  • Taking the Physical (Media) Part 2
    Jun 26 2024

    It's really more of a spiritual sequel...

    Are the kids getting into tapes because of Taylor Swift?

    What is “second screen” content?

    Will Killers of the Flower Moon ever get a physical release?

    Is there a need for movie takedown posts? Not critical reviews but social media that just shits on other peoples work.

    What did you call your video tape player back in the day? VHS player? VCR? Tape Machine?

    Russ and Zach delve into these questions and of course, much much more in this special extended episode of the Emerald City Video Podcast.
