Joe Bob's Errand Into Infinity I don’t think anything would break my heart as much as finding out that the production of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs was some slick, polished

Good lord this was four years ago. In 2022 I visited the set of THE LAST DRIVE-IN, and it turned out to be one of my favorite things I’ve ever written. A long-ish Sunday read for you. www.fangoria.com/joe-bobs-err...

Some great writing from Todd Farmer. Heartbreaking, then inspirational, a call for empathy in a world that doesn't always seem capable of it. And now I'm excited to check out his novels, too!

Break a leg (x3)!
