United States19 days ago - Finally, someone made a movie about podcasts
If you love movies and you miss browsing the shelves of your local video store, then this is the podcast for you.

If you want an episode to start with, might I suggest the Mates Rates episode in which the word “minions” becomes the funni... more
Apple Podcasts5M.E.R.United Statesa month ago - Great movie podcast

Love the podcasts concept of a video store as I remember spending hours of my teenage years perusing the aisle searching for something that suited my mood.
My videos would be:
New Release - Life of Chuck
Weeklies - Rear window & Bambi

Thank goodness for Alexi ! I've been bingeing this pod after finding it a week ago. Not since walking down the stairs of Civic Video in Newtown have i had access to such a wonderful range of movies. Streaming promised to give us the world of cinema but just barricaded it behind individual toll gates. Whats your suggestion for me Alexi? My new release is Kneecap (it had me at "Bobby Sandals") and my weekly choices are Salo (i think i saw this at The Hub cinema in the early-mid 90s before it went... more
Apple Podcasts5Montgomery L RothschildAustralia2 months ago - Are you guys still doing 10 weekly’s for $10?
I know you saw me drop this one while I was trying to put it in the drive by returns slot, but the plastic case was already cracked like that when I got it.
If you guys just going to throw out that Terminator 2 cardboard stand can I just have it?
I’ll just take a few weekly’s:
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights
- Waterworld
- The Addams Family (1991)
And a new release:
- The Surfer (2024).
I’ll also take one of those stale bags of caramel popcorn.
Do you have any recommendations for me?
