The Last Dragon

“Who’s the master?” Before superhero movies ruled the box office, The Last Dragon delivered a wildly original blend of martial arts, music video, comedy, romance, and pure 1980's energy. In this episode of The VHS Apocalypse, we revisit Berry Gordy’s 1985 cult classic and follow Bruce Leroy Green, a Harlem martial artist on a quest to achieve the mystical "glow." Along the way, he faces the evil Sho’nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, a villain so unforgettable that he helped turn The Last Dragon into one of the most beloved cult movies of the 1980s. But beneath the neon colors, kung fu showdowns, and unforgettable soundtrack, The Last Dragon is also a story about confidence, discipline, identity, and learning to stop chasing someone else's idea of greatness. Is this a flawed oddity, a misunderstood masterpiece, or the ultimate 80s martial arts fantasy?

Krull

Before The Lord of the Rings films and Game of Thrones ruled the fantasy landscape, Krull arrived with a lethal glaive, a doomed prince, a terrifying Beast, and one of the strangest fantasy worlds ever committed to film. In this episode of The VHS Apocalypse, we revisit Peter Yates’ ambitious 1983 sci-fi fantasy adventure starring Ken Marshall, Lysette Anthony, Freddie Jones, and Francesca Annis. Prince Colwyn must cross a dangerous alien world, assemble a band of unlikely allies, and storm the Beast’s shifting Black Fortress to rescue his kidnapped bride, Princess Lyssa. Part sword-and-sorcery epic, part space opera, and part dark fairy tale, Krull is a fascinating relic of the early-’80s fantasy boom. It may not have become the blockbuster classic its creators hoped for, but its wild mythology, surreal visuals, memorable creatures, and unmistakable VHS-era atmosphere make it impossible to forget.

The Exorcist III

What if The Exorcist III is actually the best movie in The Exorcist series? In this deep dive, I’m making the case for William Peter Blatty’s criminally underrated sequel. The Exorcist (1973) remains the most culturally impactful film in the franchise, a landmark of horror that changed cinema forever. But when it comes to pure entertainment, atmosphere, mystery, and performances, The Exorcist III is the series’ strongest entry. This video explores why Blatty’s film works so well, from its haunting detective-story structure and unsettling sense of dread to its surprisingly sharp dialogue and unforgettable visual style. I’ll also take a closer look at the phenomenal performances from George C. Scott and Brad Dourif, whose work gives the movie much of its power and personality

My Story

Brian Voller is still figuring out what he wants to be when he grows up.

He tried the U.S. Army. That was fun. Sometimes. He tried being an unmanned aircraft pilot. Also fun, but earning pilot ratings is super expensive. He currently pays the bills by teaching grown adults how to be better grown adults. Now he's trying his hand at being t

Brian Voller is still figuring out what he wants to be when he grows up.

Truth be told, he was probably born in the wrong century. Possibly the wrong universe. He should be in a smoke-filled tavern. Sitting on a stool next to a roaring fire with an ale by his side. Spinning tales to an enraptured audience while freezing rain pounds the roof and thunder and lightning war outside. Hoping to earn enough coin to travel to the next tavern, where a new audience can gather for a night of grand adventure.

He writes for the love of storytelling. He's not trying to change the world. He knows life is hard. So, he writes to create worlds for people to escape into. Worlds of stunning magic, wicked monsters, and valiant heroics.
