The Last Video Store

This is so good. And the immediate rapport Alexei has with his guests from all paths and levels of notoriety speaks to how locked in he is with film - Everyone is ready to jump in and run with his thoughts and curiosities. Awesome stuff.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this podcast Alexei! You've successfully paired nostalgia for the grimy old video store that I used to ride up the road to in the mid 90s with a wonderful way to gain insight into such a broad range of guests experiences in film and with film. I remember my mum sitting us down to watch Jimmy Stewart classics like Harvey and Rope, and finding I loved them! My most watched are probably Heat and Watchmen or Ronin, but I'm on my own journey with my daughter now and we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs last weekend, which was a hoot. Keep up the journey and insights and thanks again!

If you love film, you will thoroughly enjoy this pod. Alexei is an encyclopaedia of film knowledge, he gets some really famous guests and just interesting people. Great for learning about films I haven’t seen, and his recommendations at the end are always on point

The Last Video Store is a treasure trove for anyone who cherishes the magic of movies and the nostalgia of the video rental era. Every episode, i am transported back into my childhood years of a Friday night, browsing aisles of DVDs and fighting my siblings for the pick of the night. His infectious enthusiasm for cinema is matched only by his deep knowledge and wit. Thank you for bringing my love of cinema back into my life. My top three picks are Pig, No country for old men and Animal kingdom
