Just a side note that Prueher and Pickett do a free weekly show online called VCR Party Live, which is made up of clips from various vhs tapes as well as interviews with people from commercials, promotional materials, and clips they have featured. They do it every Tuesday at 9 pm, and it is hilarious.

I really liked how they got The Yes Men on board with the documentary. They elevated the “social commentary meets lampooning tv producers who don’t look too hard at guests” to an art form.
