Who else watched movies with Rhonda and Gilbert all night?

originalbrowncoat@reddit

I remember when we first got cable and I stayed up suuuuper late to watch Revenge of the Teenage Vixens from outer space, and then being disappointed at the lack of nudity.

[-]

USA UP all night advertised itself as showing sexy movies, but USA was a basic cable channel, so they were very limited in what they could actually show. still, it was a good substitute when pay channels like HBO weren't showing anything interesting late at night.

It truly was a magical time

She was such a great bimbo ❤️

[-]

danbob411@reddit

My dad had a Playboy with her in it. Lucky me.

[-]

Here4Snarkn@reddit

A rich bimbo. She dated Larry King for a while and has sold thousand upon thousands of bras on HSN (home shopping network).

[-]

RedHeadedScourge@reddit

Nice work, if you can get it

roundbellyrhonda@reddit

I love this for her

Can still hear the “UP!”

[-]

BDR529forlyfe@reddit

Oh my… now that you bring it up, I absolutely still can hear it too!

[-]

C0BRA_V1P3R@reddit

“USA…UP All Night!”

Saw so many classic films because of these two (Evil Dead, Hell Comes to Frog Town, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama, Class of Nuke ‘Em High, etc.).

[-]

danbob411@reddit

And all the Jason movies.

[-]

Sirtriplenipple@reddit

God, is she why I am attracted to trashy woman today?

[-]

TTIGRAASlime@reddit

Her and Kelly Bundy.

[-]

wannabattlecat@reddit

Peg, too.

[-]

urbanlife78@reddit

I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if it could be linked to the amount of crazy girls I dated back in the day, and it probably has a lot to do with my love for big hair

[-]

Firm-Ring9684@reddit

Holy balls I never thought of this.

DAMN YOU RHONDA!!!

[-]

ScreenTricky4257@reddit

^^^Up! All night.

FTFY

[-]

bigriveruk@reddit

Hell comes to frog town! Yes! Love that movie

[-]

Attaaack of the Killer Tomatoes!!!!

[-]

shitpostsuperpac@reddit

This and MST3K created within me a love for bad movies that continues to this day.

[-]

NachoNachoDan@reddit

Gilbert was truly one of the greats.

[-]

AimlessPrecision@reddit

Interacted with him a couple times. A truly rude and egotistical little man.

[-]

Eh-I@reddit

That's sweet 🥰

[-]

AimlessPrecision@reddit

lol it indeed was not. Didn’t tip his servers or bartenders either

[-]

NachoNachoDan@reddit

Oh that’s so Gilbert

[-]

NYK-94@reddit

It was either this or Joe Bob Briggs.

[-]

ScreenTricky4257@reddit

Are those movies still even available?

[-]

graveybrains@reddit

What do you mean by available?

[-]

ScreenTricky4257@reddit

Where can I rent the VHS?

[-]

graveybrains@reddit

Your best bet would be 211 NE Revere Ave #3, Bend, OR

[-]

ScreenTricky4257@reddit

OK, where can I watch them on YouTube or Vimeo or Rumble or torrent?

[-]

InspectiorFlaky@reddit

Thanks, I was trying to remember the name of one of these that stuck out as a kid! It was Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.

[-]

Plutoniumburrito@reddit

Haha, I was just about to post— I remember watching this weirdo movie on Up All Night 😂

[-]

PDXBishop@reddit

One of the only times where someone mistakenly (probably while on coke) thought that Bill Maher could be the leading male part in a movie.

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Plot twist: Maher gave him the coke in exchange for the part.

[-]

graveybrains@reddit

I’m honored to have helped you rediscover such an iconic piece of classic cinema.

[-]

rickyramrod@reddit

Wait, wait, wait. ALIEN was on USA Up All Night? Ridley Scott’s Alien? I don’t believe it.

[-]

Obvious-Hunt19@reddit

That list is wild, some actual serious movies in there. Also some real head scratchers - "Always"? Really?

[-]

Don_Shetland@reddit

I remember some movie about a bunch of kids being murdered in a shopping mall/ bowling alley after hours. Lol wish I could remember the name

[-]

Equivalent_Public_41@reddit

Sorority babes at the slimeball bowlarama?

[-]

mrbingpots@reddit

Yes and for some reason I remember Duckman being on around the same time

[-]

Oaken_beard@reddit

My friend and I still quote the stuffed bears.

“Mr. Duckman, YOU’RE ON DRUGS!”

[-]

urbanlife78@reddit

Fucking classic, it was Adult Swim before Adult Swim existed

[-]

Solid-Hedgehog9623@reddit

I think duckman was the lead in to up all night. For the short time it was on anyway. I loved that show.

[-]

BrianEnoFartscape@reddit

I suggest Tubi as the perfect streaming stand-in for Up All Night/Monstervision/Dinner and a Movie vibes.

[-]

symonym7@reddit

Late night tv was such a wild time in the late 80s/early 90s, or at least pre-internet. The whole world was asleep except for you and a handful of other owls staying up to watch the weirdest shit you'd ever seen.

[-]

Obvious-Hunt19@reddit

Joe Bob Briggs doing an entire segment where he explains the theology of Teilhard de Chardin for some fucking reason

[-]

symonym7@reddit

Just what people did before Tumblr.

[-]

waterlooaba@reddit

My teenage insomnia loved this!

[-]

TTIGRAASlime@reddit

I think this was on after wrestling before the Monday Night Raw days.

[-]

threefeetofun@reddit

USA UP ALL NIGHT is why I love Nightmare on Elm Street.

[-]

TGsunn78@reddit

Friday always with Rhonda. Saturday was for the Headbangers Ball.

[-]

6thBornSOB@reddit

Was this running concurrently with Joe Bob? I remember seeing either meant some good, cheesy horror or sci/fi was soon to follow!

[-]

shovel_kat@reddit

Escape From New York and The Warriors no where else would you see that shit.

[-]

Any_Ad_6057@reddit

Rhonda has turned into a huge MAGA trumpet. She lives in St. Pete, FL and when she's not peddling lingerie she's hosting fundraisers for him🤮

[-]

Ateallthepizza@reddit

Absolutely. So many great nights when they showed those B movie classics.

Night of the creeps Nuke Em high Humanoids from the deep. Fright night

[-]

Retina400@reddit

omfg YES

[-]

grumblestilskin@reddit

I was delivering food and ended up walking into Rhonda’s office in St Pete, FL

[-]

_Can_i_play_@reddit

Watched Rhonda

[-]

WhatsWr0ngWithPe0ple@reddit

I LOVED Up All Night and all the cheesy movies.

[-]

Professional-Basis33@reddit

Oh man, my siblings and I did every weekend. We still randomly quote Malvert from Student Bodies.

[-]

NBKiller69@reddit

Two of those 900 number jingles are forever burned into my brain from their constant airing during the commercial breaks for this program.

"You don't have to be alone tonight!"
"Imagine you and me, together right now!"

[-]

And when the porn ads weren’t on it was this!

Tony_Tanna78@reddit

I loved watching this show back in the day, especially when Rhonda was hosting. Gilbert was pretty good, but Rhonda obviously appealed more to me since I was a horny teenager back then.

[-]

urbanlife78@reddit

I was all about this show, so many questionable movies for a teenager to be watching, but I loved it

[-]

938h25olw548slt47oy8@reddit

A few movies I specifically remember watching on that:

Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl O Rama

H.O.T.S.

Chopping Mall

The Exorcist 2

one of the Howling movies

Rock N Roll High School

The first Toxic Avenger

I probably watched 10x as many but most of them didn't stick.

[-]

C0BRA_V1P3R@reddit

The Howling movie was probably the second one with Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning as the werewolf queen.

[-]

bulanaboo@reddit

Up…….. all night

[-]

MackAndSteeze@reddit

There was an episode that was hosted by The Cramps if I remember correctly.

[-]

HorrorAvatar@reddit

Y’all need to get on The Last Drive In with Joe Bob Briggs. It just so happens that Rhonda Shear was a guest on the most recent marathon.

[-]

Much_Zucchini8826@reddit

Of course. Joe bob briggs too

[-]

ElboDelbo@reddit

If it isn't Annabelle Gurwitch and Paul Gilmartin teaching me how to make food themed to a movie on Dinner and a Movie on TBS, miss me.

[-]

Treadingresin@reddit

Where else were we going to be introduced to classics such as Reform School Girls?

[-]

MundaneMeringue71@reddit

Rhonda has been a regular for years on HSN (Home Shopping Network) selling her line of bras and panties.

[-]

SweetCosmicPope@reddit

I need to see if somebody has collected all of these and add them to Plex for like a nostalgic trip. Censored movies and all.

It also had a follow-up called Reel Wild Cinema with Sandra Bernhard that showed a bunch of severely edited down exploitation flicks. You can watch every episode of that on youtube for free.

[-]

fiercetywysoges@reddit

I feel bad because by all accounts he was a very nice man but I cannot tolerate him. His voice makes me want to peel off my own skin and has for as long as I can remember.

[-]

Disp0sable_Her0@reddit

This was a staple of my childhood and adolescence until one winter when we had a giant ice storm had shut down the city for 3 days. Most people were without power for a long time.

But not our shitty house. We got power back within hours, and with it, our cable got messed up, so we had all of the pay movie channels for free. Cable company never caught on.

From then on, it was late night Skinemax.

Side note, the Tubi app is great for the old B movies they'd show on Up All Night and skinemax.

[-]

ImitationCheesequake@reddit

Loved this and MonsterVision, Rhonda was just on Joe Bob’s shudder “nightmarathon” it was fantastic. Rhonda has a YT channel where she’s uploaded a lot of clips from skits and interviews between the movies. These shows fueled my long standing love of campy horror and sci fi.

[-]

Vorpal_Bunny19@reddit

Pretty sure that’s where I saw Amazon Women of the Avocado Jungle of Death.

[-]

setlis@reddit

I have a friend who writes music and performs. I ran into him shortly after Gilbert passed, and he told me that he had him record an intro to his latest album via a patron account. He told me Gilbert’s reviews were outstanding so he said sure why not. He told me the actor literally recorded the segment later that day and sent it out to him at like the wee hours of the morning. The man was a workhorse up until his death. It was such a great way to remember him by (outside of this gig that is). Thought I’d share.

[-]

philovax@reddit

Gilbert’s agent was known for answering the phone with “He will do it!”

[-]

Remote_Bumblebee2240@reddit

Once of my early influences, lol.

[-]

faderjockey@reddit

I watched Duckman, and then flipped over to Joe Bob Briggs’ Drive-In Theater for the after midnight uncensored breast experience.

[-]

Chaos_Sauce@reddit

Just a couple of weeks ago the Last Drive In did a six movie marathon with Rhonda Shear as the guest. It’s great to see them both still at it (although I guess Rhonda is more of an underwear mogul these days).

[-]

Ok_Picture9667@reddit

I love Duckman. I'd watch Parker Lewis, Bad Science and Duckman while eating pizza rolls. Great memories.

The Last Drive In still exists on Shudder. I'm a huge fan. Joe Bob's rants are more interesting these days imao.

[-]

iamfilms@reddit

My brother would ALWAYS trick me as a kid and tell me at least once a year that Gilbert Godfrey had died. No idea why. But it stills makes me laugh all the times he’d tell me like I was gonna lose it or something lolol.

[-]

Ok_Picture9667@reddit

Rhonda was a guest on The Last Drive In's Nightmarathon that aired over labor day. She talked a lot about Up All Night and the shit she went through. It was very enlightening. Now she sells her own bra brand on QVC.

When I heard Gilbert passed I was more upset by it than any celebrity who has passed recently. He was such a cool guy. He would just drop in on Svengoolie and shoot the shit. I love him. RIP Gilbert Gottfried.
