Joe Bob Briggs invades the Alamo one last time!



In this last month at the Alamo, we have asked some of our favorite guests of all time to come back, hang out, drink a few beers and savor the flavor of the original Alamo Drafthouse one last time. When asked, fellow Texan and cult movie afficionado Joe Bob Briggs responded quickly in the affirmative. We'll have two shows on Saturday, June, 16, both hosted by Joe Bob.

First is THE TEXAS SHOW with Joe Bob and eminent Texas historian Don Graham. Through film clips, the two will discuss two kinds of Texas history: the real story and the "reel story." The two will provide info and patter on a series of stills and clips from Texas movies going back to the silent days and forward into the 1980s. Forgotten stars, forgotten films, and a history of a time when Texas was bigger than life itself. It will be a snappy overview/history of the image of Texas & Texas in the movies, from prehistoric times to the 1980s...

For the late show, Joe Bob will introduce and explain the legacy behind the legendary sexploitation classic MOM AND DAD. One of the oldest and most influential roadshow exploitation movies of all time, MOM AND DAD toured the drive-ins and rural theaters for nearly 40 years, making it one of the most profitable films of all time.

Join us for a night of humor, rare film, education and maybe even a little debauchery as we welcome back Joe Bob Briggs to the theater... one last time.
