Episode 8 - Ballad of Dane

Episode 8 - Ballad of Dane

On this special episode of Straight to VHS: The Chris and Carson Show, the gang is joined by fan of the show, Dane. Much to everyone’s chagrin, Carson does another segment of grinding my gears, before the gang breaks down this week’s movie: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Vignette by beautiful vignette, they break down these joyful western tales. Carson is both in love, and heartbroken with this movie. Chris wishes he connected more with James Franco. Dane cracks a really good joke, and Kyle simply cannot stop laughing at it. Maybe we’ll be seeing more of Dane . . .

Episode 4 - Hostless

They got it right this year!! That’s right, Chris, Carson, and Kyle are here to breakdown what they liked and what they loved about the 2020 Academy Awards. They all very much loved Parasite. Carson is kind of a downer and laments about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but besides that they all have a good time. Did anyone see Judy? Did Kyle hit his hedge? Does this show, much like the Oscars, need a host? This, and much more, on this week’s episode of Straight to VHS.

In this episode Chris, Carson, and Kyle (yes, he’s still a part of this) break down one of this year’s top Oscar baits—the hit film 1917. Does the “long shot” work? Didn’t we all think Corporal Blake was the real hero? This, and more, on 1917. We also discuss the theater experience, why Chris would hate to sit next to a Carson at a movie, and whether Kyle is a clown (he is).
