Musing about churches in Turkey & Italy that sliced up the body of St. Nicholas and sent parts of him all over the world so that everyone could have a finger, or a toe, or a skull fragment--but who got his penis?

What's on Tonight: JOE BOB's VERY VIOLENT VALENTINE (2024) on SHUDDER TV

Joe Bob’s Very Violent Valentine, shooting Cupid’s poisoned arrows, premieres Friday February 9th at 9pm Eastern on Shudder TV Live! I'll update this post later tonight with the titles of the two movies shown.

@therealjoebob's description of the films:

"The first movie was so violent that the MPAA ordered 53 cuts before it could be released. The second combined Andy Warhol's Factory with the sleaziest neighborhood in downtown El Lay. Put em together and you've got Gangsta Valentine's Day. This Friday night, it's gonna get NASTY."

Killer key art and title design by the awesome Justin Osbourn @slasherdesign. And get the official T-shirt and Hoodie over at Fright-Rags.com.

UPDATE: First movie up is Freeway (1996) followed by...

...the second movie Vamp (1986)!
