From the venue:
For those who are UP ALL NIGHT dreaming about THE LAST DRIVE-IN, you’re in for a treat! Monstervision’s master Joe Bob Briggs is coming to Atlanta to talk about “How Rednecks Saved Hollywood”. Don’t miss your chance to see this horror legend at Boggs Social & Supply! Joe Bob Briggs, is an American syndicated film critic, writer, actor, and comic performer known for hosting the TNT television series MonsterVision from 1996 to 2000, and The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs on Shudder from 2018–present. Briggs’s acting persona is that of an unapologetic redneck Texan with an avowed love of the drive-in theater. He specializes in humorous but appreciative reviews of B-movies and cult films, which he calls “drive-in movies” (as distinguished from “indoor bull stuff”). In addition to his usual parody of urbane, high-brow movie criticism, his columns characteristically include colorful tales of woman-troubles and high-spirited brushes with the law, tales which inevitably conclude with his rush to catch a movie at a local drive-in, usually with female companionship.
