Drive-In Theater was a huge inspiration for me as a little kid. Both it and USA's 'Up All Night' aired a whole lot of quirky movies that you typically wouldn't see on tv elsewhere. The interactive host segments added another layer to the experience. Always loved hearing the Joe Bob reviews and rants and similarly the silly segments from Up All Night were fun as well. Nearly all of these movies have blus or dvds by now and so I don't really want to watch them on tv, but I certainly appreciate that a show like this is around. The internet and the death of the video store kind of changed the experience over the years, but I really loved discovering these kinds of movies back then during simpler times.
