Welcome back to The VHS Vault, where nostalgia isn’t just a vibe—it’s a full-blown lifestyle choice. In this episode, Jason Roy Gaston and VHS_Jase dust off the Technicolor dream that is Pleasantville (1998), a movie so good it literally invented color.
Join our two cinematic archaeologists as they dive into this ‘90s masterpiece that taught us black-and-white TV isn’t just for grandparents and that repression can be cured with art, books, and maybe a little spontaneous combustion. Both Jason and Jase agree—this is one of the absolute best movies of the decade (yes, even better than that one with the boat and the iceberg).
Expect laughs, deep thoughts, and at least one rant about how modern movies don’t turn basketball games into existential commentary. Also, keep an eye out for the moment VHS_Jase tries to explain symbolism and ends up accidentally describing the plot of The Matrix. Again. So grab your malt, adjust your antenna, and prepare to get colored in. Because Pleasantville isn’t just a movie… it’s a vibe.
