(skip to 10:15 for Maximum Overdrive talk)

A surprise twist makes this the scariest episode of Log It! yet. We discuss the 1986 drug-induced coma dream from Stephen King, Maximum Overdrive. Before that, Last Four, then, a trip down memory lane to discuss some of the scary movies that imprinted on us in our youth.

Then we floor it for Maximum Overdrive, diving into King’s borderline cursed experience on the film, his state of mind, his experience working with producer Dino De Laurentis, and King’s obsession with The Shining and nuclear bombs in space. ACDC did the score, and we like that.

We explore the film’s odd connections to Blue Velvet, Bruce Springsteen, and The Simpsons.

Plus who lost an eye during production? Who did King really want to play the lead? (Sorry Emilio!)

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 11:40:26 GMT

This week on Log It! Angelo and Caleb take you through their Last Four before ~~diving deep~~ flying high into the 2022 blockbuster, Tom Cruise's Tog Gun: Maverick.

But First, Angelo discusses seeing the Meg 2. We pitch the 80's action heroverse. Angelo discusses some odd coincidences in his movie watching. Is synchronicity creeping into streaming?

Then, we free fall into Maverick, Tom Cruise’s standout blockbuster. We discuss it's unaged and unaging stars, the undeniable chemistry, and the next-level action. Caleb explains his theory on why Top Gun: Maverick has stood out from the rest of the recent Hollywood Blockbuster crop. We also discuss what might've been if Tom Cruise hadn't accepted the role of Maverick, why Top Gun 2 didn't happen in the 80's, and why it did happen in the 20.

We do our best not to overthink it on this week’s Log It!

On this week's episode of LI-AMP, Angelo and Caleb bravely march forward without Ian. But first, we lament the modern movie going experience, and discuss each other's brush with the Barbenheimer phenomenon (or BarbenHAIMer perhaps?). We relive the trauma of watching 2001 as a child, and the insanity of it's G rating. We investigate Imax LieMax controversy, and whether or not Oppenheimer suffers from the Nolan Effect. Finally Caleb pitches Angelo on the Twilight Renaissance and the franchise's value in the modern era.

Finally we set sail with Moby Dick,1956. We discuss Ray Bradbury’s experience writing the film with John Huston, Gregory Peck’s turn as Ahabram Lincoln and the controversy around his performance, the incredible special effects, and immersive directing of John Huston.

SPOILERS

This week the Log It! AMP universe expands as we experiment with our first special, with a returning guest/serious Indy fan, Angelo(aka @cinesplice). This week we skip the last four and jump straight into the snake pit that is the Indiana Jones Franchise. We spend some time reminiscing about the first four films (putting up a brave defense of Crystal Skull) talking favorite villains, favorite indie reveals, and potential actors that nearly wore the fedora and cracked the whip. =

Finally we focus our gaze on Indy's latest adventure, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Ian and Angelo take their time taking Caleb through the events of the film. Hopping from crazy moment to crazy moment. Again spoilers. We discuss it's rank among all the Indy films and whether or not the criticism its been receiving is fair. And ultimately we decide - can indy still crack it?

Finally, the conversation moves to Scott Pilgrim and his evil exes. The Log It crew discusses favorite fights and some fun trivia about the movie (Is this based on a movie? Who was originally supposed to play the Vegan Police? And who wrote all those great tunes?) Also investigate who is the real main character of the film, and try to think of when the last great music performer focused film was.

Ian questions how much negative movie press affecting his movie watching experience, and whether it's worth paying attention to at this point? Does the cooking in Chef live up to the hype?
