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

Welcome back to another episode of VHQuest! This month we welcome back Andrew Peru, a previous guest from season 2 and a good friend of the pod. Besides our normal chatter about what we've found since the last episode (which trust us, we've got some stories) we decided to have a little fun this month with some movie games! 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.

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!

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.

Tapes have never been more integral than they are now and the quest never stops! This is 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.

It's all here, on VHQUest!

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!

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.

We just got back from Chicago with so many scores, we had to check a second suitcase. Our quest guided us through the toy aisle of a Village Discount Outlet and met the Bill Nye of Young Earth Creationism.

Come, let's continue our quest...for the best...VHS!

This week we hangout with one of the coolest people you'll ever see driving a hearse around town. We talk about our favorite feel good tapes (what's yours?) and those stay-up-late horror films that shaped our childhoods, and haunted our dreams. Ever seen the 2003 smash hit, Tip Toes? We sure hope not. And would you vote #FreddyforPresident? That's our quest this month, take our hand and join us. You'll never wanna look back. This is VHQuest!

We travel to Spokane, WA to talk with our friend D, and while his cat meows into our mics, and a WWF tape plays in the background, we talk about bootlegging, a church fire, and the 1998 classic "What's Wrong with Cherry?".  And why should never get pulled over with a trunk full of bloody melons. We rewind time with this month’s VHQuest! *We realized that when we said Matrix Reloaded we actually meant Matrix Revolutions. Forgive us. 

This month we sit down with Dimitri Simakis (Ghoul Skool), a co-founder of the video blogging and archive website, Everything is Terrible! We talk about their movie tour, T H E G R E A T S A T A N, his strange stage characters, and how he quests. We ask, why Jerry? And is he even in the VHS scene? Plug in and come with us on our quest! And remember, “if everything is terrible, then nothing is”.

Distribution labels are "KEY" when it comes to questing and collecting. This month we talk about VHS distro, our favorite labels, and swimming in a sea of colored cassette tapes. We sit down with Ryan Ohm and Jeremy Marsan to talk about their own distribution label Weird Life LTR, and what they are doing to preserve the beauty of VHS...This is VHQuest!
