Sony’s Betamax Blunder

Release Date: 06/07/2022

Description: VHS won the so-called ‘format wars’ of the 1980s - but before JVC unveiled their VCR system, Sony created the market, with their innovative Japanese launch of Betamax on 7th June, 1975.  For the first time, consumers could tape shows at home, rewind and fast-forward the best bits, and share cassettes with friends. But Betamax tapes were only one hour long, so they couldn’t contain an entire movie or football game. And Hollywood was unhappy about the technology, triggering a massive lawsuit from Universal Pictures and Walt Disney. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider what role pornography played in VHS’ ultimate defeat of Betamax; explain why video rental shops were such a popular concept; and reveal how, despite Sony’s early advantage, JVC got other manufacturers on-board before poor Betamax could catch up…  Further Reading: • ‘June 7, 1975: Before Digital, Before VHS ...

We're Going Back

Release Date: 11/19/2020

Authors: World Gone Geek

Description: Follow the adventures of Jeff, Yuta and Allea as they are thrust back in time to watch classic (and not so classic) films of the 70's and 80's... each episode starts with an audio drama narrative story that thrusts them in and out of the movies they discuss... then join them in studio as they have a good old fashioned discussion of trivia and knowledge about the film... at the end, the narrative continues and they are thrust through time again! What film will they end up in next... and will they ever get back home? And what power or force is behind the magical betamax player that is causing their travels? Is it from some benevolent source... or is something insidious afoot? Only time will tell... Part audio drama, part film discussion... all nostalgic and entertaining fun!
