Yes, and it took me forever to actually hear anything from Joe Bob on that very role. He addresses it in this video:

Casino is brought up at around the 6:28-mark, although you're going to watch the whole clip anyway, c'mon now.

I've been going back and hitting all the Shudder-hosted films that I missed the first time around. Tonight's viewing was for my first-time watch of Castle Freak, which had its moments, but kinda felt more rushed and slight as the film wore on. The ending was kind of a letdown in its execution. The credits started rolling and I was like "Hmmm, that's it?" Very predictable.

The one big surprise of the film is actually spoiled by Joe Bob in one of the earlier segments. It even looked like Barbara Crampton took pause when she heard him nonchalantly mention it so early on. So, if you want to go in totally fresh, maybe watch the film on its own first, and then go back and watch the Joe Bob intermissions.

I thought Castle Freak was a creepy little monster movie. I really enjoyed it.

It's perfectly fine. It just felt like it was missing something. I don't know what exactly. The final act of the film was just so predictable that I could have set a metronome to the plot points and scene changes. I'm glad I saw it though, as it does have some definite levels of old school no-apology exploitation that I definitely appreciated. Curious to see the remake, which was scheduled to premiere this month, but who knows now.

Some interesting details about Season 2. He says there's more 70's films this time around and there'll be two world premieres. Let the speculation begin about what those could be. I have no idea.

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.

Only three days left!

BeastCreatureTrapper · 04-21-2020, 08:07 PM

As these are obviously filmed ahead of time, it will be interesting to see how the pandemic will or (most likely) won't be addressed during the hosted segments. I kinda like the idea of there not being a peep about it.

Joe Bob's newsletter revealed that movie #2 of this Friday's season premiere will be Bloodsucking Freaks co-hosted by wrestler (and BF fan) Chris Jericho. Movie #1 features a beloved '80s actress who will be interviewed during the film. I think I actually heard Joe Bob mention on a podcast or somewhere that every episode this season will have a guest of some sort.

Michael24 · 04-23-2020, 03:41 AM

I wonder who the beloved '80s actress could be. Linnea Quigley? Brinke Stevens?

Given that it's Bloodsucking Freaks, we're almost all-but-guaranteed to

I'm so excited for Friday. It seems like no matter how old I get, and no matter how many times I'm reminded of it in life's diminishing returns, movie night with Joe Bob never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Those were the first two names that came to my mind.

Dumb question but is this show on the Shudder app? Thinking of signing up for a trial.

Michael24 · 04-23-2020, 11:26 PM

I'm not sure how Shudder works when people get it through other places like Amazon. But I have the Shudder app on my Apple TV and it has three separate live feed channels. This show airs on the one called It Came From Shudder. The episodes are typically available the next day to watch on demand, too.

profholt82 · 04-24-2020, 07:21 PM

Pumped for the season premiere tonight!

Mine is set up through my amazon prime. Basically, I open up the prime app on my tv, and the additional streaming subscriptions I have are listed at the top of the screen right in the prime interface. This works the same for all streaming services that are purchasable through amazon prime (hbo, hulu, etc).

I could probably download the app directly through the Samsung store to keep it separate, but it's convenient having several different services all accessible in the same place.

Joe Bob's shirt tonight is quietly epic.

Great first film choice, along with a great GREAT first guest.

master gandhi · 04-25-2020, 02:10 AM

This is officially the first time watching it live. Before it was always OnDemand, but this time I decided to subscribe directly off the website using the SHUTIN promo code for a free 30 days. I’m excited to be watching it immediately.

Also watched all the Cursed Films episodes on Shutter this week. That Twilight Zone: The Movie episode was a doozy with actual footage of Vic Morrow and the kids being killed.

Wonder what the second film will be. :-D

And for those who'd like to know, the uncut version of the infamous Bloodsucking Freaks is the 2nd movie of tonight's double feature.

Michael24 · 04-25-2020, 06:04 AM

This was my second or third time seeing Chopping Mall. Fun movie and Kelli Maroney was a great guest.

Bloodsucking Freaks was absolutely dreadful. One of the worst, most tedious things I've ever sat through, which I only did so that I could enjoy the Joe Bob segments. If I'd rented or been streaming this on its own, I never would have finished it.
