Ep 96: Tim Robbins and a bizarre VHS flick at Austin’s weirdest film fest

Filmmakers and fans from across the globe will converge at the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar on Sept. 19 for Fantastic Fest, the world’s largest genre film festival. One of those movies is VHYes, directed and co-written by Jack Henry Robbins. His father, Academy Award winning actor Tim Robbins, produced and acted in the retro comedy shot entirely on VHS and Betamax. Tim chatted with Statesman multimedia producer Alyssa Vidales about VHYes, how home recording culture has evolved and what it was like to collaborate with his son.
