Welcome to Raised by VHS – the podcast that rewinds to the glory days of late fees, staff picks, and the movies that molded us. From dusty action flicks to cult comedies and everything in between, we revisit the VHS tapes that raised us—one rental at a time. Hosted by Coby and Cam, two lifelong friends raised on a steady diet of 80s and 90s movies, this podcast dives into one film per episode with a mix of nostalgia, trivia, behind-the-scenes chaos, and ridiculous side segments. We’re not critics—we’re just two dudes who never returned the tape.
