Analog Jones and the Temple of Film: VHS Podcast
Listen as three men set out to find the treasure in the countless mounds of forgotten VHS tapes around flea markets, garage sales, basements, and closets. We are a VHS podcast that looks at VHS box art, posters, trailers, and behind the scenes. Every week we put something in our film museum like Indiana Jones would.
