Join us for a nostalgia-packed episode of Fave Five From Fans as we welcome special guest Spenser Martens from The Retro Recess! This week, we're diving into the gloriously garish world of VHS box art - those eye-catching, sometimes bizarre, and often misleading covers that defined the video store era.

Spenser brings his encyclopedic knowledge of 80s and 90s pop culture as we share our favorite VHS covers from horror flicks with monsters that never actually appeared in the film, action movies with explosions that dominated 90% of the artwork, and those delightfully painted fantasy covers that promised so much more than the low-budget features inside.

Listen as we discuss the lost art of VHS cover design, debate whether the artwork was sometimes better than the movie itself, and reminisce about making rental decisions based solely on which box looked coolest on the shelf. From holographic covers to clamshell cases, we're examining the visual language that defined a generation of home entertainment.

Whether you spent your weekends browsing the aisles of Blockbuster or your local mom-and-pop video store, this episode will transport you back to a time when picking a movie meant judging a book by its cover - literally!
