Plot summary
Once written off as a dead format, the video cassette still has a following, and the collectors make the case themselves. They sit down to talk about the video shops they visited, the cassettes they rented and the VCR players that sat in their homes. Discussion covers cult tapes and the distributors behind them, and the memories that attach to particular releases. The format's boom years and its later slump, and the reasons the tapes are still kept, run through the interviews.
