Its awesome to see Joe Bob Briggs have a platform again to dish out cheesy, trashy, over the top and obscure horror/drive in gems. If you grew up watching Monstervision or enjoy stuff like Mystery Science Theater 3000 give this show a shot.
This show is legit the only reason I have a Shudder subscription. Cant wait to see another season come out soon, I'm jonesing for more.

Joe Bob is THE horror expert of our time.. and he sagaciously explains each & every film as if he could be the director of the film himself. His wealth of knowledge is downright crazy. I honestly subscribe to Shudder just to watch Joe Bob & his commentary on classic horror films. If you haven't watched it yet for some reason, drop everything and do so right now.
Best Hosts

Best hosts (Joe Bob Briggs & Darcy) for anything, not just horror. Their presentation is better than the actual show. They're better than Elvira, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Svengoolie, Gordon Ramsey, Joel McHale, Marc Maron, and any other contendors. Best commentary, best intro, besr outro, best jokes, best details, best attitude, most accepting and inviting, best draw across all age groups, hot, cool, mysterious, knowledgable, and just fun. Comforting, too.
This is my favorite damn show ever.

I've been a fan of Joe Bob Briggs ever since the 90s. I subscribed to Shudder just to check out his new show, and I'm so happy to see that he hasn't missed a beat! 'The Last Drive In' delivers, and thankfully Shudder hasn't toned down Briggs' non-pc humor.
Hilarious!

Thank you SHUDDER for giving back to the horror community...reincarnating the horror hosts of old with a horror host of old! Joe Bob lights the nostalgic candles and waxes poetic on all manners of horrors and exploitation like only he can. He's a little more pointed politically, which is a welcomed addition to an already air-tight repertoire of sarcasm, wit, drive-in totals, and commentary. There is nothing better to fall asleep to than the sweet sounds of Joe Bob slinging a diatribe about the sleaze-fest PIECES. Give us more, SHUDDER, for heaven's sake, give us more Joe Bob Briggs!!!!!

When you compare this show to others its not even in the same league as
The Game of Thrones Breaking Bad Band of Brothers The Sopranos The Twilight Zone The X files Twin Peaks Seinfeld Curb Your Enthusiasm There are 1000 more I can write that are way better than The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs I gave this a rating of 1 because its not a 9.5 let be real it a 4.5 rating at best.

For the True Horror Connoisseurs
judypancoast10 June 2022
Those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s remember it well- when the muti-screen cinemas (we didn't call them "cineplexes" then) came to town and suddenly our beloved drive-ins stopped showing all the first-run flicks. They resorted to showing the worst, most disgusting, depraved, violently gross (or grossly violent) low-budget horror movies ever dug out of the slop trough, and we kept going to the drive-in. Why? Because that miasma of gore and chaos was, 9 times out of 10, much easier to take than the horror show going on in our own homes. So we sat there, gorging ourselves on rancid hot dogs, popcorn, Jujubes and soda while we watched the mutant babies, bloodthirsty butchers and mama's murdering boys do their thing on the giant screen.
Years later, when it became possibly to actually rent a DVD player and a movie, did you reach for one of those flicks, as I did? (Mine was HG Lewis' "Wizard of Gore." What was yours?)
We thought we were alone, and weird-mutants ourselves, in fact-until we met "Joe Bob Briggs" the character created by the positively brilliant John Bloom, and we realized that, hey! Not only does he like these movies, he knows a boatload about them! AND, while watching "The Last Drive-In," we have found a gigantic community of other mutants and we are welcomed by them and they GET IT. They are just as able to enjoy a classic like "Nosferatu" as they are to enjoy a crazy mess like "HOGZILLA!" The bonus of the show? The effervescent "Darcy the Mail Girl!" She interacts with fans, gives Joe Bob the what-for when required, cosplays, and has an eye-roll for the record books!
This show is not for everyone, and that's ok. Because in spite of the bullying and other tortures many TLDI fans endured when we were young, we always knew WE were special! 😉

If you're comparing this show to other styles of shows, you're engaging in an exercise in futility and not that bright. This show, for what it is, is best in class. Joe Bob knows his movies and brings a wealth of knowledge to each episode. Paired with his wit and humor, his knowledge makes even the cheesiest movies interesting.

Stop with the political rants and get back to monstervision humor
mokester8415 August 2019
Nobody wants to constantly hear about transgender bathrooms, Colin Capernik and Donald Trump.
What happened to those bad jokes like the one about your subwoofers on your old car.
This show could be so much better. It seems forced where monstervision sand summer school seemed more natural.

Love the show but...

It is growing further and further from what I love about it. I think this has a lot to do with Darcy's increasing popularity and bringing in PC followers who just want to be part of her clan instead of a fan of the show and horror in general. She is the problem with all of current life. She's 100% fake. Fake body, fake face, fake accent, fake character. Fake fake fake. Joe Bob is the real deal. Darcy has little to no insight on anything she is asked to expand on. Joe Bob can spit out a ton of ideas, thoughts, theories, funny antidotes, and entertaining rants that show his wisdom. Darcy just shows her body and annoying voice that says a whole lotta nothing.
And to top it all off, they are playing on the feminist trend where the woman demeans the man and tells him to stop talking because he's not interesting. This comes from a woman who has zero interesting qualities towards a man who is actually interesting. She is a social media influencer through and through, and this is why I dislike her growing involvement in the show. She is Joe Bob's Yoko and will run this show into the ground.
Just like everything else in life, the show is beginning to cater to new superficial fans instead of the old loyal fans.

What a joke
jkhmvgsbh2 March 2024
What a joke. I can't believe these hoedown hillbillies they bring in. Can't stomach to watch this. You guys really really need to bring back Chris Hardwick with talking dead. He was so great with all of the dead universe replacing Chris Hardwick with this joke of a character is like trying to replace Rick Grimes with some other actor you just don't do that to the show. This last drive-in thing is about as ridiculous as Elvira was. Please bring back Chris Hardwick and talking dead. We need him to follow up every episode of the ones who live, and Daryl Dixon And whatever spinoff The Walking Dead universe brings our way we need Chris back!!!!
Boomer Humor.

I heard good things about this show and I was expecting it to be a refreshing movie marathon type of show. I live for terrible B-films and horror films.
However, I'm always whipped with outdated adult humor and a boomer mindset. I watched one episode from each season and special hoping the humor and unnecessary comments about actors, characters, and themes would change, but it stays consistent. It feels wrong and disrespectful at times. I feel like these people are stuck in 2009 with their certain views of people and topics. I can tell there's a lot of heart put into this show from the cast, but the humor and comments that are made are just ... no.
You can disagree with me that's fine, I'm just giving you my two cents.
