One False Move & Dollman (Air Date: 8/28/93)

(Bridge 4:20, Outro 8:46) 

Happy Humpday, Homies!!

I feel like I’ve been a lil quiet here since my last Monstervision post, and for that I apologize. It’s been a hectic as heck week for me, but I only have one more day of insanity. After that I will be able to get properly caught up with comments messages/emails, and post our weekly audio update & JB’s throwback article. I’m hoping I will be done early enough tomorrow to be able to post much of that tomorrow n...

Poison Ivy (with movie) & Poison Ivy 2 (Air Date 8/15/98)

Hi, y’all!! Sorry this one is really late, but we’ve been working for hoooooours now to get this one put together for ya. Since Poison Ivy isn’t readily available anywhere, I wanted to add it with the host segments so it’s all ready to go for you. (I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this series, and it’s important to me that you see it!)

It wasn’t as easy as I’d anticipated (there were a bunch of tech issues!!), but *hopefully* it’s all ready to go now. I need a brea...

Interview with Sybil Danning

Howdy, Homies! Happy Friday!

I don’t have a lot of info on this one yet (when it aired, etc), but I’m working on that and will update you when I know more.

I wanted to post this for our Random Radness this week bc next week I go in to shoot ”Famous T&A” with Full Moon. I’m nervous as heck about that, but the Host of the first edition was Ms. Sybil herself, whom I loooooooove, so I’d just be a big ol’ piece o’ chicken poo if I turned it down out of fear. &nb...

Retro Review- Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter

Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In Retro Review: ‘Friday the 13th, Part 4’ Had Better Be Good — They’ve Made It Four Times

Please note: This column was originally published in the Dallas Slimes Herald on April 20, 1984.  Some things have changed since then.

    Remember when Betsy Palmer got her head sliced off with a machete and movie history was made? Course you do. We all do. I think all our lives were changed on June 13, 1...

Small Kill and Evil Toons (Air Date: 9/25/93)

(Bridge 4:19, Outro 9:04)

Happy Humpday, Homies, Part 2! 😉

Firstly, thanks so much for listening to my earlier post and emailing me instead of messaging me here. That helps so much!! ❤️

Secondly, I’d planned to throw a holiday ep at ya tonight, but I ran across this semi-nekkid goodness and obviously it took priority!! 😋 I asked him to bring this look back next season, so 🤞 the shirtless vest look will make a comeback!  😉

Thirdly, that pillow...

Talkie Time!

Hi, Homies! Here’s the first of a new weekly feature where I use my talkin’ voice to say howdy and update you with any Patreon/LDI/JB-related news that might be happenin’.

Hope you enjoy, and here’s that email for you:  TheLostDriveIn@gmail.com 🤠

It's Alive 3 & Look What Happened to Rosemary's Baby (Air Date: 8/02/97)

Happy Splatterday Night (ish 😉), Patreon Pals!  Sorry to get this up so late, but I’ve  been working on the sound and other technical aspects of this Monstervison all night, to try to make it the best it can be. I know Larry Cohen was a very important person to JB, so I wanted to recover as much of this episode as possible. That being said, the sound for the first 30 seconds is pretty rough, but after that it should be good to go. I hope you enjoy it, and that the rest of your ...

The Many Faces of Joe Bob (Christmas 1990)

Happy Black Friday, Mutants!

I start celebrating Christmas on Nov. 1 at around noon (it helps chase away those post-Halloween blues 😉), but I think today is the day when it’s officially acceptable by “normie“ standards to get your festive freak on! 🥰

Expect lots of horrorday merriment ‘round these parts in the coming weeks, and to get things started off right, here’s  The Last Drive-In Christmas card from 1990. (It is now officially my mission to track down th...

Thanksgiving Special w/ Hudson Hawke & Ishtar (Air Date: 11/25/92)

(Bridge 5:22, Outro 7:53)

Happy Tofurkey Day!! Here’s an extra serving of holiday happiness for you. 🥰

I know it’s not Drive-In Theater Day, but this Thanksgiving special aired exactly 29 years ago today. I figured we could celebrate its anniversary together. 😉

Hope your holiday has been great! Sending lots of Thanksgiving love your way…from both of us!

Robot Monster and Bride of Monster (Air Date: 11/17/90)

(Bridge 5:08, Outro 8:38)

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Patreon Pals!!

I enjoy anything that’s even vaguely holiday themed, but I’m gonna have to disagree with JB (and MST3K 😉) about these being “turkeys”. To me, they are absolute classics. They’re "bad” movies that are more entertaining than most "good" movies. What they lacked in funds (and common sense), they made up for with imagination and pulpy thrills. I even went to see the musical version of Robot Monster, s...

King Kong (1976 version…Air Date Nov. 1, 1996)

Happy Splatterday Night, homies!!

Tonight we have a single-movie ep of Monstervision for your viewing pleasure. JB said when this happened it usually meant there was an NBA Doubleheader, which sounds like the case here since he starts the night off bitchin’ ’bout B-Ball. 😋

Let’s take a look at those Time Codes, shall we? (Since there are no title cards, the spots to pause JB’s commentary are listed in () 😉.) 

Start the ...

Joe Bob Covers Cannes

Happy Friday, Patreon Pals! Here‘s your lil’ dose of Random Radness to get your weekend started off right. 🥰 

JB and I are in Irving, TX (where we usually shoot the show, btw) for the Preserve Halloween Fest all weekend. If you’re nearby come out and say howdy! It’s a first year con run by a really nice guy & I'm really hoping folks enjoy it.

Have a wonderful weekend, my marvelous Mutants! I’ll be back with a new/old Monstervision for you tomorrow night,...

Guns and Bikini Island (Air Date: 11/7/92)

(Bridge at 5:07, Outro at 9:55)

Happy Humpday, Homies! Tonight we have “Cleavage and Cleavers” night featuring the very first appearance of “Joe Bob’s Ex”, Sherry Dilday. I asked him about her backstory, and all he told me was that she was supposed to be “Cherry Dilday“ from his early columns, but the show got her name wrong. 😋 She’s played by actress Wendy MacDonald who was part of Scream Queen Month.

If you haven’t heard the news, our next Horrorday...

Our Very First “On the Road” Vid: The Perot Theatre

Happy Friday, Homies!

For your bit o’randon radness tonight, I present the very first vid I ever took of my travels with JB. This was when we were on our way to search for the Boggy Creek Monster (that vid’s up on YouTube if you wanna check it out), and I was hella nervous to be hanging out with (and shooting!!) one of my biggest heroes!  This was an unplanned stop and I had no idea why he wanted to go there, but I now know that’s typical of JB…He’s got a thousand stories...

#AskJoeBob

Here’s another installment of #AskJoeBob for you Patron Saints…Thanks for the question, Lucas! 

Also, gentle reminder that our next Discord watchalong will be happening on Sunday the 21st at 8pm ET. Go vote for what you want to see with JB in the Discord (and make it Thankskilling 3, please! 😉) 🖤🖤🖤🖤

The Hitman and Mister Frost (Air Date: 11/14/92)

(Bridge 4:55, Outro 8:44)

Apologies for the lateness of this week’s  Drive-In Theater,  but I had some problems with the upload and just now got it up. (If you know what I mean, and I think you do... 😉)

Hope you‘re having a wonderful week so far, Patreon Pals. JB and I will be in Atlanta this weekend for 2 performances of “How Rednecks Saved Hollywood“.  Hopefully I’ll be seeing some of you there! (He has a lil’ Chuck Norris section in the show, s...

Needful Things (Air Date: 11/14/98)

Update: Here are those time codes we promised you! Big thanks to our homie Ben Nagy gif helping out with these…Here’s a lil’ note he included to hopefully help make it easier for you to navigate:

“Here you’ll get much better results if you use the scene cut descriptions rather than the time codes since there was, oh, about an hour & a half more of the flick shown on TNT and that version’s really hard to come by.” 

(One of our Patreon Pals h...

Narrow World of Joe Bob Briggs (Air Date 11/92)

Happy Friday, Mutants!! Here’s your weekly dose of Random Radness to start your weekend off on a happy note.

I can’t imagine going to watch these movies in the theater, but I gotta admire the dude’s marketing strategy! 😋

Enjoy!! 🖤

How Rednecks Saved Hollywood

Hiya, Mutants! Next weekend we’ll be in Atlanta for 2 showings of “How Rednecks Saved Hollywood”. We ALWAYS get a lot of questions re. what the show is about, so I figured I’d repost this vid fer ya to give you a lil’ info.

I’ve also been hearing from a lot of folks who are confused about how to actually get tix, since the venue doesn’t sell ‘em directly from their site. They are listed on 2 different pages, but here are direct links to make it a little bit easier to fig...

The Lowdown on the Hoedown

Greetings, groovy ghoulies! On this edition of Geek Tawk, JB and I get caught you caught up on all that’s been happening in our lil’ world. We talk Halloween Hoedown, The Walking Dead, and Halloween Horror Nights…along with some less important stuff.  ;)

 Thanks for listening!

Cliffhanger, Liar's Edge, & Fit to Kill (Air Date: 10/21/95)

(Bridge 5:23, Outro 12:45)

Happy Hump Day, Homies!!

Here‘s your midweek JB fix fer ya. Hope you had a Happy Halloweekend & that you aren’t feeling those November blues too hard. Remember that every season is spooky if you’re a mutant…Halloween is just when the normies see things our way. 😉

if you missed it, here’s the Halloween pod I did with friend of the show (and Things” superfan 😉) Chris Jericho:

The Funhouse and Poltergeist (Air Date: 4/3/99)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HOMIES!!

Today JB and I were at Scare Faire in Victorville early in the day, then we drove to Redlands to host a screening of The Funhouse. I love this movie, and I love that we got to go into a Tobe Hooper deep dive after the show. It was fun to rewatch this cl-ass-sick with a group, but I did notice that Joe Bob’s breast count was off. I brought up this important subject, which lead to a discussion about whether the dancing ladies With pasties should count. I s...

1-900-4JOEBOB, Round 2

Greetings, Patreon Pals!! Tonight was our big The Walking Dead special. Hope you got a chance to check that out. It was very different for us, but very fun! 

For your Random Radness tonight I have another installment of 1-900-4JOEBOB. These are the lil’ rants you got for $2.99/minute if you called JB’s 900 # back in the 90s. I never heard these back then because all my 900 # money went...

Dracula Rising and Dance of the Damned (Air Date: 10/30/93)

(Bridge: 4:32, Outro: 8:49)

Howdy, Homies! So sorry this is late but I just wrapped a really fun Halloween podcast (I’ll tell you about later 🎃).

I was sooooo excited when I found this one. The date is the only clue as to what's on this particular tape, and it's Halloween Eve 1993. Joe Bob hosting Drive-In theater on Halloween Eve?? Surely this will be a classic Halloween Special, I thought…

Welp, let me just give you those Drive-In totals: 4 junk food grizzly bears i...

               JOE BOB’S AMERICA 10/26/21

By Joe Bob Briggs

    PHILADELPHIA—Along about 1 a.m. people start showing up on my tv with incurable, often life-threatening, ailments—frightening medical conditions that I usually haven’t even heard of—confiding in me with “end of my rope” stories while beautiful soft-focus camerawork illustrates their predicament...

#AskJoeBob

Howdy, Homies! Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for the Creature from the Black Lagoon watchalong last night. In the immortal words of Stu Macher, “It was fun!”

Here’s another edition of #AskJBB for you, this time from our friend EZ Rider. ❤️ Remember that posting your questions in the comments here, or emailing me at TheLostDriveIn@gmail.com is the easiest way to get ‘em to us. Keep ‘em coming, Patreon Pals! ❤️❤️

They Live & Immortal Combat with Special Guest Roddy Piper (Air Date 8/8/98)

It’s still Splatterday night in El Lay, right? When you’re at a con time no longer has meaning… 😋

I fell asleep in the midst of posting this earlier (right after watching AEW with JB which, lemme tell ya, was quite the treat! 😋), but better a wee late than never, right? 😉

This is one of my all-time favorite Monstervision eps (and quite possibly my absolute favorite!) It’s pretty readily available online but I have to think there’s still some of you who haven’t...

Night Patrol and Diplomatic Immunity w/ Pat Paulsen (Air Date: Halloween 1992)

Happy Friday, Patreon Pals! Here’s your Random Bit o’Radness to get your weekend started out right…It’s a Drive-In Theater Halloween Special (sort of 😉).

Joe Bob has the great Pat Paulsen SB (Smothers Brothers) on to tackle the tough issues that Clinton, Bush and Perot refuse to discuss.

Bridge 4:53

Enjoy…and thanks to everyone who came out to Day 1 of Monster Mania! Looking forward to seeing even more of you beautiful Mutants tomorrow. �...

Forever, Hellraiser 3 and Kalifornia (Air Date 2/25/95)

(Intro, Bridge at 3:55, Outro at 10:04)

Happy Humpday, Homies! Here’s your midweek JB fix fer ya. I’m packing up to head back to Pennsylvania for Monster Mania, Round 2, but first let’s raise a lil’ Hell… 😉

It‘s listed here as Hellraiser 2, but it’s actually Hellraiser 3, which I think is pretty underrated. He also mentions that he konsiders Kalifornia to be a “guy” movie, but I really dig that one. If you haven’t seen it, definitely check it out.
