Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast!

Following on from our previous show about the current state of home video and Blu-ray collecting, we look back at how things were when we were growing up. Remember being excited to rent a video from your local rental shop? Or waiting a year before a movie would even show up on VHS after its theatrical run? We do!

  • We cover some of the recent low-key YouTube drama surrounding our friend ReviewTechUSA.
  • The slow decline of AVGN.
  • The situation with Xbox going multi-platform, what does the future hold?
  • Films that were modestly successful at the box office but were huge on VHS.
  • Exploring our parents VHS movie collections, discovering new movies.
  • Watching dodgy bootleg copies of the latest movies in Ireland!
  • Being excited to rent movies, and even pre-ordering rentals.
  • The marketing push for a movie lasting much longer in the 90s.
  • The huge gaps in time between theatrical releases to VHS rental releases and finally buy to own.
  • Laserdisc, did you know anyone that had one?
  • The crazy prices of Laserdiscs in the 90s.

    • Intro/Outro Music – Downtown Times Square (Scene 2-1 theme) – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989) – Arcade – Composer(s): Mutsuhiko Izumi, Miki Higashino
