Rev up, “Hell’s Bells,” because tonight on Nightcaps at the Theater we are watching the panned Stephen King classic Maximum Overdrive (1986). Guest Star, Daniel Ryan, brings an immaculate pick for “Critically Panduary” with a film swerving around the human/truck struggle to survive. Will these, dumb as bricks, humans be able to defend the Dixie Boy, or is there gonna blood on the pavement? It doesn’t matter if we made them! They are Big! They are Loud! And they are hungry for Diesel and Revenge!
