  • 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.

  • VHS Revue 15 – Coast to Coast (1989)

    Hey, it’s VHS Revue 15 – Coast to Coast (1989). See why Graham Kennedy really was Australia’s “King of Television”, as well as some weird ads for: Sandhurst Foods, Fab washing powder, the Suzuki Super Carry, Capt’n Snooze, plus a bizarre promo for “Sale of the Century” and some news snippets.

    Subscribe et al. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube (and thanks very much to all the lovely people on those sites who’ve shared the videos and said nice things over the last couple of weeks).

  • 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.
