To all the people hating on Rons voice Thats his REAL voice. Damn man, they played an ad before the ad that was the same ad. Damn, that shit was wild. So was the combat that just a boo boo guy. too real. Vhyes oscilloscope. It looks sooo good. Spoiler alert: The wave dies at the end. Wow, I didn't think this was going to get released. By definition, sketch comedy is short-form. Sketches tend to be a few minutes long, featuring self-contained stories and characters; they’re meant to be brief, never pushing a joke past the point where it’s still funny. So sketches generally haven’t fared well when they’re transformed into feature films. Clunky sketch-derived movies like A Night at the Roxbury, Coneheads, and Superstar just prove the point; what was funny for four or five minutes feels like flogging a dead horse at feature length. Jack Henry Robbins’ VHYES beats the system by approaching the idea of a sketch movie from the opposite direction. Instead of trying to stretch out one sketch to feature length, Robbins packs his film full of sketches that seem unrelated, until they coalesce into a single story. Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim has thrived on weird sketch comedy, with programs like Robot Chicken and Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! VHYES initially feels like an extended episode of a similar series. Young Ralph (Mason McNulty) has a new video camera, and he’s used it to tape over his parents’ wedding VHS. The film is meant to be the result: a mixture of footage from the wedding, Ralph’s recordings of life around the house, and various programs taped off TV. The new Bob Ross. Image: Oscilloscope Each TV-show bit parodies a familiar bit of TV lore, from Bob Ross’ painting tutorials to Antiques Roadshow. But they all come with twists: the painter in the tutorial show includes a segment meant to help viewers sleep, in which she simply stares into the camera, waiting for the audience to nod off. The shopping-channel hosts begin shilling for objects they claim are for regular use around the house, but are clearly drug paraphernalia. The bits and pieces are perfectly strange, and they feature some of the best comedians currently working. Kerri Kenney ( Reno! 911) plays the Bob Ross-esque figure, Thomas Lennon (also of Reno! 911) plays one of the shopping-channel hosts, and Mark Proksch (the What We Do in the Shadows series, Better Call Saul) plays the appraiser. They all nail the transition from standard TV programming to increasingly discomfiting chaos. As the clips alternate with footage from Ralph’s life, hanging out with his mother (Christian Drerup) or his best friend Josh (Rahm Braslaw), it gradually becomes clear that everything is connected. VHYES is a story about a child reckoning with his parents’ divorce. The formerly neat, gentle world of late-night TV starts to blur and become cruel as Ralph realizes that his parents’ marriage is falling apart. The sketches break down as clips of the seemingly idyllic wedding still flash across the screen, emphasizing a sense of rudderlessness, as well as how confusing and inconceivable the impending break-up feels. Courtney Pauroso and Tom Lennon as channel hosts. The slow reveal of exactly what’s happening is masterful. The bite-sized bits of late-night programming create the illusion that VHYES is a collection of discrete parts rather than a whole; it feels an experimental film, and the revelation that the film is telling a more straightforward story isn’t a disappointment as much as it is a sort of twist. What makes VHYES even more remarkable is the fact that it’s actually entirely shot on VHS. The movie is in the nearly square VHS 4:3 aspect ratio, and it’s slightly grainy, accompanied by occasional lines of visual static. Nostalgia has hit it big in series like Stranger Things and the It movie franchise, but the commitment to VHS means VHYES actually feels like it was made in the era it’s depicting. (It’s almost jarring to see the director’s parents, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, crop up in cameo appearances, as they’re the only overt clues that the movie wasn’t actually made in the 1980s. ) Jack Henry Robbins, who co-wrote the film with Nunzio Randazzo, eventually takes the absurdity threaded throughout the film to an almost David Lynchian level, a gambit that works largely because of the sketch-y nature of the movie, and how brief it is at just 72 minutes. The strangeness of the material isn’t VHYES’ primary attraction; it’s the atypical mode of storytelling and sense of sincerity. Given that the story isn’t exactly linear ? the audience pieces it together through multiple shows and stories ? the amount of Ralph’s story that can explicitly be told is lessened. So Robbins focuses on conveying emotions through the footage that’s been cut together, creating an arc that’s tangible rather than literally told. He’s figured out how to make a successful sketch movie, and he’s tapped into nostalgia better than any of the Steven Spielberg or Stephen King would-bes mining the same vein. VHYES debuts in theaters Jan. 17.
I remember when the wave waa just a dance damn how time has changed. Ur t'd rn but kilt this vid matty????. Youre a political prisoner Harry. This looks amazing. I don't understand why people are nitpicking. Can we just embrace for a second that Prince shirt that guy is wearing? XD. Vhyes showtimes. You guys in other country are lucky that they released tapes in clamshells over there like that. They defiantly help the tapes hold up over the years.
I hope we will see Time Robbins return for future adventures. Vhyes alamo drafthouse.

2020, NR, 72 min. Directed by Jack Henry Robbins. Starring Mason McNulty, Rahm Braslaw, Lindsley Allen, Kerri Kenney, Thomas Lennon, Mark Proksch, Courtney Pauroso, Charlyne Yi, John Gemberling, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon. REVIEWED By Marc Savlov, Fri., Jan. 17, 2020 You never forget your first time. Holding a VHS camcorder, I mean. Although I never owned one of those bulky Sony S-VHS monsters with that oversized red record button so proto-reminiscent of Ren and Stimpy ’s infamous candy-colored “history eraser button, ” I absolutely recall my first Hi8 and, long prior to that, my dad’s old Kodak Super-8mm film camera which once discovered was immediately deployed to stop-motion animate my own Jurassically clumsy tributes to my favorite filmmaker of my youth, the late, great Ray Harryhausen. (I mourn the fact that my 30-second epics of Brontosaur on T. Rex action, complete with crimson gore provided by the 1970s kidhood modeling clay of choice, Caran d’Ache, were forever lost somewhere on the way to adulthood. ) Director Robbins’ enticingly unique VHYes is many things: a Dada-esque assemblage of mid-Eighties era pop culture, a series of often laugh-out-loud bizarro blackout sketches modeled mostly on the television fare of the time, a moderately melancholy love letter to the unexpectedly giddy power of home VHS recorders when placed in the hands of a 12-year-old, and a thoughtful riff on the addictive nature of the ever-voyeuristic camera eye. Mostly though, it’s about the meandering adventures of Ralph (McNulty), who receives the camera as a Christmas gift from his father (an unrecognizable Tim Robbins, the Jack Henry's father) and mother (Allen). Along with his best friend Josh (Braslaw), Ralph takes to taping snippets of everything on 1987 television, from late-night soft-core Skinemax parodies, to a Bob Ross-inspired "The Joy of Painting” with Joan (Kenney in wonderfully full-on disturbathon mode), and an Antiques Roadshow doppelgänger featuring What We Do in the Shadows energy vampire Proksch. In between there’s cut-and-paste scenes of the two besties blowing up cherry bombs, investigating the local haunted house, and just generally behaving like any free range 12-year-old given a license to film. The beauty of VHYes is that Robbins made the genius aesthetic decision to film the entire thing using actual VHS and Betamax cameras. Given Ralph’s pre-teen attention span, few of the television and commercial parodies overstay their welcome. There’s an inspired talk show bit that mirrors the sequence in David Cronenberg’s Videodrome in which Deborah Harry, James Woods, and “Brian O’Blivion” discuss the ominous future of the rapidly changing televisual landscape. Also scattered throughout Ralph’s tape ? which portentously just happens to be his parents' wedding ceremony VHS he snagged on accident ? are random moments of his mom and dad and the seemingly downwardly spiraling state of their marriage. This overlays something of a shadow over VHYes ’ otherwise chaotic and scattershot in-camera anti-editing. Kudos to child actors McNulty and Braslaw, who give pitch perfect performances as birds of a feather exploring a sometimes hilarious albeit potentially grave new world via the magic of VHS. To quote Videodrome ’s aforementioned telepresence O’Blivion, “The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena … Whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Television is reality, and reality is less than television. ” And that is, by the end of the 72-minute-long VHYes ’ gleefully immersive, intermittently profound “found footage, ” a lesson Ralph osmotically absorbs through the VHS viewfinder of his life.
