VCRWORLD

Get ready for Brian and Drew to answer one of the most important questions facing movie lovers around the world. Which is better: Uncut Gems the movie … or Daniel Lopatin’s original score? It’s an agonizing decision, choosing between two things we love, but there can only be one winner! Warning: this episode, much like Howard’s all-or-nothing lifestyle, is not for faint of heart.

Brian and Drew are joined by screenwriters Matt Leslie and Stephen J. Smith to discuss their breakout movie Summer of 84 … and pretty much geek over all the pop culture that still informs what we love today. We find out how they write as a duo, what it took to get Summer of 84 made, and then argue over Marvel movies for some reason. It’s a casual convo where we all let our guards down … right before it takes some wild, unexpected turns. Kind of like their movie. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Brian and Drew ran the gauntlet of back-to-back Bacon rafting flicks and now we’re here to tell you all about it. Is The River Wild, also featuring a badass Meryl Streep, in fact a sequel to White Water Summer? One follows a group of boys becoming survivalists, while the other takes us down river as a family fights for their lives. The common denominator: a diabolical Kevin Bacon. Come along for the ride!

In the first ever episode of VCRWORLD, Brian and Drew discuss how they got hooked on VHS and try to pinpoint what’s so everlasting about the format. To help figure it all out, they ask Brian’s dad Dennis what he remembers about the dawn of home video and which tapes left a big impression on him. We can’t wait to go on this journey with you as we look back on the movies we love, the times we’ll never forget, and build a future together that shows us what it’s like to fall obsessively in love with something all over again. Keep listening.
