Before Black Panther and Donald Trump, before sparkly vampires and tax evasion, there were “some mother truckers trying to ice skate uphill” in Blade. It’s been 20 years since Wesley Snipes uttered the words, “It’s open season on all suck- heads,” in the 1998 vampire flick by New Line Cinema. Remember, this …

I’ve written about Maximum Overdrive before, and I’m beginning to realize that I’m pretty obsessed with the film. I was lucky enough to remember when it came out, and witnessed firsthand the crazy trailer with the Halloween 3 music, the glowing Green Goblin eyes, and the crazy -ooking dude that …
