You'd think someone interested in the art of filmmaking or film history or the evolution of a director or even an actor might have been interviewed. But no, it's just an endless parade of man-child dolts (and one woman or two) blathering on about how they've turned their houses into mini-Blockbusters filled floor-to-ceiling with gory D-grade horror movies. I'm a collector, too, and am appalled at the black eye this "documentary" gives us. Really, if any of these guys ever got off their duffs (or had the intelligence),they should have been proctologists since they relish cinematic excrement so highly.

Plot summary
Popular YouTubers, filmmakers and collectors lift the curtain on their manic media collecting obsession that is not only a huge part of their lives, but the lifeblood of their existence. This new collector's documentary goes where no documentary has gone before as we enter a world of Horror hoarders, VHS hoarders, Vinyl addicts and Laserdisc obsessives. Enter the realm where DVDs and Blu-Rays are king and money is no object, when a new release hits it's a must buy. Physical Media truly lives on in this fascinating documentary from the creators of VHS Lives, VHS Nasty and Oh. the Horror. Brought to you by Tony Newton the creator and producer of VHS Lives and 60 Seconds to Die series.

Creepy people hording horrible movies
What a disappointment...
I was disappointingly mistaken about watching this; as a movie collector myself I thought that I'd be seeing some interesting ideas and opinions on the subject. All I got was about a dozen schlemiels all saying the same things ad nauseam about being able to own their movies (meaning, of course, owning COPIES of the movies; the movies themselves are owned by the companies or corporations who produced them) and being able actually to hold these movies in their hands. If you watch the first 10 + 15 minutes of this drivel, you've watched the whole two hours of it.
No in-depth discussions about any of the movies themselves, though - and all of them seemed only to be interested in horror, zombies, schlock stuff. Don't waste your time.
Nostalgia is the point
Many interesting collectors are keeping these visual memories alive. As a minimal collector myself I can appreciate this content.
I have been collecting older game consoles, Laserdisc players CED Videodisc, VHS and in the future Beta. Having a Plex sever to share with my family and friends via VHS movies from 1982 with trailers and scenes after the ending to the Plex server has been a conversation piece bringing people closer through nostalgia.
From vintage and retro media formats to physical games, the infrastructure translates across countries, genders, cultures.
Those who create and share this piece of history, thank you.
