🚀 THE VHS VAULT warps to slow motion this week… very, very slow motion. 🚀
VHS_Jase and Jason Roy Gaston are joined by the ever-brave Captain Joe Dove to tackle Star Trek: The Motion Picture — the most expensive lava lamp ever projected onto a movie screen.
We talk about:
🛸 Why this movie feels less like a film and more like a cinematic spa day
💍 The Enterprise reveal that lasts longer than most marriages
🎼 Jerry Goldsmith absolutely carrying the entire production on his back
🤖 V’Ger, the ultimate example of “we flew all this way to ask you to Google something”
🧠 Whether this movie is secretly brilliant, deeply boring, or both at the exact same time
Is it thoughtful sci-fi? A bold artistic swing? Or just 2001: A Space Odyssey filtered through beige carpeting and early-70s therapy culture?
Yes. All of that. Somehow.
So grab your VHS copy (tracking optional), set phasers to ponderous, and join us as we lovingly roast, respect, and gently shake Star Trek: The Motion Picture to see if a faster cut falls out.
