Joe Bob Briggs is alive and well and on the web, reviewing B-movies, posting his Week in Review (a blog, essentially), and more.

No breasts. (Automatic one-half-star deduction.) Three dead bodies. One dead dog. One drooling sleazeball mental health professional. Shovel to the noggin. Chained psychiatrist-baking. Medication flushing. Bloody guardian angel. Multiple hot-tub canoodling. Ear rolls. Gratuitous torch-singing. Motor vehicle Fu. Cameo by Reggie Bannister, of "Phantasm" fame. Drive-In Academy Award nominations for Justine Priestley, as the Babe From Hell, for saying "It's not the smoke that kills--it's the smoker" and "You made love to me in your hot tub--don't you recognize my voice!"; Karen Grosso, as the career-obsessed wife, who says "It does look better if people think I'm single"; and Michael Rissi, the writer/director, for doing things the drive-in way.

He makes these movies sound so much fun, I once sought out a couple of them -- Caged Heat 2 and Scorned. My god. I could feel my IQ dropping.
