Video Vision used to be a video rental store back in the golden era of physical media. Now Rodney and Kibby struggle to keep it open, repairing old VHS decks and transferring tapes to digital.
As the film opens, Kibby has fielded calls from Creepy Phil (Christopher Bligh) about transferring footage of his old public access cable show to disc, from Gator who wants to convert some tapes of their father’s band, and dealt with the delivery of an extremely heavy, and odoriferous, VHS player with no return address. Being three months behind on the rent, they can’t afford to turn any customers down, even Creepy Phil.
Complications ensue when Gator turns out to be a trans man whom Kibby finds herself attracted to. Even more problems arise when she cuts...

The film opens with a woman her shirt ripped open so her bright red bra can blind the viewer, running for her life. She still has time to stop, so the camera can give us a shot of her breasts rising and falling in time to the soundtrack. She shouldn’t have done that because the mostly unseen creature chasing her catches up with her, disembowels her and rips her arm off.

Exclusive: Paula Abdul is among an ensemble cast for a feature-length podcast from Steven Jay Rubin (Bleacher Bums), Billy Riback (Home Improvement) and stand-up comic Bruce Smirnoff.
The American Idol star is starring in Spacemen From Planet Judy alongside Phil Hendrie (Rick and Morty), Hal Rudnick (Reno 911), John Mariano (The Offer) and Eric Waddell (Funny You Should Ask).
It begins when all of Earth’s gay males, and two straight men dressed in drag because there was a mix-up in their Halloween costumes, are abducted to the distant planet Judy (named after Judy Garland), the gay haven world of the universe, where they will live in freedom without oppression.
Inadvertently kidnapped, bumbling information technology specialists Mitch (Hendrie) and Lenny (Rudnick) find themselves on an exotic world of constant partying, mingling and cuddling, all run by the Golden Ram Man (Mariano), a mad tyrant who abhors insubordination and seeded grapes.
