Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to dive into the bizarre world of Billy Corgan's $20 Goth Smoothie, the nostalgia of those old “Scary Sounds” Halloween CDs, and memories of Erehwon mountain stores at the mall.

“What job pays well but doesn't require brains?”That's the blunt question Sandy and Tricia tackle in this lively episode of The Sandy Show. From real estate agents to OnlyFans stars, they explore the controversial list of high-paying jobs that don't necessarily demand a high IQ—and share their own hot takes on each one. But that's just the beginning. Tricia drops a bombshell in The Story We Love: AI-generated resumes are flooding hiring systems, and companies may soon charge you just to apply for a job. Is this the future of employment—or a desperate attempt to filter out the bots? Guest Steven Presley from Thunder Pop TV joins the show to share a wild story about Ryan Reynolds leaving 40 voicemails for Bill Murray, all in an effort to get him into a John Candy documentary. The result? A public F-bomb and a hilarious moment with Blake Lively. Other highlights include:The death of the beloved free streaming app Freevee and what it means for Meemaws and Peepaws everywhere.A viral TikTok health hack that involves jumping 50 times before your morning coffee.A bizarre law about mailing used underwear (yes, really).A nostalgic tribute to Don Knotts and the enduring charm of The Andy Griffith Show.Memorable Quote:"You don't need brains to make money… but you do need charisma." – Sandy McIlree
Send us a textEver watch a movie that feels like it was built out of wild props and late-night dreams—and then realize no one bothered to build the world around it? We dive headfirst into Nothing but Trouble, tracing how a killer cast (Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy) and a bonkers premise wobble into an unappealing blur of gadgets, traps, and gross-out gags. From the courtroom rollercoaster and the infamous Bone Stripper to a Hawaiian Punch dinner and a cameo from Digital Underground, we break down why spectacle without stakes falls flat—and where the film accidentally shows flashes of the sharper movie it could've been.We talk tone, pacing, and the delicate math of horror-comedy: why absurdity only lands when the world has rules, how character choices give jokes friction, and what happens when you skip setup and chase set pieces. Aykroyd's judge hints at a better blueprint—a lonely showman versus a gleeful sadist—and we explore how a few structural changes could have turned Vulcanvania into a memorable cult playground rather than a cautionary tale. Along the way, we connect threads to House of Blues, appreciate the handful of precision laughs Chevy sneaks in, and call out John Candy's split roles and the film's most head-scratching creations.Then we zoom out. Gen V returns with Hamish Linklater's delicious menace, Midnight Mass gets its flowers for character-first dread, and we compare comedy fibers across The Office, Parks and Rec, The Paper, and the Frasier reboot—why some ensembles feel warm and others punch down. It all loops back to the craft: world-building is an engine; jokes and scares are cargo. If the engine sputters, nothing arrives.Stick around for a celebratory tease: next week we're queuing up Broken Arrow for Todd's birthday.

Hello! And welcome to our September episode! Hopefully it's still September by the time you hear it, but not to worry! The Halloween episode will be out long before Halloween.

His new book is required reading for any comedy fan - John Candy: A Life In Comedy. Paul's here to discuss the book and the amazing life and career of the great John Candy. True Tales From Weirdsville takes a look at something we all do, sleep, and asks the question, what could go wrong? Actually a lot.

This week the boys discuss Ryan's Reynolds's remarks about journalists' cruel interviews with John Candy and another story about a fat black ballerina dancing on point as part of New York Fashion Week. Then to kick off spooky season, we look at body horror and fatness as monstrosity.

It's Mighty Monday's and Ryan is here to help review a throwback Disney sports comedy, Rookie of the Year.ABOUT ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:After a freak accident leaves 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner with an unusually powerful pitching arm, his life changes overnight. The struggling Chicago Cubs discover his talent and sign him to the big leagues, thrusting Henry into the wild world of Major League Baseball. Between learning how to balance fame, friendship, and family, Henry must figure out if he has what it takes to be more than just a rookie sensation.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:July 7, 1993 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:Thomas Ian Nicholas as Henry RowengartnerGary Busey as Chet “The Rocket” SteadmanDaniel Stern as Brickma (and Director)Albert Hall as Manager Sal MartinellaAmy Morton as Mary RowengartnerEddie Bracken as Bob CarsonBRAN'S ROOKIE OF THE YEAR SYNOPSIS:The movie kicks off, and there's no mistaking it—this is a baseball movie. John Candy is at Wrigley Field for the first game of the season, and, well… the Cubs aren't doing so hot.Cut to young Henry Rowengartner, who, despite absolutely loving baseball, also isn't very good—just like his beloved Cubs. But it's okay, because he has a loving and supportive mom at home, who is dating this goober named Jack, whom Henry absolutely hates.The next day at school, a classmate hits a fly ball to see if Henry can catch it. He's running, things are looking good… until he slips on the grass. His arm is badly injured and has to be in a cast for four months. When the cast finally comes off, the doctor tests Henry's arm—but suddenly it snaps forward and hits the doctor in the face. Luckily, it's nothing serious; the tendons just healed a little tight.To celebrate being out of the cast, his mom gives him and his two best friends tickets to a Cubs game. During the game, the opposing team hits a home run… and, naturally, Henry throws it back. But this isn't just any throw—the ball rockets all the way to the catcher!The Cubs' management is shocked to learn the incredible throw came from an 11-year-old boy. Desperate to save the struggling team, general manager Larry “The Fish” Fisher recruits Henry. They sign him to a contract and, in front of a sellout crowd, make him pitch in the first game. It doesn't go perfectly… but the Cubs still win.Before long, Henry starts hitting his stride. With the wins come sponsorships, fame, and attention—but he begins to drift away from his friends. Realizing he's lost sight of what matters, Henry decides to retire at the end of the season. Meanwhile, the team's owner realizes the Fish isn't exactly the best manager and decides it's time for a change.It all comes down to the final game. Henry steps in to save the day, but during play, he slips and lands hard on his arm. His arm is suddenly “fixed”—but not quite the right way. Thanks to clever plays and some help from his mom, the Cubs pull off a victory. In the end, Henry returns to being just a normal kid, ready to enjoy life beyond baseball.

What if I told you there was a movie written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale — the duo who would go on to create Back to the Future… directed by Steven Spielberg, fresh off the massive success of Jaws and Close Encounters… starring comedy legends John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy… and scored by the music genius behind Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park — himself, John Williams? You'd expect a guaranteed blockbuster. Instead, what audiences got in 1979 was 1941 — Spielberg's first spectacular misfire.
Happy Monday. It's time to get Mighty! Ryan is here to help review the 1993 classic, Rookie of the Year. ABOUT COOL RUNNINGS:When a Jamaican sprinter is disqualified from the Olympic Games, he enlists the help of a dishonored coach to start the first Jamaican Bobsled Team.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR COOL RUNNINGS:October 1, 1993 | TheatersCAST & CREW OF COOL RUNNINGS:Leon as Derice BannockDoug E. Doug as Sanka CoffieRawle D. Lewis as Junior BevilMalik Yoba as Yul BrennerJohn Candy as Irving “Irv” BlitzerBRAN'S COOL RUNNINGS SYNOPSIS: We're in Jamaica, and it's not quite bobsled time. We meet Jamaican sprinter Derice running through town. It's November 1987, and Derice is preparing to qualify for the Olympics. He runs until he reaches the pushcart competition, where his best friend Sanka competes in the big pushcart race. Sanka crashes, but no problem—Derice keeps running.It's time for the qualifying race. Derice is the clear favorite. The top four finishers will represent Jamaica in the Olympics. Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him.Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it's Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life.It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there's no such thing as a three-man bobsled team. That's when Junior shows up. Yul tries to fight him when he walks in, but—like it or not—that's their squad.They get to work, and after a lot of crashing and falling, they finally manage to get into the bobsled in under six seconds.Now they need funding. After failing to land a sponsor, they try random fundraisers, but still fall short. Junior steps up and sells his fancy car to cover the rest of the costs.To Calgary they go. Blitzer registers the team and borrows a rundown bobsled from a former teammate. The Jamaicans struggle to adapt to, well, ice. Derice talks to an opponent who warns him that Blitzer is holding him back—that he hasn't been the same since he was caught cheating.Meanwhile, the other teammates get into a bar fight at a honky-tonk. Derice gives them a pep talk about locking in and focusing.It's time for qualifying, and Blitzer surprises them with their very own uniforms. They need to make it under 60 seconds—and THEY DO IT!They celebrate by painting their sled and naming it Cool Runnings. But soon after, they receive a letter: they've been disqualified. Blitzer storms into the rules committee meeting, insisting they not penalize the team for his past mistakes. After deliberation, the committee reinstates them.It's Olympic time. Back home, everyone watches as they march in the opening ceremonies. Junior's dad tries to pull him back home, but Junior stands up to him at last.The team's first run on the track is a disaster, and they finish dead last. Derice tries copying the Swiss team's methods, but Sanka pushes back—telling him they need to be themselves. On the second day, they race in their own style and finish eighth.During their final race, a loose screw causes one of the bobsled's blades to detach, sending the sled crashing and flipping over. Determined to finish, the team lifts the sled and carries it across the finish line. The crowd erupts in applause—including Junior's father.The epilogue explains that the team returned to Jamaica as heroes, and came back four years later to the Winter Olympics to compete as equals.

The next VHS Strikes Back pick comes from Chris, and he's gone for the high-octane 1989 comedy Cannonball Run III: Speed Zone — also known in some regions as Cannonball Fever. Chris has a history of picking sometimes questionable movies, and this one certainly fits the bill. Directed by Jim Drake, who was best known for his work in television sitcoms, the film was the third entry in the loose Cannonball Run franchise, following The Cannonball Run (1981) and Cannonball Run II (1984). Despite its connection to the series, Speed Zone leaned heavily into slapstick comedy, celebrity cameos, and outrageous stunt work, attempting to capture the same chaotic energy that made the earlier films cult favorites.The production brought together a star-studded cast, including John Candy, Eugene Levy, Donna Dixon, and Brooke Shields, with many familiar comedic faces from the era lending their talents. Shot in both Canada and the United States, the movie doubled down on big stunt sequences and over-the-top gags, but it struggled critically and commercially upon release. However, in the decades since, Speed Zone has developed a reputation among fans of offbeat ‘80s comedies as a guilty pleasure, bolstered by its eccentric mix of stars and its place in the larger, gloriously messy Cannonball Run legacy.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryBuckle up… because the road is about to get ridiculous. When a cross-country race brings together the most outrageous drivers ever put behind the wheel, chaos takes the fast lane. With comedy legends like John Candy and Eugene Levy trading punches with traffic laws, and stunt drivers risking it all for the biggest gags on four wheels… this isn't about winning — it's about surviving the ride. Speed Zone… where the gas pedal meets pure madness.Fun FactsJohn Candy joined the cast after turning down several roles in the late ‘80s.The movie features a star-studded cast, including Brooke Shields, Eugene Levy, Donna Dixon, and Tim Matheson.Despite being packed with comedic talent, the movie bombed at the box office, making less than $1 million in the U.S.Brooke Shields won a Golden Raspberry Award (Razzie) for Worst Supporting Actress for her role in Speed Zone.Director Jim Drake had previously directed Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol.The movie's stunt work involved real high-speed chases, with stunt drivers performing dangerous maneuvers instead of relying on camera tricks.The working title during production was Cannonball Run III, but rights issues prevented the official branding.John Candy and Eugene Levy would later reunite in other comedy projects, solidifying their reputations as Canadian comedy legends.The film has since developed a cult following among fans of bad movies, often celebrated for its over-the-top humor and chaotic energy.The film was released internationally under different titles, including Cannonball Run III in some regions, which confused audiences but helped it connect to the more successful franchise.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

After last week's break, THE BIG 4-0 returns to wish a happy belated birthday to John Candy's (first) bid to carve out a career as the slapsticky dad in the bumbling vacation comedy SUMMER RENTAL. We also wish an early happy BIG 4-0 to Martin Scorsese's one-night-tapped-in-SoHo surrealist dramady, AFTER HOURS. And, of course, this week's birthday boy is none other than The Koff (as we like to call him) in the omnipresent video-store-shelf slice of 1980s action cheese, AMERICAN NINJA. Ron and Peter also touch on a bevy of other films, including recent releases SINNERS, WEAPONS, NOBDY 2, HAPPY GILMORE 2, and THE NAKED GUN (reboot/legacy sequel), as well as a handful of older films including COUPLES RETREAT, REVENGE, and THE CHASE. Please remember to Rate, Like, and Subscribe, and we'll be back in two weeks with a banger BIG 4-0 birthday line-up: COMMANDO, INVASION USA, and JAGGED EDGE! Happy Labor Day, everybody!
