7:53:48 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.
This episode is part of a sub-project within Tape Land called “Video Phase 2022”. I recently began transferring a ton of old video tapes to digital, and have been posting selections to YouTube. Here, I’ll be releasing the audio tracks of these videos, as well as linking you to the YouTube videos, and The Internet Archive.
The Compleat Polarized Worlds (Summer 1985)
“Polarized Worlds” is a Doctor Who fan film made by a group of teens in Bridgewater Township, NJ, in the summer of 1985. Thought lost, director Frank Edward Nora found a Beta copy of the original over 36 years later, and released it online in December 2021.
“The Compleat Polarized Worlds”, at nearly eight hours long, is the entire contents of the two VHS tapes they used to film the movie. It includes numerous takes and bloopers of all the scenes, the cast and crew goofing around, “behind the scenes” interviews, a number of conceptual videos inspired by art films, and other miscellaneous stuff. It’s a fascinating real look into the world of Generation X teenagers in the mid-1980s.
The audio of most of this was released as “Video Kids 85” on The Onsug between 2007 and 2009. But this is the first time the video version has been released.
