A look back at the world of forgotten media
Mark Jeacoma and Chris Hasler love ALL TV - the comedies, drama, horror and even love stories but there are many shows that have been overlooked and considered lost. With the help of friends, fellow musicians and celebrity guests Mark and Chris seek these shows out and opens the forum to a discussion about these forgotten and not so forgotten gems.
Come along with Mark as he pops in an 8-track, record or reel to reel and plays some interesting music that he is currently or has listened to in the past.

The Pointer Sisters also spend some time on stage live from Las Vegas! There’s so much in this 2 hour presentation and I hope you guys enjoy it! Happy New Year to all of you from VHS Rewind! and RetroTV!…

I don’t think it will come to many as much of a surprise for my fondness for the tv show, Whiz Kids which originally aired for a very brief 8 months from October 5, 1983 to June 2, 1984.

Following on the heels of last episode’s review of Woody Allen’s A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK through the prism of our current MeToo culture, VHS Rewind heads into the center of an even more dangerous storm as our new episode focuses its attention on auteur writer-director-star Louis (serial-masturbator-in-front-of-trapped-women) CK’s, I LOVE YOU DADDY.…
