Dunn dun DU-UH-UHNNNN!!! Hold on to your rosary bleeds (yes, those rosary bleeds) as VHS Rewind! revisits a childhood favorite: THE CANNONBALL RUN, the flick featuring the most star-studded “…group of highway scofflaws and degenerates ever gathered together in one place…” God is the co-host (although he doesn’t have a mic in this episode) as Mark and Chris look at this politically incorrect ode to drinking while driving one hundred miles over the speed limit, which is filled to the brim with racist (Jamie Farr’s Arab complete with Arab theme music; Jackie Chan as an Asian stereotype in the making, complete with oriental theme music) and sexist humor.  Does the flick still hold up all these years later? Is Roger Moore still the funniest thing about the movie or is Mel Tillis f-f-f-f-funnier? Of the two, who is better looking: Adrienne Barbeau or Tara Buckman? Why does Dean Martin look soooooo f*cked up? Which car in this flick is the coolest? Buckle up (actually, none of the drivers in this movie buckles up so why should you?) as we answer all of these questions and more. Take a listen to this latest episode of VHS Rewind that has been called the podcast counterpart to the Bay of Pigs.  Are you gonna laugh during this episode? As Mel Tillis would say: “P-p-p-p-p-plenty!”

Big Enos (Pat McCormick) wants to drink Coors at a truck show, but in 1977 it was illegal to sell Coors east of the Mississippi River without a permit. Truck driver Bo “Bandit” Darville (Burt Reynolds) agrees to pick up the beer in Texas and drive it to Georgia within 28 hours. When Bo picks up hitchhiker Carrie (Sally Field), he attracts the attention of Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason). Angry that Carrie will not marry his son, Justice embarks on a high-speed chase after Bandit.

With this latest episode, dem good ole boys at VHS Rewind are proud to start their Spring 2022 Burt-a-thon, dedicated to the films of (wait for it) the legend, Burt Reynolds! Burt-a-thon begins with one of Burt’s very best, 1978’s HOOPER. Boasting a superb Burt ‘stache, an OK hairpiece and the Flying Nun at her sexiest, plus more stunts than an entire season of THE FALL GUY, a supporting cast that includes Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane and one of the catchiest theme songs in all of Burt’s films, join VHS Rewind as they review one Burt’s most infectiously entertaining flicks. To paraphrase that theme song: There aint nothin like the life of a movie review postcaster.
