Director Tom Seymour's 10th feature length film and winner of over 20 Independent film awards! The last stand of the American exploitation film. In a post video store era, media consolidation has led to the censorship and near death of the independent and exploitation film industry. Joe Bob Briggs (Last Drive-in), Debbie Rochon (Toxic Avenger IV), Lloyd Kaufman and James Rolfe (Angry Video Game Nerd) take us on an adventure that leads from the last Blockbuster video store in Bend Oregon to Troma Entertainment in New York, all in an effort to examine how history keeps repeating itself from the video store era to the modern streaming. This film is a follow-up to the 5 time award winning VHS Massacre documentary, winner of three Telly Awards, a Gold Remi from World-fest Houston and Best Documentary at Miami Sci-Fi! Directed by Thomas Edward Seymour.

Review for VHS Massacre Too

This was another of these Tubi documentaries that I put on while I was at work and treated like a podcast. What is interesting is that I didn't realize this was distributed by Troma Entertainment until seeing their logo at the start. I'm also an idiot and watched this before seeing the first one. Regardless, I was born in the late 1980s, but grew up in the latter heyday so I was intrigued to watch this doc.

What I love here is that we have John Bloom aka Joe Bob Briggs. Now I'll be honest, I knew who he was growing up. I'd watch MonsterVision every now and then. I also had the movie channels so I tended to watch those more often. I did recognize Lloyd Kaufman due to having seen a good number of Troma films as a teen. Debbie Rochon is someone who I've come to learn about along with J. R. Bookwalter and then of course, James Gunn. Hearing and seeing these people talk about how streaming has helped kill the giant chain video stores was interesting. It is also a bummer to hear how streaming has become stricter when it was closer to a vein for independent filmmakers at first.

This has good production value so credit there. I didn't know who these guys were so it was interesting to learn about them and this is a topic that I'm fascinated about. I'm going back to watch the original one to see how this one grew from it. I rather enjoyed seeing the different last remaining locations of Blockbuster and 'American' Family Video. Does make me nostalgic for the days of the video stores.

My Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
