V H US, Dirk Marshall

Each episode of 'V H US' features host Dirk Marshall having an in-depth talk with various guests about that week's cult film and what it is like to have the profession portrayed (sometimes very loosely) in the film.

Dirk Marshall was raised in a mom and pop video store in a small town. Growing up amongst the illustrious backdrop of VHS Box art, he learned about the world from the works of William Friedkin, Frank Henenlotter, and Penelope Spheeris. Now on VH US he sits down with people who's profession is portrayed in a film to talk about what it is like to have that profession and about the film he has assigned them.

    MUSCLE (Feat. Dakota Nook & Christopher Velasco of Two In The Pinku Podcast)

    For this special episode we have not one but two incredible guests! Dakota Noot and Christopher Velasco are hosts of the Two In The Pinku Podcast.

    He-Man and She Ra: The Secret Of The Sword (Featuring Shawn Robare & JL Watkins)

    That's right! We are going back to the 80's animation toy box with a long overdue (I mean, is it?) revisit to the animated film that re-united two siblings amidst the various horrors of an insane universe. It's He-Man and She Ra: The Secret Of The Sword! What is the secret? Possibly LSD. But seriously folks, this is a great episode due to the guests. Shawn Robare is a wonderful human with a vast knowledge of many things and I love to showcase some aspects of his greatness whenever possible. JL i
