Jul '18
On the night of Friday, July 13th, the marathon of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs began airing on Shudder TV, the live stream portion of Shudder's service. Running for a little over 24 hours, it consisted of 13 movies:
Tourist Trap
Sleepaway Camp
Rabid
The Prowler
Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama
Daughters of Darkness
Blood Feast
Basket Case
Re-Animator
Demons
The Legend of Boggycreek
Hellraiser
Pieces
I didn't watch live because I'm far past my days of staying awake 24 hours, but I'm watching now that the movies are available to watch individually. With Joe Bob's segments, each movie runs between about 100 and 130 minutes. It's a damn fine feeling to see him again. Everything you'd expect from him is there, including Drive-In Totals and a mail girl.
It's implied that this will be Job Bob's final outing as a movie host. That hasn't stopped people from begging Joe Bob and Shudder to turn this into a weekly show. Considering that it was enough of a success for Shudder that the traffic surge when the marathon began caused technical difficulties, maybe there will be more. If not a weekly show, then maybe another marathon.
Did anyone here watch the marathon? Are you watching or planning to watch the movies individually? Are you interested in watching at all or is the idea of a redneck interrupting your movie every 20 minutes or so for his commentary unappealing?

When they announced this thing, they gave the impression that the 24 hour marathon was going to be the one and only chance there was to see it. I thought that was crazy, who's going to stay up for 24 hours to watch 13 movies in a row?
