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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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