Watched 'VHS Massacre Too' last night on Tubi.
The documentary takes a look
at the post-video store era adventure that starts at the last Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon and ends with Lloyd Kaufman and Troma Entertainment's B movie HQ in New York City.
VHS Massacre Too was highly entertaining but also kind of sad knowing the glory days of video stores and independent production companies are all but dead. Big studios like WBs, Universal, Paramount made sure of that. But the Queen B Disney is the worse.
The documentary also takes a look at the rise of streaming and collapse of video stores. When video stores went away so did the source of income for independent studios because streaming companies just don't pay the independent companies not enough to survive that is.
Most of your major streaming companies will flat out reject many independent low budget films all together. BTW you gotta love Lloyd Kaufman he really tells it like it is!
Anyways definitely check out VHS Massacre Too - 10 out of 10 Severed Thumbs 👍 @spookysteph
