    Apr 19 2026

    HEY BEASTMASTER'S ON! Today is SUCH a special episode since we are debuting our very first VHS Sisters guest ( famous drummer/artist and fantasy enthusiast Ryan D'Angelo) to discuss the 1980s cable classic, The Beastmaster! We really spiral out on this one, covering many broad-ranging topics such as animal acting, the Bronze Age, psychic surgery, gratuitous nudity, bodybuilding, sexual consent, and the importance of soup and workplace safety.

  • Episode 33: Dragonslayer (1981)
    Apr 12 2026

    Do you like DRAGONS? Do you like DUNGEONS? Do you like violence (Yeah! Yeah!), girls in boy drag, puppets, pyro, and close-up egg magic? Well, we are here to remind you that this early 80s GEM of a film exists...Dragonslayer! This is a REAL unhinged episode where Saysha tries really hard to nerd out about Industrial Light and Magic and 80s dark fantasy, but Melanie mostly just wants to talk about hot guys and bodily fluids again. Sounds intriguing? Give us a listen today (definitely a NSFW episode, so be warned, O Listeners!)

  • Episode 32-The Last Unicorn (1982)
    Apr 5 2026

    Happy Spring, O Loyal Listeners! It's April, and we are absolutely feeling our Spring Fantasy, so all the movies we discuss this month will be 80s FANTASY CLASSICS. We are starting off with one of THE most traumatic films of the decade (at least for Saysha), The Last Unicorn from 1982! We are SO back to viewing movies that Melanie has never seen, so gallop back into the past with us as we discuss unicorn ennui, animal cruelty, the incompetence of Men, being really bad at your job, middle age regret, femme fantasy character supremacy, settling for a guy just because he is *there*, and the inescapable knowledge that you are in a rotting mortal body! Yayyyyyy!!!

  • Episode 30-Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985)
    Mar 22 2026

    PAGING MR HERMAN! Today, in attempts to repair the giant rift that was torn between them upon the watching of The Secret of NIMH, Saysha has resorted to a tried and true family classic that has proven to heal the deepest of wounds between siblings-Pee Wee's Big Adventure! In this episode of Melanie's Memories, we have a great time reminiscing about one of our most beloved family films and bounce between a lot of interesting topics, including visual maximalism, travel, bikes, bikers, hobos, chimps, sketch comedy, and the joy of creative freedom! We promise you will smile during this episode at least ONCE! WE PROMISE!!!

  • Episode 29: The Secret of NIMH (1982)
    Mar 15 2026

    Buckle up for some good old-fashioned 80's childhood trauma nostalgia and prepare yourself for a VHS Sister milestone, because this is the first episode where we actually get in a FIGHT over a movie. Today, we are discussing the 1982 Don Bluth classic: The Secret of NIMH! This is one of Saysha's most treasured movie memories, and Melanie absolutely hated it, so instead of deep-diving into the film, we talk about OTHER movies, fan fiction, Rule 34, animal cruelty, rats, robots, and why men shouldn't be allowed to do comedy! We also play Smash or Pass for about 5 minutes! If you love this movie, prepare to be UPSET!!!

    Mar 8 2026

    Listeners, it's another fresh weekly episode of VHS Sisters, and we are continuing down the Yellow Brick Road of Melanie's Memories in March and yapping at GREAT length about one of our childhood trauma watches: Return to Oz from 1985! This absolute fever dream of a movie really upset both of us on this latest rewatch, and we got to unpack our many feelings about steampunk, queerness, drag queen drama, mental health, medical trauma, child abuse, good puppets, bad puppets, and ASMR. Come listen to us both realize how this movie is basically Rambo for dark fantasy girlies!

    Mar 1 2026

    AHHHHHHHHH BLIX!!!! In March, we have a FRESH new theme for you called Melanie's Memories! Meaning, we'll be rewatching some of the old family favorites that we feel need a deep dive, VHS Sister style. Today, we start with a 1980's dark fantasy classic that shaped us, both physically and emotionally: Legend from 1985! We get FULLY feral in this episode and yap at length about fantasy worldbuilding, twinks, simping, Tom Cruise with no pants, Tim Curry with big horns, synthesizers, and demon dick size. I know for a fact our mother does not listen to this podcast, and now I feel truly grateful about that!!!
