1. What’s a trailer you saw at the cinema as a kid that convinced your tiny child mind that this must be The. Best. Film. Ever. Extra points if you got to see the actual film afterwards. Even more points if the film was terrible. (Cannonball aka CARQUAKE! was not)

OUT NOW! @thelastmachine.bsky.social joins to discuss Speed Zone, theoretically a third entry in the Cannonball Run series. Can three SCTV alumni save a film with no story or jokes? Why do we keep doing this? We think it had something to do with something called Carquake? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Can't speak for the trailer, but the poster for Carquake / Giant Spider Invasion sold this double bill to me and my brother. And yes, we went to see it

Perfectly good title, but they renamed it CARQUAKE in the UK, which I think is *much* better. Good fun under any title, though!

Ever see that other Bartel/Corman/Carradine cross country road race movie, Cannonball (Carquake in the UK)?
It is! A film! That was made!

An odd group of racers partake in an illegal street race from LA to NY. This movie came out a whole 5 years before Cannonball Run did the same concept more successfully! 1/2
