  • Top 10 VHS Rentals of September 1996

    Top 10 VHS Rentals of September 1996
    Sep 7 2026
    It's September 1996. School just started, friends are coming over Friday night, and someone has to make the run to Palmer Video. Thirty years later, Rob and Guido pull the top 40 video rental chart from the week of September 28, 1996 and each bring five picks to battle it out for the ultimate top 10.
    The rules: every pick had to appear on that week's chart, and each host had to have actually rented it back in the day, with one wish-I'd-rented exception apiece. Along the way we cover the Kurt Russell number one that neither of us ever watched, why every commercial in 1996 whispered "Mary Reilly," the Stephen King direct-to-video sequel we downloaded and never watched, Nicolas Cage's Oscar-winning detour, Robin Williams returning to the Genie, a proto-Sixth Sense from Terry Gilliam, the height of Adam Sandler mania, the Robert Rodriguez vampire movie that clearly inspired Sinners, the Bond that launched a thousand N64 deathmatches, and the anthology film Guido treasured on previously viewed VHS because Madonna plays a witch.

    THE COUNTDOWN
    10. Mary Reilly
    9. Sometimes They Come Back Again
    8. Leaving Las Vegas
    7. Get Shorty
    6. Aladdin and the King of Thieves
    5. 12 Monkeys
    4. Happy Gilmore
    3. From Dusk Till Dawn
    2. GoldenEye
    1. Four Rooms

  • Ryan Verrill Is Changing How You Watch Movies + Physical Media We'd Save From a Burning Building

    Ryan Verrill Is Changing How You Watch Movies + Physical Media We'd Save From a Burning Building
    Jun 25 2026
    The Sleepover Retro Countdown Show - Episode 13

    Rob and Guido step outside the usual format this week for a long conversation with Ryan Verrill, one of the most trusted voices in physical media.

    Ryan is the man behind:
    - The Disc Connected, the collector hub turned community
    - The Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network
    - The Physical Media Advocate magazine
    - Antenna Releasing, his new distribution label

    He talks about reimagining how movies reach people, building third spaces for fans of the medium, and walking away from a 17-year career to give filmmakers a fairer deal.

    Our countdown runs underneath the interview. The challenge: the physical media releases from the last 10 years all three would save from a burning building (after the kids and pets, for the record).

    What made it out:
    1. 🔪 A Nightmare on Elm Street 4K UHD Steelbook Collection (Warner Bros)
    2. 2. ⚔️ He-Man and She-Ra: The Eternia Collection (Turbine Media)
    3. 3. 🧀 Mandy on VHS, Cheddar Goblin cover (Witter Entertainment)
    4. 4. 🕷️ The Spider Labyrinth 4K (Severin)
    5. 5. 🌾 All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror (Severin)
    6. 6. 🌌 Cloud Atlas 4K (Shout! Factory)
    7. 7. 🐈‍⬛ Felidae 4K (Def Crocodile)
    8. 8. 🌲 The Blair Witch Project Limited Edition Blu-ray (Second Sight)
    9. 9. 📼 Scream 4 on VHS (Lionsgate)

    Follow Ryan at https://antennareleasing.com and across The Disc Connected, Someone's Favorite Productions, and the Physical Media Advocate.

  • Top 10 Treasures from Our Long Island Retro Toy Hunt

    Top 10 Treasures from Our Long Island Retro Toy Hunt
    Jun 11 2026
    Hosts Rob and Guido are on the same screen for the first time as they count down the top 10 treasures from their Long Island retro toy hunt. Vintage toys, mint-on-card action figures, rare VHS tapes, horror merchandise, and video store ephemera all fight for shelf space in this haul.The rules this week: every pick must come from one single day trip to Long Island, with stops at three retro toy stores that were all new to the hosts: Long Island Pickers in Westbury, Time Warp Toys inside Retro Relics in Lake Grove, and Lost Toys in Miller Place.

    Fuel for the hunt came courtesy of The Haunted House of Hamburgers, the horror-themed diner with blacklights, animatronics, and horror movies always playing.

    The picks, in no particular order:
    1. 📚 The Shadow and The Phantom movie novelizations (Long Island Pickers, Westbury). Matching paperback tie-ins from the '90s pulp hero revival that followed Dick Tracy, complete with glow-green fonts that make them look like one shared universe.
    2. 🎉 Princess of Power honeycomb centerpiece party decoration (Time Warp Toys inside Retro Relics, Lake Grove). Sealed in original packaging. She-Ra party ephemera that was designed to be used once and thrown away, which is exactly why it survives so rarely.
    3. 📼 Torso on VHS (Long Island Pickers). Starring Kathleen Robertson, Callum Keith Rennie, Brenda Fricker, and Victor Garber. One tape standing in for a haul of roughly 80 direct-to-video '90s thrillers, most of which never made it to streaming and qualify as semi-lost media.
    4. 🎸 Rock 'n Curl Jem in box (Lost Toys, Miller Place). The big-hair variant of Hasbro's Jem with the full fashion illustration poster included, plastic window intact.
    5. 🃏 G.I. Joe Hydro Viper backing card (Time Warp Toys). A 1988 figure grail finally completed. The loose figure came from New Jersey; the card art that started the obsession came from a bin of Joe card backs on Long Island.
    6. 🕯️ Scream candle holders by Fun World, 1997 (Time Warp Toys). Original packaging with red candles intact. Early horror merchandising from the company that made the Ghostface mask itself, released back when the movie studio wasn't even credited on the package.
    7. 🪓 The Ripper from Last Action Hero, mint on card (Lost Toys). The ax-swinging Mattel figure returns to the countdown, played on screen by the late Tom Noonan. Great figure, legendarily lazy back-of-card art.
    8. 👻 Spooks the Heroic Ghostling from Tonka's Supernaturals (Lost Toys). Hologram-faced figures on die-cut spooky-tree cards, no cartoon to back them up, and the start of a quest to collect the entire line.
    9. 📺 Double-sided cardboard video store hanging ad from Virgin Vision (Time Warp Toys). Salaam Bombay! on one side, Edge of Sanity starring Anthony Perkins on the other. An Oscar-nominated Mira Nair drama and a cocaine-powered Jekyll and Hyde riff, united only by their distributor. Found hanging from the ceiling, retrieved by machete, and soon to hang in the Sleepover Trading Co. video store.
    10. 🏰 Complete Masters of the Universe Fright Zone playset (Lost Toys). Trees, gate, trap floor, and monster hand puppet all intact. That leaves only Eternia between Guido and a complete vintage MOTU playset collection.
