Great show. My 51yr old wife and I at 58yrs are keen collectors, our preference is DVD’s, High Def is not for us. We don’t stream on principle we prefer to own.
We purchase thru JB Hi-Fi an Australian discount retail chain that aims to carry 10,000 titles across all categories. I pick up my European movies here, distributors like Palace and Madman.
Umbrella Entertainment is a local Melbourne operation offering a good range of Ozploitation.
But the most fun is going away on road trips around the state and hitting thrift stores rescuing old gems for a $1. We clean & repackage them back to new. It’s a great hobby and a fun way to travel the state. Total unique DVD’s is 10,000+.
Great episode. I love physical DVDs, especially when I can take the classical performances issued on them to get artists’ autographs. I will never forget those encounters. I am however still looking for a way to sell the one signed by Valery Giegiev and donate the proceeds to charities supporting Ukraine.
Thanks for doing an episode on this topic. The limitations of streaming drive me crazy. Lately, I've been wanting to rewatch Robert Altman's Short Cuts. It's nowhere to be found to stream, rent, or buy....wtf. For years, I can't understand why in the age of Trump that no streamer will allow "Bob Roberts" to air even though it's the perfect reflection of our current times. As a history teacher I amassed a big DVD collection of movies & documentaries, but playing them has become very difficult; streaming is very unreliable. My laptop in the class has no audio jack to connect to the receiver, so when the bluetooth signal gets interrupted, I have to restart the computer to get the audio to work. Guess I'm dating myself but I like old school technology.
Glad to see the young people buying the dvds...

Oh yeah, Umbrella is great.
