People abandoning Spotify (never used it) due to their connections with investing in military technology. Cue lots of people wondering where to get their music fix instead. Support. Physical. Media. Pay the artists.

The latest episode of FIVE FILMS is up on the Snips YouTube channel, and this week it's the turn of Shaun Ponsonby to present a quintet of eclectic picks. Five Films. It's like the Criterion Closet, but with cooler people! youtu.be/jOh_JOsnpnE?...

I've just bought 45 films made by the Children's Film Foundation. Excessive, but satisfying, and deeply wholesome!

Every video store needs a Nico Mastorakis section. Right?!?

Just got offered the most ridiculous audio commentary that I'll ever be offered in my life. So far out of our wheelhouse, it's almost in the next county. Still, we'll spend the weekend considering it, then come Monday we'll decline!

Laserdiscs? What IS going on at your local movie rental establishment? All the latest from Snips is now up on YouTube, in this weeks Inside The Video Store. youtu.be/bq3Ix6lLyEE

Late night double feature… thanks to @snipsmovies.bsky.social I am officially Kaiju’d out!

ESSENTIAL listening. Edgar Wright joins Brian and Elric to chat Stephen King movies. Some great picks here in a really concise and entertaining episode.

Thanks to the awesome Dave Wain from @snipsmovies.bsky.social for rocking the Straight To Video Logo Shirt in his Inside The Video Store YouTube series. Dave always shares great insights on new releases and the amazing archive of movies at Snips. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rd_...

Enjoy! Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh! As one would say...

It's the biggest week of the year for new movie deliveries at Snips, so join me in sifting through the stacks of Blu-rays and UHDs! Inside The Video Store! youtu.be/jD0TRCIKXek

So thrilled to have recorded our 35th audio commentary tonight, on a film that both Matty and I consider to be the first five star masterpiece that we've ever had the privilege of adding our voices too. Coming soon from 88 Films! On to 36...

I happily share this every week. Might win some fabulous-looking blus by sharing it this week.

Thanks so much!!

New Inside The Video Store is up on YouTube! On this weeks episode there's three bundles of Blu-ray's up for grabs courtesy of 88 Films! youtu.be/1rd_Uy8iVsE

I know I ordered THREE EXTREMES but I didn't realise it came with extreme packaging as well. Nice one Evri

One of the best video stores in my area? Well, that's fine praise indeed against such stiff competition.

As is tradition, I spent four hours in my local HMV, Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign copies of this for mine and @snipsmovies.bsky.social’s legions of adoring fans. As is also tradition, said legions didn’t show up!

Five Films from Snips Movies is a bit like the Criterion Closet... but with cooler people! Meet the latest batch of my customers who have stepped in front of the camera, and welcome Dylan Cubbin and Dan Draper. youtu.be/UsaeAzkD0aQ?...

4th quarter madness is in full swing for this weeks Inside The Video Store, as I sift through a leaning tower of boutique Blu-ray releases from Arrow, 88, Criterion, Radiance, and many more... AND they're all available to rent at your local movie emporium: youtu.be/83KaSdse3uM

Some very cool finds here!

It's never great when you don't like a movie directed by an icon (and regular Schlock Pit reader) like Ted Nicolaou, but I like to think our criticism is always impeccably researched and professionally delivered. Here's Matty giving REMOTE (1993) a tough time. theschlockpit.com/2025/10/15/r...

On the other Sergio tonight. Thank the Gods for @snipsmovies.bsky.social

'Revive the days of the vidoe [sic] store' Groan... Another boutique label springs up in the UK. More video store nostalgia (no comment!). Weird one this though. Minimal social media presence. Can a start-up survive without that? Pre-ordered two of their releases anyway. See what rocks up...

Season two, episode two of FIVE FILMS is now up on YouTube! It's like the Criterion Closet... but with cooler people! This week, it's Lani Driver! youtu.be/d4bIFCqPTGk?...

“The final countdown has begun.” PROJECT SHADOWCHASER: BEYOND THE EDGE OF DARKNESS (1995) (aka ‘Project Shadowchaser 3000’, ’Project Shadowchaser III’) | Dir. John Eyres | Starring: Frank Zagarino

It's a question I get asked every day. After all, many of my customers were too young for first gen movie rental stores. The answer is remarkably simple.

For those intrigued by Terror Vision’s recent Blu-ray announcement, @snipsmovies.bsky.social gave BLOOD SYMBOL (1992) a pretty thorough going over a few years ago at The Schlock Pit: 🔗 theschlockpit.com/2021/09/27/b...

Video Store! Inside The... Latest episode! youtu.be/RRsbvjVz3WM

New on The Schlock Pit today is Matty's in-depth look at Wes Craven's SUMMER OF FEAR (1978). theschlockpit.com/2025/10/06/s...

It's FIVE FILMS! Season Two. Episode One. Nathan Smith. It's like the Criterion Closet, but with regular people! youtu.be/LSRju5_le9Q?...

Nice haul!!

My latest is now up at The Schlock Pit, and it's a look at a wholesome Royal Oaks kiddies flick... theschlockpit.com/2025/10/02/m...

Made it to EIGHTY episodes and people are STILL watching! Masochists! In the latest episode of Inside The Video Store, there's a look at the latest VS announcements, some cool donations, a holy grail VHS, and all the usual shenanigans... youtu.be/u4js_NK8Ux4

Recti by Mes Whal !! The EIGHTIETH episode of Inside The Video Store is locked, loaded, and heading your way this coming Friday! If you subscribed, you wouldn't need me to tell you this ;) youtube.com/@snipsmovies...

Our 34th audio commentary has been leaked, and it's for an early Full Moon classic that was directed by the guv'nor himself... yes, it's Charles Band's CRASH AND BURN (1990). Out from 88 Films this coming December!

It's Friday, so here's the latest episode of Inside The Video Store. It's a loooooooong one too! 80 minutes! A stack of goodies have dropped this week, including discs from Vinegar Syndrome, Saturn's Core, TerrorVision, Warner Archive, Film Masters and MORE! Let me show you... youtu.be/L-vyPx8yLZA

How lush is that artwork?

New one from me on The Schlock Pit tonight! Another PM Entertainment movie - THE SWEEPER (1996). theschlockpit.com/2025/09/24/t...

When you publish an unfiltered biography about a filmmaking icon, you can never be sure how their family is going to react. Therefore is was a real thrill that Sean Graver posted this video yesterday regarding the book we wrote about his Dad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CMy...

Finally completed the only Poe cycle worth talking about... HOUSE OF USHER (2008) arrived today. Outrageous fee. Worth it though.

It's Friday so here's your latest shot of Inside the Video Store, direct from Snips Movies - one of the last remaining rental shops in the UK... It's a boutique bonanza week, and there's also a stack of new VHS, and an orgy of Danny Dyer movies. Don't ask... youtu.be/rF1pbpoA5VE

More on the way!

You remember that film about a moose with Timothy Dalton? Of course you don't. That's why you read The Schlock Pit. My latest: theschlockpit.com/2025/09/15/s...

❤️

Finally got to watch Alex Cox’s strange, slightly suurreal,satirical western thanks to @snipsmovies.bsky.social And it was pretty damned fine…

Superb!!! In the bog!!

It's Friday at 5:00pm, so with stunning predictability here's the latest episode of Inside The Video Store! This week there's a look at Severin's new Danza Macabra set, as well as more VHS, and some invisible parents... Join me for this orgy of physical media appreciation! youtu.be/7KJm0cfcujs
