A lil’ message from the Big Guy to thank y'all for all the kind messages you’ve been sending his way since yesterdays‘s big anniversary. 🥰

Happy Splatterday, Patreon Pals!
In honor of Scream weekend, I thought we’d go with JB’s favorite Wes Craven film. (Love Potion #9 is really cute, too, but it’s all about The Serpent & the Rainbow here. 🥰) I wasn’t familiar with Wanda Jackson before this, but I did a lil’ research on her after watching this interview & she is kind of a badass!! She‘s still touring and making music as of last year!
JB also makes a love potion of his own in this ep. He...

(In honor of the 40th anniversary of his first ever movie review, which is officially January 15, here’s an article where some guy named John Bloom introduces the world to our favorite Drive-In critic, Joe Bob Briggs. Also included is that debut review for “The Grim Reaper”…what a way to start!! 😋 Below is a rough transcription of both, because reading the picture version isn’t the most convenient thing ever. 😉❤️❤️)

Hiya, homies! Getting back on track with our lil’ audio updates…Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far, and Happy Scream Day to all who celebrate! 😋

Happy Wednesday, Patreon Pals! Tonight we have a really fun episode from “Emmanuelle“ Week featuring the truly iconic Ms. Monique Gabrielle (with the equally iconic Mr. Steve Barnett 😉).
I‘ve gotta dig up the rest of Emmanuelle week for ya, because this series has a vast history that needs to be explored…deeply. 😉 If JB hasn’t made a chart explaining all the different Emanuelle/Emmanuelle movies (which are still being made to this day!), I’ll m...

Hiya, homies! I get an awful lotta questions about how merch works here, so I’m gonna try to explain it the best I can. Hopefully this will clear things up a little. 🥰
1st Merch Item- After you complete your first full month, I will personally ship you one of our Patreon-exclusive Blu-Rays. Currently I’m sending out Vol. 2, but I rotate those around. (Volume 3 will be coming out soon and that will become the first month’s shipment, for example.)
Happy Splatterda, Homies!! 🥰
Writing you from our Minneapolis show tonight while JB eats his din din. (NOT at a Cracker Barrel for once. 😉)
This is a very special ep where they went to an Air Force Base in honor of Rusty’s pre-show gig. (I doubt JB‘s gonna be exploring the “ins and outs” of my pre-show gig anytime soon… 😉)
Here are those tim...

Greetings, Patreon Pals! I found this lil’ special about Drive-Ins in the vault, and I thought you might enjoy checking it out. 🥰
Finally on my way to Minneapolis after a looooong delay, but I plan on doing a talkie update with JB later tonight for you. (Assuming he’s not super cranky after his also way-delayed flight. 😋)
Enjoy, and happy Friday, friends! ❤️

JOE BOB’S WISDOM ON PARADE
(A lil‘ throwback to one of JB’s classic columns, originally published December 9, 1988)
Bobby Bohannon lived down at the end of 34th Street in Texarkana, Ark., where the road petered out and became gravel and then mud and then a soybean field. Bobby's was the last house before the soybean field, and it wasn't much of a house. Didn't even have a screen door on it, and his concrete porch had a crack three feet wide where we'd...

Happy Humpday, Homies!! I have got a doozy of an ep for you tonight!!
Lance Henriksen is one of my forever crushes (right up there with Tom Atkins & Rick Moranis 🥰), and this interview with him is AMAZING! JB says it’s one of his all-time faves, and he’d kill yo have him as a guest again on TLDI (as would I!! 😋)
Enjoy, and have an awesome rest of the week! ❤️

Greetings, Patrons! I wanted to let you know about a new feature we’re adding starting…last month. 😉
I always have lots of random goodies laying about that, while I’m grateful to have them, would make me even happier if I were able to share them with you guys.
So another lil’ fun thing we are gonna start doing is a random drawing at the end of each month. Last month‘s prize (and what prompted this idea in the first place) was a gift box courtesy of “This Game’s Ca...

Here’s a very special NYE episode you can include in your festivities this week. Although it’s not “the” NYE episode I’d hoped to find (he swears there was a New Year’s special with actual nekkidity!), it’s still super cute & festive.

I don’t know about you, but I’m still in full -on Christmas mode this week. I’m not ready for the loooooong holiday season of Halloween (which “officially” starts the day after Labor Day 😉) through New Year’s to be over yet! I’m sure after New Year’s Day I’ll be able to ease back into normal mode, but for now I’m still Christmas-ing my ❤️ out!

I was hoping this was going to be a holiday ep bc it aired in December, but alas it Is not. These are still 2 great movies, though!
He does say something perplexing in this one that I’m hoping someone out there can help me figure out. Near the end, he promos the following week’s show, and says he’s going to be showing NotLD, the original & the remake. He’s SWORN to me he’s never hosted the original, and...

Santa Claws – Dec. 12, 1996

A lil’ late posting this one bc I fell asleep in the middle of prepping it. 😋 I had a longer than expected flight from LA to Chicago, but I’m here now and ready for our show at The Music Box tomorrow night.

Happy Splatterday, Patreon Pals! Tonight I have not one but 2 holiday specials for you!
This was included on the 1st Edition of our Patreon Blu-Ray, but I figure there are a lot of folks who haven‘t gotten to see it yet. For those who have, I’m currently prepping Monstervision ep #2 for tonight, which I’ll be posting within the next hour or so.
Enjoy what had become one of my all-time favorite eps, and I’ll be back with another one shortly. 🥰

Here’s your bit o’ Random Radness for the week! 🥰
I can’t believe there was ever a time when Porky Pig was being canceled. To me, it seems important to represent “animals” with all sorts of disabilities. The more we see all the differences that exist, the less they start to matter. I’m glad Porky’s still here and stuttering with pride! 🐷🖤
Howdy Homies! Here’s a new Takkie update fer ya…Just a reminder, that email is TheLostDriveIn@gmail.com. 🥰
