  • New VHS Revue episodes in 2021!

    Yeeeeeeessssssss! That’s right, over the last couple of months I’ve been spooling my way through more VHS tapes (and a couple of Beta ones) from the VCRs of yesteryear and I’ve found all sorts of wacky stuff worthy of some sort of curated highlight reel. So several new VHS Revue episodes are on the way. The trailer above is just the tip of the ice coffee.

    So make sure to click all the things: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram.

    Also, I’ve recently started a Patreon just for VHS Revue, so if you like these and want to help me make more I’d be very surprised.
