A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Monstervision was a show I grew up with. From late night hosting with Penn and Teller to the one, the only, Joe Bob Briggs. The show kept me up Friday nights back in my high school years, and provided some of the best drive-in memories to ever come outside of the drive-in.Without a doubt, the best late night television ever. If you didn't stay up, you were missing out.I know John Bloom and Joe Bob live on, but I want them back where they belong...MONSTERVISION! Question...did anyone else sit through all 4 hours of "The Swarm" ? q:)Long live Monstervision!

Nobody here seems to remember MonsterVision before Joe Bob Briggs. While he is, by far, the most memorable host they ever had, there lots of great ones before like Penn and Teller. One time they hosted "Night of the Lepus" a crappy flick about giant killer rabbits. Before the commercial break, Penn and Teller demonstrated how the special effects were done. He let a group of rabbits loose in a miniature town set and screamed like crazy "everybody run! killer Rabbits!!!" It was absolutely hysterical.During that time, they played classic monster movies, some really great ones like The Blob and The Thing, but also lots of really bad ones like The Cyclops and The Giant Claw. One time they played Godzilla marathons all night, the last Saturday of every month. It wasn't until Job Bob took over the show, when they started playing slasher flicks like Friday the 13th. His drive in totals are now infamous. Great memories. Wish TNT would bring it back.

Ah, yes, Joe Bob Briggs, host of TNT's Monstervision!The show was a great movie show and Joe Bob was a great horror movie host. I liked the episodes where he sat outside his trailer instead of inside it. That's a weird quirk for me, but I liked the outside of the trailer rather than inside it.Joe Bob was and is a great movie host like Commander USA but the show got a bit dull towards the end of its run. They started doing this annoying shot towards the end of the series where they would cut to Joe Bob after a commercial and then pan past some tacky looking scrub brush and up to Joe Bob sitting outside his trailer. What was with that shot? Maybe I'm nitpicking but that annoyed the hell outta me.And the banter with Reno the mail girl was great. I never liked Rusty the mail girl though. She was just an annoying bimbette. Long live Reno and long live Joe Bob!And I especially loved the Monstervision music video. With the song lyrics "tearin' the heart out of Saturday Night". I guess it was just more of an extended promo for the show, but I still dug it!

This show has become a tradition with me and my brother.Every saturday i watch and i get upset if i fall asleep in the middle of it.Most of the movies are good or are classics,but every once in a while they show a cheese flick or two.On a scale of * being horrid and ***** being great id give it a ****************
