On Cinema guest Gregg Turkington was well-renown for his enormous collection of movies. It was eventually replaced by the Victorville Film Archives.
History
Before the start of the On Cinema podcast, Turkington had an extensive collection of movies, on both VHS (media format) and DVD. 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.[2]
Turkington would often loan films to friends, though he would be annoyed if people would return un-rewound tapes to him.[2]
Over the summer of 2012, Turkington purchased 500 tapes from an estate sale for $250 to add to his collection.[3]
Organization
In April 2012, the collection was organized alphabetically by genre.[2]
