The Last Drive-In: Season 4, Week 10: Uncle Sam and Nightbreed
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) In conjunction with the Fourth of July holiday, the latest season of the Last Drive-In went out with a bang similar to the one that put the producers of Uncle Sam on the front page of the local paper where the flick was filmed because its climactic explosive […]
The Last Drive-In: Season Four, Week 9: Head of the Family and Habit
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) Sad and happy. Dark and light. Big and little. East Coast and West Coast. “Indie” and studio. Slimy tongue boobie licking and aardvarking against a NYC monument. Surely never has a more stark listing in contrasts been compiled in the annals of American film analysis before now, and […]
Last Call blog: The Last Drive-In — Season 4, Weeks 7 & 8: Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker, The Baby, The Stepfather and The Freakmaker
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) Sorry for the absence of a Last Call blog post last week. Very few words could do justice to the experience of Arrested Development Week when we got to see one of Big Steve King’s Top Five faves (circa 1984) and the, um, unique experience that was The […]
The Last Drive-In: Season Four, Week Six: The Monster Club and Hellbender
Art by T.J. Denton @TDenton_1138 on Twitter. As we start down the hill toward the conclusion of Season 4, we got a rant for the ages and a rave to die for. And that was just during the first feature. Long-timers on the Patreon would know that Joe Bob did The Monster Club in his […]
The Last Drive-In: Season Four, Week Five: Slaughterhouse and Tenebrae
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138) on Twitter. We officially hit the halfway point in the fourth season of The Last Drive-In with “Junk Food Night,” a double-feature celebration of animal processing, hot dogs (neither of which are Darcy’s favorite topic by any stretch) and giallo-colored mustard. The first flick was Slaughterhouse, a throwback late-stage slasher […]
The Last Drive-In: Season Four, Week Four: The Nosfera-two-fer
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) There were a ton of firsts going on as we all got together and celebrated the 100th anniversary of F.W Murnau’s Nosferatu. It was the first time an original flick and then a remake were played back-to-back on the Last Drive-In. It was the first time we got […]
The Last Drive-In: Season Four, Week Three: The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and Housebound
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138) on Twitter. A lesser show would have gone with the expected. We’re talking the low-hanging fruit that a bullfrog with one leg in a cast could still jump up and get — it’s Friday the 13th, so let’s play a couple flicks that happen in Crystal Lake, N.Y., where some […]
The Last Drive-In — Season Four, Week Two: Black Sunday and Def by Temptation
With the help of copious visual aids, two great flicks and earthy Eastern European alcoholic beverages (not necessarily in that order), a movement was born outside the trailer on the second week of The Lost Drive-In as Joe Bob and Darcy initiated a movement. And what a movement it is. I think we all can […]
The Last Drive-In — Season Four, Week Uno: Night of the Living Dead and Anthropophagus
Like that human-sized cicada from The Beast Within or the grown dude that emerges very painfully from that prone lady in Xtro, we emerged from our Last Drive-in offseason dormancy, and lo and behold, lookie here, we find out that it’s been 100 flicks (give or take because math in Grapevine is different than other […]
The Last Drive-In | Heartbreak Trailer Park
As always, T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) is responsible for the art! At the Heartbreak Trailer Park, you get it all … and you don’t even have to spend any of the estimated $13.29 billion that folks dump into the economy for Valentine’s Day. Well, that is, UNLESS your Shudder subscription ended up needing to […]
