See Joe Bob in Atlanta this Weekend! "How Rednecks Saved Hollywood"

 

Tickets are available for performances of Joe Bob's live show at Boggs Social Supply in Atlanta on November 13 or November 14th!

“How Rednecks Saved Hollywood” is Joe Bob's multi-media standup-comedy rant featuring 200 clips and stills covering the complete history of rednecks in America as told through the classics of both grindhouse and mainstream movies.

Rave Reviews from Our Redneck Brothers and Sisters:

 

Having the opportunity to witness the South By Southwest premiere for How Rednecks Saved Hollywood, I can attest that Joe Bob's thesis is far better than any TED Talk you'll ever see.

Part history lesson, part clip show, and all entertaining, Joe Bob’s How Rednecks Saved Hollywood is the man wholly in his element: hilarious, insightful, and courageously plain spoken.

How Rednecks Saved Hollywood was an absolute highlight of South By Southwest and an event that fans of Joe Bob Briggs and redneck movies alike should check out. Even if you are only a fan of one or the other, there is no doubt you’ll be entertained and enlightened for the duration of the event.

Joe Bob Briggs would probably blanch at the description, but the cult movie enthusiast, humorist and media personality is above all an astute social critic. All his wit, politically incorrect quips and keen insight into Americans — particularly Americans who reside south of the Mason-Dixon line — was running full throttle when How Rednecks Saved Hollywood, Joe Bob’s freewheeling comedic history lesson peppered with exploitation and mainstream movie clips, kicked some serious ass with a sellout crowd at the Back Alley Film Series and Charlotte Film Society’s presentation at C3 Lab Saturday night. …A rollicking yet well-researched history of the origin of rednecks and our culture’s love-hate affair with them.

Joe Bob has still got it! We were lucky to host Joe Bob's live event "How Rednecks Saved Hollywood" and it was so fun and funny. Joe Bob graciously stayed after the show and took pictures and signed autographs for all his fans too! They had come out of the woodwork to see the great Joe Bob!

Joe Bob's performance at our theatre was one of the more unique events we've ever hosted! Our audience marveled and laughed while learning a new history behind some of their favorite films, taught by an icon of genre cinema. As entertaining as it was informative, film fans hung on Joe Bob's every word while taking in the expertly crafted multi-media presentation. We can't wait to have him back for another in-depth and hysterical look at our favorite movies!

Joe Bob Briggs is the Henri Langlois of exploitation film. He’s already a cinema saint, and if I were you, I’d pray for his guidance.

Joe Bob's America is Back!

 

JOE BOB’S AMERICA IS BACK

After getting kicked out of every decent publication in America, I’ve found a new home at the “Lost Drive-In” Patreon (don’t worry, the column is free), where all my archived videos are being restored, digitized and preserved. This will probably be bi-weekly but I never know what fresh time-wasting hell will be thrown my way as I re-launch the “How Rednecks Saved Hollywood” live show, continue to create new specials and series for Shudder, and hit the convention circuit whenever requested. (Look for an email with my full appearance schedule soon.)

The grand plan is to continue to do the two weekly columns that I wrote for several decades—this one and “Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In”—but without any intermediaries this time. As usual, I’m dedicated to having the last non-partisan forum in America, neither left nor Right, neither Democrat nor Republican, neither conservative nor liberal, which everyone around me regards as a quaint idea doomed to failure.

So, in the words of Captain Edward Smith, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our maiden voyage!” . . .

Smushing People Together to Fight COVID

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Have you ever considered that maybe all the Customer Assistance reps—those perky people with headsets sitting in cubicles in Sandpoint, Idaho, the ones you talk to after listening to 45 minutes of cool-jazz vibraphone music or, for the especially cute mega-corporations, an endless loop of “Hold the Line” by Toto—are lifetime subscribers to QAnon Weekly and believe that the New World Order has regular meetings in a secret bunker underneath the Denver airport?

The reason I ask is that most of them seem to believe that COVID-19 is so powerful it can hamper the ability of trucks to run down the interstate, infect telephone lines, and turn tanning beds into weapons of mass destruction.

“This donut I’m buying—normally it has sprinkles on it.”

“Sorry, sir, COVID-19. We can’t use sprinkles during the pandemic.”

I mean, there are 794 new things every week that people say you just can’t do during a pandemic, none of them having anything to do with masking, vaxxing, hand-washing, or cramming 65,000 people into Raymond James Stadium, which is exactly what the Bucs will be doing Thursday night when they host the Cowboys.

Most hotels now refuse to clean your room while you’re staying in it—unless you need cleaning.

In other words, it’s excessively dangerous for a vaccinated hotel employee to enter a hotel room with mask and latex gloves in order to restock the mini-fridge and fluff a pillow or two—but if you call the front desk and say “I’d really like you to come clean the room today,” the danger disappears and they say, “Certainly, Mister Briggs, we’ll send someone right up!” The implications of this policy are that my personal preferences have the supernatural power to neutralize all respiratory droplets when my pillow needs fluffing. At the Hampton Inn, I become the CIA Mind-Control Section Chief.

The amazing thing is that most people think all the COVID-19 policies sound reasonable.

"Yeah, that makes sense, of course you can’t answer your phone at the Customer Service Answering-the-Phone Department—COVID-19!”

"You missed another deadline on the Cleveland Project write-up? Who could blame you? You probably have to Lysol your computer screen a hundred and fifty times a day.”

Am I the only person who thinks COVID-19 has become a giant version of a “Gone Fishing” sign?

Joe Bob Briggs Presents "THE WARRIORS" in New York -- One Night Only

 

THE WARRIORS
Hosted by Joe Bob Briggs

The Little Theatre
240 East Avenue, Rochester, N.Y.
Saturday, October 1
8 p.m.

(Come early for signing and schmoozing.)

Joe Bob will be appearing for one night only at the historic Little Theatre in downtown Rochester. The Little Theatre was part of the Little Cinema movement of the 1920s, part of the revolt against canned Hollywood product, meaning they’ve been showing independent films and foreign films since the silent era—87 years, to be precise.

We’re celebrating the Walter Hill cult classic The Warriors, based on the 1965 Sol Yurick about New York gangs, which was in turn based on the Anabasis by the Greek soldier Xenophon, which was an account of the 10,000 Greek mercenaries who got stranded near Baghdad and had to fight their way all the way back to Greece—1200 miles!

After the screening we’ll have a question and answer session. Before the screening Joe Bob will be signing posters, books, shirts, photos, whatever.

This event is being sponsored by the guys who run Fright-Rags, and there’s a possibility that they’ll still have a few of the MonsterVision shirts that went on sale earlier this week. (The posters sold out in 30 minutes.)
