==Summary==
Joe Bob, now writing for different papers after apparently being fired from the ''Dallas Times-Herald'' in 1985, continues with drive-in movie criticism. The fake stories surrounding and couching each review are noticeably reduced in this book, and almost all of Joe Bob's fictional friends - except for Chubb Fricke - have basically wandered out of the ongoing, almost [[soap opera]]-like plot of the book.

In addition to the reviews and ''Joe Bob's Mailbag'', this book also has two new features. The first is ''Communist Alert!'', in which Joe Bob singles out and derides someone, somewhere, for an act that goes against Joe Bob's principles (such as the banning of a [[breast]] calendar for breast cancer awareness). These ended with "Remember: without eternal vigilance, it can happen here."

The second is a review of a [[VHS]] movie of drive-in quality, after Joe Bob became an overnight VHS convert. These are always shorter than the 'feature' review, and actually lend an A movie - B movie [[double feature]] feel to his work.
