You're making me feel better that it doesn't seem like I'm missing much.

Unfortunately you didn't. Even twd fans don't seem super into it
I like that he has the opportunity for the exposure to other groups of horror fans though. There's probably a decent chance new fans could come from specials like this.
Now if Shudder would just give him a larger budget and film library to work with but I'll take what I can get as long as Darcy is there too.

We've officially got a sixth season that's going to have a lot more than usual.

Only 1 episode a night sounds way better. I'm getting to old to stay up until 1:30am watching double features.
Oh wow this is exciting stuff. Curious what the set will look like at the new filming location
Yeah, I hardly ever make it through to the end of the second movie. I'm guessing analytics show that's not unusual, either.
A new episode every other week, though? Did I read that right? Seems like an odd solution
Sounds like a good format. I can't remember whether I've been able to stay awake for the second film at all this whole year. Focusing on one and spreading the season out over a longer range with biweekly episodes is all good news imo.
Definitely a fan of one episode a week, not so much every other week airing schedule. Love having JB to look forward to every Friday. Hope this change doesn't hurt the numbers with some potentially falling off. Does AMC have a series that does that where its proven to retain engagement? Seems like an odd move and one to create the illusion of a longer season.
Still, super happy for the shows success and AMC's belief in it, and the move to the Walking Dead lot seems like a great fit. God bless Nicotero and Co.

Hype for more but disappointed in every other week (even if it does work better with my now busier schedule). I liked having something to catch up on every week.
Im ok with single movies, I wish they were on weekly though. But to have episodes throughout the year is s nice touch. Either way, look forward to geeking out with all of you when this starts back up.
30 movies with one movie every other week is 60 weeks? Maybe specials will be double features still.
I love the one episode format. I just cant stay up that late anymore. It's 2 am sometime when the second finally ends. This feels much more exciting & I love we've got 3 specials coming too!
I get the feeling that they understand their audience can't stay awake for the second films like we could during the days of MonsterVision and Up All Night.
I also think the every other week format could be both to give JBB and Darcy a break as well as ensuring that they can still make your/convention dates happen.

Easier to program single film blocks, too. I see it as a win.
My assumption was always that they filmed like 10 of these at a time, like Jeopardy or some shit.
They do AFAIK. I recall Diana posting in a blog once that they filmed one of the seasons in like 4 days.

I'm totally fine with the single film format change, but the every other week schedule is less than ideal.
I think the difference between The Last Drive-In and MonsterVision is Joe Bob is basically given free reign to go as long as he wants during his segments on Shudder, whereas on MonsterVision his segments were rapid fire by comparison to make time for commercials. A single movie on TLDI can almost take as long as two films on MonsterVision. That's why it's so hard to stay awake for a TLDI double feature.

I'm just glad we're getting more. I was feeling a liiiiiiittle nervous with all of the layoffs at amc.
I think those suits know that Shudder has carved out a nice chunk in a niche audience, has an ever growing fan base, and TLDI is the thing that draws viewers to the service over anything else. But I get where your nervousness would come from. I thought Shudder might get the axe for a moment.

If anything I could see it being folded into AMC+ at some point.

I was already planning to watch Halloween on the 31st as the last film of my month of horror, but I guess I'll shuffle things around 'cause I really wanna see this one.
Editing for TV is hilarious to me
You can show a girl being stabbed to death, but god forbid you see her bare breasts

So I own this movie on DVD somewhere but hell if I remember anything about it. Love The Smiths getting airplay at the party too.
I always loved how this movie took a different approach then the first film while maintaining everything that made the first special. It's got such a charm to it. Honestly, I might like this one more than the first.
