Buuuuuddy!
This week on The VHS Club, we're heading back to 1992 to revisit Encino Man, the movie that introduced many of us to Brendan Fraser's lovable cave man, gave Pauly Shore one of his most iconic roles, and somehow convinced an entire generation that thawing out a frozen prehistoric human was a totally reasonable high school science project.
We'll talk about Brendan Fraser's star-making performance, Pauly Shore at the peak of his powers, Sean Astin before Middle-earth, and why this weird little comedy has remained a beloved VHS-era favorite for more than 30 years.
Plus:
๐ฅ Fun behind-the-scenes trivia
๐ง The surprising origins of the movie
๐ผ Why Brendan Fraser almost wasn't cast
๐ฌ The legacy of Pauly Shore's biggest hit
๐ซ Peak early-90s high school movie energy
โก Our favorite moments, quotes, and memories
So grab a Big Gulp, throw on your flannel, and join us as we ask the important question:
Does Encino Man still wheeze the ju-uice?
