NEW VHS REVUE! We’re heading back to Sydney, 1984 when cheese slices were the height of sophistication, anti-wrinkle cream ads were bad & Kmart sold things besides plastic shoes. It's jingles all the way in VHS Revue 48 - Northern Pursuit (1984). WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/MpUP9na47G0?si=53o2pu0bCJOwzrVW #vhsrevue #vhs

Spool out the red carpet for a NEW EPISODE of VHS Revue! This one’s a Beta tape from 1981, when news was funky, TV’s were wood-panelled & half the ads used the same office set. It’s all in VHS Revue 47 - Royal Charity Performance (1981). WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/-v8VKVKg3cY?si=k2j-IOoXvMubwxaC #vhsrevue #adelaide #80s

NEW EPISODE! We’re going back to mid-80s Sydney when gas was cheap, ads had jingles & colour coordination had yet to be perfected. Join Monty Modular on VHS Revue 46 - The Triangle Factory Fire Scandal (1984) HERE: https://youtu.be/vaNSB0maj2o?si=7_SIHwydks_PPPW2 #vhsrevue #sydney

The other night I joined Dave Mclennan & Casey Cumming on their podcast Dave’s Video Graveyard. I’ve been a fan ever since I stumbled upon their old show on Adelaide’s WOW FM in the car many years ago.

We talked about childhood video stores, Hungry Jack’s, ice creams, our best drive-in double features and go through my 10 favourite films of all time.

A couple of corrections: I had to double check the map and the Video Mania / Civic Video / Movieland video store I was thinking of was actually on Sturt Road in Warradale (I’m pretty sure it was on the corner of Eucla Avenue – long since knocked down and turned into houses).

Also the 1979 film ‘Being There’ wasn’t actually mentioned in that famous scene in ‘Tropic Thunder’. It was ‘Rainman’ and ‘Forrest Gump’ but you could absolutely put it in that same category.
