Welcome back to another episode of Monster Men. Every time the docs are about to pronounce us dead, we drag another breath into our old ass lungs and get right back up. This time around, we discuss the value of physical media and why it should be here to stay. Sure, streaming movies is easy and convenient, but can you really find everything you want at your fingertips? What happens when a streaming service loses the rights to your favorite flick? Do you really want to pay over and over again for a movie you love? Jack and Hunter pluck five movies from their massive shelves and discuss why there is still a ton of value in buying physical copies of horror movies.

What are some of your favorite movie purchases and why? The Monster Men want to know!

And now that we have a new and improved streaming platform, what topics would you like us to tackle in the coming months? If we do an episode based on your suggestion, you’ll get some free books from Hunter. So screw on that thinking cap and send us your wish lists!
