Escape The Tapes

Escape The Tapes

Escape the Tapes is your new favorite rewind button. Join best friends Thomas Massey & Brittany Vaughn as they dive headfirst into the dusty, glorious, and occasionally ridiculous world of old films, forgotten VHS gems, scratched-up DVDs, and vintage media madness. Each episode, they crack open a relic from their past and attempt to escape its cinematic clutches. Fair warning: things might get a little off topic, mildly unhinged, and dangerously nostalgic. From cult classics to “how did this get made?” disasters, no tape (or disc) is safe. Pop some popcorn, press play, and embrace the chaos with Escape the Tapes.

Tiny bugs. Big drama. Questionable accents. In this episode, we get aggressively into A Bug’s Life—Pixar’s bug-powered fever dream with many a tangent. There’s mutiny. There’s sabotage. There’s a caterpillar who fully believes he’s God’s favorite. Honestly? Same.

In this episode, we explore the dark, decadent beauty of Crimson Peak, a gothic tale of haunted hearts and secrets buried beneath red clay, and Tarzan, the wild, sweeping adventure of a man raised by apes and the fiercely intelligent woman who tames his heart. From corsets to candlelight, we unravel how these stories reflect the era’s obsession with repressed emotions, exoticism, and the untamed power of love. Victorian romance was...

We are joined by our good friend Drew, aka @horror_with_an_accent to go over how we all missed getting to see the sequel of the OG My Bloody Valentine in theaters, as well as seeing it in 3D. There are comparisons, there are banjos, and there’s a new idea that Jason Blum better not steal without compensation.

Pre-MCU superheroes with a literal villainous ex-fiancée, a little bit of lazy, and a whole lot of silly.

We open on a truly iconic song. Spider-Man is quotable, real, dramatic, and everything we could have possibly asked for in the early 2000’s.

You thought we’d do horror for Halloween, you thought partially correct. 2000’s Scary Movie is dissected and quoted thoroughly, and we go into a potential new movie in the franchise.
