As Jennifer Lopez famously stated in that golden turkey, GIGLI: “Its turkey time. Gobble, Gobble.” (Relive the experience here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCQEs4uXbSc) Yes, its Turkey Time once again and VHS Rewind is back with its Thanksgiving way-back machine: in this episode, we taking you back in time to relive the 1991 Thanksgiving Day Parade (courtesy of an NBC affiliate in Eureka, California!). Guided by some cringe-inducing banter between hosts Katie Couric and Willard (loves the very young ladies) Scott, this particular Thanksgiving Day Parade offers the usual flotilla of floats, clowns, off-key high school marching bands, baton twirlers and of course your then-favorite character B A L L O O N S (Woody Woodpecker; Betty Boop (I think Willard has a woody for this one); Pink Panther; Raggedy Anne; Bart Simpson and more). And this parade is chock full of top Grade-A talent: John Schneider (!) SINGS! Kelsey Grammar SINGS! Keith Carradine SINGS! Joey Lawrence (‘memba him?) SINGS! Susan Anton (‘memba her?) SINGS! (and taking a nod from Willard, one of the VHS Rewind (loves the very young ladies) co-hosts (yes, it’s Christopher) swoons over Susan. And so much more incredible talent is on display (PC Quest (‘memba them?) (look them up if you don’t ‘member). And what is a Thanksgiving Day Parade without a depressing song from the then-Broadway show MISS SAIGON?!?! This parade abounds with so many great fashions. Given that this is the Thanksgiving Day parade, and Christmas is less than a month away, the commercials in between the parade are curiously not-Xmas-ey in flavor (some are, but most are about Cotton (!) (with an incredible earworm song sung by Richie Havens(!), unemployment in America (!!), Gameboys, Nintendo, Vaseline(!!!!) with no Xmas flavor whatsoever. *From time to time we will release a video companion to each episode….go check it out here: https://rumble.com/v72749u-we-watch-and-discuss-the-1991-macys-thanksgiving-day-parade.html So please Take a listen to this holiday tradition from VHS Rewind and we hope you have a very Happy (and delicious) Thanksgiving. Gobble Gobble.The post Macy’s 1991 Thanksgiving Days Parade first appeared on VHS Rewind!.

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, 1992The post It’s Time for CoreyGeddon!

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.

VHS Rewind’s review of “This is Spinal Tap,” which was released on March 2, 1984, praised the music and the director’s incredible job. They raved about the film’s soundtrack, which featured original songs performed by the fictional rock band Spinal Tap. The songs were not only hilarious, but also impressively catchy, and the reviewers praised the band’s talent and the quality of the music. They also lauded the film’s satirical take on the rock and roll lifestyle, which poked fun at the excesses and absurdities of the genre. They were also impressed with the direction of the film, which was helmed by Rob Reiner. They noted that Reiner’s background in comedy and his previous work as an actor and director allowed him to expertly balance the film’s humor and heart. The film’s mockumentary style, which presented Spinal Tap as a real band with real problems, was also praised for its authenticity and attention to detail. Hasler and Jeacoma commented on how the film was able to capture the spirit of the rock and roll world, while still managing to be a hilarious and entertaining satire. Overall, VHS Rewind’s review of “This is Spinal Tap” was incredibly positive, and it reflected the film’s enduring legacy as a cult classic and a seminal work of comedy. The film has since gone on to influence countless other mockumentaries and rock and roll satires, and it continues to be celebrated for its hilarious performances, memorable music, and expert direction.The post This is Spinal Tap first appeared on VHS Rewind!.
