Genuine pleasure to meet you both, thank you for a fantastic evening of fun and hilarity.
Great to meet you dude!
i wish i could have attended. i truly enjoy the collaboration of these two, which i came upon being a huge fan of rob hill - who i believe is the most underrated creator in this genre. great questions from interviewer, most importantly. good show gents
This was a great night. Thank you for all your hard work and great great output! It was a pleasure to meet you both!!
What a fantastic night! Great retro shop/museum, and a very interesting Q&A
Captain Power in the intro was a nice surprise. One of my favorite shows as a kid, lost to time.
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 RUclips movie discourse, so you lads please carry on.
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 Instead it has been replaced by the more isolated and often soul-sucking experience of scrolling through titles on a screen.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.
Absolutely love you 2 guys. Really enjoying the collaborations.
I live near this place, I’ve always wanted to visit. It looks like heaven on earth!
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.
Both you guys have my favourite RUclips channels, I have even more respect for the videos now knowing how much effort goes into them
Love the Thunderdome opener
The exaggerated angry reviewer is now outdated and unliked.
We need more reviewers like Oliver Harper.
Wow, this takes me back.
Thanks for uploading this!!! A lot of people wanted to go, who just couldn't... ;(
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.
OOoh! It's the guy who I met TWICE, and the guy who did that brilliant video on Indiana Jones knockoffs.
Lovely chat chaps.
my fav is the retrospectives i think ive watched all of them over lockdown and everything after but this video is interesting also be cool to see more videoshops like this
Now you’ve mentioned Carry On Camping I expect a full retrospective of the whole series in chronological order along with commentaries by anyone who worked on them still among the living.
I’ll make an exception for Carry On Emmanuel.
That one is just . . . grubby
Was that the cineworld in Nottingham, by anychance? (its referenced on the wikipedia page for the film , or all things!)
The bottom "goldfinger" reference 😂😂😂
Ah someone got it!
Cineworld in Cambridge had to be sold it’s now owned by the light chain of cinemas because they where not allowed to own a picturehouse and Cineworld in the same city . That’s great u worked there must have watched hundreds of films you was a projectionist on
Considering that blockbuster reportedly coming back, maybe this place gonna see upswing recently! Anything can happen considering the world we're living nowdays.
Blockbuster aren't coming back but I am building a replica Blockbuster Video Store in my garage here in Melbourne Victoria
@@TheKrazyKajeevieShow. Search up;"blockbuster is back".
Omicron pictures reference for first ten minutes? You don't waste time commandable trait(given nostalgia critic and his ilk)! Right everybody?
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.
Oh and the perfect Movie is High Plains Drifter or Return of the Pink Panther
If you are doing barbarian movies, please look into the hats of Red Sonya. There are so many. So elaborate. I think it is the real plot. The quest to upgrade the hats of the main characters.
Please look at The Omen franchise.
One movie that has everything? Probably Lifeforce😀
Well said man! That totally slipped my mind.
@@OliverHarperHad to go back and watch the retrospective again. Wonderful work. Don’t think I’ve ever been so entertained by a movie. It’s glorious.
Rob Hill is the English version of H Jon Benjamin.
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.
I wanted to go but had family commitments. Daddy day care and I'm not even Eddie Murphy.
And yet, on his departure from the BBFC, James Ferman said that hardcore pornography should be legalized.
