VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 9 VHS Rewind’s Deezen-palooza continues with the product placement heaven known as MIDNIGHT MADNESS. No kidding, a drinking game can be made out of the egregious product placement this movie: just take a drink of your favorite alcoholic beverage (ideally, Pabst Blue Ribbon) every time a product or a product name (and that product/product name can be just about anything – an automobile, a beverage, video game, a location (a restaurant; a hotel) appears (in whole or in part) in a frame of this film and, come tomorrow, you will not remember blacking out at about the halfway point of this movie. MIDNIGHT MADNESS was apparently produced by the Walt Disney Company (and yes, there is a product appearance / mention of a Disney character in here – take a drink!) although the Disney name is not mentioned in the product credits. The flick is a starring vehicle for then-Dr Pepper pitchman David Naughton (and yes, there is a Dr Pepper appearance in the flick – take a drink!) and a whole sl

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 8 Deezenpalooza continues! This time Mark and Christopher discuss the zany 1987 comedy, Million Dollar Mystery!

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 7 Deezenpalooza has begun! All Summer All Deezen! For the first episode in our Summercade Christopher has wisely chosen the cult classic, Surf II from 1984. Come listen as we discuss this treat for the senses!

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 6 Due to unprecedented demand. Because our audience asked for it. VHS Rewind is covering another Hal Needham flick. Our previous episode, spotlighting director Hal Needham’s incredible RAD, was one of VHS Rewind’s all-time most downloaded episodes. RAD, the film, was a really great surprise for us – we hadn’t seen it before deciding to cover it for the show, and, wow, it was just amazing. Listen to that episode to hear all about it. The great thing is, there are still quite a few films from Needham’s golden (directorial) period (that period beginning in 1977 with the classic SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT and lasting through BODY SLAM in 1986) that we at VHS Rewind haven’t seen. We cannot wait to tackle BODY SLAM and, especially, THE VILLAIN (1979). Our focus for this episode is Needham’s equally incredible MEGAFORCE (1982). We at VHS Rewind remember the poster for this flick from when it was first released (and we were just kids) but we never did see this (not even when the flic

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 5 RAD has always been an important movie to me - in my adult years it reminds me of my youth while at the same time when I was a kid it taught me how to be independent and basically jump on my bike and explore. Great movie and all should watch it!

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 2 Mark and Christopher get together to play many amazing classic, forgotten and downright odd clips and songs from holidays past.

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 1 Ghost Story (1981) Some supernatural revenge should be visited upon the filmmakers for this travesty of a film. We at VHS Rewind feel that Peter Straub's novel, Ghost Story, upon which this film is (shall we say, loosely) based, is one of the great horror novels of all time. It has the scope and heft of one of those bricks produced by Stephen King (Salem's Lot; It; The Tommyknockers; etc.) but is much more literate and creepy and atmospheric. VHS Rewind is only too happy to dedicate our latest episode discussing why this film is a damn shame, a missed opportunity of epic proportions, from top to bottom. The raping of Straub's novel is just the first (albeit the most egregious) of the movie's sins. Then there is the unforgivable error of casting Craig Wasson: why did people cast this utterly talentless individual? This is the man who would go on to single handedly destroy Brian DePalma's BODY DOUBLE (1984). An actor with less charisma (and, apparently, a smaller dick) would

VHS Rewind! Season 3 Episode 12 Psycho II (1983) Yeah, yeah, we know, we get it, we understand, Hitchcock/PSYCHO, Hitchcock= PSYCHO, Hitchcock is PSYCHO, even more than Tony Perkins' Norman Bates. Fuck Hitchcock. Forget Hitchcock. It's old, he's old, you're a poseur to talk Hitchcock, Hitchock this, Hitchcock that. Dude, whatever. I'm more impressed if you champion the lesser-known, the hardly-known-at-all things: Corky Siegel's Chamber Blues, Vietnamese iced coffee over anything at Starbucks, xerox printed fanzines from the late 1980s / early '90s over digital musings of the faceless internet, Spider-Man as drawn by artist Ross Andru throughout the 1970s over Spider-Man as drawn by artist Steve Ditko in the 1960s, PSYCHO II over PSYCHO. I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I have watched the original PSYCHO but PSYCHO II, on the other hand, is, like, well, double digits. Lots of double digits. #polydactylism This is one of the greatest sequels ever made, its ROAD WARRIOR great, 1978's D

VHS Rewind! Season 3 - Episode 7 Few things are more "1980s" than 1987's vampire flick THE LOST BOYS. Everything about THE LOST BOYS is so firmly entrenched in this decade, from the cast of then-young actors (the two Coreys (Haim & Feldman), Kiefer Sutherland, Jamie Gertz, Jason Patric (who?)); the fashions; the soundtrack; the make-up effects. So how does THE LOST BOYS hold up? Is it as timeless as, well, a vampire? Who are hotter: the vampires of THE LOST BOYS or the vampires from the TWILIGHT series? Is Jamie Gertz's (non)acting proof that she is, in fact, one of the undead? Join VHS Rewind as our hosts, Chris and Mark, revisit THE LOST BOYS and once again get lost in the shadows to find definitive answers to those questions and also find themselves incapable of stopping themselves from bursting into several songs from THE LOST BOYS soundtrack (although neither host takes his shirt off and starts playing the saxophone). Do you believe?

VHS Rewind! Season 3 - Episode 6 She is still hot. Unbelievable. Forty-plus years later, she is still smoking hot. She still does it to the hosts of VHS Rewind, just one look and VHS Rewind's middle-aged-viagra-starved libido is suddenly ten years old again, awake, eager. We speak, of course, of that goddess (literally and figuratively), Isis. Joanna Cameron. Before Farrah Fawcett was on Charlie's Angels, Joanna Cameron had the most amazingly gorgeous tan on television. To think that this was Saturday morning (childrens) television: surely, the hosts of VHS Rewind were not the only ones who broke his cherry with this show. We at VHS Rewind simply can not, will not speak ill of ISIS (the show). It is just too important a part of out childhood. Every minute, every second, is our youth, re-lived. The magic spell that Joanna Cameron intones to become The Might Isis, the narration over the opening credits…we really do gain back some years just by watching this show. John VHS Rewind as our hosts relive their

VHS Rewind! Season 3 - Episode 4 Marie Osmond stars in her own sitcom. It is sad this wasn't given a chance since at Mark found it worth a chuckle. Chris on the other was not so thrilled.

VHS Rewind! Season 3 - Episode 3 VHS Rewind! discussed another controversial reboot from the 1980's! Starring Ron Glass and Demon Wilson is the forgettable The NEW Odd Couple. Taking a seemingly random episode from the 1970's classic and redoing it shot for shot and word for word may have seemed like a good idea to someone, but he was alone - oh yeah - they made the main characters African American. Even for 30+ years ago this was a stale idea. Lasting for an impressive 18 episode season it never made it to Season 2.

VHS Rewind! Season 3 - Episode 2 VHS Rewind has the distinct honor of talking with the host of The Oddity Archive, Ben Minnotte! Joining Mark is David Lawler who took some time from his busy schedule at the Misadventures in Blissville Blog and Podcast
