Shudder’s The Last Drive-In returns tonight with a Joe Bob’s Savage Summer special, scheduled to start at 9 PM Eastern according to promotional posts. Viewers are organizing watch parties and some contributors say they are temporarily handing hosting duties to Sara Michelle for the evening. Several posts identify the film I Spit on Your Grave as part of the lineup and debate its revenge-plot elements, with repeated mentions of characters Jennifer, Matthew, and Johnny and heated condemnation of Matthew’s actions. Commenters describe the film’s portrayal of rape and revenge in blunt terms, call Jennifer’s retaliation dispassionate and necessary, and compare the film’s themes to real-world true-crime behavior such as the BTK killer. Other posts note viewers queued additional shock material like Faces of Death before the main show. The program’s return has prompted a steady stream of real-time commentary about gender, culpability, and vigilante justice as the special prepares to air.
