The VHS Strikes Back

Our flux capacitor is at the ready and we're gonna journey back to the time when you had to go to a video shop

🎙️NEW EPISODE
This week we’re going even further back to 1963 with the classic, Jason and the Argonauts! #FilmTwitter https://t.co/eBrC6nSgCM

[The VHS Strikes Back @vhsstrikesback]

🎙️ The new episode is here! This week, Dave chooses Crocodile Dundee, as we head into the outback for a VHS-era adventure full of charm, culture clashes, questionable accents, and one very famous knife. #CrocodileDundee #Dave #FilmTwitter https://t.co/t61IAkwOeZ

There is a specific comfort in practical effects. The glow of the contact lenses and the physical stunts feel so much more visceral than CGI. It takes us right back to the aisles of the local rental shop. https://t.co/fkPSCQu58y

The end credits of Dead Man's Shoes read "In memory of Martin Joseph Considine" Paddy's father. Just before he died, his last wish was for Paddy to work with Shane Meadows again. Dead Man's Shoes was the result https://t.co/oKnACsJsdf

The pool hall scene in Dead Man's Shoes cost nothing to film. No special effects. No stunt work. Just Paddy Considine being absolutely terrifying. We talked about why it works this week https://t.co/oKnACsJsdf

Gary Stretch had never acted before Dead Man's Shoes. He was a professional boxer who rang up and asked if he could be in films. Shane Meadows said yes. The rest is British cinema history https://t.co/oKnACsJsdf #DeadMansShoes #GaryStretch #FilmTwitter

[The VHS Strikes Back @vhsstrikesback]

Paddy Considine in Dead Man's Shoes is one of the great British performances. Full stop. We talked about why this week https://t.co/oKnACsJsdf #DeadMansShoes #PaddyConsidine #FilmTwitter

Apollonia jumped into a freezing Minneapolis lake four times (4!!) in November for the Lake Minnetonka scene in Purple Rain. And it wasn't even Lake Minnetonka. Definitely one for the year of Pain and Pleasure https://t.co/99SMM0HEdP #PurpleRain #Prince #Apollonia

@gconnally So amazing!

[The VHS Strikes Back @vhsstrikesback]

Room full of rock legends. George Harrison tribute. Prince walks up, plays a solo, and then literally throws his guitar into the air and walks off. It never comes back down. We talked Purple Rain this week https://t.co/99SMM0HEdP #Prince #WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps #FilmPodcast

[The VHS Strikes Back @vhsstrikesback]

Purple Rain (1984) made $70 million at the box office on a $7.2 million budget. Not bad for a first-time actor who refused to let anyone else tell his story. We reviewed it on The VHS Strikes Back. https://t.co/99SMM0HEdP

Very sad news on Carl Weathers. RIP 💔

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

Carl Weathers will always be a legend. An extraordinary athlete, a fantastic actor, and a great person. We couldn’t have made Predator without him. And we certainly wouldn’t have had such a wonderful time making it.

[John Hammond @JohnHammond73]

Monday morning means one thing - new episode of The @vhsstrikesback. Can't wait to see what @ChrisPhelps78 & @seattledojos think about this...
