Escape The Tapes

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.

I'm Going to Steal the Declaration of Independence Day (Patriotic Picks)

July 04, 2025 • Thomas Massey & Brittany Vaughn

This week, we're serving a double dose of patriotic chaos with two American classics- Independence Day (ID4) , and National Treasure. We're talking Jeff Goldblum's fine scientist self, the wrong Mr. Bean™️, and what patriotism means in our studio. Grab a sparkler and a Capri-Sun -- this episode has explosions, is chaotic, and is potentially monitored by the FBI.
