VHQuest – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome to the World of Pokémon!

Beyond The Ball is the premiere Pokémon research podcast! Join Professors Braden and Will each episode as they read all of the entries for a single Pokémon (selected at random) and try to reach a broader understanding of it and the wider world it inhabits, striving to make sense of the natural world of Pokémon, one Pokédex entry at a time!

You can find more info on Beyond The Ball on the Partyfish Media website at https://www.partyfish.media/beyondtheball, and listen now where you get your podcasts! New episodes every Monday!

This month on VHQuest, we sit down again with Mr. Andrew Peru, part 3!

We chat about our favorite movie novelizations and how our quest has evolved in the last year. From VHS, to DVD, to books. As well, we play a riveting game of Director Vs. Director, and I think you may have some some strong opinions about our strong opinions.

And what is your favorite Evil Dead? 1? 2? Reboot? Musical?!?

It’s all on another episode of VHQuest. Check it folks!

We've got a packed house this month for Part 2 of our interview with the cousins over at VHS Traders! And the return of the one and only Mike Graves! 

In the midst of a Halloween like never before, and the most important election in our lifetimes, the quest still continues! The boys get in the spirit of the season with strange Official White House VHS tapes featuring Ronald Regan, and the 1995 classic Casper. And are you dedicated to only Halloween tapes or do you bit the bullet and pull up Netflix for some of the classics? Be honest, it's so easy...

Also! The boys talk about their youtube show and found footage projects, as well as our dream jobs after COVID and a map of the US to track their VHS mail deliveries. And we ask, which movie monster would you choose to bring about the mutually assured destruction of American politics? It's all this month on VHQuest!

Armageddon or Deep Impact? LED or Plasma? To be or not to be? These are the pressing questions we ask the boys of VHS Traders, the tape slinging cousins helping VHS make it’s comeback. They share their thoughts on the return of rental stores, the best tv screens, having more tapes than movies on Netflix, and how they keep questing in these difficult times. Plus, do spoiler alerts even matter anymore? Who doesn’t know Bruce Willis was dead the whole time? And have you ever popped in a tape right during a titty scene? It’s all this month on VHQuest!

Bologna, Cold Cuts, Turkey Swiss. Sensing a theme? It’s Lunchmeat!! This month we are so stoked to sit down with the one and only Josh Schafer from Lunchmeat VHS! Josh has proven that video stores aren’t dead, they just evolved. At Video Vortex in Raleigh, Josh is keeping the spirit alive. As COVID-19 takes over the world we dive into what has been keeping Josh busy, and how he quests during this difficult times. Plus, a very strange game of Would You Rather. And...are you wearing a Perkis Power t-shirt? It’s all on this episode of VHQuest!

VHQuest is back for Season 3! This month we chat with Ryan Tucker, a Spokane native and creative, about questing during COVID, a “Little Free Blockbuster”, a one man show of Die Hard, Seinfeld re-enactments, and so much more! Smoke ‘em if you like ‘em! #TheQuestContinues

The tape heads are back with a new season of VHQuest! We’ve got some amazing guests this season that we can’t wait to introduce you to. So tune in on July 21st for our season 3 kick off. The quest continues!

Instead of posting and promoting our regular episodes this week, Partyfish Media is pausing our shows and social media and standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movements and protests in response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, Tony McDade, and countless others at the hands of corrupt police brutality, founded upon and perpetuated by white supremacist culture. Black Lives Matter and they are in need of support and attention, now in this moment and into the future.

This month we have a special VHQuest hosts episode! We're also stoked to announce a new member of the crew! Nick Dudley from VHSLegacy is joining the VHQuest team and we are excited for what Nick's going to bring to the table.  The three of us chat via Zoom about the quest during quarantine, what we are doing to stay sane, and VHS in the time of corona. We also share some tips and strategies on how to keep on questing. Tapes have never been more integral than they are now and the quest never stops! This is VHQuest!

Has quarantine got you down? Well luckily VHQuest is still here for you! This month, we get together with Brice and Dave, two local Spokane questers out on the town. We got cozy and reminisce on the days of Sam Goody and Suncoast. Our cabin fever has us thinking back to the boobie traps of Home Alone, and the practicality behind them. Does anybody remember SelectaVision? Discovison? CEDs? Cuddle up in the pillow fort you've made for yourself and join us for another episode of VHQuest!
