Welcome to the Weekend Drive-In! Some guys spend the weekends watching sports. I, however, dedicate every weekend to B-movies, classic TV shows, rock n’ roll, comics and other “drive-in” style fare. Stay tuned to this blog for news, reviews and previews of what’s on cable/satellite TV each weekend. Also look for updates from the world of cult films, rock music and similar-minded topics. So, grab a cocktail, kick back and enjoy your visit to the Weekend Drive-In!

Demonic Cars Make Great Playthings
Long before James Brolin became Mr. Barbara Streisand, he battled a demonic sedan in "The Car."
This nutty 1977 horror movie has been showing up on cable lately. As a kid, I really wanted to see it at the movies. Ultimately, I had to settle for watching it as an NBC primtime movie. Loved it!
I had no idea that there was actually a kid's game based on this movie! Thanks to ultra-cool retro toy blog Plaid Stallions for digging up this awesome ad! I have to wonder who greenlit a kid's game based on this twisted movie...and am somewhat saddened that I am only NOW seeing this cool toy.
