Film History On Videotape Podcast / Time Travel Series / Review #221 / Back To The Future Part II Gotta go back in time.   Film History on Videotape kicks off the new year and a new series of movie reviews with Back to the Future part 2, the sequel to the 1985 classic.  We thought it was only fitting to start off our Time Travel Series with the movie that took a shot at the current year in question; 2015.   What's it got? The future as well as the past, slapstick comedy, hover boards and another cliffhanger ending. What is it lacking?   Huey Lewis, Crispin Glover, and less nostalgia for a time since past.  People love it and hate it?  What did we think?  Oh just guess.  No just listen!   Enjoy!

Film History On Videotape Podcast / Vampire Movies / Review #220 / Interview With The Vampire Drink from me and live forever.  That was the tagline for our next entry into our series of vampy horror flicks, 1994's Interview with the Vampire starring Hollywood Soup.  Based on the bestselling novel, this movie was most likely a response to Bram Stokers Dracula from 1992 and features many actors in some of their earliest roles.  We also bullshit about 007 for a bit at the beginning and delve off into a discussion about Brad Pitt and acting in general.  Oh and it also features a fucking terrible Rolling Stones cover by Guns n' Roses.

Film History On Videotape Podcast / Vampire Movie Series / Review 218 / Innocent Blood Film History on Videotape continues our series of oddly placed vampire flicks with a sexy, bloody and damn near hilarious one called Innocent Blood from 1992.  Starring a boatload of actors in bit parts and cameos and directed by the spotty but sometimes fantastic John Landis, it tells the story of a sexy French vampire living in modern day Pittsburgh who feeds upon the underbelly of society;  The mafia.  There is laughs, great pre-CG special effects (arguably) and a WHOLE lot of nudity.  I bet you can guess what we thought of it.  Listen in and check out Innocent Blood!
