À propos de cet audio
In the final episode of Say Yes To VHS, Brian and Sam fast forward to the end of the series to discuss the ‘90s heyday of video sales, the eventual decline of physical media and the current wave of nostalgia for VHS.
In the 1990s, video sales became more profitable than video rentals, with films such as The Lion King, Jurassic Park and Titanic selling millions of copies. But only a few years later DVD supplanted VHS as the most popular home video format. The arrival of streaming platforms such as Netflix marked the death-knell for the remaining video shops in Northern Ireland, with the final XtraVision branch shutting its doors in 2016.
We finish the series by taking a nostalgic look at the impact and importance of VHS, asking what we have lost with the switch away from physical media.
