    Backyard Nightmares & 80s Science: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids | The VHS Club – Ep 120

    Science was reckless in the 80s. And we loved it.In this episode of The VHS Club, we’re shrinking ourselves down and revisiting Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, the Disney classic that made our backyards feel terrifying, cereal bowls feel deadly, and parents feel… wildly unqualified. Joining us for this adventure is Zac Brown, and together we dig into: Rick Moranis as the most chaotic wholesome dad in cinemaWhy this movie absolutely felt like an 80s video game levelPractical effects that still slapChildhood trauma courtesy of ants, sprinklers, and giant blades of grassThe pure wonder of late-80s Disney sci-fi optimismIs it a family classic that holds up? Or just a perfectly preserved slice of VHS-era imagination? Either way, we’re pressing play and shrinking our expectations accordingly. Zac Brown, host of The Zac Brown Show - introduces you to old friends one story at a time.    / @thezacbrownnetwork   📼 New episodes every week 💬 Live chat + side quests encouraged 💜 You’re among friends here 💌 Sign up for our email newsletter: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com/email 🎬 Learn more & connect with us: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com 📼 See the movie list (and add your own!): https://bit.ly/vhsclubmovielist

    Serial Killers, 90s Grit & Existential Dread: Seven | The VHS Club – Ep 118

    What’s in the box?? No seriously. We need to talk about it. In this episode of The VHS Club, we’re rewinding to Seven (1995), David Fincher’s bleak, rain-soaked thriller that permanently altered the vibe of 90s cinema. Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, this movie is all grit, dread, and slow-building horror that sticks with you long after the tape stops spinning.Join us as we spiral together, unpacking: The Seven Deadly Sins as a deeply unsettling narrative deviceBrad Pitt’s raw 90s intensity vs. Morgan Freeman’s weary gravitasDavid Fincher’s signature visual style and why this movie feels so oppressiveThat ending. Yes. That ending. We are not okay. Is Seven a flawless thriller or a beautifully crafted nightmare you only revisit when you’re emotionally prepared? Either way, it’s a VHS-era classic that demands discussion. So dim the lights, hug your couch pillow, and press play. This one gets dark. (But don't worry. We'll still bring the laughs). 📼 New episodes every week 💬 Live chat + side quests encouraged 💜 You’re among friends here 💌 Sign up for our email newsletter: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com/email 🎬 Learn more & connect with us: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com 📼 See the movie list (and add your own!): https://bit.ly/vhsclubmovielist

    Help Is on the Way, Dear: Mrs. Doubtfire | The VHS Club – Ep 118

    This week on The VHS Club, we're revisiting one of the most beloved, quotable, and emotionally sneaky family films of the 90s: Mrs. Doubtfire. What starts as a high-concept comedy packed with slapstick, wigs, and unforgettable one-liners slowly reveals itself to be a surprisingly heartfelt story about divorce, parenting, and showing up for the people you love — even if it means a full prosthetic makeover. Join us as we: 👵 Celebrate Robin Williams’ iconic, chaotic performance 🎭 Talk disguises, voice work, and physical comedy magic ❤️ Dig into the emotional moments that hit harder as adults 📼 Discuss why this movie was inescapable on VHS in the 90s 😂 Quote scenes we absolutely still have memorized It’s funny, tender, ridiculous, and timeless — the kind of movie that made you laugh as a kid and quietly wrecked you as an adult.So grab some drive-by fruit, keep an eye on the stove, and remember: help is on the way, dear. 💌 Sign up for our email newsletter: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com/email 🎬 Learn more & connect with us: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com 📼 See the movie list (and add your own!): https://bit.ly/vhsclubmovielist
