The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs is an American variety television series created by Joe Bob Briggs, Austin Jennings, and Matt Manjourides for Shudder.

Briggs was known for hosting Joe Bob's Drive-in Theater and MonsterVision, and so Shudder decided to have him host a standalone marathon of horror movies of his choosing. The positive reception exceeded their expectations, resulting in a continued partnership.[2][3] The series has five seasons and sixteen specials, with more on the way.

The show follows Briggs as he hosts two or more films alongside Darcy the Mail Girl (Diana Prince), with cameos by production designer Yuki Nakamura, music supervisor John Brennan, and the occasional guest. The hosted segments include Briggs' "Drive-in Totals," as well as fun facts, rants, singing, comedy, interviews, awards, and performances.[4]

Production[edit]

Over 17 years after the cancellation of MonsterVision, Joe Bob Briggs tweeted that Shudder had shown interest in reviving the series.[5] An official announcement was made on June 25, 2018, that Briggs would be returning in a 24-hour marathon for the Shudder TV live feed. On July 13, Shudder aired The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs ("July 2018 Marathon"), featuring Tourist Trap, Sleepaway Camp, Rabid (1977), The Prowler, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Daughters of Darkness, Blood Feast, Basket Case, Re-Animator, Demons (1985), The Legend of Boggy Creek, Hellraiser, and Pieces.[2][6] The movies contained several interruptions for Briggs's "Drive-in Totals," insider stories, and rants.[7][8] These segments also included Darcy the Mail Girl (Diana Prince), who showed up in movie-themed outfits to banter with Briggs and brought messages from fans, as well as live-tweeted with viewers.[9][10] The show's guests were Felissa Rose from Sleepaway Camp and Lyle Blackburn for The Legend of Boggy Creek.[11]
