Movies I hope Joe Bob shows for season 3 of The Last Drive-In!!!

I think we can all agree that season 2 of The Last Drive-In was exactly what a bunch of us needed during these very scary times. Being stuck inside with nothing but our anxiety to keep us company, the pressure really started to build up. Still, there was a small distraction that I looked forward to every Friday night.

The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the mail-girl.

I've been a massive Joe Bob Briggs fan ever since I can remember. Back in the late 80's/90's I remember staying up to watch him on TNT with Monstervision, and Last Call. Here this really cute cowboy would sit on his soundstage that resembled a trailer park, and would have a witty little banter with his mail-girls (Honey, Reno, Kat, and Rusty) while giving his famous drive-in totals, as well as having special guest stars, and rambling on and on during the commercial breaks. I'm sure I'm. not alone in saying this, but I loved the character of Joe Bob Briggs. This is something I feel people might forget. He was playing a CHARACTER. You couldn't get offended by his Southern charm, and awesome ability of telling stories that honestly always circled back to whatever movie he was showing. Joe Bob was a staple growing up in my household. I was the weird little girl that loved movies...especially horror movies. Being able to watch the same movies that were in the section of my local video store as a kid, seemed so much cooler that these movies were allowed to be watched on regular TV.

I always say a huge inspiration behind this blog was from watching Joe Bob review movies growing up. I was really too young to watch Elvira, so Joe Bob was my late night horror movie host. I remember loving his cameo in The Stand, as well as his famous deleted scene from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Or how can we forget his small role in Casino "People come here to win!"

Having had a massive crush on this man ever since I can remember, when I was lucky enough to meet him back in 2016 I remember seriously being so starstruck. He was a complete sweetheart, and this was right before The Last Drive In returned. Since then he had such an epic comeback he actually broke the internet the evening his movie marathon premiered. Since then, he's made the ultimate comeback in the horror community. He's held several different movie marathons for several different holidays. His newest mail girl Darcy is by far one of the best. She's gorgeous, and actually a huge horror fan. I was completely sold when they did the Dinners Of Death, and while showing Blood Rage she dressed up as Ted Raimi from it. This lady works her ass off for her fans, and whenever things go back to normal I'm really hoping I'll get the chance to meet the two of them together. I love their little banter back and forth, but instead of just being a pretty face that rolls her eyes, Darcy actually loves these movies, and is very passionate about the horror community. During their second Christmas marathon, both shared pretty personal and serious stories of when both were down on their luck and broke. It honestly make you remember that at the end of the day, these two are still very human human and have the same problems we have.

Now that season 2 is behind us, news broke that Joe Bob has been renewed for a third season! Throughout it all, between the drama of being getting offended, people being assholes and body shaming Darcy, and just recently the news of Joe Bob having Covid-19 and hiding the fact he had been sick so fans could enjoy this latest season without worrying. Goes to show you that it's awesome to have heroes like this and put the fans first no matter what. I'm glad even at this age, Joe Bob is still #1 in the horror community and is a nice little distraction during these troubled times.

Remember guys, if there wasn't any Joe Bob and his mail girl there wouldn't be any Stacy from Staystillreviews and Chip the movie loving kid!

It's said that Joe Bob and Darcy is returning in a little less than two weeks for a mini summer marathon! I'm sure I'm not the only one in saying that I adore Joe Bob and Darcy. I hope the two make a few episodes of them on the road hitting up horror conventions, movie locations, and ALL of the cracker barrels! They need to do a podcast ASAP. I could hear these two going back and forth ALL day. I say keep cranking out these killer Joe Bob and Darcy shirts and merch. Let's celebrate two horror fans that know film, and have been nothing but a comfort during these very uncertain times.

So since season 3 has been announced, and I'm intending to get my Joe Bob/Darcy fix with the mini summer marathon, but I'm all ready drooling over what movies could they be planning on showing for season 3. So here are my choices on what I hope will be the picks for season 3 Of The Last Drive-In!

Episode 1 - Day Of The Dead and Return Of The Living Dead.
