Escape The Tapes: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Thomas Massey & Brittany Vaughn
Escape The Tapes is your new favorite rewind button! Join best friends Thomas Massey & Brittany Vaughn as they dive headfirst into the dusty, glorious, and occasionally ridiculous world of old films, forgotten VHS gems, scratched-up DVDs, and vintage media madness. Each episode, they crack open a relic from their past and attempt to escape its cinematic clutches. Fair warning: things might get a little off topic, mildly unhinged, and dangerously nostalgic. From cult classics to “how did this get made?” disasters, no tape (or disc) is safe. Pop some popcorn, press play, and embrace the chaos with Escape The Tapes.
