In 2003, legendary director Lawrence Kasdan teamed with legendary screenwriter William Goldman, for a big-budget adaptation of a novel by legendary horror novelist Stephen King. And the result was… also legendary. But for different reasons than they might have hoped. On this episode, legendary (at least to us!) comics artist and writer Evan Dorkin joins us to discuss one of the most inexplicable flops of the 2000’s — DREAMCATCHER!

Max Fun Drive 2026 is over, and normally we’d be back to our “one full ep one mini” schedule, but we had too many good guests lined up, so you’re getting another maxi this week AND next. That’s why they call us Peaches. (Editor’s note: there’s no particularly good reason we’re called The Peaches.) First up, our pal/amazing movie director/special effects wizard Steven Kostanski joins us to discuss a movie he kinda liked: RETURN TO SILENT HILL. Will the rest of us agree?

We close out Max Fun Drive 2026 with some true pain. Stuart’s proclaimed “least favorite movie,” 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS, a supposed “sexy romcom” that’s actually a melange of unfunny shenanigans, poisonous attitudes, nothing that resembles actual human behavior, and (trigger warning) some unacknowledged sexual assault. It’s… a lot. But at least it led to a funny episode — like a flower, blooming from a pile of shit.

We’re in the swing of Max Fun Drive 2026, and for “Dan’s pick” of our 3 special MFD episodes, he’s taking us back to 2002 when the internet felt new and we were all logging on to FEARDOTCOM, or — more accurately — feardotcom.com (just listen to the episode). Join us as we surf the fear-web!
