Very cool. Also appreciate that I’m not being constantly bombarded with ads while watching this video.
physical media rental stores didnt disappear, they got replaced by buy-and-sell stores. all the same blu-ray nuts and boomer dvd users just buy them and trade them back in and the business doesn’t have to deal with the hassle of trusting people to return stuff.
I got a kick out of how Matt briefly mentioned that his great-grandpa happens to be legendary French filmmaker Jean Renoir. His great-great grandpa is also the iconic painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
i still watch my VHS
they may be able to only stream the edited version of The Santa Clause but i only watch the version that says “1 eight hundred soank me”
I stream movies/shows etc aswell, however i never stopped collecting and buying physical media when most people strictly switched to streaming platforms. I buy Blu-ray DVD’s new – used when i can .
Your store is sooooo nice !
Very cool! Film studios would love if we all bought or rented physical media as their is more money for them!
