“Love listening to this podcast and makes me want to revisit some of the movies. Never seen The Star Wars holiday special , so looked at it on YouTube. Can’t unsee that p!sh now. Would love to see new content. Also love your input in the football attic too.
Any chance of new material?”

“For someone who was a kid growing up in the 80s, nostalgia doesn’t get much richer than this.
Betamax Video Club is a time-machine which will instantly take you back to the best (and worst) times of your youth. Enjoy!”

“Fab episode on a film that sustains a thoughtful revisit. Good to hear Catrin again...like a female, 80s loving Melvin Bragg - feel like she’s given me ammunition to get the husband to watch this now.”

“An excellent, enjoyable podcast discussion for Monty Python fans. Interesting and informative. Will watch the film again with plenty of new things to look out for. Who knew Daphne from ‘Frasier’ was a dancing girl in the film?”

“My expectations were low given lots of these types of podcasts around but wanted to listen to the one on Planes Trains & Automobiles.
Very well informed, stayed on point and gave a very concise overview of a film that has special memories.
Recommended.”

“Love this film and revisit it often. A great listen this (as usual) and lovely appreciation. Actually never realised Caine was that good across the 80’s until you realise some of the crackers. For espionage this is top notch as is the podcast. Get Intrada to look at that soundtrack”

“Betamax video club provides an opportunity to rediscover and reminisce about specific movies from the 80’s era. Yes, there were serious issues happening around the world during that time such as, "The Hand of God", however there were also periods of such simplistic crazes, like BMX’ing,...”Read full review »
