Introducing: The Lost Drive-In    Podcast Description:The ‘Lost Drive-In’ is the latest podcast from LSG Media and unlike anything you’ve heard in movie podcasting. Science fiction. Horror. Action schlock. Cult and B-movies. Every week Matthew and Dean watch a genre film and discuss it in a raw, honest, and often hilarious way. Their uncensored conversational style is less stuffy criticism, and more joking with your profane pals. You will howl with laughter and be occasionally shocked by a ridiculous statement or maybe even an unexpected insight. New episodes drop Mondays.
