We explore how we got here, why we're here, and how things could possibly be better. After a break, we discuss the problem with Friday The 13th. Is Paramount really out of touch with the fanbase?

Live from Michael J’s basement it’s the first new VHS Life for 2017! In case you missed the last episode, Press Play Video is in disarray after the guys narrowly escaped being a meal for Krampus among other things. They discuss what they got for Christmas and Michael J made the leap to 4K in a very emotional manner. John schools Michael J on superheroes and gives his opinion on why the Marvel Cinematic Universe is better than DC, and in the process he spoils Batman V Superman for him. After John’s bathroom break we return to discuss our Top 5 Films of 2016. It covers a wide spectrum, at least where Michael J is concerned. Do you agree with their picks?

A visit from Krampus causes all sorts of confusion as well. One thing is for sure Press Play Video will never be the same again! So rent smart and remember, “Be Kind…Rewind”.

A customer complaint from behind the curtain gets John in trouble and further from regaining the Assistant Manager position. The Bonus Materials on the 4K Blu-ray of Dawn Of The Dead cause an argument. Both of the guys neglected their homework for the week due to Michael J being hooked on Playstation VR and making the leap to 4K and John just being “busy” with work. Plus Michael J has anal issues and more! After a break, chaos reigns as John and Michael J, from the alternate 80s reality, take over the show and initiate their plan to bring the 80s to the present and become the new rulers of the world?!

Our journey to Halloween continues, this episode begins with the guys discussing their “homework”. First up is Basket Case. Did John like it, are his comparisons to CHUD warranted? Male bush and more are discussed. Then, Michael J gives his thoughts on Demons and his thoughts are surprising to John. They wonder why an Italian language track wasn’t included, as a result some of the dubbing seems out of place, which, in Michael J’s opinion makes it humorous at times. Is Demons the Italian equivalent of Evil Dead? We debate whether or not Mike Flannigan can save Ouija and more! Writer/Producer Jimmy George joins us to discuss in depth the challenges of micro-budget film production and proves that it can be done and be very rewarding. Fans of WNUF: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL and indie film fans will get a lot of insight and inspiration from this discussion. We also get into his newly released comic book series, BURIAL PLOTS and more! The treats keep coming at Press Play as Actor/Producer/Composer Lito Velasco joins us to discuss his numerous projects, most recently, the horror film ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE. We explore his inspirations, acting methodology, and more. Be warned, our discussion of ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE is SPOILER HEAVY and we recommend viewing the film before listening to this segment of the show.
