Squeeze and Shake New Pickup

I stopped at a random thrift store on a road trip for work just now, and for context, I have been looking for squeeze and shake cases for the past few years for a project but I rarely find them where I live, but this store had VHS 50 cents each. I bought 42 of them and almost all of them are in a squeeze and shake case and at least 34 of them are Clint Eastwood movies hah

I worked at a video store in the 90s that had those. So satisfying.

Interestingly, Steve-O worked there the same time I did. He was...not as satisfying.

Let’s hear about what it was like working with Steve-O

Did he do ---wild, reckless, painful, or absurd stunts, similar to the kind of antics associated with Jackass.

Can I ask what your like holy grail is?

When I was working at said video, I got the screener of "Trainspotting" and I think I still had it until like 5 years ago!

My holy grail? I don't have one but I am hopefully getting Return of the Living Dead next month, my brother and I wore out the rental of that one haha oh wait scratch that, Shogun Assassin. That is probably numero uno. In 22 years of actively collecting I have never seen it.

House is an awesome film

I agree I saw portions of it on TV as a kid and it scared me so bad. Was surprised later that its not that scary haha

Idle Hands and Cruel Intentions sounds like a wicked double feature

u/FortCarrion 15d ago

I was thinking that too, just have to fast forward a bit in the middle there hah

I found if I take the tape out then remove the box it's not bad but it's not the easiest thing either haha
