I'm joined by Thomas Edward Seymour, film professor in CUNY system working at Laguardia College and director of 2016's VHS Massacre (https://vhsmassacre.com/) and 2019's VHS Massacre, Too, a pair of documentary about the last stand of the American exploitation film. The first VHS Massacre installment explores the immediate fall-out of the post video store era, arguing that media consolidation led to the censorship and near death of the independent and exploitation film industry. The follow-up documentay movie follows the trajectory into the streaming age and takes viewers on an adventure leading from the last Blockbuster video store in Bend Oregon to Troma Entertainment in New York. Tom's a friend back from my days as an alt-weekly reporter in Connecticut where I covered several of his independent film projects for my paper The Hartford Advocate. In our conversation for the podcast, Tom catches me up on what's been going on with independent filmmakers, exploitation films and physical media in a post pandemic, post movie theater, streaming world and gives a full throated defense of the need for exploitation films in a world of corporate entertainment. VHS Massacre, too is available for sale as a Blu Ray here (https://www.amazon.com/VHS-Massacre-Too-Various/dp/B09G72PRMM/ref=asc_df_B09G72PRMM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=533457185749&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2227944913918362546&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004394&hvtargid=pla-1435345422690&psc=1).
