Ever heard of Joe Bob Briggs?

[PrincessGrail]

He’s a comedian who used to have a show on Showtime. He played a redneck who made fun of bad movies, but he’s really a nice Jewish guy who went to film school at Vanderbilt.

He also played a crooked redneck politician in Casino.

Vanderbilt’s a Southern school, so I’m guessing that’s where he got the redneck idea from.

LOL I've heard of him. Not too familiar, but he was someone whop got brought up every so often when I was in film school.

[PrincessGrail]

Cool

Yeah, I used to read his columns in the Dallas Times Herald -- Joe Bob Briggs' Drive-in Movie reviews. Hilarious.

[PrincessGrail]

That’s him.

[slatyb]

His real name is John Bloom.

[PrincessGrail]

I know. I read a little about him in one of his old books.

[Elliegirl]

I’m a little surprised I haven’t heard about him considering I’m a Vandy girl.

[PrincessGrail]

Awesome!!

He graduated back in the Eighties.

I remember that, he was like a weird cowboy version of Elvira, the whole "monster vision" thing. Wow, that was awhile ago.

[PrincessGrail]

Back in the Nineties.
