Last week we explored the outer space, but this week we turn to Innerspace for an entirely different kind of entertainment experience. I haven't seen this film since about the seventh or eighth grade and there are people who tell me it doesn't hold up over the years. Who ...cares? says I, we don't choose which tapes to screen based on the quality of the story, only the quality of the physical tape itself. If when played the picture's got that crisp clean VHS "look" and if the audio is of the superb nature we've come to expect from VHS, then we are good to go. As it happens, this week we are watching a virgin tape, on it's maiden voyage into a VCR. I know this because I just unwrapped it from the factory shrink wrap. Truth be told, I put it in the VCR for about twenty seconds to make sure the tracking was correct, but I think it's safe to say its innocence is still intact, like just sticking in the tip.
Innerspace is about a guy who gets injected into another guy (talk about losing your innocence) and then has to figure out how to get himself out of that guy. It stars such giants of the VHS age as Martin Short, Dennis Quaid, and Meg Ryan.
