Gregg and non-VHS formats

On Cinema guest Gregg Turkington is well known for his promotion of VHS as a format. However, his original movie collection at one point contained DVDs as well as VHS tapes.

In late 2012, Gregg had a Netflix subscription,[1] which at the time allowed for users to both stream video and rent DVDs. It's unclear which Netflix service Gregg primarily used.

For Christmas 2013, On Cinema host Tim Heidecker gave Gregg a Blu-ray player and a collection of compatible films. Gregg was thankful but hesitant about the gift, stating that since his collection was mostly VHS, and his shelving was built for those dimensions, he wasn't “quite ready to make the switch over.”[2]

  • In Podcast Episode 29: "The Three Stooges", Gregg, excited for the DVD release, mentions that considering how long it may take for The Three Stooges to come to home video, it may instead come out on Blu-ray.
  • In Podcast Episode 34: "The Hunt for Red October", Tim alludes that Gregg was on the fence about potentially expanding his collection to include Blu-ray, which Gregg was tentatively supportive of, but didn't feel an immediate need to.
