Tenebrae - Joe Bob's Last Drive-In notes

 While I don't agree with Joe Bob on the tracking shot around the "Mussolini building", I see why it seems superfluous to him. With the music by "three members of Goblin" accompanying the camera wrapping around the maddening structure it's chum I will always want my fill.

That shot of Daria in the back seat of the car as it rains, her hair wet, shock and terror in her face, recalling Suspiria and Inferno...I love those Argento callbacks.

Joe Bob's explanation about why Franciosa is a great fit for the novelist instead of Walkin...I see where he's coming from. Loved Joe Bob telling us a lot about Franciosa, including his issues with folks in Hollywood. I also thought Franciosa just fit the likable author with a very psychopathic side that unleashes some blood splattery carnage at the end.

This was a big hit on the Shudder Joe Bob Live Discussion Reddit thread.
