Ken is an avid movie collector, TV taper, and all around wonderful man. We also dig into our shared love of WSBK TV-38's The Movie Loft hosted by Dana Hersey. PAPA DANA!!</p> <p>Then I talk to writer/director Alex Ross Perry who made the must watch documentary <a href= "https://www.videoheaven.movie">Videoheaven</a> about the history of videostores as depcited in film & TV. He's also a former employee of Kim's Video, which we discuss.</p> <p>And in between I take a trip to <a href= "https://www.statictapevideo.com/michigan-is-dead-2026">Static Tape Video</a> and their horror-con tape-swap <a href= "https://www.statictapevideo.com/michigan-is-dead-2026">Michigan Is Dead</a> in Muskegon, MI.
