In episode 29, Johnny talks to Dave Wain, one of the last bastions of the video rental industry.

Dave runs Snips Movies, one of the UK’s last video stores. The shop, situated in the Wirral near Liverpool, boasts an impressive selection of over 15,000 movies, all available to rent for the great price of 3 for £5.

Johnny's talk with Dave covers the trials and tribulations of running a video rental store in the 21st century, an enterprise that’s going from strength to strength with an ever-changing profile of appreciative customers.

They also discuss the directors Joe Dante, Quentin Tarantino and William Friedkin, and they lift the lid on Orson Welles editing lesbian shower sequences for porn films in his spare time...

This conversation was recorded online in mid-July 2024.
