Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Caesar Salad Edition

All Caesar Salads are fake. A clump of lettuce with croutons is NOT a Caesar salad. 

Salem's Lot (Air Date: 9/20/96)

Happy Splatterday, Patreon Pals! I‘ve heard a lot of excitement over the upcoming Salem’s Lot remake, which was originally set to debut this weekend. Alas, it’s been pushed till next year (hopefully…they keep on changing it!!), but until then we can watch the OG here with JB. 👿

There are a lot of ways to watch it, so here’s a helpful note from Ben re. Time codes:  I used the 3:03:02 version of Salem's Lot available on Shudde...

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Ben Franklin Edition

If Benjamin Franklin--America's first real journalist--could see the media worship of the British monarchy going on right now, he would say, "What the hell did we fight and die for?"

Friday Fun: Joe Bob’s America

(Today for your Friday Fun, we have an article from the now-defunct site Rebeller. JB was bummed the articles he wrote for it aren’t posted anywhere any more, so I figured I’d help him out with that. 😉 Enjoy! 🖤)

Billions and Billions of Germs, Invisible, Lurking, Waiting for You (Cue the Spooky Music)

Paula Deen is gourmet Cracker Barrel.

The Return of Ask Joe Bob

If you sent one before that hasn’t been used yet, please re-send, if you don’t mind. (It just helps not to have to go back and track ‘em all down. ❤️)

Jakarta (Air Date: 9/8/90)

(Outro: 3:46)

Howdy, y’all! Super under the weather with “food poisoning” tonight so I will make this one short and sweet.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday night, and hopefully I will feel right as rain in time for tomw‘s postings. Lots of love to all of you, and extra hugs to the gentlemutant who had this sign at #AEW tonight. It totally made our year! 🤠❤️

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Inflation Edition

If inflation is really as bad as they say, why aren't they printing $500 bills like they did in the sixties? They might come in handy.

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Spry AF Edition

One of the reasons Millennials say "Okay, Boomer" a lot is that they resent our youthfulness.

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Reading is Fun-damental Edition

There's a meme going around called "Read a Fucking Book." Since it doesn't say "Read a Good Book" or "Read a Smart Book," I'm going to take it to mean read a book about fucking.

Here are my top ten:

“Emmanuelle" by Emmanuelle Arsan (1959) 

     "Portnoy's Complaint" by Philip Roth (1969)

“Bad Behavior" by Mary Gaitskill (1988)

     "Lust" by Susan Minot (1989)

     "Endle...

Fargo & To the Limit (Air Date: 9/18/99)

Happy Splatterday, Mutants! Tonight we have a true cinematic masterpiece …and Fargo! 😋 Seriously if you haven’t seen To the Limit I definitely rec giving it a watch, and it is DEFINITELY worth finding an uncensored version. I can’t even imagine what that movie would be like when censored by the boobie police. You’d miss 1/2 the story!! 😋

Incidentally, we are going to a con in Fargo at the end of this month. I thought about breaking out Frances Mcdormand cosplay for it, but...

JB's Beauty Secret & September Drive In Theater Line Up

Happy Friday, Patreon Pals! For this week’s Friday Fun we get a glimpse into how JB stays so darn sexxxy, and also what we’ve got coming up in September. I’m gonna try to match these up to the proper dates as closely as possible, starting with this week’s ep which was the Night of the Demons one.

Enjoy, and have a fabulous Friday, fiends! ❤️

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Library Edition

    The name "National Archives" doesn't normally inspire fear in the hearts of men, but when I was researching my most recent book, I spent several weeks in the Clinton Library in Little Rock, which is administered by the National Archives. I spent about seven hours a day going through official folders full of government documents that had been produced in response to my Freedom of Information Act request.

    While I was reading, scanning and ta...

Night of the Demons (Air Date: 9/1/90)

(Outro:4:51)

Happy Humpday, homies! Tonight we have another episode that lines up with the proper date…I get so giddy when that happens! 🥰👏👏

32 years ago on Sept 1, Night of the Demons aired on Drive-In Theater. (The title card person must not have been too familiar with it, as it’s labeled “Night of Dreams”. 😋) I’m really shocked by how much JB seems to dislike it here, as I know he loves it now. If we ever get to show the ep we filmed at the Mahoning Jambor...

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Monty Python Edition

When Monty Python created one of the greatest production numbers in the history of film, "Every Sperm Is Sacred," little did they know that, 39 years later, legislatures in the United States would be trying to codify it into law.

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Hardbody Edition

I have a question about bewtocks.

     Hasn't it been a fitness and beauty goal for the past fifty years to firm up that butt? Isn't that what the Stairmaster does?

     So why is there such a thing as bewtock augmentation surgery?

   Wouldn't you have to LOOSEN IT UP to do that?

     Think of it from the bewtock's point of view. You're packing on extra flesh that then has to be hard-bodied up...

Geek Tawk: Blazed Blabbering with Andras Jones

Howdy, y’all! Today I’ve got a brand new ep of Geek Tawk for your listening pleasure, featuring the very rad Mr. Andras Jones, fresh from our Nightmare on Elm Street watchalong last week.

If you missed the first pod I did with him way back when I first started Geek Tawk you can check out my classic fangirl goofiness here: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/z7TSsyvS8gUh8zN68

In this one, though, ...

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Collegiate Edition 2

A person who can be convinced to enroll in a college by a tv commercial is a person who probably shouldn't be going to college. 

The Fly & The Swarm (Air Date: 1/3/97)

Happy Splatterday Night, Patreon Pals! Tonight’s ep starts with a deep dive on condoms, and just goes *up* from there. 😉

Two frightfully fun flicks tonight, including The Fly, which he calls “the best horror flick of the 80s”. It‘s great, of corpse, but I’m partial to The Fly 2, personally. I’m always down for a freaky bug movie, though, so I’m totally here for Insect Night! Since he mentions Them!, here’s our pic from when we showed it at the Mahoning Jamboree.

Friday Fun AND Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day

I figured I’d combine ‘em instead of blowing up your notifications. 😉

This is a lil clip that didn’t make it into the Boggy Creek vid I posted on YT a while back. It was our very first look at The Apache Drive-In (aka The Porn Drive-In) in Tyler, Texas. I just thought it was cute & might put a 😃 on your face tonight.

And here’s what’s on JB’s mind right now :

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: U-Haul Edition

    Folks in Texas have said to me, "I can't stand it here, I'm moving to California." And folks in California have said to me, "I can't stand it here, I'm moving to Texas." In both cases the subject is politics.

     In other words, they wanna live in a place where everyone agrees with them. 

    I call it Psychotherapy by U-Haul.

Dirty Laundry, Tiffany Jones, Julia & Glitch (Air Date: 8/25/89)

(Intro: 1:30, Outro: 5:03)

Happy Humpday, Homies! Tonight’s Drive-In Theater has me very intrigued. I want to find out what  “VCR Overnight” means, and I MUST watch all these movies!! (Except the first one… 😋) I’m thinking we should hold our own lil all night watchalong of these sometime. I’ll give ya deets after I scheme them up. 😉❤️❤️

It’s also the closest ep to today’s date I was gonna get, and I love when that happens! It aired 33 years ago t...

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Reality Check Edition

     We're always being told how many "friends" we have, how many “likes" we have, how many "followers" we have, but we would all have better personalities if the online algorithms did the opposite:

     7.752 billion people on Earth have never heard of you

     7.712 billion people don't speak English as a first language so they'll probably never hear of you no matter what you do

     7.7...

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Horoscope Edition.

    According to my horoscope, today is "a good day to reflect on creativity in all its forms."

     Fuck you.

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Grocery Store Edition

    For about three million years, my grocery store gave out free bags.
     I realize that the bag wasn't free. I realize that the price of the
bag was just figured into the price of whatever I was buying. Everything
I bought was just a little bit more expensive because the grocery store
knew that, when I left, I was gonna TAKE A BAG.
     Then the grocery store started charging 5 cents a bag. This was
annoying...

Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Ukraine Edition

People with strong opinions about the Ukraine war are inversely acquainted with a) war, b) the logistics of war, and c) the wisdom to know that "winning" is impossible.

Sinbad and The Eye of the Tiger & Clash of the Titans (Air Date: 3/27/99)

Happy Splatterday, Patreon Pals, and welcome to Harryhausen night!! Not only do we get to watch these two total classics from the stop-motion master, but we also get a rare visit from the OG Ernie! You’ll get to see the MV floor director our beloved bearded dragon was named after. 🥰

Enjoy…TOTD coming up in just a few! ❤️
