@snipsmovies.bsky.socialThanks to Jack Lyons for popping over for a chat last week. He's written a great article for The Globe.
Huge respect also to two of my customers - Matt's Humphris and Cooke - who were kind enough to answer some of his questions.

Let's find out, on this weeks Inside The Video Store!
@snipsmovies.bsky.socialIt's Friday, so here are all the latest incomings at Snips Movies, on this weeks Inside The Video Store:
@snipsmovies.bsky.socialGreat article by Megan Traynor just went up on the Let's Make Films Journal...
@snipsmovies.bsky.socialOoh! You might get away with it!

@snipsmovies.bsky.socialReally is. Played it last night too.
@snipsmovies.bsky.socialQuality night in Manchester with Todd Rundgren, who at 78 still hasn't lost any of his power to captivate and dazzle. A true music maverick.
@mattybudrewicz.bsky.socialReposted by @snipsmovies.bsky.socialMan vs. Monster! ARENA (1989) photo dump!
@mattybudrewicz.bsky.socialReposted by @snipsmovies.bsky.socialNew Schlock Pit post! 🚨
And it’s me bellowing about how much I love vintage Van Damme biff-‘em-up DEATH WARRANT (1990).
@snipsmovies.bsky.socialOne of the great things about working at Snips is the opportunity to meet so many talented people. Jonathan asked me recently if he could design a prop for the store, and in a Ray Stantz-esque level of unpreparedness, I just blurted out... "EVIL BONG!" Absolutely blown away by this.
@snipsmovies.bsky.socialThere's an absence of new movies on Inside The Video Store this week, so to pad out the already excessive running time, I took a little walk around the store...

@tpmamagazine.bsky.socialReposted by @snipsmovies.bsky.socialRetail locations in three continents and four countries—the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia—carry The Physical Media Advocate, so if you happen to be near a store that does, pick up your copy in person to get the full old school physical media experience.
