Andrew Peru is Back (Pt. 2)

This month on VHQuest, we sit down again with Mr. Andrew Peru, part 3!

We chat about our favorite movie novelizations and how our quest has evolved in the last year. From VHS, to DVD, to books. As well, we play a riveting game of Director Vs. Director, and I think you may have some some strong opinions about our strong opinions.

And what is your favorite Evil Dead? 1? 2? Reboot? Musical?!?

It’s all on another episode of VHQuest. Check it folks!

What was your first movie crush? In which movie did you see your first boobs? And our personal favorite, which movie did you....well you'll just have to listen and find out.

The Last Blockbuster

The Last Blockbuster

Blockbuster, once the nation's biggest video rental chain, has become an endangered species. A single brick and mortar store still exists in the town of Bend, Oregon. A new documentary on Netflix, "The Last Blockbuster", chronicles the life and times of the management and nostalgia of the store. We at VHQuest have a special episode for all of you, discussing the documentary and our own memories of Blockbuster and local video stores. 

We highly recommend this documentary. To our listeners, please message us with your own experiences and memories of Blockbuster; endlessly browsing the shelves, checking out the staff picks, picking out the perfect candy, or maybe even dawning the blue polo for your first job. Fellow questers, we hope you enjoy this special episode of VHQuest!

VHQuest is back! This month we welcome back a seasoned quester, Rob Joynes, and the creator of the VHQuest logo, Chris Hulsizer. As we reminisce on the days of TapeGod, Rob shares some scores and finds, including the now cautionary tale of The Kid Who Ran for President. And Chris shares with us one of his favorite Oscar considerations. Questions arise like, how much would you pay for Edward Penishands? Would you buy tape bootlegs of new releases? Have YOU ever seen The Snurks? And a big thank you to the quester who helped fulfill Rob's quest request almost a year ago! It's all here on this episode of VHQuest!

It's another episode of VHQuest! This month we sit down with  Andrew Peru, a jack of all trades and VHS connoisseur from Portland, OR. We chat about his early induction into horror and sci-fi, while hiding it from his parents. What movie scared the crap out of you when you were young?  

Andrew spills what it's like to be a VHS collector in the PNW and his different tastes for tapes. With warm memories of video stores, slip covers, and cool fonts, Andrew takes us into his mylar wrapped world. And you won't want to miss his Golden Tape(s). It's all this month on VHQuest!

VHS Traders (Pt. 2)

VHS Traders (Pt. 2)

We've got a packed house this month for Part 2 of our interview with the cousins over at VHS Traders! And the return of the one and only Mike Graves! 

In the midst of a Halloween like never before, and the most important election in our lifetimes, the quest still continues! The boys get in the spirit of the season with strange Official White House VHS tapes featuring Ronald Regan, and the 1995 classic Casper. And are you dedicated to only Halloween tapes or do you bit the bullet and pull up Netflix for some of the classics? Be honest, it's so easy...

Also! The boys talk about their youtube show and found footage projects, as well as our dream jobs after COVID and a map of the US to track their VHS mail deliveries. And we ask, which movie monster would you choose to bring about the mutually assured destruction of American politics? It's all this month on VHQuest!

Armageddon or Deep Impact? LED or Plasma? To be or not to be? These are the pressing questions we ask the boys of VHS Traders, the tape slinging cousins helping VHS make it’s comeback. They share their thoughts on the return of rental stores, the best tv screens, having more tapes than movies on Netflix, and how they keep questing in these difficult times. Plus, do spoiler alerts even matter anymore? Who doesn’t know Bruce Willis was dead the whole time? And have you ever popped in a tape right during a titty scene? It’s all this month on VHQuest!

Has quarantine got you down? Well luckily VHQuest is still here for you! This month, we get together with Brice and Dave, two local Spokane questers out on the town. We got cozy and reminisce on the days of Sam Goody and Suncoast. Our cabin fever has us thinking back to the boobie traps of Home Alone, and the practicality behind them.

vhsnest (Carson Ball)

It's almost February and we are feeling the love! We sit down with Carson Ball, a collector and media junkie and the man behind @vhsnest on Instagram and boy do we have some questions for him. How much would you spend on a VHS tape? For real? And do you hate The Goonies as much as Ben does or do you just love the Oregon coast too much. Do children in horror films give you the willies and scare you more than slashers? It's all for you Damien on this months episode of VHQUEST!

Please join us on February 11th for our Valentines TapeGod Tuesday! Join us in celebrating our truest TapeGod at this VHS, physical media, and all things vintage market hosted at Vermillion Art Gallery and Bar on Capitol Hill, Seattle. 6-9:30pm.

VHQuest hits Season 2! We are stoked for what the new year has in store for us.
This month, Mike and Ben share their summer finds and catch up after the long break. We dive into some odd tapes and how to find them, and bring it back to the christian tapes at your grandparents house. For some of us, a new season means finding a new place to live, and we all have felt the pain of moving all those boxes from under your bed. We recap on some of the latest VHS news, including an oddly costumed human putting odd objects on suburban doorsteps. Pop in that second tape because Season 2 starts now.
