Join Mike out back for a drink as he decompresses from a hectic week of teaching summer camp and remembers the life and times of Wayne Newton, who’s still alive, but, ya know, kinda forgotten these days…

In other news: we’re watching Joe Bob Briggs host “Donnie Darko” (2001) on his late night horror show, “The Last Drive-In”. Also: what the h-e-double-hell is “Donnie Darko” about anyway? And recounting the career resurgence of Drive-In movie critic Joe Bob Briggs — how he’s gone from a forgotten 90s TV celebrity to doing personal appearances for 10 people in Corn Country to suddenly being on top again — at least, in the so-called “horror community”.

Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he remembers the time he met the cast of 1987’s “The Monster Squad,” and how they took off with his social security number. Also, are movies over? That’s the question after the mega-budget “Mad Max” movie bombed last week. Mike investigates, though he gets sidetracked by how much a Youtuber talking about the same subject looks like a werewolf. Anyway…

In other news: the real-life “Dennis the Menace,” awaiting trial for terrorizing his neighborhood with a slingshot, dies at 81; remembering “Creepfest,” my late-night horror hosting show; making a whiskey sour (sans egg white); how to pick up girls with magic!

Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he mulls over the mental gymnastics of playing violent video games. Does good karma extend to the virtual world also?

In other news, I’m sequestered in my house lately due to (yet another!) car issue; my absurd back-and-forth with a service lady at the dealership; a new “Adults Only” library in Idaho; what the Kevin Bacon movie “White Water Summer” (1987) can teach teachers about teaching; the collatoral tragedy of Sean Young’s firing from Batman, and much more!

Join Mike outside for a whiskey on a mild May night, and, later, on a drive through the streets of Birmingham, where he remembers the old 90s joke about how RadioShack wanted to know all your personal business.

Also: how I got fired from my new job this week; all about my basset hound Izzy’s risky surgery to remove a mass; Larry Sanders; “The Jinx: Part II”; Roger Corman.
