2025 is here and VHSANDCHILL OKC is resurrecting one of our classic screening series from days past - VHS GRINDHOUSE is back!
VHS GRINDHOUSE is a series of classic films that may or may not be the greatest films ever made! This VHS delights are pulled straight from the VHSANDCHILL OKC collection. Movies that DESERVE their day in court for the crimes committed TO them or BY them! These films will scream from the heavens the madness that is their message!
Five teen friends (Giovanni Ribisi, Amie Carey, Steve Zahn, Nicky Katt, Dina Spybey) spend their time hanging out behind a convenience store in a sleepy Texas town. Through pointless discussions, the group descends into a self-perpetuating cycle of malaise. Their routine, however, brakes when Pony (Jayce Bartok) returns to town after finding success as a rock star, forcing the group to question their desire to stay in the suburbs doing nothing with their lives.
Continuing our year long series of screening films that were released in the far-flung past year of 1996, this is a film I watched in high-school and I REALLY dug it. I think you guys will too! This film feels like a lost film from a big time director. From director Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused, Boyhood), this movie seems like nobody really talks about it anymore and I think that's a shame. This film was based on a play and filmed mostly in Austin, TX. It's known for it's killer 90's soundtrack with songs from Sonic Youth, Beck, The Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers and more. We'll have a fun giveaway too!
'Anything is possible. It is night on planet earth and I'm alive. And someday I'll be dead. Someday I'll just be bones in a box, but right now, I'm not." - Jeff
