Welcome back! Chris and I are relaunching VHS Rewind with a “CoreyGeddon”! We are diving deep into the works of Corey Feldman and will not be stopped! To start the fun off we discuss the often forgotten classic, Meatballs 4 from 1992!

“When the wealthy and scheming Monica Shavetts (Sarah Douglas) intends to buy Camp Lakeview and turn it into a golf course, owner Neil Peterson (Jack Nance) hires the young and spunky Ricky Wade (Corey Feldman) to handle the situation. Ricky has a bold idea: He wants the summer camp’s waterskiing team to compete with Monica’s rival team from Camp Twin Oaks. The showdown will determine Camp Lakeview’s future, and the underhanded Monica will stop at nothing to win.”

Meatballs 4 was released on March 6, 1992

C-c-c-catch the Wave, People !! It’s the most m-m-m-m-merriest time of the year and VHS Rewind is proud to be spending this holiday reviewing M-M-M-Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey 1986. This is, indeed, a strange bird of a special with the faux computer-generated host singing songs (some of which are actually Christmas-flavored and one of which, “Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You’re a Lovely Guy”) actually released as a single, getting sch-sch-sch-schmaltzy with kids and conducting the strangest interviews with the likes of Bob Geldof (why?) and Dave Edmunds (who?) (this special originally aired on British television so I can only assume that those two guests were word-famous in London at this time). But then, M-M-Max “interviews” (not sure that is the right word) Robin Williams (well into his cocaine habit and c-c-cutting loose with some horrifically un-PC schtick) and Tina Turner (well into her c-c-c-cocaine habit as she cannot stop laughing – seemingly with no reason– throughout her appearance). B-b-b-best of all, we get to experience UK-based telly commercials as they aired back then! So sit back with g-g-g-good cheer AND LOVE in your heart and enjoy this b-b-bag of coal. Merry Christmas, Santa Claus, you are one love-love-lovely guy.

Leah Mitchell returns to the podcast to discuss a personal favorite tv show and episode of Seinfeld!

“Everyone has an uncommon experience while going their separate ways on the subway, and Kramer overhears a horse racing tip from another passenger, places a bet at a betting parlour, and wins big, helping to pay for his car fines.”

Seinfeld: The Subway was originally aired on January 8, 1992
