(Intro, Bridge at 5:29, Outro at 9:43, Bonus Promo at 11:18) 

Happy Splatterday, Patreon Pals! I'm a lil' late getting this one posted, but it's been a long work/travel day for me & to be honest, I'd forgotten what day it was! 😋 But it's still Saturday Night  in El Lay, so technically we can still tear the heart out of it! 🥰

The mailbags here really spoke to me...Beavers for Tweeters forever!! And I ca...

The 1988 Hubbie Awards (Featuring the First Ever Lifetime Achievement Award)

Hiya, ho-mies! Exasperating day (we did NOT love the ticket company we used for the Jamboree...if you had probs with that message me & I’ll see if there’s some way I can help!)

But I promised I’d be back with a pre-show post for ya, and I’m in just under the wire! 😋 Tonight I give you The Hubbies, JB’s Drive-In version of an Academy Award! I wanted to post this today because we are bringing back the Hubbies for...

Season 3 & a Jamboree

Our first wrap-up pod of Season 3...and a lil’ reminder that Jamboree Tix go on sale TODAY at noon ET! 🤠

I’ll be back with one more lil’ goody before the show tonight, but thought you might have fun checking this out, too. 🖤

Martians Go Home & Frankenhooker (Air Date 3/21/92)

( Intro/ 5:18:22 Bridge/ 10:01:16 Outro) 

Happy Humpday, Ho-mies!

Thank you so much for being so understanding about our ill-fated 4/20 stream last night. I didn’t announce it ahead of time bc I wasn’t exactly sure what time we’d be able to do it, and I knew whenever we did it would take us a few minutes to figure it out first. Alas, the edibles kicked in and our already not super tech savvy selves got even mor...

4/20 Amirite?

I’m so sorry, y’all! I thought we were in some sort of sneaky practice mode for live streaming but it kept sending out notifications! 😋 

He was bummed Bc he wanted to do “this little thing to make people happy” and it didn’t work out. ☹️ We will keep trying though (hopefully more stealthily! 👻) till we master the ancient art of live stream. 

Happy 420, My Magnificent Mutants!!! 💚

The Sleaziest Movies in the History of the World #1: Blood Feast

Here's a lil' bonus for you bc I felt bad about not having the time codes ready to go for the last post.  🙃

This was the very first video release of the movies of Herschell Gordon Lewis and Doris Wishman. They were rescued by a friend of JB's (Jimmy Maslon of Hollywood Book and Poster Co., a store I used to worship but sadly shut down a few years ago), who asked him to find a creative way to unleash them. Only a handful...

Gremlins and Billy Jack with Special Guest Tom Laughlin (Air Date 11/29/96)

In the Beginning...

Greetings, Mutants! In less than 2 hours Season 3 of The Last Drive-In is gonna start and I am nervous as holy heck!! Which is why this post seemed appropriate for tonight... 😉

Presenting the unaired pilot for God Stuff, which later became a recurring segment during the early days of The Daily Show. I asked JB about it and he said he’d really wanted to keep it in this 30 min format, but was glad they picked it up in any fo...

The Edge of Sanity & The Wizard of Gore (Air Dates 4/7/90 and 4/21/90)

(Intro The Edge of Sanity/ 03:12:20 Outro Edge of Sanity/ 06:41:07 Intro The Wizard of Gore/ 10:42:20 Outro Wizard of Gore)

Happy Humpday, ho-mies! For tonight's post-wrasslin' offering I give you two episodes of Drive-In Theater. These are so short (just intros and outros), that I figured I'd add 'em together to make a pretty nifty Double Feature for you. (Loved both of these mail bags. Definitely two I would've pic...

The OG Casino

Ho-wdy, ho-mies! Back in El Lay for literally 2 days, then jetting out to meet up with JB again for the start of Season 3 of The Last Drive-In. Expect MUCH exclusive content from our wacky adventures coming your way then, plus our first Patreon livestream/watchalong! (I'll figure out the details on that and let you know ASAP.  ☺️)

I'm working on time coding a new Monstervision ep for you this week, but in the meantime ...

Roger Corman Drops by the Drive-In (August 1990)

Happy Splatterday Night, Patreon Pals!

Today was a loooong (but awesome! 🥰) day at Days of the Dead, but I wouldn’t let you go without your JB fix! Since it is the anniversary of the release date of The Howling, I figured I’d go ahead and post about...Howling 4! (Close enough, right? 😉) More importantly, though, we’ve got JB conversing with one of his biggest heroes (and the person who inspired our Mutant Fest film ...

Random Bits o’ Drive-In News (Air Date 8/90)

Howdy, Mutants! Here’s a lil’ bit o’goodness I thought might help get your weekend off to a nice start: 4 Clips of Joe Bob’s Drive-In News where he covers such hot-button issues as Frankenhooker (yay!), Deadbeat at Dawn, and Return to the Blue Lagoon. 😉

I’m actually with JB at Days of the Dead (Chicago) right now, and I asked him to explain these segments for anyone who might not be familiar with them. He said “T...

Do or Die and Party Incorporated (aka Party Girls) with Special Guest Andy Sidaris (Air Date 2/06/93)

(Intro to Do or Die, Bridge is at 8:13:16 then Party Incorporated, Outro is at 16:45:04) 

Happy Humpday, Patreon Pals! Tonight’s discovery is an interview with the King of Bazookas and Bazoombas himself, Mr. Andy Sidaris. I am a HUGE fan of his work so I was so excited to check this out!

Warning, though: Andy gets a lil’ non-PC in this, but if you’re familiar with his films that’s probably not a huge surprise...

Dinosaur Island and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama with Special Guest Michelle Bauer (Air Date 10/01/94)

(Promo with Michelle, then Intro, Bridge at 6:40, Outro at 15:18) 

Happy Beaster, Mutants! I tried to find Night of the Lepus to post today, but alas no luck (yet...The movie itself is streaming on Shudder right now if you want to check it out, though! :) So instead here's a lil' treat fer ya featuring the iconic Ms. Michelle Bauer, from Part One of Attack of the Queen Bs month. 

And here’s a bonus ...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Air Date 10/18/96)

This is a rare single movie episode of Monstervision featuring Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (JB is clearly a huge fan of this one!! 😉)

I’ve had a few requests for Wrath of Khan, which I haven’t found yet, but I figured this might hold my Trekkie buddies over till I do. 🖖 The tape was only labeled “10/18”, so I’m just guessing on the ‘96 part. If anybody knows for sure what year this was let me know and I’l...

A Word from the Boss Man...

We both wanted everyone here to know how much we appreciate you being part of all of this...THANK YOU!!

One Million Years B.C. & King Kong Lives (Air Date 10/03/98)

*******Time Code Progress Update:

I still haven’t gotten my hands on physical copies of these two (and as far as I can tell they aren’t streaming anywhere), but one of your fellow Patreons was kind enough to provide those for us. Scroll down past the OG message for those, and hopefully I’ll be able to update this post again soon with the codes for BC 🤠👍****************

(Now back to the previously posted messag...

One more Patreon hiccup...

Apparently Patreon re-bills everyone on the first of the month regardless of when you signed up. :( I had no idea that's how it worked, or I definitely would've waited till the 1st to start this page. 

If you were also unaware of this and want to drop down to the lower tier, I will make sure you will still be able to access all of the content on the site for April, and you will definitely still receive your Blu-Ray/picture...

Ice-T Take Two-O

***UPDATE: Since this seems to be working for everyone now (yay!!!) going to go ahead and post the time codes below. 🤠***

If you checked in last night, you might (or might not ;) have seen this video already. I've been experimenting with some different uploading methods to see what works the best for the most people. I LOVED the way the vid quality looked for me last night, but if it's giving anybody problems, that's obv...

Bud the CHUD Promo!!!

And some other stuff, too, but that’s CLEARLY the important part! 😉

These are a couple of promos from March, 1990...I left these lil’ beauties in tact, bc I think the behind-the-scenes stuff is kinda interesting. Enjoy, Mutants! It’ll change yer life. 😉🖤

It’s Showtime!

Hiya, ho-mies! Just a lil’ late night quickie to update you on a couple of things.

I’m still not caught up on messages here, and I apologize for that. I’m working my booty off every free second I have, but it’s definitely taking a while to get through ‘em all. (It might not have been the *best* plan to have folks DM me with their choice of pic/Blu Ray, but when so many people were disappointed to learn there was no im...

Chained Heat 2, Marilyn Chambers: NY Nights, Midnight Express (Air Date 6/10/95)

(Intro to Chained Heat 2, Bridge into NY Nights at 3:31:14, Outro/Lead-In to Midnight Express at 9:45:23) 

Happy Splatterday Night, Mutants!!!

Tonight's offering from the vault o' JB includes my very favorite ever "women in prison" movie (which is saying a lot!! :), Chained Heat 2. If you've never seen it, I implore you to check it out ASAP. I promise you'll thank me afterwards! 

I've never seen...

Wild Cactus & LA Goddess with Special Guest Kathy Shower (Air Date 10/22/94)

(Intro to Wild Cactus, Bridge/Intro to LA Goddess at 7:27:13, Outro at 14:19:03)

Since we mentioned Wild Cactus in a previous post, I thought I’d go ahead and share this episode from Scream Queens Month when JB interviewed Playmate of the Year (‘86) Kathy Shower.

Ms. Shower later went on to become what he calls “the Curly Joe of Mail Girls”, appearing in  just a few eps of Monstervision. (She was fired by...

TCM #FBF...Denied!!!! 😋

I was so hyped for today bc I thought I was going to get to share a quality copy of JB’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 "deleted scene" with you. I found this tape with this AMAZING letter dated 9/5/86, and immediately prioritized it to be digitized!

Alas, the tapes were switched out so what was actually in the case turned out to be some old b&w western lookin’ movie. 😕  

I haven’t given up finding the real f...

#FBF: Visiting the World’s Last XXX Drive-In Theater

Sooooo...here’s what I’m sharing instead of the long lost TCM2 Footage. It’s a lil’ clip of JB and I on the road, to kinda give you an idea of the sort of vids I’ll be posting here during our future travels.

This was the epilogue to our quest to find the Boggy Creek Monster. I posted a lot of the footage on my YouTube page (Dianaprincexo, if you want to check it out), but left a lot of random stuff out. Like this bit ...

Drive-In Theater Promo

...or anti-Portland propaganda? I'll let you be the judge! ;)

Another quick side note: Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who signed up here today! I am going to do all I can to make this a happy fun place for all you Mutants!  Thank you infinitely much for helping me keep all this Drive-In History alive!! :) xoxo

Evil Toons/ Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers/ Wild Cactus with Special Guest Fred Olen Ray (Air Date 8/05/95)

(Evil Toons Intro, then Bridge for Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers at 11:14:05, then Outro into Wild Cactus at 22:43:19.)

This is another one where just the date was on the tape so I didn't know what I was gonna get till it was digitized, but-t HOLY COW was this a happy surprise!!!

Evil Toons & Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers are both SO GREAT!! I'd KILL to show them on The Last Drive-In!!!!! And Fred Olen Ray is one of my all-...

Bikini Car Wash Company II - Night Rhythms - Who's the Man? (Air Date 3/25/95)

(Bridge between Bikini Car Wash Company II and Night Rhythms is 4:00:01 and between Night Rhythms and Who's the Man? is at 7:38:01)

A lot of the tapes in the vault only list dates and no tit-les, especially for Drive-In Theater. I don't know what I'm going to get until it's been transferred, so it's a happy lil' JB surprise. This one was one of those. I chose it bc the date is so close to now. I wanted to see what JB was showin...

A Note About Transfer Quality & Time Coding

Re. Transfer Quality:

Almost every episode in the vault has several copies. Some are even on old film rolls, but those often have been copied to VHS. (The film versions are a lot more $$ and time consuming to digitize, so mostly sticking to tapes when possible right now.) The tapes are all labeled just slightly differently (i.e. "mixed"/"unmixed"/"rough cut"/air copy", etc). Right now I'm kinda going more by what's on the tape ...

Joe Bob's Narrow World: B-ass Fishing. (From January 1993)
