Footage from Simon, King of the Witches (1971)
Content warning: "potatoe"
From the Box:
In the great tradition of American political humor, this comedy tape takes a lighter look at America's favorite Vice President, Dan Quayle.
A selection of America's brightest young comics tell sophisticated, light-hearted jokes about the wholesome fraternity boy who stands just a basketball dribble away from the greatest responsibility in the world.
Hosted by: Phyllis Hamlin. Phyllis is one of today's hottest rising comics, who characterizes herself as "a smart brunette trapped in a dumb blonde's body." She has hosted the Movietime Channel and Evening Magazine. In addition, she has had roles in "Sonny Spoon," "Remington Steele," "Falcon Crest," "JJ Starbuck," and "The Colbys," and appears in the motion picture "Heart Condition" co-starring Bob Hoskins.

Recorded 27 October 1977
We found this tape in a heap of random VHS tapes at a flea market in Sandford, Florida. It was marked with the label "Judys Poety".
Didi's poems are great, but Judy (actually spelled Jude, we learned from research) is thoroughly electric in this performance.
This tape was in rough condition, as you'll see from the neverending waterfall of glitches. But this only adds to the hypnotic tenor of Jude's fiery delivery.

23:23 - The women snap out of character, and where there stood two intense and focused valkyries of verse, there now stand two vulnerable, shy, and giggling young women. The transition is jarring.

Likely recorded in St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery in New York City. See more from Public Access Poetry at @publicaccesspoetry4017 or http://poetryproject.org

HE WILL GET THIS MAN NO MATTER WHAT THE COST!
Parris Bally wants a way out of the hardcore life of bounty hunting and there's only one thing he can do - go for the last big score.
A tough-as-nails former soldier, Bally wanted a thrill-a-minute lifestyle, but with a wife threatening to leave, he needs to find a way to get out. His only choice is to hunt one of the most wanted killers in the country, and he chooses a terrorist known only as The Nightmare. The Nightmare has a million-dollar bounty on his head, and Bally, with steely determination, wants it no matter what. Even if it means going on a suicide mission.
With two loaded nine millimeters and a pair of handcuffs, Bally will stop at nothing to put an end to The Nightmare and bring him in Dead or Alive!

An article referencing three books on the ethics of appropriation of found footage (pertaining to Paul's Costa Rica Vacation):
framescinemajournal.com/article/reuse-misuse-abuse-the-ethics-of-audiovisual-appropriation-in-the-digital-era
We considered this issue, and believe our use was ethical because:
- Anonymity was preserved (no last name used)
- No intimate content is used
- Tape was not surreptitiously procured
- The commentary is fair, and not mean-spirited (no denigrating or endangered gaze)
- The age of the footage (early 1990s at the latest) and the apparent age of Paul indicate it's exceedingly unlikely the subject is still alive
- This channel has a relatively small audience, so wide notoriety is not expected
AEROBIC EXERCISES: 1:10
SOLO COMBINATIONS: 41:53
SELF-DEFENSE TECHNIQUES: 49:12
From the box:
DefenseRobics™ is the fun and funky way to combine fat-burning aerobic training and proven self-defense moves into one exciting workout. By training regularly with DefenseRobics™, these simple but proven techniques become an automatic reflex, just like driving a car. And because DefenseRobics™ utilizes Pressure Point Control Techniques, as used by law enforcement, it requires only .5 to 2.5 pounds of pressure to be effective! So get two benefits in one fun workout!
The DefenseRobics workout is choreographed and taught by 1991-92 Reebok National Aerobic Championship Silver Medalist, Jordana Vella. Jordana brings the same enthusiasm and expertise that made her a member of the STEP Reebok Demonstration Team to the DefenseRobics™ workout. After a challenging 40-minute high-impact routine with Jordana, Tara, and Gina (or follow Teresa and Rita for the low-impact), you move into the muscle-toning body isolation movements for 6 more minutes.
Next comes Rita Bali, a criminal justice specialist who owns a rape prevention training program, and Joe Tucker, a social worker who holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Together they show you how to use DefenseRobics™ combinations in real-life self-defense situations. They also demonstrate proper technique, the vulnerable points of the body, and shares valuable safety tips and other empowering information.
DefenseRobics™, the two-in-one training program, giving you the strength, endurance, and confidence that makes you feel healthy - feel safe!!

From the VHS box description:
William Shatner explores the fascinating reaches of the human mind through the world of hypnosis.
Under hypnosis, people undergo major surgery without drugs, recall living past lives in startling detail, and perform dangerous tasks without incidence or injury.
How is this possible? How strong is the power of suggestion? Can a subject be totally controlled through hypnosis? Why did thousands of people commit horrible crimes for Hitler, or kill themselves with Jim Jones? Just how far can someone be made to go?
These and other fascinating questions are explored in this enlightening and entertaining program.
