Truth! #MiskatonicUniversity

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

What a powerful finale.
The Drive-In Will Never Ever Die.
Thanks for everything, JB.

“monster”

How many current Oscar nominees have their early films played on #TLDI around the same time?
Jack Fisk is THE MAN.

Me raising. Lone Star to my screen with Joe Bob explaining the movie we’re about to watch.

Doin’ it right and sending the show off with a mandatory Lone Star.

In a perfect world this will be the 2nd feature…(he did say 80’s)

PERFECT FIRST FILM!
MESSIAH OF EVIL is a special beast…

Thank you @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @shudder.com et al for keeping the love for movies we cherish alive, for creating a community of like-minded psychos and professing that The Drive-In will NEVER die!

Now, let’s do this thing! WHAT ARE WE WATCHIN’??

Plus, we all watched some of the “Best” movies together, beers and pizza in hand, and helped us forget our troubles for a few hours.

And frankly, this show has been there for me, for US, during all the major highs and lows in life, from Pandemics to major life changes and all the bullhonkey in between. TLDI unified us Mutants in the love of Sinema and that’s rare these days.

And to be a small part of this phenom, from chatting with everyone in the Mutant Fam during the live feeds,to the HONOR of having two of my films screened by JB and the gang, to actually being ON the show AND be part of their Blu Ray release was a monumental part of my life that I will never forget.

From racing from Ohio to New York to watch the first 24 hour marathon back in 2018 to all the series episodes and the specials over the years to all the special events we attended together, TLDI was always there for me, a ray of movie-projector light cutting through the darkness.

Before The Last #TheLastDriveIn begins tonight, I just wanted to pass along a few thoughts about why this program and the amazing people both in front and behind the screen meant so much to me over these last 8 years.

Me, Jess, Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl on the set of The Last Drive In, standing in front of the famous trailer.

A shot of the four camera screen of all the cameras filming our episode.

A view of the set from behind it, crane, cameras and all.

Oh man, tonight is the final episode of the final season of THE LAST DRIVE IN. I’ve been a fan from minute one and it was a real bucket list item to be able to take part and guest on an episode in its final season. Much love to Joe Bob, Darcy, and the whole LDI crew. You guys made something special.

For those of you mourning tonight's series finale of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, I'm excited and honored to reveal that Joe Bob plays a pivotal role in "Everything Must Go", my episode of Tales From Beyond The Pale which debuts next Thursday, March 12th. <1/3>

WHITE FIY-UHHHH!!

THIS JUST IN from @therealjoebob123.bsky.social:

"Y'all just watch the show tonight."
