In what used to be -- and probably still should be -- two episodes, Russ and Zach talk for two hours and change about the changing face of streaming, how it's going to cost users a fortune, how coporate America doesn't care to make your movie-watching more pleasant or convenient, and why everyone maybe made too big a deal out of the whole Disney+/Marvel Cinematic Universe kerfuffle last week.
You can find us (and a number of other awesome podcasts) on the ACPN family of shows.
The Emerald City Video Podcast is a periodic podcast hosted by entertainment journalist Russ Burlingame, with a rotating cast of hosts who used to work at the Emerald City Video store in East Syracuse, New York. The store was once awarded by the Video Software Dealers of America as the best small video store in the U.S. Though it closed in 2009, the store’s legacy still touches the daily lives of a lot of the people who used to work there, and the Syracuse community as a whole still has a lot of fondness for its memory.
The idea behind the podcast, which launched in 2016, was to bring the discourse you would get at a video store — talking with real humans about your movies, rather than trusting in an algorithm — back to…well, if not the world, or even Syracuse, at least to the guys who maybe missed that human connection the most: a bunch of pop culture junky loudmouths who used to run a really cool video store. Over the years, the Emerald City Video banner has flown over a number of themes, including specific episodes about TV series like Riverdale and Psych.
If you like what we’re doing here, you can become a patron of the Emerald City Video Podcast, which comes with fun perks. You can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook. We also have Instagram and Vero accounts where we share images, photos, memes, and nonsense. You can support us on Patreon, too, and do things like requesting custom episodes and the like.
Be back for more by noon on the fifth day, and please — always remember to rewind your videocassettes.
