    VHS Rewind!

    Season 5 Episode 7

    Holiday Music Mix

    Mark and I want to wish all of our podcast listeners and Facebook followers a very

    Happy and Safe Holidays.

    Our one holiday wish is to spend the holidays with everyone and share a

    spiked eggnog while sitting in front of your Christmas tree or, as applicable, share a Manischewitz

    Sangria Martini (which sounds delicious: http://www.chron.com/life/food/article/Next-year-a-

    Manischewitz-Sangria-Martini-in-1780314.php) while sitting around the Menorah.

    We hope you will take

    us into your home this holiday weekend as we present to you a special episode devoted to some off-

    the-beaten-track holiday music (all focused on the Christmas holidays sorry Jewish People!).

    You will not hear any of * this * Christmas music playing in your local Walmart while you do your holiday

    shopping.

    This playlist covers the entire musical spectrum of the holidays: blues; disco; funk;

    pop; the weird, the unclassifiable. And, as an extra special treat, Lorne Greene joins the show to

    tell several (!) stories that teach us all the true Spirit of Christmas. He also sings (!!) a song

    about Christmas too.

    We hope you answer our holiday wish by downloading the episode and give it a

    listen as you sip your (hopefully very potent) holiday drink.

    VHS Rewind! – Interview with Tim Lapertino

    Tim Lapertino, author of The Art of Atari decided to return the 456 calls we made to his office and finally agreed to come onto our podcast if we would stop bothering him….and it worked! Mark and Tim discuss collections, inspirations for the book and in general just have an cool and relaxed conversation about America’s favorite gaming company, ATARI!

    http://www.artofatari.com/

    I recommend each and every one of you go buy The Art of Atari – the book is a remarkable collection of Atari memories and the price is amazing!

    I would like to thank the one and the only Weird Paul Petroskey for letting me use his ‘Don’t Break my Atari’ song which is another favorite of mine. You should really check out Weird Paul on Youtube – he is, after all, the FIRST Video Blogger (going back to the 1980’s!)

    VHS Rewind!

    Season 5 Episode 4

    VHSRewind! – Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)

    With this week’s episode, VHS Rewind is correcting a major faux pas: we have never before tackled any of the output of one of the shining stars of our youth: Mr. Captain Kirk/T.J Hooker himself, William Shatner.

    The Shat was always around while we were growing up in the 1970s/1980s, not just because of STAR TREK and, later, T.J. HOOKER but because Shat was everywhere on TV: BARBARY COAST was another show he did which we watched because, well, Captain Kirk was on it; guest spots on every show we watched as kids: SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN; BARNABY JONES; HAWAII 5-O; IRONSIDE, KUNG FU; and guest spots on every tv show we didn’t watch as kids (PIONEER WOMAN, anyone? POLICE SURGEON??).
    Then there were some incredible TV movies like HORROR AT 37,000 FEET, DISASTER ON THE COASTLINER and the classic PRAY FOR THE WILDCATS (with that once of a lifetime cast of Andy Griffith (playing the dangerous psychotic for a change) + Shat + Robert Reed + Marjoe Gortner (!!) + Angie Dickinson & Lorraine Gary.
    Folks may forget that Shat’s theatrical features include more than the STAR TREK motion pictures: THE DEVIL’S RAIN; THE KIDNAPPING OF THE PRESIDENT; VISITING HOURS; AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL and, the subject our episode, KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS.
    KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS is part of the subgenre of films we love: the nature-runs-amok-and-strikes-back genre which includes DAYS OF THE ANIMALS (all animals attack); FROGS (frogs attack); NIGHT OF THE LEPUS (giant bunnies attck); SSSSSSS (sssssnakessss attack); PHASE IV (little ants attack): EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (giant ants attack); a few movies about bees attacking; SQUIRM (somehow, worms attack); and yes, you know JAWS, JAWS 2 etc. In this one, we get to see spiders attack.
    If the Shat seems to be dialing his Shatner-ness back somewhat (this isn’t the Shatner of STAR TREK V), remember that the Shat remains a singular actor and he gives us a lot to talk about. Shat certainly has a way with the ladies in this flick – part Donald Trump, part Pepe Le Peu, all creepy, sleazy sexual predator.
    We hope you take a listen to this week’s episode so you can hear our thoughts about KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS and where, in the pantheon of spider flicks this one falls: is it as good as 1955’s TARANTULA? No but that 1955 flick is a personal, nostalgic favorite. Is KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS as unintentionally funny as 1975’s THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION? No, alas. Does KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS feature incredible rock-n-roll songs like 1958’s EARTH VS THE SPIDER. No, but there are plenty of songs in KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS and we play every damn one of ‘em on the show because they are amazing.
