“Favorite pod cast would love to hear Monty Python movies reviewed. An American who enjoys listening to these guys always make me laugh.”

“Just a couple of blokes talking about movies while going on a transgression most of the time on subjects completely unrelated to the film discussed.”

“Absolutely love this podcast!!!!The hosts reminisce about the good old movies (and occasional shockers) of years gone by, each one taking me back to fond moments of my younger years, most of which evolved around the many hours spent loitering around the vhs stores, talking myself into approaching...”Read full review »

“Great concept for a podcast but what a missed opportunity. There is so much back story to the films of the 1980’s - the decade that literally saved cinema, however the lack of film knowledge amongst the two presenters makes the pod content a little underwhelming. I have tried three episodes and...”Read full review »

“Just found this podcast and I’m enjoying catching up on the earlier episodes.
Listen along as these loveable buffoons crap all over your childhood memories. Chris is mostly clueless and wrong, but Dave is switched on, and carries him along.
However they are both very likeable, and the joy of the...”Read full review »

“Really enjoying listening to these two presenters, they have great chemistry and give superb insight to those movies we’ve probably seen either many, many years ago or many, many times over. Dare I say it, listening to these reviews is actually better than rewatching your favourite movies yet...”Read full review »

“Dave & Chris are two men who know what they like and are not afraid to share their opinions on the films that are “Absolute B*ll*ks” as Chris would put it.
Join them as they cover the good, the bad and the obscure from the classic VHS era. Harkening back to memories of my youth, looking for...”Read full review »

“Great to hear reviews from 2 guys of a similar age who would have scoured the local video shop for the potential gems and taken a hit with late charges if it turned out to be a belter.
Caught Chris and Dave on their Office podcast and had to check out this prequel. Genuine film fans easy to...”Read full review »

“Tears regularly stream down my face when I listen to this show- two very funny guys. It’s not the most insightful/in-depth film analysis podcast out there, but it’s definitely one of the funniest. Thanks for all the laughs, boys”

“An absolute hilarious movie review show, one of the most entertaining film related podcasts I’ve discovered in a while. Love the epic rants by co-host Chris who has truly destroyed many a bad martial arts movie on this podcast.”

“Love this niche podcast! I was born much later than when many of these films came out, and at the tail end of the VHS era. I haven’t seen many of the films reviewed in fact. After seeking out Karate Kid reviews, I stumbled upon this absolute GEM.
The hosts’ chemistry and banter really makes...”Read full review »

“This is a great film podcast. It really reminds me of my teenage years obsessing about film, particularly the action genre. Van Damme, Annie, Stallone, Willis etc all had a huge influence On my VHS years. Great to share this with two like minded enthusiasts!”

“This has to be one of the funniest podcasts I’ve heard. Dave and Chris often have me in stitches esp when recounting stories of their personal experiences. The crowd of admirers singing “you’re the best around” from Karate Kid made me laugh out loud.”

“Look forward to every episode. Brilliant content and always hilarious. Whether it’s the two hosts (Chris & Dave) stitching each other up with poor movie choices or just their general light hearted take on classic, or not so classic, movies from the VHS era. Highly recommended 👍”

“Before streaming, before digital files, before Blu-ray and DVD, there was the VHS Cassette - the first and greatest (at the time) gateway to the home theater experience! Every episode, The VHS Strikes Back reviews a movie from yesteryear, and let you know if it is a forgotten gem or a forgettable...”Read full review »
