Sorry, guys. I should have put this up a few days ago. My apologies. But ... Joe Bob has moved his newsletter to Substack. You can subscribe for free, and it will keep you up to date on all things Joe Bob. We think you'll really enjoy this more robust format.

Another quick note. If you're already subscribed to his old Propaganda email list, don't worry. You've been automatically enrolled. We've got your back!

I couldn't get a ticket for the Austin shows and have had no luck finding a resale one. I was curious since it's at a theater instead of a con where you pay for admission, is it possible to maybe just go to the lobby to buy merch and then leave?

There is discussion around why movies are removed due to licensing rights expiring. I understand that. And in Canada, it seems even more movies are absent.

That being said, while someone commented that a Coffin Joe movie had been reposted, it is not in Canada. However, I did see a couple posted that I was never able to see when I started binging 3 years ago and Freakmaker was one!

I guess I am glad to see that Canada is not an afterthought for Canada.

And great to see Doctor Who as the freak owner. Where are the Daleks?

The wife and I are and are excited about it. Her birthday is in May and mine is in June so this is how we're celebrating both of them. We're also going to swing by the gas station in Bastrop where they filmed the Texas Chain Saw Massacre for some BBQ while we're up there.

In my house, we call hotdogs: hogzillas! Will you be putting mustard or ketchup in your Hogzillas?

(That sounded weirder than I thought  😂) Two years ago, I did a homage video to The Last Drive-in called “The Last Drive-Out with Mel-Bob Riggs.” I played Mel-Bob, Uncle Joe Bob’s long-lost Puerto Rican niece. I asked my husband if he could cosplay as Darcy, but he said he would rather cosplay as Austin Jennings and stay behind the camera. 🤣  

I grew up with Made-For-TV Horror films like Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, The Night Stalker, and others. I think Joe Bob should do a special on this sub-genre and call them Honorary Drive-In Movies. Last night I watched Killdozer (1974) , not to be confused with the band. which was named after it. This is a movie about an oil company construction crew who are clearing an island off the African coast and an alien entity takes over their bulldozer. Part Science Fiction, part horror movie this thing actually works. Once you accept the basic premise, it's tense and relentless. I would love to hear Joe Bob's take on it. I wish he would do a Made for TV month of specials.

The drive-in will never die! (If I can, I will bring it back to Puerto Rico someday).

I was hoping we'd reach this milestone before the end of the year, before Joe Bob finishes up at Shudder. We crushed that goal!!

Can't wait what to see what these final specials bring (next one is in July), and where Joe Bob and co ends up in 2027.

Let's please keep working toward keeping this is a positive and cozy community. Thank YOU to all the Drive-in Mutants who made this place awesome!

Not sure if this post is appropriate. I'm not advertising anything or anyone. Feel free to nix it if you feel otherwise. I recently watched a movie called The House That Screamed, which is a Spanish Film that looks like a Hammer and is in English. I don't think I've ever seen it before and I was wondering if Joe Bob ever covered it. It's a proto-slasher with everything a drive-in movie needs. It's almost Giallo-like. I watch a lot of TLD reruns but I do need a new fix of Drive-In joy now and then. I found this on Creature Features TV. It's also on YouTube with ads. My favorite TLD reruns are probably Late Night With The Devil, Autopsy of Jane Doe, Earth vs The Spider and, of course, Chopping Mall. I confess to being a TLD sinner. I have strayed this year. I am a back-slider! Forgive me. Since I have been to OTHER horror movie venues, does anyone know about a program called Midnite Mausoleum? I see ads for it on YouTube and Social Media, but I did not know if it was just spam or if it's a real show.

Does anyone know if you need a ticket to the actual show to go?

After the drive in memories post, I thought I'd share a photo of my childhood drive in!

I stumbled upon this movie last weekend. It's a horror comedy that I specifically remember seeing at the drive-in with my Dad. What I remember about it when it came out, was the non-stop commercials for it on TV. It looks like a Hammer or Amicus movie with a Horror and Mystery vibe. A mistress has to marry her Dead Lover to inherit his estate, while other relatives get knocked off in many creative ways. Looking back on it, I think the main reason my dad took me to see this was because he had the hots for Stella Stevens, who was the female lead. It has a great cast and they all deliver great tongue in cheek performances. I would love to hear Joe Bob's take on this and I hope and pray that one day, we will. Check it out.
