TCH Vol. II, Ep. 49: Interview With the Legendary Horror Host and Drive-In Critic Joe Bob Briggs
Manage episode 345668124 series 3241983
On this episode I will have none other than syndicated American film critic, writer, and comic performer Joe Bob Briggs as my guest as we discuss his amazing career, including his work on TMC’s Joe Bob’s Drive-In Theater (86-96), TNT’s Monstervision (96-00), and his triumphant return to Shudder earlier this year with The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs. (Original Air Date: 11/20/18)
He also talks about his reputation as a controversial figure, why he refuses to “tone it down” or appeal to the politically correct culture, and how opposed he is to any kind of speech code or speech rules at a network. Finally, we discuss the films he wasn’t allowed to show, his picks for the most criminally underrated horror films, what it’s like working with celebrity guests, and how technology has changed the game for him and all horror fans.
After the enormous success of his return to the drive-in this Summer — a 24-hour takeover of Shudder with Briggs’ hand-picked selection of some of the most beloved and / or infamous horror movies of all time — the legendary horror host and B-movie connoisseur is returning with a dusk ’til dawn marathon of four horror films this Thanksgiving. His special, “The Dinners of Death” will air November 22nd starting at 8 pm EST.
In our Digital Dismemberment Spotlight this evening, we will be covering Miller/Datri Pictures screener release of Come, Said The Night starring Lew Temple, Danielle Harris and Nicole Moorea Sherman.
In a new review segment that harkens back to our guests olden days, I will be joined by my cohort Grumpy from his underground bunker as we review Dylan Reynolds’ 420 Massacre in The Traumatic Tales of Dedman and Grumpy!
We will be featuring three bands in our Metal Massacre Spotlights including Jungle Rot, Carnation and Skeletal Remains.
