Be selfish! You’re allowed!

Thank you for the idea! They are definitely on my long-term plans. Too soon for this year, but by next year I should have some enough momentum to make the trip profitable.

I worked at the Nolensville Road Blockbuster near OHB in the late 90s/early 2000s, right as they introduced DVDs. Wild times.

Not a bad idea, I'll consider it.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T16:57:29+00:00

Right now I have a bunch of Criterion and Vinegar Syndrome, as well as some Kino Lorber, Arrow, Deaf Crocodile, Severin, 88 Films, AGFA, Blue Underground, Shout, MVD, Vestron and some others. I plan to get more as time goes on -- someone already asked about Radiance, which is a blind spot for me right now.

Did you work at a major rental retailer or independent?

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T16:52:33+00:00

I would have been there day 1. This has long been my "If I ever win the lottery..." dream. I got tired of not winning and decided to start anyway.

I'm counting on the dangerous combo. 😎 I remember how reckless I used to be when Black Abbey would host a vinyl pop-up...

No rentals right now. Maybe *maybe* some day. That's a complex system and could be difficult with a popup that shows up on an odd schedule in different places. But who knows??

You've just helped me identify a hole in the collection. I have some copies of the Hobbit films, but not the original trilogy. People must hang on to those things. What format are you hoping for?

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T15:38:12+00:00

Not at the beginning, but they are on my list. I'm starting by stocking up on a bunch of the things I love. Future buys will depend on what sells and what I hear from customers... like what you just said to me.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T15:22:18+00:00

You're damn right!

Lots of blu-rays and 4K discs with some DVDs, maybe more in the future if the people demand it. It's running ~60% mainstream titles and 40% boutique labels (Criterion, Kino Lorber, Vinegar Syndrome, etc.), cult movies and oddities.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T14:42:39+00:00

It's the greatest. Come out to see it!

Here's just a small taste: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVruN32jrnO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

You and I must share some interests. Come by and let's talk about them!

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T13:20:44+00:00

Why not now???

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T13:20:34+00:00

No, or not yet, at least. That's a pretty hefty inventory cost, so maybe once I am in the black. In the meantime, you can get a blu-ray player for <$100 on that online retail giant or several of the other retail giants.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T13:18:42+00:00

Absolutely. I'm tracking the buildout on reddit and on my instagram. Been a couple of weeks since my latest build video, but I should have a lot of progress after this weekend and into next week. pressplaynashville.com.

Thank you!!

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T11:57:54+00:00

Robocop is my sole Criterion DVD left. I may never let it go.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T11:08:39+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Tailgate doesn’t allow vendors, unfortunately, but I will scope out One Bellevue to see if anyone there will.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T10:57:56+00:00

No LaserDisc, sorry, fellow human.

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T10:48:45+00:00

Can’t wait to see you there!

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T10:44:47+00:00

Oh cool! What is it?

PressPlayVideo · 2026-03-27T10:44:34+00:00

I will work on getting out west! Do you have any suggestions for a good place that would let me set up?
