It seems like years ago, but once upon a time I was reviewing movies and television shows for Joe Bob Briggs. Back then Joe Bob was publishing an actual newsletter that one could subscribe to and receive the old fashion way. Namely via the U.S. Postal Service. For more than two years I would receive a package containing one or more video tapes, which I would then review and pass along to the next member of the Drive-In Movie Review committee.

I started with horror movies, than on to low-budget films of all types and finally to reviewing releases of television shows and made-for-TV movies. You never knew what you might find, but most of the time you were amazed and sometimes delighted to get the chance to see something that probably fewer than a couple of thousand folks would ever see.

Hell, how many out there ever even heard of CANNIBAL CONFEDERATES, LET'S SHOVE STEPHANIE IN THE INCINERATOR or DEATH TO THE PEE WEE SQUAD?

Anyway, Joe Bob is still doing things right over at his website, THE JOE BOB REPORT. You'll find not only his reviews, but also a great archives of his other writing (and even some guy named John Bloom, whom looks awfully familiar). Try something a little bit different, you won't regret it. I've even made it easy for you by adding a link over on the side.

Steve Bob says check it out!
