Fans will gather for a double feature event like no other, hosted by America’s favorite drive-in critic and his cosplaying partner-in-crime. Audiences can look forward to back-to-back screenings of Don Coscarelli’s Bubba Ho-Tep (2003) and Allan Arkush’s Rock ’n’ Roll High School (1979).
The evening will kick off with an intro by Briggs, with meet-and-greets and signings taking place throughout the event. Mutant merch will be available for sale.
Between features, there will be a Q&A moderated by Hudson Valley Trivia Company’s own John “JB” Bryan and Paul Kalnitzy. If there’s any Drive-In facts you’ve ever wanted to know, now’s your chance to ask Joe Bob and Darcy personally!
Band members of TV Stone and Frenchy and the Punk will join the fun to pay homage to some punk rockers from beyond the grave. And yes, guests are also encouraged to come dressed as their favorite rockstars. It is, after all, Cult of the Rockstar Night!
Doors will open at 6PM and the show begins at 7PM. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster. Don’t wait to get yours! This ain’t basic cable, so there will be no re-runs, but there will be a fresh list of drive-in totals AND gratuitous antics.
Joe Bob says, “check it out.”
About Joe Bob Briggs
Joe Bob Briggs is the nationally syndicated “drive-in movie critic” who turned late-night television into a cult phenomenon with Joe Bob’s Drive-In Theater (The Movie Channel) and MonsterVision (TNT). Today, he keeps the drive-in spirit alive on AMC’s Shudder with The Last Drive-In, where he champions the weird, wild, and wonderful corners of cinema.
About Darcy the Mail Girl
Beloved by fans as the co-host of The Last Drive-In, Darcy the Mail Girl (aka Diana Prince) is a horror superfan, cosplayer, and actress who has become a fixture in the cult film community. Beyond her on-screen banter with Joe Bob, she co-hosts the AEW-some Wrestling Podcast and is a frequent guest at conventions nationwide.
About Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
The King ain’t dead…he’s just older, meaner and ready for one last fight. Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Maniac Cop, Burn Notice) plays Elvis in a Texas nursing home, teaming with Ossie Davis (Do the Right Thing, Grumpy Old Men) as JFK to take down a soul-sucking mummy in cowboy boots. It’s pure cult magic where horror, comedy and rock ’n’ roll refuse to die.
About Rock ’n’ Roll High School (1979)
PJ Soles (Halloween, Carrie, Stripes) is Riff Randell, the ultimate Ramones superfan. She’s a rebel with a record player and punk rock is the only weapon loud enough to bring Vince Lombardi High School’s tyrannical leader, Principal Togar, to her knees. Rock ’n’ Roll High School is the cult classic that taught us all to turn it up and never back down.
