The VHS Strikes Back

The show where we dust off the old video player, and go on a journey to look at the good and bad movies of yesteryear.

Most people would recognize Beowulf as either the Old English poem or maybe the 2007 animated movie, directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future), written by Neil Gaiman and starring Ray Winstone. And some of those people may also think that movie was decent. Well, we aren’t covering that ome this week. We are covering the lower-budget 1999 post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure, starring Christopher Lambert and Rhona Mitra. And Beowulf doesn’t fit into a post-apocalyptic world I hear you say?? Neither would Mortal Kombat style techno music, but that didn’t stop these particular movie makers. This one has to be seen, and heard, to be believed.
