Slaughterhouse (1987) / Joe Bob Brigg's Last Drive-In
If I hadn't just watched this not too long ago on Tubi (it's one of those like "Mountaintop Motel Massacre", a low budget slasher that you just expect to find on Tubi), this showing on Joe Bob's Last Drive-In would have been more entertaining. I still enjoyed it for JB's spirited conversations with just-not-having-it vegan, Darcy, the Mail Girl (Diana Prince) about hogs and hot dogs. JB goes out of his way to get into all the gory details. Showing another film with animal violence (pig industry works) will be certain to draw the dire of rights activists. On the Reddit Shudder board, there was a lot of outrage towards the fake hamster death in "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane".
I have to say, though, that "Slaughterhouse" is ideal for a Joe Bob special. It's the kind of slasher trash one might consider fitting for a Friday junk food night. Les Bacon, to me, does give Farmer Vincent Smith of "Motel Hell" some competition in the nutty butcher department. But the characters Buddy kills are often so hilariously moronic. Just move that way, don't go over there, perhaps don't go to a slaughterhouse during a thunderstorm.
