This week on The VHS Club, we’re standing out — above the crowd — and hitting the road with Max and Goofy for the ultimate 90s animated road trip: A Goofy Movie (1995) 🛣️🎸

Packed with Powerline bops, mall hijinks, and some surprisingly tender father–son moments, this movie has only grown in stature since its VHS days.

This week on The VHS Club, we’re diving heart-first into Titanic (1997) — the epic romance that broke our teenage hearts, dominated pop culture, and absolutely destroyed our VHS rewinders.

We were obsessed. With the movie. With the music. With the two-tape VHS box set. But mostly… with Leonardo DiCaprio. What starts as a sweeping historical spectacle quickly becomes an all-consuming emotional experience, complete with forbidden romance, unforgettable quotes, and a runtime that dared you to commit.

Join us as we:
🚢 Relive every iconic moment that lives rent-free in our brains
💔 Talk Jack & Rose, forever love, and peak 90s romantic obsession
🎶 Bask in the power of Céline Dion’s era-defining ballad

It’s big, earnest, emotionally overwhelming, and impossible to forget — the kind of movie you watched once as a teen and carried with you forever, feelings and all.

So grab your life jacket, brace for a nostalgia tsunami, and remember: it’s been 27 years… and we still have just as many feelings.

This week on The VHS Club, we’re asking a very important question: is Batman Forever secretly awesome… or just a neon-soaked fever dream in a rubber suit?

Joel Schumacher’s high-voltage, wildly divisive entry in the Bat-franchise is loud, colorful, stacked with stars, and absolutely committed to the bit. With Jim Carrey unleashed at peak chaos, Tommy Lee Jones chewing every inch of scenery, Val Kilmer’s pouty Bruce Wayne, and Nicole Kidman operating at maximum thirst, this movie dares you to either embrace the camp or reject it entirely.

Join us as we:
🦇 Revisit the neon-drenched Gotham that defined mid-90s Batman
🎭 Talk Jim Carrey’s Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones’ unhinged energy
🖤 Discuss Val Kilmer’s underrated Bruce Wayne era
🔥 Acknowledge Nicole Kidman’s iconic commitment to the vibe
🧠 Debate whether this movie is misunderstood genius or pure chaos
🧍‍♂️ Yes… we talk about the nipples

It’s loud, messy, stylish, and impossible to ignore — the kind of movie you either wore out on VHS or spent years arguing about with friends.

So throw on the black light, embrace the camp, and riddle us this: are you ready to defend Batman Forever?

In this episode, we’re joined by:

Josh — fellow Tater Tot and proud Batman Forever defender.

This week on The VHS Club, we’re hopping into the DeLorean and going all the way back… to the future ⚡

To celebrate the anniversary of the original film, we’re revisiting the entire Back to the Future trilogy — one of the most perfectly engineered, endlessly re-watchable franchises of the 80s.

From 1955 to 2015 to the Wild West, this trilogy somehow balances big sci-fi ideas, impeccable comedy timing, and pure blockbuster charm. It’s a rare case where the original is iconic, the sequels are bold, and the whole thing still feels like lightning in a bottle.

Join us as we:
🕰️ Break down the best (and weirdest) moments across all three films
🛹 Talk hoverboards, time paradoxes, and peak Biff behavior
🎬 Celebrate why the first movie remains basically flawless
📼 Debate which sequel truly reigns supreme
👟 Give Doc Brown his long-overdue flowers as an underrated fashion icon

It’s fast, funny, and endlessly inventive — the kind of trilogy you can drop into at any point and immediately get pulled along for the ride.

So set your clocks, grab a Pepsi Free, and remember: roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

This week on The VHS Club, we’re heading back into the water for the 50th anniversary of Jaws — the movie that redefined summer blockbusters and permanently ruined beach days for generations.

Steven Spielberg’s thriller is a masterclass in tension, character, and restraint. With an unforgettable John Williams score, iconic performances, and a shark you barely see (but never forget), Jaws didn’t just scare audiences — it changed how movies were made, marketed, and experienced.

Join us as we:
🦈 Revisit the suspense that still works half a century later
🎶 Break down John Williams’ all-time great score
🎭 Talk unforgettable characters like Brody, Hooper, and Quint
🎬 Dig into the shark effects, production chaos, and happy accidents
📼 Discuss how Jaws created the modern summer blockbuster

It’s tense, smart, endlessly rewatchable, and somehow still feels fresh — the kind of movie you can drop into at any point and instantly lock in.

So grab your popcorn, stay out of the water, and remember: you’re gonna need a bigger boat.

This week on The VHS Club, Nat is back — and she’s bringing backup. Nat’s brother Andrew joins the show for a full-throttle deep dive into the dystopian, satirical, cyborg-cop masterpiece that is RoboCop (1987).

Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi action classic is loud, brutal, deeply funny, and way smarter than it first appears. Beneath the exploding squibs and corporate excess is a sharp critique of capitalism, media, and power — all wrapped in one of the most unforgettable action heroes of the 80s.

Join us as we:
🤖 Break down the hyper-violent, gloriously over-the-top action
💥 Talk ED-209, corporate villains, and iconic line deliveries
📺 Revisit the fake commercials and razor-sharp satire
🎬 Dig into what makes RoboCop more than just bullets and metal
📼 Debate whether RoboCop is the ultimate 80s action hero

It’s brutal, hilarious, and strangely thoughtful — the kind of movie that feels like pure action chaos until you realize it’s been saying something smart the whole time.

So grab your directives, protect the innocent, and get ready for a rewatch that proves RoboCop still hits hard decades later.

In this episode, we’re joined by:

Andrew — Nat’s brother and fellow RoboCop appreciator, bringing fresh perspective and maximum enthusiasm for Verhoeven’s madness.
