Joe Bob says "Check it out!"
I'm not sure what I'm going to get to this weekend. I may try Scared to Death (1980), The Baby in the Basket, or perhaps Dead Snow. I have not seen Dead Snow in a few years. So please report in, Mutants!
does someone with a larger knowledge base or better memory than me recall JBB, Darcy or Felissa mentioning this film (even though Felissa is not in it)? I was not expecting much but I found it to be a lot of fun - a welcomed surprise.
I know Felissa is in some other Sleepaway Camp sequels / reboots. anyone recommend those?
(Referring to her interview on TLDR’s showing of I Spit On Your Grave.)
It’s a brief uncredited role with no lines as a “hippie girl” at a party, so no wonder she didn’t recognize it when Joe Bob asked about it! I dig this movie so I wanted to solve the mystery.
As a bonus, I’m taking the opportunity to share one of my favorite moments in giallo history from this movie: the main character uses his brilliant art skills to draw a photo-realistic portrait of a suspect, then proceeds to show the drawing to everyone in Rome…
To those Patreon Saints here- what are the discord watchalongs actually like? Is there just a text chat? Joe Bob on video? Do you have to watch the movie independently?
Joe Bob had his very first Jamboree at the Mahoning. Has anyone attended Camp Blood before? It's a really awesome time.
I was watching an episode of Just Joe Bob. After I finished, I backed out, and the show was GONE. Now if I search for JJB, they have separated all the episodes into individual titles, with several missing, and I can't find TLDI now either. The specials and original marathon are still there.
With their attempt to get into podcasts and now YouTube, Netflix seems to be in the try anything mode. In a world where they pay for a season of TLDI with just Netflix movies what would they play? Kinda like the lone MST3K season they did.
I happened to just finish The Conference from Sweden and it seemed like it would be a great fit for the scenario.
I did not write this but wanted to share it.
Ok so usually when a movie that had been on TLDI gets taken off Shudder but then gets put back on the platform, it reappears on TLDI too, right? But I noticed that even though Sleepaway Camp just became available on Shudder again, it doesn’t show up when you go to the 2018 marathon where it originally aired. What gives?? I wonder if it has something to do with TLDI being cancelled? I’m bummed out, I really want to watch it w the Felissa Rose interview!
Besides my recommendation of Shock Waves, what are we watching this weekend? I got home a bit early for a Friday and a movie showed up on my YouTube feed that I had never seen. It was excellent. So I got an early start with Deadly Messages (1985) . It gets extra points from me because it was made for television. I may try a movie I don't remember called The Neptune Factor and there are a couple of new Shudder flicks I want to check out. I also need to re-watch Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. Please report in, Mutants.
Recently I floated the idea of finding a movie that we could all watch at various times and weigh in on it at our convenience. Some folks were interested, so I picked this gem from 1977. Shock Waves stars Peter Cushing, John Carradine, the lovely Brooke Adams, and Luke Halpin. For the uninitiated, it involves undead creatures and a connection to WWII. I've loved this flick since the late 70's and it's a perfect July Beach Movie. It's on many platforms and it is free to watch on TUBI and PLUTO. I own a DVD so I will most likely watch that. Opine at will.
This is one of those movies that I think gets better with age. It's an independent film partially produced by Ken Curtis (Yes, the guy who played Festus Haggen on Gunsmoke). He also made The Giant Gila Monster the same year. Gila Monster, in my opinion, is just too darned slow. But Shrews is Drive-In Gold. It even has a sleazy almost Film Noir subplot involving a woman who isn't sure what she wants. The monsters are creepy and effective and it's not too long. It's on a lot of platforms and right now it is free on TUBI. Pop some corn or grab a 'Taste Treat" and enjoy!
I love when a movie is a total surprise. Despite my dotage, I had never seen this Made-For-TV flick from 1985. It involves a Ouija Board, but it's closer to a Giallo than a standard horror flick. There are a lot of Hitchcock like twists and it boasts one of the creepiest Motel Clerks in the history of film (yes, I know that's saying a lot.) . This is on YouTube via Creature Features. It popped up in my feed, and even though I subscribe to CreatureFeatures TV, I let it run while I was doing stuff around the house. I didn't get much house stuff done. It was that good.
Not sure if this is an issue exclusive to me, but I am unable to search for any of the Savage Summer episodes outside of uncenslred Grave. nothing else comes up in my searches, even Tokyo Gore Police only comes up with the base movie and not TLDI version. Anyone else experiencing this?
Since we all have different schedules and live in different places, I thought of voting or picking a movie once a month or week that is available on a lot of platforms, or hopefully free, that we could all watch and chat about, being cautious about Spoilers of course. One time it could be a Vincent Price flick, like The Haunted Palace, which I think is still on TUBI. Another time go classic Creature Feature like Them! or Tarantula. Just an idea.
