PLANET HEX?
Hi, I'm Andrew Hawnt. I'm an author, comic book writer, filmmaker, dad and pop culture nerd from the UK. During my days as a DJ I was dubbed 'Mister Hex' and the nickname stuck. So this is my world. This is Planet Hex.
I was with Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine here in the UK for 9 years and I miss talking about music, so I present a rock show now too.

With out watching... YES and I am that FUTURE of 3,500+ titles and 25 functional VCRS, while everyone else keeps on paying that monthy streaming fee, content and happy to own nothing. I am living in physical reality and absorbing all the trash that will never be reprinted. A Disaster Capitalist Dream. 10 years from now and the rate of inflation, nothing going to cost a quarter or a dollar for that matter. VHS is a patience game, just like what happened with retro video games. TRUE Blockbuster Rental Plastic cases worth money without the tape! AWESOME VIDEO, I will be around fellow Retro Tech'r!
Do you not like DVD? How old are you? I got my first VHS VCR for my 12th birthday. But couldn't wait to get a DVD player for my 17th birthday.
While i collect quite a few different things VHS isn't really one of them. With that being said I still have 3 VCR's that have been serviced within the last 3 and have kept approx 100 tapes mostly made up of horror and car chase films that never got a DVD release. With that being said I absolutely can see VHS becoming legitimately collectible. Much like vinyl (which I collect along with CD) being the first mainstream home format i know there a massive amount of media that has never been released in any other format. That alone I assume and hope will create a true collector's market.
Great subject mate and wise words!
Thank you buddy! Looking forward to seeing you again later this month 🤘
Personally I am ONLY interested in mass market movies that I had when I was a kid. Don't care about horror or getting movies graded. Instead of watching new woke tv shows and movies I will happily play the Matrix on VHS in the background for the 4th time this week.
Interesting. Would love a revival of DVDS as people are broke paying for all the streaming services. VHS were great back in the day as I learned to look after mine.
Streaming services are ridiculous now. Such a huge amount of money to pay out to see a handful of things that are decent.
@@AndrewHawnt I know, right? I held on to my extensive collection as I just had a feeling that streaming wouldn't be all it was cracked up to be. Plus we now have the PC/ Woke culture to contend. I guess having everything in one place really WAS too good to be true.
But it's my retirement fund 😭
Judging by the extent of your collection I doubt you'll have any trouble! 😊
36 bids
