HTLA Presents: Revival House: Part 3 - Vidiots Brings 60,000 DVDs and a New Theater to a Historic Space
Neon! Mullets! Video stores! Relive the 80s with us...
As we continue our series "Revival House," How to LA producer Victoria Alejandro is taking us to Eagle Rock to check out Vidiots. The iconic video store opened in Santa Monica in the 80s, and closed its doors in 2017. But, Vidiots reopened last year in the historic Eagle theater. And yes, all of its 60,000 DVDs made the move too.
Vidiots has made renting a movie cool again – and you can check out any DVD in their massive catalog for just $3.
And, the renovated theater will be hosting screenings as part of the new Los Angeles Festival of Movies this coming April.
Check out the past and present of Vidiots and the Eagle theater with us.
Guests: Executive director Maggie Mckay, founding member and filmmaker Noah Segan, programmer Saila Reyes, and film professor and theater historian Ross Melnick.
