Last Call Blog | Retro Review: Remember the First Time Joe Bob Acted?
Joe Bob’s feature-film de-butt actually got cut. The full story is in the long out-of-print “Joe Bob Goes Back to the Drive-In,” but he was still stinging from being chopped out of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2” when he reviewed it.
Last Call Blog | The Last Drive-In | Season Two-o, Week 7 — Mayhem

Last Call Blog | The Last Drive-In | Season Two-o, Week 5 — The Exorcist III
There’s a carp swimming back and forth in my tub. And I want to kill it. Friday night my drive-in dreams came true. No, Joe Bob didn’t come out in hot pants doing the Native American dance he learned as a young Eagle Scout in Texarkana. He showed Exorcist III, not as good as the original […]
