The Lost Art of Home Media

- Let me take you back to the old days. The better days. When a person could buy a DVD or Blu-Ray and know for a fact they would be treated to an array of dope menus, special features, and the highest quality copy of their movie. In our modern age, the effort put into physical media has dwindled along with its sales. Join me as we look back at the halcyon days of physical media and make a case for why it matters more than ever. (Apologies for the out of focus shots)

This makes me think of the marketing for the Oppenheimer DVD-how Nolan wants people to buy it over having it just be on a streaming service.
You deserve more views, man! Keep up the good work.
Thank you! It is much appreciated
Nolan would be disappointed if you settled for the DVD. DVD should be a last resort if a Blu Ray or 4K Blu Ray is available. Streaming can’t even keep up with either Blu ;)
Physical media gives you power over your content in best possible way
Their was also fun in finding the hidden extra’s in a lot of DVD’s
Yay! Skip streaming COLLECT physical media. We're growing our Disney classic collection
I found myself the past 10 years buying more movies in physical form then I have video games. There's not a ton of video games that I play where I feel the need to replay them 10 times. There are however a lot of movies that I love the hell out of, so I bought them outright to put on a shelf.
But also because I don't trust Netflix my absolute favorite TV series of all time, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, I bought on DVD because I don't trust Netflix or warner media to keep it around on streaming.
I started doing this 20 years ago, and am currently drowning in a library I used to keep organized but has since become unmanageable. lol
Buy your movies from thrift/charity shops...helping a worthy cause and getting a great price on movies...i bought the OT Star Wars on dvd in a silver box (i have the gold one) for £2....all 3 movies and bonus disc
This is me with movies and CD's, can't trust that they'll always be available, stuff is being stricken from streaming all the time. Beatles weren't even on Spotify until like two years ago.
*CDs. No apostrophe.

I currently have over 4,000 DVD/BRs, from sci-fi, war, westerns, samurai, noir, silents, anime, documentaries.... just about anything. I have always advocated for physical media, as it can't be altered and has to physically be taken from you. The bonus is, you can find great deals at second hand shops, as woke Hollywood's Achilles heel is their massive back catalogue of genuinely good films that sold second hand earn them jack squat.
I have hundreds (not thousands) of DVDs and Blu-Rays. I scored most of mine for just a couple of dollars (Australian), when video libraries closed down. It's very hard to find second hand movies here now, though. Most charity shops don't sell them.
There's also only one main physical shop I know that sells movies. There are one or two independent shops, but they're hard to find.
I allways belive in collecting dvd and blurays film once you got you can allways go back and watch them and enjoy dvds are cheap to pick up now in chairtey shops so thats why i enjoy films 😅😅😅😅😅
German movie director, Uwe Boll, said he (and others in the film industry) make very little income from streaming services, because those services pay the studio to allow them to stream their movies. The people who actually made the movies don't make much at all. The way I understand it (and I could be incorrect) is essentially streaming services pay to lease films from studios, then subscribers to those streaming services pay the streaming companies to hire those movies.
Conversely, if people buy physical media, the directors, writers etc. make a lot more money from each copy sold. The same for movies shown in cinemas.
Great video! I love blu-rays and 4K blu-rays. I wish we had an option to just buy new shows when they release. I much rather buy the disc of The Boys, Invincible, Mandalorian, ...
Unfortunately most do not exist or come out way later and / or overpriced. I do hope we will see a change soon!
i agree. mike flanagan has put out some of my favorites series and only two of them had physical releases.. sad
PIRATE EVERYTHING PIRATE EVERYTHING PIRATE EVERYTHING PIRATE EVERYTHING PIRATE EVERYTHING PIRATE EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, it's so disappointing to get a new blu-ray or 4K and the menu is just bare bones with just a background and sometimes not even music playing T_T. I got Terminator on blu-ray recently from Amazon and it doesn't even have a main menu. Justs automatically plays the movie over and over.
Awesome video and a very under-subscribed channel, great work dude!
Thank you!
If you're looking for special features yeah there's Criterion but there is bunch more like Arrow Video, Second Sight, Powerhouse/Indicator, 101 films/88 films, Vinegar Syndrome, BFI, Shout Factory/Scream factory, Severin, Radiance, Kino Lorber, Shameless, Curzon, Eureka!... and the list goes on. I mainly buy new blu rays (not new movies necessary but non used stuff) and I'd say that 80% of the stuff I buy have a shit ton of special features. It's actually refreshing to buy blu rays that only have the movie in it because they are so freaking chep, like 4 for 20€ 😅
Great video dude. I also could never work out the math behind every studio dropping everything for streaming. Like it literally didn't make any sense mathematically. You broke it down pretty well, but I will always scratch my head wondering wtf they were all thinking. Instead of making 50mil-1billion on a movie at the box office (plus all those other avenues, most are kinda dead by now) they would throw a movie into a gaping pit of content for a streaming service and it's like at best that movie can draw someone to the service I guess or keep them subscribed another month but HOW is that anywhere near the benefit and profits it could have gotten otherwise? Multiply that by 100 originals or whatever made just for that service and it's like ok cool you gained 5 million subscribers and spent 5 billion dollars ( numbers directly from my ass) I would rather take 100 box office revenues plus the little extras you covered. So silly man and they all fell for it. The rich and in power are fucking creative-less sheep at best.
Yeah I'm a big fan of physical movies. To make it more easily watched I just have a DVD to mp4 converter yeah it can lower the quality but I just have a 4tb hard drive plugged into my TV and can watch all of them whenever but have the hardware for backups
