Joe Bob Briggs is one of the legendary horror hosts along with Zacherle and Elvira. He used to host Monstervision and Drive-In theatre back in the day. He has enjoyed a resurgence after a 24 hour marathon done in July 2018. He has also acted in a few movies most notably in Martin Scorsese's Casino and Mick Garris' TV adaptation of The Stand. As per Joe Bob, he was broke and had to do this "gem".
A group of news crew go to shoot footage about a huge hog (The titular Hogzilla). They are encountered by Joe Bob who warns them to leave since he lost his kid to the hog a few years ago and has been living in the woods ever since. The crew expectedly ignores the harbinger of doom and starts getting picked off one by one by the pig or at least a violently shaking camera.
Hogzilla is a terrible movie. Its budget was reportedly one million which seems false because those folks at Troma do more in 20% of that budget. Joe Bob is there for all of 15 minutes in the entire movie. Unsurprisingly, he is the best part of the movie. The others are all terrible. The background score is completely incongruous to what is going on in the movie. The make-up effects are non-existent and the film has a cheap look despite considering it was made in 2007 and never released till 2020 just in time for Joe Bob's new show The Last Drive-in where this movie was premiered to Joe Bob's complete shock.
I would suggest watching the last drive-in episode of this as Joe Bob is fantastic along with his mail girl Darcy who has a fun banter going with him. If you have a group of friends to make fun of this movie, watch this one with them else let this hogzilla stay dead and buried.
