Christine (1983) f/ Josh Mosley

Buckle up and crank that old time rock 'n roll, Stephen King fans, because it's time to tackle John Carpenter's adaptation of the killer-car novel Christine. On this episode, King expert Josh Mosley joins Chris and Nick to discuss Carpenter's comeback film after the box-office disappointment of his magnum opus, The Thing. Is the cinematic Master of Horror up to the task of bringing King's wildly popular work to the screen? Or does the film, about a 50s-vintage Plymouth Fury that's as evil as it is beautiful, belong in the junk pile behind Darnell's garage? We have some thoughts on where this movie stands in both the Carpenter canon and the pantheon of Stephen King films, and we also run down some of Christine's most memorable moments -- much like Christine herself runs down anyone who crosses nerd-turned-badass Arnie Cunningham!
