Seattle friends, if you cancelled your Disney+ subscriptions, use this as a great opportunity to support @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social - they are awesome!

By the bye, if you're looking for streaming alternatives, I'm happy to endorse @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social's rent-by-mail program. I've been using it for a few months now and it's great. Prompt shipping, friendly staff if you need to extend a return date and, most importantly, an incredible library.

Obayashi Nobuhiko's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is playing next Tuesday at the @nwfilmforum.bsky.social, free for members of the @grandillusioncinema.org or @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social. Art house solidarity! grandillusioncinema.org/film/the-gir...

SIFF & @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social present the 3rd annual Scarecrowber. 🖤 This year’s lineup features 5 films (plus a secret six-six-sixth!) from 5 countries, featuring 5 (or more) formerly-deceased protagonists stalking—and sometimes staking—the living! A series to end all horrific series-es!

Now seems like a good time to remind Seattle friends that @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social exists, is a non-profit, and it’s the best (and largest) video rental store in the US!

And now for…the new episode: youtu.be/A9tzdlFh6H0?...

Before episode 110 drops tomorrow--how about watching episode 109?? @vivaphysicalmedia.bsky.social putting out episodes so quick we can't catch up. This one features THE WARRIORS, QUICK CHANGE, THE HUNT ('12), and MY DOG, THE THIEF. Viva! youtu.be/0Gcki_XgC-8?...

The Force Five Halloween Special 🎃 is in planning mode. Which horror sub-categories would you love to see represented this year? Some of last years categories with Matt & Emalie from @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social were: Horror Anthology Killer Kid Religious Horror Something Conjured

Excited to say that the shelf i curated for @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social, "The Triforce Shirt And Khakis Collection", is now up in their collection! Go rent some memories and feel some kind of way about the person you were before. I yoinked these pictures from their Instagram but I'll see it soon!

What cinematic hero is going to step up and fill this hole in our Video Games section?

boxd.it/eRUF Some hard-to-find horror movies made possible by mail rentals from @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social. #LastFourWatched

we rented DROID (1988) from @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social and oh my god what a fucking FILM #vhs

Uh oh, shit is getting real

@scarecrowvideo.bsky.social is so damn cool and I gotta start going there more 💜💜💜

God bless you, video store

There's something strangely comforting about renting a VHS in 2025...i feel like i should be wearing JNCO's, drenched in Drakkar & prepping for Y2K @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #PhysicalMedia #Tattoo #VHS

AI has chosen violence.

In one of the most bizarre experiences of my recent life, I encountered this strange video on the shelf at @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social today, and it led me down a rabbit hole that still has my brain reeling.

I'd like to thank the wonderful staff at @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social for recommending 1987's "the Hidden." This shit fucking rules! #movienight #psycotropic #greatestcarchasesever

I would like to shamelessly plug @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social here. They even have an old school mail rental option. Like the old Netflix, only better because I know I’m not supporting billionaire fascists 🥰

Cheers! In ep 103 Emalie revisits Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END. Matt asks you to unsee BC and talks about Walter Hill's great HICKEY AND BOGGS, and we all celebrate 4th of July (late) with an iconic ode to a classic tale (tail?), THE POOCH AND THE PAUPER from 2000. Viva! youtu.be/yTS8xO3KGK8?...

Microsoft has ended digital sales of movies — and previous purchases are not transferable or refundable. "Select" titles can be accessed via Movies Anywhere. For the rest, digital "owners" have to hope that Microsoft won't decommission its Movies & TV app. www.pcworld.com/article/2853... #FilmSky

Tuesday at NWFF: FREE screening of Fernando Arrabal’s tour-de-force VIVA LA MUERTE for members of @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social, Grand Illusion, & @nwfilmforum.bsky.social. $10 for non-members after all members have been seated. A belated tribute to @vivaphysicalmedia.bsky.social hitting ep. 100!

In case you are still using Amazon or any of their services like kindle, Audible, ring, etc. here’s yet another reason to boycott them and support local independent businesses instead. I have rediscovered my love of used books @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social is also a great place to support for media.

We want to thank you for all the support, @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social just hit 2k subscribers!! Cheers to the next hundo episodes and the next zillion followers. Have your unborn child watch, buy our new hats, compliment @colonelmortimer.bsky.social's glasses! Here's 102! youtu.be/3BBrbXZFe2w?...

It's a whole new century for Viva!

Celebrating the birthday of the great Shelley Duvall by watching her FAERIE TALE THEATRE production of RUMPELSTILTSKIN.

Happy 4th of July, everyone! We're celebrating with some post-apocalyptic fare. Currently watching CITY LIMITS.

Don’t forget! Tomorrow! Buy tickets at thebeacon.film/calendar/mov...

Now playing the 1947 short "Don't Be A Sucker", something half the country apparently forgot to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAq...

Please wish Viva a happy 100th episode! Subscribe, like, and watch! 📼 📀

Harry Birthday to the great Gary Busey. Playing SILVER BULLET whose Uncle Red is the blueprint and Homeric ideal of the 'cool uncle' archetype, warts and all. He is the ur-Uncle from whence all uncles are wrought.

Happy Birthday to Mel Brooks, who is 99 years old today. 99. He is older than sound in film.

See five experimental LGBTQIA+ shorts in partnership with @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social this Tuesday at NW Film Forum, 7pm. Free for members ($10 for everyone else). Films by Barbara Hammer, Matthias Müller, Michael Robinson, Will Hindle, and Jerome Hiler.

We love you all, happy hundo! Episode is gonna be an instant classic.

Good news, friends! Heaven is real. It's called @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social and it still exists.
