 ===== History =====
-Before the start of the //[[podcast|On Cinema]]// podcast, Turkington had an extensive collection of movies, on both [[vhs]] and [[greggandnon-vhs#dvd|DVD]], stored within [[greggshousing|his apartment]]. He felt that he had worked his "whole life" to create the collection,[(cite:oscar1>[[oscar1]])] though he only truly began collecting around 1999.[(cite:s04e06>[[s04e06]])] In April 2012, Turkington estimated he had over 1,000 VHS tapes, and stated that making the switch entirely to DVD would be foolish as many older movies were only available on VHS.[(cite:pod31>[[pod31]])] He primarily used resources such as eBay, flea markets, and thrift stores to stock his collection.[(cite:oscar1)]

 Turkington would often loan films to friends, though he would be annoyed if people would return un-rewound tapes to him.[(cite:pod31)] Loaned tapes were expected to be returned within a week.[(cite:s03e09>[[s03e09]])] Turkington knew a VHS repairman from Canoga Park who would respool VHS tapes from broken cases into blank tape cases, and steam off the tape's label to re-apply to the new case. Turkington had a number of tapes repaired this way, and offered his services to [[john]].[(cite:oscar1)] He was very protective of his collection, asking [[tim]] to "please respect it" after Heidecker spilled ice onto a crate of Turkington's tapes.[(cite:oscar1)] In case of disaster, Turkington had multiple copies of movies in his collection, including sealed copies of [[oscars]] winners.[(cite:oscar1)]
