A film set in an almost mystical world where small town murders end up as VHS releases to keep the serial killers own video store in business!

We talk to Fonz Tramontano & Calida J - Synthwave Pop Duo. Emerging from Hard Rock backgrounds on the Midlands live music scene it was soon evident that a mutual love of all things 1980s would result in a rewarding creative relationship and surge of epic songs with no sign of slowing down. We chat all about their new EP CD-R80s and the films and songs which inspired it, along with favourite movies of the past and thoughts on bringing epic retro sounding anthems into the modern digital streaming age.

We talk to Phil Soussan - Bassist, Songwriter & Producer. It would have been hard to predict the musical journey that Phil Soussan would take from being born and raised in London to being thrust into the Hard Rock spotlight of the 1980s, relocating to the USA as part of the Ozzy Osbourne band and being responsible for the huge hit single 'Shot In The Dark'. Phil has walked steadily and thoughtfully throughout his career making choices that felt right and continue to this day as bassist for Last In Line and a continual flow of production and performance roles.

We talk to Kevin Martin - Video Store Owner. It's unlikely that after owning his own Video & DVD Store, The Lobby DVD Shop, for the past two decades Kevin Martin would ever think he'd become the star of a movie showing at film festivals all over the world but that's just what has happened with the release of The Last Video Store! It's a film which captures the incredible nostalgia of visiting our favourite Video Shops growing up mixed with action, horror and a whole slab of fun. Kev takes us on the journey it took to create this new film along with his own stories and memories of growing up with the excitement of picking a new film each week from the Video Shop shelves.

We talk to Laurence R. Harvey - Actor & Voice Over Artist. Whilst most of the world first laid eyes on Laurence in his role of Martin Lomax in the notorious and perhaps even more stomach churning 2011 sequel to The Human Centipede, the well versed performer had long been treading the boards of TV and Theatre before claiming his spot in Horror's hallowed iconic hall of fame. Laurence takes us on his journey through moving from the north of England to London, landing an endless array of roles right through to his current work as a much in demand voice actor on classic horror stories of days gone by. A true British Horror Legend we can be proud of.

We talk to Reeve Stimpson - Singer Songwriter. Whilst many people try, few capture the vibe, energy and magic of the 80s in a genuine way. There are many bands and artists flying the flag of arguably the greatest pop culture decade of all time but few seem to do it as well as Reeve Stimpson has proved with his recent singles. We chat about the influences which have surrounded him from an early age that have contributed to his career along with the effect of films and their defining characters which continue to shape him into the artist he is today.
