Legendary horror host and film critic Joe Bob Briggs, of 'MonsterVision' and 'Joe Bob's Drive-In Theater,' is appearing at the Archive Videostore in Aurora this weekend.
We caught up with Joe Bob ahead of his appearance to discuss his long career and the ever-changing landscape of the movies.. How do you approach your programming for the show?
Well, a lot of it is just based on what we can get our hands on. ... We have to license everything that we show on Shudder. ... That means we can't always show what we want to show, and we feel really lucky when we get some of these big titles. ... I always start out with a wish list, and a lot of my wishes get dashed immediately.In the ’90s, when I was at MonsterVision, if you wanted to show, Paramount would just say,"Sure, we don't care." And it's not like that anymore.
I don't know exactly what happened. I guess streaming happened. I remember when I would do my books, I would want to use stills from the movies, and I would call up Paramount: 'I want to use this still from.' They'd say, 'Okay, $250.' I'd say 'Oh, I can't afford $250.' 'Okay, just use it.' They didn't care. So it's a very different world now.
