Created and hosted by Rob Taylor, the first episode is now available via MonsterPictures.com (clickity-click that hot link to watch, man!), and follows Rob as he travels to Lara, Victoria and peruses the collection of fellow Tapehead Jamie Tate.

New VHS-Driven Documentary VHS REVOLUTION is Now Streaming for Free on Amazon Prime!

Sure signs of the rewind revolution are popping up everywhere, Tapeheads.

Contrary to common belief, the video store isn't quite dead. And if you're regularly tuned in to Lunchmeat Land, you'll know this to be VHSolid fact.
