SPOILER ALERT: If you see this article, DO NOT click it. The headline is clickbait, and once it's open, it literally says that AMC is not axing Shudder. No joke. Once you've read that, they've already made $$ off your click.

Wishing a very fond farewell to the legendary M. Emmett Walsh, who passed away yesterday at age 88. 😢
With over 200 credits to his name (including Blade Runner, Critters & Tales from the Crypt), Walsh was truly one of the greatest character actors in screen history.
#MutantFam
I'm unsure if Joe Bob has plans of owning his own drive-in, but wouldn't it be cool if the entire

EXCLUSIVE: Joe Bob is back in town as the genre-focused streaming service Shudder has opted not to slash, but to extend his virally popular horror variety series, ‘The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs,’ bringing it back for a “supersized” sixth season
Hey Mutants, it’s Kirk!

Hello, Mutants!
We've seen grumbling about Shudder splitting up Season 5, & it's understandable! We're always impatient for episodes!
But you ask us, faulting Shudder for the new schedule downplays everything they brought to us, including… The Last Drive-In 🤠

In the mid-90s, a teenage me watched a 70s show on the Sci-Fi Channel that was amazing.
It had such a great premise: a reporter investigates different monsters each week. I'm speaking of Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

We’re mourning the passing of Tina Turner at age 83.
Tina Turner was the Queen of Rock n’ Roll but was also incomparable in genre films like Tommy, Last Action Hero and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
She was fierce and definitely did things the Drive In way. 🎸
