Joe Bob BriggsJoe Bob Briggs (born John Irving Bloom) is a syndicated film critic specializing in humorous but appreciative reviews of b-movies and cult films, which he calls drive-in movies. His columns characteristically conclude with a brief summary of the "high points" of the movie in question, including the types of action (represented by nouns naming objects used in fight scenes suffixed with -fu), the number of breasts bared, and the exhortation "Joe Bob says check it out." Particularly gorey movies also had a "vomit meter". A typical such concluding paragraph would be, "Table-fu. Pool cue-fu. Bulldozer-fu. Four breasts. A 68 on the vomit meter. Joe Bob says check it out." Bloom was raised in Texas and Arkansas. He has also appeared on television as a host of TNT's MonsterVision horror movie marathons. In addition, some of his writing can be seen in "Choice: The Best of Reason", a compilation of the libertarian magazine's work over the past four decades. His movie reviews are collected in the now out-of-print books "Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In" and "Joe Bob Goes Back to the Drive-In." His most recent book, "Profoundly Disturbing: Shocking Movies that Changed History," contains all-new material. Recently, Briggs has contributed audio commentaries to DVDs released by Media Blasters and Elite Entertainment including Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter, The Double-D Avenger, Blood Sisters, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, Blood Shack, Warlock Moon, and Samurai Cop.
