I co-host a podcast focused on superhero movies. Over breaks (summer and winter holidays) we’ll typically do something different than our usual. This past summer we did a Jeff Bridges sci-fi double feature - Tron (the original) and Starman.
For this holiday season we just recorded an od pairing that I think could be called “what random VHS tapes did you grow up with?” The movies? Roadhouse and The Pirates of Penzance!
It was a direct to VHS release called “Berenstein Bears visit Sinbad in Shazam!”. This was pretty close to Irontown. My mom said I had such an imagination with it and it was all static.
It was a bunch of shitty animated films on DVD for me (with a couple of Disney and Dreamworks films added into the mix). It’s probably the cause of my love of physical media.
An American Tale for me and my closest(in age) siblings. Bonus because while my older brother and I were American born, we moved out of the country when I was 2, and my younger sister was born outside the states. We saw the movie first overseas, then often when we came back to the US (7 for me).
I tried to watch Jingle all the way with my kids today. They pointed out how stupid that movie is, but I didn’t have a lot of choices back then. I don’t miss those days of shitty choices.
Dude I remember getting so pumped up because of specials on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. In high school I loved being home to catch my favourite shows.
