Episode 19
Friday, 20 June, 2025
This episode is a deep dive into the enduring value of Blu-rays and DVDs—what they preserve, what they offer and why they still matter.I explore how the simple act of owning a movie creates a more meaningful connection to the story. From the thrill of the hunt to the joy of liner notes, bonus discs, and director’s commentary, there’s something sacred in the tangible experience of film.As studios consolidate and content vanishes with little warning, physical media isn’t just about nostalgia -- it’s about preservation, access, and control. Whether you're a longtime collector or just Blu-ray curious, this is a conversation about keeping cinema real, visible, and in your hands.Vidiots Foundation - Become a member, donate, get involved:A one-of-a-kind hub for film lovers, filmmakers, and everyone curious about cinema, Vidiots is dedicated to inspiring human interaction around film through communal theatrical presentations and preserving, growing, and providing access to its diverse DVD, BluRay, and rare VHS collection, showcasing the work of emerging, master, and underrepresented artists, and producing unique and affordable film events, and vital education programs.https://vidiotsfoundation.org/The Smith SocietyHost: Duane Hansen FernandezThe Smith Society theme song: Steady CadenceThe Smith Society logo: Designer, Chris ScottEdited by: Ian ReneFollow your dreams, no matter where they take you.See Privacy Policy at art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info
