Joe Bob and Darcy (Diana),
My name is, well, the Super Duper Senior and let's just say I am a huge fan.
For Joe Bob, I have practically grown up watching you on TNT's "Monstervision". I also remember you hosting a Black Emanuele marathon on Showtime. I don't think I should've been watching Italian exploitation at that age but thank you for introducing me to the insanity of Joe D'Amato. I honestly don't think I would have the same desire for z grade and exploitation films if it were not for you.
Darcy, I could write a book about how much heart you have that is equal to your beauty. To step in front of a camera every week and show your passion for movies that some would consider "garbage" (not me, of course) with knowledge and humor takes bravery, more than you'll ever know.
I want to thank you both for "The Last Drive-In", a show that has brought film fans joy and happiness in what is very difficult times. It's an escape, just like drive-ins I grew up going to and it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, just come and be fans of movies with other fans. People have even adopted the name #MutantFam because, again, the show has brought people together, like a family.
Sadly, I can't call myself a member of the mutant fam because I've practically sat out this whole season. This year has been a little rough for me, and instead of sitting in with the fam, I've become withdrawn from most things I enjoy, that includes The Last Drive-In. Seeing my friends watch and talk about it, I feel like my presence would only bring a cloud of negativity to their good time so I sit out.
What I enjoy though is the two of you bring to them. They talk about how much they enjoy it, from the choice in movies to Darcy's outfits, guests and Joe Bob's words of wisdom. All of this makes them happy and their joy makes me smile or at least smirk.
In the end, thank you for all the joy you two bring to people and I hope season 3 is in the works. I'll try to make it.
From the bottom of my heart,
✌ and 💓
