This week, let's take a little detour from the more overtly techy (and cynical) ends of Archivedom back towards more friendly, nostalgic and content-driven territory. Listen to crazy ol' Uncle Benny discuss these newfangled DVD things.

My first DVD was the first x-men movie. The DVD came with my Christmas present a DVD player. It was a cheap player that survived two years. Wish I would have known about that Spinal Tap Criterion. My most prized Blu ray is the Criterion The Third Man, now going for hundreds of dollars. Yes I got it from Netflix. Great episode Ben.

I have a plain Criterion DVD of The Third Man, no idea if it's the same print/etc. as the later Blu-Ray--bought it when the old neighborhood Blockbuster went under in the mid/late 2000's.

It is different, and I have that one as well. The DVD I wore out and it is now retired. Got into the Third Man from a library VHS. It will be coming out on 4K but it depends on if it beats the Criterion Blu ray. Yes I have the Blues Brothers 2000, and having watched it last year, it is a slog.

Hard agree with The Wall being scarier than most horror movies. I got a VHS copy for x-mas 2000 at the height of my high school (sophomore year) Pink Floyd phase. I watched it that night and was semi-traumatized. I never again listened to Pink Floyd the same and didn't re-watch that tape for a decade-plus.

Being such a big fan of the original Blues Brothers movie, *and* a fan of John Goodman, I had to watch Blues Brothers 2000, and did so a couple of years ago. I agree with your thoughts on the film, though I did like their rendition of “Ghost Riders in the Sky”.
