- Great movie podcast
Only just discovered this podcast after one of Alexeis TV appearances. He is so passionate, knowledgeable & funny about films. Great range of guests & I am now binging all the episodes. 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

Australia20 days ago - New customer needs a reccomendation
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 RothschildAustraliaa month 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?

Apple Podcasts5M.LukeAustralia4 months ago - My favourite podcast
As a former customer of Mondo Movies Annandale this is my favourite podcast ever, Alexei is truly a genius when it comes to film. Every week my watchlist grows and my mind expands, absolutely love this pod! (Also loved refused classification!)
My rental store combo :
Challengers, Paddington 2 and Dinner rush.
Apple Podcasts5Euan.sAustralia5 months ago - If This Is The Last Video Store It’s The Only Store The Universe Needs.
Oh boy! What an absolute cinematic audio delight! I’m a big fan of Alexi’s comedy style, I love film and often lament the video stores of times gone by, making this podcast is the perfect situational venn diagram for my listening happiness. This is a really great and accessible film podcast for young and old. My only criticism is at myself for not starting this podcast earlier. I’ve got a fair bit of back catalogue listening to do.
