If you’re a frequent visitor to the VHS-obsessed landscape of Lunchmeat Land, you’re sure to recall a recent feature on modern day movies receiving the retro VHS treatment where films such MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, Spike Jonze’s HER and ONLY GOD FORGIVES were transformed into fantasy video tapes much to the visual pleasure of Videovores everywhere.
