V H US, Dirk Marshall

Each episode of 'V H US' features host Dirk Marshall having an in-depth talk with various guests about that week's cult film and what it is like to have the profession portrayed (sometimes very loosely) in the film.

Dirk Marshall was raised in a mom and pop video store in a small town. Growing up amongst the illustrious backdrop of VHS Box art, he learned about the world from the works of William Friedkin, Frank Henenlotter, and Penelope Spheeris. Now on VH US he sits down with people who's profession is portrayed in a film to talk about what it is like to have that profession and about the film he has assigned them.

    The Revengening (aka Action Draft 2) with Seanbaby, Robert Brockway, & Zak Koonce

    That's right! A sequel to our Action Auction Draft episode. You know we had to do it. The second we wrapped the first episode, we knew we needed to record a follow up. Does it go as planned? Absolutely not! It goes better than planned. We add a villain draft so we know what our action teams are up against. Do the action dollars matter? How about you stop asking questions! The only problem is that this may be the only podcast format any of us want to do anymore. So enjoy the death of everyone's c

    Season 25- Episode 1: STEPPENWOLF ( feat. Mike White )

    We are back! Welcome to season 25 of V H US. We are kicking it off in style with Mike White (the host of The Projection Booth Podcast!) We discuss some of the beginnings of Mike's many projects before diving into Adilkhan Yerzhanov's STEPPENWOLF (2025.) A film that dares ask the question "What if there was no good to be found in the world?!?" That's right, things get bleak on this episode but you might not notice because it was just so much fun talking movies with Mike White. Enjoy!

So instead, we each bring 10 and probably talk about 15 more. We cover a lot so hopefully this massive episode will tide you over while we are on break. See you

That is right, it is time to continue our exploration of H.P Lovecraft movies. If it is based on or inspired by H.P. then we will watch it and discuss it (for better or worse.) We also play what could only be described as the grossest game yet (although our first episode in this series was also an all timer!) Want to share your thoughts? Call or text 503-395-8

    He-Man and She Ra: The Secret Of The Sword (Featuring Shawn Robare & JL Watkins)

    That's right! We are going back to the 80's animation toy box with a long overdue (I mean, is it?) revisit to the animated film that re-united two siblings amidst the various horrors of an insane universe. It's He-Man and She Ra: The Secret Of The Sword! What is the secret? Possibly LSD. But seriously folks, this is a great episode due to the guests. Shawn Robare is a wonderful human with a vast knowledge of many things and I love to showcase some aspects of his greatness whenever possible. JL i
