Episode Details

We watched John Carpenter’s Christine and were treated to some good, old fashioned, car calendar porn.

Synopsis

A nerdy young man named Arnie (Keith Gordon) finds his soulmate in a 1958 Plymouth Fury. He rebuilds the car and in-turn rebuilds himself as a confident, independent lad.

You Arnie notices that girls are now attracted to him, and this turns him into a force of nature. But the real force of nature seems to be his car, nicknamed Christine.

Christine seems to have a life of her own, a life centered around taking life from others. 

Arnie’s mom and dad are worried about him, his friends are worried about him, and even his hot stuff girlfriend is worried about him. 

Anyone who crosses Arnie, though, is worried about Christine.

Everyone get’s more classic cars than they bargained for.

Review

This coming of age tale is the inverse Stephen King screenplay to the movie we reviewed last week, Carrie, where a young girl gets her period and subsequently murders her whole school. 

In Christine, we see a nerdy young man get that big dick energy when he finds something to obsess over, which is strangely true-to-life for males.

Best of all, the ending sequence takes place on New Years Eve!

Christine isn’t the silver screen powerhouse that Carrie is
