The Last Drive-In | Season Five, Week 5 and 5.5: The Mutilator, Possession and The Walkin Dead: Dead City special
To catch everybody up with the goings-on out at the Grapevine trailer, aka Last Drive-In Central, right before the resumption of the regularly scheduled festivities on Shudder, let me first remind everyone that tickets for the third annual Joe Bob’s Jamboree are available for purchase and have been since right after the mid-season break. It’s […]
The Last Drive-In: Season 5, Week 4: The Babadook and The Muthers
We celebrated all the Mutant moms out there with a maternally themed double-feature this past week on The Last Drive-In. And while the first flick on the bill was devoted to trying to figure out if there really was a Babadook (Joe Bob thinks it was all in Mom’s mind), it was followed up by […]
The Last Drive-In: Season 5, Week 2 — Witchboard and The Devil’s Rain
For those keeping track, it’s Darcy 2, JB 1 when it comes to The Last Drive-In’s ongoing co-host kill count. If you recall, Darcy dunked a canoeing Joe Bob in a Friday the 13th homage at the end of Humanoids of the Deep during the pandemic lockdown season when everything was relocated into a cabin […]
The Last Drive-In | Season 5, Week 1: Lucio Fulci Night — Zombie and The Beyond
Live from Grapevine, Texas, it was the Last Drive-In premiere! Or should I say, The Late Drive-In? Boy, it sure was a shock to some people’s systems when the lawn chairs, cinder blocks and red cooler were dispensed with for a week and instead we got a talk show set, a plethora of guests and […]
The Last Drive-In | Joe Bob’s Vicious Vegas Valentine
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter. Visit his store). Rather than a repeat visit to Heartbreak Trailer Park, a special couple of Mutants allowed their nuptials to be turned into a little bit of “deranged performance art” courtesy of Joe Bob (resplendent in Elvis garb — he was taking notes when we were at […]
Joe Bob’s Ghoultide Get-Together
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter and https://www.etsy.com/shop/DorkFairProductions?) An all-time record of 24 things up for auction and a couple of Santa-oriented flicks helped make the latest holiday special a quite memorable outing for the crew on the Last Drive-In, and we’re hoping that the returns for the four worthy charities surpass the generosity […]
The Last Drive-In | Halloween Hangout
Art by T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) About three decades back, the big criticism about the Super Bowl was that what was supposed to be the crowning, ultimate, must-see event of the football season ended up having no suspense and being a less-than-satisfying experience. The game ended up being a blowout, the halftime show didn’t […]
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 […]
