  • VHS Revue 10 – Star Wars (1994)

    Hot off the spool! VHS Revue Episode 10.

    It’s another Nicholas Godfrey tape. This one a 1994 recording of the original Star Wars. Highlights include some casual racial homophobia from Hungry Jack’s, a highly inaccurate space-themed ad for Coca-Cola, a business update from a guy who thinks he’s reading a children’s book and watch all the way to the end for the BIG TWIST. Also, Han shoots first.

    This’ll be the last one for a while. Cheers for the views.
