I'm going to have to catch the replay later. I sure as hell wasn't expecting Anthropophagus as the second feature.

What is your favorite mail girl moment ever? During the entire 40 year career?

Same. My wife and I splurged for VIP tickets as we don't know if we will ever have an opportunity like this again. It's also our first "convention". We are very excited for this.

Hope you have a great time. Drive-In horror shows are always a blast & I can imagine one hosted by JBB is even more-so. Would love to make it out to one sometime soon.

Nice! I bought GA tickets for Friday night and the upper tier for Saturday night. Couldn't afford full VIP. Me and my girlfriend are going to assess what days we may want to go to the actual convention later, we also want to get some time in exploring Memphis, going to Graceland, etc.

Really want to go, but my friends are all busy this year around that time and don't want to go on my own. Hopefully next year

Joe Bob's Drive-In Jamboree 2022, to be held July 8-10 at the landmark Malco Summer Drive-In in Memphis, announced its programming lineup and several confirmed guests today.

Kicking off the annual event on July 8 is "Halloween 3 Throwdown," with the cast and crew of the 1982 film showing up for a 40th anniversary reunion and confronting festival founder Joe Bob Briggs over his longstanding opposition to the only movie in the Halloween franchise that departs from the iconic Michael Myers narrative.

"This is all Darcy's doing," said Briggs, referring to his combative sidekick Darcy the Mail Girl on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, the hit series on AMC's Shudder streaming service that just celebrated the screening of its 100th movie. "I told her she could program Friday night and she's bringing in Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin and director Tommy Lee Wallace to gang up on me."

The Friday-night event will consist of a screening of the movie, interrupted several times for commentary and debate, followed by a one-hour Q&A with all involved "to determine, once and for all, whether Halloween 3 belongs in the franchise." The issue will be settled by an audience vote.

Atkins, Nelkin and Wallace will also be appearing all three days at the Jamboree fan convention held at the Hilton Memphis the same weekend.

The Saturday night program will feature two cult movies presented in the format of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, and in keeping with the show's tradition, guests and titles will not be announced in advance.

The World Drive-In Movie Festival, featuring indie films made outside of the usual New York, Los Angeles and London funding sources, will take place on Sunday night, with screenings of the 10 winning films, the presentation of their "Hubbies" (engraved on Chevy hubcaps), the awarding of the Joe Bob Briggs Lifetime Achievement Award, and a special appearance by Jonah Ray of Mystery Science Theater 3000, who will riff on a beloved (and hated) film from the Last Drive-In archives.

Headliner musical acts for each night's pre-show will be announced later.

Other Jamboree guests being announced today, all of whom will be at the fan convention, are:

  • P.J. Soles, star of Halloween, Carrie, Rock 'n' Roll High School, The Devil's Rejects, Stripes, and many other films.
  • Sybil Danning, pioneering female action star (Battle Beyond the Stars, Chained Heat, Hercules, Reform School Girls, Rob Zombie's Halloween, Grindhouse).
  • Danhausen, the horror-themed professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
  • Jonah Ray, primary host of Mystery Science Theater 3000, actor, comedian and writer who is also known as the co-host of Comedy Central's The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail.
  • Fred Williamson, better known as "The Hammer," the All-Pro defensive back in Super Bowl I who became a superstar during the blaxploitation era with films like Black Caesar and Hell Up in Harlem, then a successful writer/producer/actor in both Rome and Los Angeles.
  • Kelli Maroney, star of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Night of the Comet, Chopping Mall and many other drive-in movies as well as stints on two long-running soap operas.
  • Felissa Rose, who made her film debut at age 12 as the lead in the cult classic Sleepaway Campand has had hundreds of roles since, including her recurring appearances as the "Mangled Dick Expert" on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs.
  • The Bunny, a champion wrestler currently signed with AEW.
  • Dave Sheridan, the comedian, writer and producer best known for his portrayal of Officer Doofy in Scary Movie.
  • Honey, the first Mail Girl on Joe Bob's first two shows, Drive-in Theater on The Movie Channel and MonsterVision on TNT.
  • The Blade, the professional wrestler best known for his tag team work with The Butcher.
  • Yuki Nakamura, "The Tokyo Cowboy," who started out as the art director on The Last Drive-In in 2018 but emerged through many cameo appearances as a celebrity in his own right.
  • John Brennan, music director and composer for The Last Drive-In, whose band, The Bigfeet, will perform before each show during the Jamboree.
Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl will be doing meet-and-greets throughout the weekend, at both the fan convention and the drive-in.

Additional "surprise" guests will be announced later.

I'm so glad I splurged for the VIP passes now. A Halloween 3 showing with Tom Atkins in person?!

Fuck I want to go to this. Meeting Tom Atkins is a bucket list item for me, and god knows they'll never bring anything like this out to my neck of the woods.

For those going to the Jamboree, it's been announced that the movie on the first night will indeed be Halloween 3!

Opening night, July 8 is "Halloween 3 Throwdown," with the cast and crew of the 1982 film showing up for a 40th anniversary reunion and confronting festival founder Joe Bob Briggs over his long standing opposition to the only movie in the Halloween franchise that departs from the iconic Michael Myers narrative.

The Friday-night event will consist of a screening of the movie, interrupted several times for commentary and debate, followed by a one-hour Q&A with all involved "to determine, once and for all, whether Halloween 3 belongs in the franchise." The issue will be settled by an audience vote.

I'm so psyched for Darcy. She deserves all the nice things.

Also I wanted to give you all a heads up, that the Joe Bob Patreon is VERY cool. We do monthly watch alongs. And I got to watch the new Texas Chainsaw with JB and Darcy (their first time seeing it) and it was a really cool experience. The movie was crap, but it felt special to watch something TCM with him for the first time and get his thoughts since those movies mean a lot to him.

Apparently tonight's themes are corruption and two movies about witches. Makes me wonder if we are lucky enough to get The Devils. Would be awesome to see anything Ken Russell on The Last Drive In.

Shudder never seems to be able to keep The Devils for very long though. I guess that hasn't kept them from showing some other movies that have disappeared rather quickly. He'd have a lot to talk about with Ken Russell, that's for sure. What an amazing weirdo.

Looking at what's already on Shudder, Viy or Night Tide would be cool. Night Tide being a loose use of the word witch.

It's probably some garbage though.

My Joe Bob swag from being a Patreon for 1 year.

You basically get things the 1st month and every 3 months after more or less.

I've basically gotten all the advertised swag but Darcy says she's coming up with more (Darcy also runs the patreon page and is an absolute sweetheart whenever you interact with her)

Also the shirt is a little beat up but that's because I've worn it once a week for 7 months.

I didn't even think about Viy, that would be an interesting watch too. I don't know, every time I think I know what the movie is going to be, it's something out of left field and I am wrong. The best thing about Joe Bob is that even if the movie is awful, it's still entertaining. Honestly, I would watch him talk about Wavelength.

I'm still finishing up Anthrophagus from last week, and remembering why I couldn't make it through the film decades ago when I first saw it. That song from Darcy and Honey was adorable.

I honestly need to watch that still.

I tapped out and went to bed after the first Honey segment.

Then between AEW and a really busy work week I didn't come back.
