday Sunday Sunday We have the master of disaster, Green Goblin vs. the black sheep of the Sheen family, Emilio Estevez. Thriil as he make you ill with his poor sexuality. Marvel at his red neck boss, Bubba. Cry as you hear the shrill voice of Yeardly Smith. In tonights feature bout, A comet passed close to Earth and the Earth floats over into the tail of it. Unknown to folks, except for super-brainiac Emilio, there was an alien craft hidden in the trail of the comet that takes over all the machines on Earth. Well mostly just big rigs and lawmowers. Ohh yeah, a soda machine and an electric carving knife. No machines that control better weapons or anything were bothered with. Everyone finds there way to a cafe' owned by said Bubba. Here they all defend themselves from the trucks using a small arsenal that Bubba has been stockpiling. In the end, they just wait till the comet leaves and a Russian sub-orbitial platform blows the craft outta the sky. The End. Please remember, you hafta pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!
