It is definitely safe to say, that The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs has been nothing short of a runaway success on Shudder. After all, season one straight up broke Shudder because no one had any idea how many people were going to tune in, and that demand gave rise to one amazing six-year journey. Wherein we’ve enjoyed stunning screenings with Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl, the kind that have offered amazing commentary, in-depth interviews and charity to help others in need out and well, with season six winding down, Joe Bob and Shudder thought it best to bid farewell to the season in the most epic way imaginable.
