In the late 70's and early 80's my dad would take me to watch ANYTHING at the local Unit Four cinema.... from Battle Beyond The Stars to the Nicholas Hammond Spider Man films. I have vivid memories of them all.

I might have to check this place out over the summer. I was talking to someone the other day, just a few years my junior, who was lamenting about the heyday of Blockbuster videostores. I had to stop him right there. As someone who had their childhood in the 80s (ages 2 to 12) and early teens in the 90s I had to explain to him that as far as I was concerned Blockbuster (and Choices) were the enemy. It was them that caused all the smaller, proper video shops (or Clubs...as you absolutely had to become a member) to have to shut up shop. My town used to have so many video shops that as the corporate 'stores' started to emerge, just faded away. In the end there I was desperately seeking out the last video shop standing and rented from there - by now it was mostly DVDs - until they had to close, too. So, when Blockbuster had to then start to shut up stores due the rise of the streaming giants, I was a little saddened, but a small part of me felt revenge had been served. But, as you said in the video, it was a unique time - the 80s and 90s - and that thrill of entering a video shop and perusing all the VHS art again and again before making your choice will neve happen again. Instead it has been replaced by the more isolated and often soul-sucking experience of scrolling through titles on a screen. I, for one, subscribe to Cinema Paradiso, and watch a lot of films using their DVD rental service. It's no substitute for a walk to my local video shop - Century Video - to have a chat with the owners and possibly collect some posters, but it's my last battle to keep physical media alive for a bit longer at least.

Oliver, your memories of video shops are exactly the same as mine. The bloke who owned ours used to give me the old posters as I spent so much time in there plus he would always allow me to rent 15 and 18 cert films when I was only about 11 or 12.

Stanley Kubrick banned A Clockwork Orange in Great Britain due to copycat murders and it took about 30 years to be broadcast on television in the UK. The Evil Dead was part of the video nasty thing, I think in the US parents were upset over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too, I mean they have a sort of a thing with ratings. I saw films quite young too A few horror films like The Ring the remake, Dog Soldiers, An American Werewolf In London and Ginger Snaps I think maybe the Ring was a 12 or 15, Dog Soldiers 15 and the other 2 18 though An American Werewolf In London’s rating has changed throughout the years. I saw all on home media meaning VHS and DVD. The Terminator 18, Shallow Grave was an 18 apparently I saw in my teens and at the same time Trainspotting again home media. The Departed was an 18 but some of the Martin Scorsese films would be considered those too I saw them young though The Departed I saw in cinemas overseas at the time so different ratings. Others saw on home media as well. Arachnophobia I saw as a kid on TV but I’m sure that was a PG. Lastly Alien and Aliens home media too but I guess they were 18 too, The Exorcist I was going to turn 18 so yeah….. I did want to see Ginger Snaps rather than An American Werewolf In Paris ugh, that was an 18 too but there was hesitation on me seeing Ginger Snaps so I had to watch the other well the rest is history. The Ginger Snaps follow up films yeah I was still not 18 then. First Saw and Final Destination sorry I forgot those 18 as with the sequels but I stopped after Final Destination 3 and Saw 2. My favourite film difficult one but I would choose The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King I guess.

Really my film fandom was mainly because I have very little money as a child and teen and I went to an independent video hire that had new releases £3 a night year old £2.50 then most 5 years old £1.50 and an entire section of 50p a night all the Andy Sidaris and Roger Corman and lots of Spaghetti Westerns and Horrors so Quantity over quality, then my local library had lots of Art house £2 a week stuff like Hal Harvey and Werner Hertzog, and BBC 1 and 2 having Hammer horrors on Friday nights and Movie Drome with Alex Cox, along with Channel 4 film seasons like Godzilla or Asian Horrors like Mr Vampire. I was also lucky that my local ITV network TVS would show lots of really good movies at night stuff like the Michael Caine Season was when I first watch Death Trap and The Hand. It's really why I love Amazon prime so much as it's takes me back to the trash I used to have in my backpack cycling to and from the Pegasus Video Hire.

One of the reasons I am subscribed to both of the channels is due to the positivity and, frankly, reverence that you both have regarding the subject matter. There is never enough of that in the larger KZbin movie discourse, so you lads please carry on.
