That was an interesting aggregator article of all the current thinking around the home video scene (including the Blockbuster stuff and that French Connection controversy on streaming channels), although just as weird for puncturing into our weirdly insular physical media bubble as the DVD Beaver call out that has just gone on is this article namechecking and interviewing Jesse Nelson and DiabolikDVD! Although from a personal standpoint I would take a bit of an issue with Nelson talking about business having taken off due to the pandemic as March 2020 was the point at which the last order I did with them got cancelled, then there was that rather brusque notice put up on the home page for around a year or so telling international customers not to use the site, and since then despite the e-mail drops having started up again in the last year or so, I haven't dared to import using DVD Diabolik since! That may be illustrating how overwhelmed Nelson was once the pandemic hit and he started getting far more customers than he could handle, but as one of his 'weirdo cult title enthusiasts', I was pretty much ejected from using his company at that point.
Also related to physical media, there was another article released on the Guardian the same day about
Scorsese donating his archive of VHS tapes to the University of Colorado, which was a really interesting read.
