Whether buzzing his neighborhood with model planes or switching channels on the TV next door, 13-year-old Randy Mason has the world at his fingertips...as long as he's got a remote in his hands.
But when one of Randy's homemade gadgets winds up wiping out his best pal's science project, things suddenly and hilariously spin out of control. Randy retreats to his hideout, a vacant model home, only to find it invaded by a trio of bumbling burglars. As frantic friends and clumsy cops search for the missing Randy, he's forced to fall back on his own hi-tech devices (remote-controlled toys tuned for laughs and set for fun) in a side-splitting, warm-hearted, comedy for every grownup who still can't program a VCR–and for every kid who can.

VHS Double Tape Description
May 1996
What you are about to see is the true version of Natural Born Killers.
When Natural Born Killers was originally released in 1994, 150 cuts were made in order to receive an R rating. Without them, the film's impact was never fully realized. In this director's cut, those trims have been restored, and with them, my original vision of what the film was meant to be.
Director Oliver Stone brings you a bold new look at a country seduced by fame, obsessed by crime and consumed by the media.
In the media circus of life, they were the main attraction.
Tape 1
Introduction by Oliver Stone
Director's Cut of Natural Born Killers
Tape 2
Deleted Scenes: Ashley Judd's shocking courtroom scene, Warden Jones' dismembered head, Denis Leary's never-before-seen performance, The controversial shot of reporter Downey's hand-wound, Oliver Stone's intense alternative ending, insightful narration by Oliver Stone and a behind-the-scenes "Making of NBK" special.

The Transformers: The Return of Optimus Prime (1987) VHS Movie Review
Thursday Sep 19, 2019
Thursday Sep 19, 2019
Analog Jones has the touch and rolls out with the Autobots! This week you get to enjoy our faces and talk robots with our, The Transformers: The Return of Optimus Prime (1987) VHS Movie Review.
Originally a YouTube Video
Back Story
This summer, I visited SDCC 2019 with the Geekscape Network and heard an interesting story from an animation writer named Marv Wolfman in a panel called "Nostalgia-Ganza: A Look Back at Animated Series from the '80s". Panelists included Eric Lewald (Rescue Rangers, Winnie the Pooh), Len Uhley (Adventures of the Gummi Bears, DuckTales), Marv Wolfman (Transformers, G.I. Joe, Superman), Karen Willson (G.I. Joe, She-Ra), Craig Miller (The Real Ghostbusters, The Smurfs), Brynne Chandler (He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Marc Scott Zicree (The Real Ghostbusters, The Littles).
There were many fantastic stories from these writers that helped create some of my favorite cartoon series growing up. But, one story stood out more than the rest from Marv Wolfman and his work on The Original Transformers. After the Transformers animated movie premiered and killed off the beloved leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, the toy company Hasbro got an unimaginable amount of hate mail. As a result, Marv Wolfman was given only two days to write a two-part episode that had to bring Optimus Prime back to life but also features every Transformer character that hadn't been seen on television in over a year.
After hearing this story, I decided to hunt down the VHS and talk about the episodes with Matt. Enjoy!
Quick Facts
Airdate: February 24, 1987

VHS Box Description
The Return of Optimus Prime Part 1
An evil scientist and his assistant decide it's time to rid Earth of Autobots and Decepticons. Their plan is to use Optimus Prime's lifeless body to lure every robot to their lab, then infect them with Sun Spores, an alien plague that instills a hatred so overwhelming that Autobots and Decepticons will want to destroy one another. It's too late to stop the madness when it's clear the Sun Spore virus is deadly to all life. The universe's only hope is to revive Optimus Prime.
The Return of Optimus Prime Part 2
Sky Lynx returns with the only being able to repair Optimus Prime—a Quintesson. If Optimus recovers, he and his Autobots will need to find a metal alloy that will protect Prime from Sun Spores while he ventures inside a virtual world containing the wisdom of the ages. Their destination lies deep inside heavily guarded Decepticon territory. Now both Autobot and Decepticon must put aside their differences and work together if either expects to survive.

"Purely Delicious—A Perfect Treat for the Entire Family!"
—Rex Reed
Heartwarming, enchanting, and beautifully crafted, this magical cartoon fantasy marks a new era for animation! "Gorgeous to look at! raves TIME.
"It'll delight kids everywhere" (Newsweek).
An extravaganza of dazzling animation, The Secret of Nimh is based on Robert O'Briens's award-winning tale of a timid mouse who becomes a heroine in spite of herself. Trying to save her house from Farmer Fitzginnon's plow, Mrs. Brisby, the mother mouse, gets help from a wonderfully klutzy crow, a wise owl, and some highly intelligent rats.
You'll marvel at the impressive abode of the Great Owl, and the Oz-like kingdom of the mysterious rats. And you'll be mesmerized by Nicodemus, the dignified leader of the rats, and the climactic showdown between two swashbuckling "ratversareies!"
The fun, drama, and suspense are brought to life by the voices of Dom DeLuise, John Carradine, Derek Jacobi, Hermione Baddeley, and Elizabeth Hartman. Oscar-winner Jerry Goldsmith's (The Omen) music beautifully underscores every mood. The Secret of Nimh is sheer delight! Share it with someone you love.
