I watch this episode later tonight after I watch a episode of wwf smackdown 2001
Visiting a video shop was an experience, amazing childhood memories of going on a weekend to pick a film. So much more than just pressing a film on Netflix where you don't even leave the house, get the experience or interaction with others. Arcades brought people together gaming and although it's fun to play online you're not actually with them. Having friends round or going in their houses on a wet day in the summer holidays to play games. It's the experiences and interactions we've lost with the internet, we're connected but are we really? Maybe I'm stuck in the past but I knew life prior to phones and the internet and it was so much better.
Being stuck in the past is fine. Have you seen my video game Collection? 😂
@@TheGebs24 🤣 yes and it's a great collection 👌
@@TheGebs24 meant to say.. if you liked this place you should definitely look into visiting Video Odyssey in Liverpool!
Anyone else pick up on the "Photo behind the curtains" in the cinema room? It's not a photo of people at the cinema, but in fact the photo of the ballroom full of people shown at the end of The Shining with Jack Nicholson. Love,love,love this place, absolutely amazing retro 80's/90's vibes!!!!
Planes , Trains and Automobiles is called "Ticket for 2" in Germany..
one of my favorite 80s Movies 😊😊😊😊😊
Amazing films
Brings back memories of video rental places. Rented many NES & 16-bit games from these sorts of places. Also, just like the films of the era, cover art was better crafted across the board back then, so it was always a treat to go to a real place to rent.
The nostalgia was EVERYTHING here 😄
Great video as always. I have to visit. I used to spend all my first job wages on VHS. I still have over 1500 tapes some with the original £12.99 price tag on them. I watch them on my trusty VHS player linked to a projector. My wife hates them as she says they take up too much room. I love the old trailers before the main movie or if you are oldskool "main film"). 😂
We so need something like this in the US!
In North of México too!!
Really cool place! The atmosphere looks amazing there! Thanks Gemma!🤩
Looks amazing! Those pictures behind the curtains in the cinema room are actually a blowup of the famous spooky photo from the very end of the shining, where it shows Jack has "always been the caretaker"! Incredible detail.
That looks like a special place, love the passion. Our town had video store, except it was in the basement of a music store. They had to call our parents whenever we wanted to rent a film that was above our age rating. Great memories.
Not copying but I also had a convo with my kids about how we used to watch films - then we had a debate as to whether or not a retro style video shop would work…… THIS is fabulous
Show your kids this video and tell them that this is what we grew up with ☺️
@@TheGebs24😊😊😊ironically it was my 13 year old son that shared this with me 😊 Fabulous 👍
I knew this would happen, i ditch all my vhs tapes that i had bought since the 90s when i moved home 7 years ago to a smaller flat, and now they becimes collectable, just my luck, but i have a fallback, my philps cdi, this will make me milllions one day.........soon........hopefully. lol
Cool 80's video store :) Brought back memories, when we didn't have yet our own VCR, sometimes my parents rented an Esselte rental home video player and some movies with it, I think they were VHS cassettes. Then later in the 80's we bought our own VHS vcr, mostly used it to record shows from TV though.
Bought myself a Philips VCR in 2003, and I still have it, basically in working condition most of the time, but sometimes it has some malfunctions.
I'm old enough to remember the pre cert video stores of the early 80's. As a kid you had to be watchful of which aisle you were in!
Now this is something I honestly never would have believed I would see again today, let alone somewhere I live right next door to! What an amazing place. So now we have a retro game shop in Derby, a vinyl shop in Langley Mill and now a video shop in Alfreton too! My nostalgia couldn't be more indulged.
I almost forgot to mention there's a retro game shop in Heanor as well, though I'm not as familiar with it now as when it used to be run by a different owner who ran it for easily 17+ years. And before having an actual shop, ran it as a stall in the small Cosy Market throughout the '90s. God bless you Carol wherever you are now!
I’m sure the Retro Game Shop in Heanor closed? The one on the market place?
Midlands Massive 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
@@TheGebs24 it's still there, I've driven past it not too long a go. The East Midlands is where it's at 💪
@@JoeyJoeJoe87 I believe that shop front is still there but it’s closed
Aww man I could stay in there all day. Rob is a Legend ❤️
Great video, I love that these guys are doing this and I really hope the store works out for them. I'll be sure to drop in when I'm in the area....looks like a little piece of my childhood.
We have the most nostalgia here 💪💪💪💪
I was actually thinking about this the other day having a 80's/90's style video rental store. Looks like there is a place
This was truly magical
@@TheGebs24 after watching I'm now getting flash backs of going to extra vision in the late 80s 😃
The movie poster for that year was unreal. My favourite "Commando" was on there, Cobra, Sakura Killers. Just amazing!
Nice
Cobra is one of my all time favorites. I just watched a documentary on it and the actor who played the slasher.
@@hangingon I watched it last night. Amazing
Definitely nailed the aesthetic, they were always upstairs or in the back of a petrol station. Never expensively fitted shops like the later stores such as Blockbuster.
Wow these guys know their stuff. Spot on with reminding of my 80s childhood and early teens. Plus actual vhs tapes. Just how the video rental shops were in the early to mid 80s
Truly an amazing place
Wooow... Such an awesome place with a great vibe.... 😍😍😍
Great video Gemma, thanks for showing and can see why it's a fave:) Favourite movie was 'Adventures in Babysitting' (1987) and I just re-watched the 'Babysitting Blues' song for some foot-tapping music fun:) Cheers again.
That's cool ☺️ what a good layout.....critters had me!
📼🎥❤️ I mean this episode is immense
I always remember Karate Kid. Kid was always asking why you teach me painting wall, because the final fight is approaching. And then later he realized that master was preparing him to defend from kicks and strikes
Awesome! I'm going as soon as I get chance! Thanks!
That is an amazing video.
So much retro goodness.
I'm 43 so hits the heart strings
I had so many vhs.
Hahaha
Auto tracking
And people not rewinding videos
What a perfect place to stop for a Friday Date night!
Big trouble in little china is my favorite movie. Goonies being a close tie. That place looks awesome.
I mean those movies helped to define our generation
I frickin love this store, this made a young 40yr old very happy & nostalgic. Followyed them on Instagram, this would so be worth a trip down from Scotland to visit. Great video, thanks for the tour...👏💙📼
I remember hanging out in places like this an hour or so before closing. Folks would begin returning movies and games at the last minute to avoid a late fee. Hang out around the return counter so you could go through those returns if you hadnt found what you wanted on the shelf.
Im far away, and blown away 😁
That place is awesome. I want to add VHS to my little game store now
Back in the late 80s to mid 90s my mum used to work at a video shop,it was right on the corner of the street.I got to see basically anything and everything.I would have been around 7 at the time,born in 1981 watching things like robocop,terminator,running man,total recall,aliens,rambo ,rocky,star wars and a hold load of schlocky 80s horror movies like childs play,return of the living dead,evil dead,later on the shop started to rent out mega drive games.Then blockbusters came along and that was that.I did love blockbusters though,I used to hire the games out for my mega drive and cough,cough copy them onto my floppy drive thingamajig.good times...........
Amazing times. I was born in 1983
Awesome! I hope you guys are still open and doing good buisness. I pray for the return of video stores. Such a huge part of my growing up and this streaming just isn't the same.
What an amazing place so much nostalgia watching this video. Loved it 😁.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How awesome! I’d love to visit that place!
What an awesome place!
Fab video, great place, and Chris and Rob are two of the most welcoming guys you'll ever meet. 🙂👍
I hope to meet Chris next time. Rob was amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough 🔥💪
@@TheGebs24 Both top lads! 🙂
Rob is one of my favourite people in the world. He's such a pleasure to hang out with. I'm yet to meet Chris but he clearly has taste. I couldn't make it to the opening night of the shop but will be heading over soon to worship at the VHS altar. Rob was kind enough to have me on the STV radio show once and also a Patreon episode of the STV podcast (which is an essential listen every week). So fun. I first met him at a cinema screening of the VHS documentary Adjust Your Tracking and have adored that gent ever since. This is one of my favourite videos ever on your lovely channel. Huge respect for bigging up the 80s video shop! BTW if you haven't already, check out That Weird Shop in Nottingham City centre near the arena. Very cool place.
Rob was a diamond. I’m heading back up there for an event on 16th Oct
@@TheGebs24 hell yes, me and my eldest son are too for the Halloween day!!!
@@AndrewHawnt Ahhh cool! See you there 🤚
Great nostalgia feels.
It’s sooooo good in here
Looking forward to this 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I hope you enjoy it
Hey gem!, where is this place? Can you just turn up there or do you have to book? Absolutely,Definitely on my bucket list lol X 😁😁😁
Bringing back memories when I worked in a video shop
What a museum that was
This store is cool!! We need more stores like this!
Soooo true
I kid you not, if I were rich, I would open something similar. Probably sell more things, but also have many places for people to play old games.
If I were rich. Right now I can't pay the bills lol.
Thank you for a very interesting video and good luck.
This place looks amazing!!!
Really loved this video 😍
Thank you!!
Love it....Love it.....Love it
YES
This was so much fun!
👍👍 Flawless Victory
wow , she make always amazing videos !!
Thank you
I wish them all the best. I know they don't rent out their tapes, but do people still have the players to play them?
Of course 😃
i still have a vcr 🤣
This is so awesome
Thanks. I love it too
Awesome video
I don't care what anyone says, i love the Super Mario Bros movie. I agree Gemma, the movie poster for it is awesome. Amazing store.
Wow this is so neat.
Honestly I love this video
OMG this has brought back so many memories. I used to love spending time in Video stores. My small town had 3 i think, plus someone who had tapes in the back of his car! I still have quite a few tapes from back in the day.
AMAZING!!!
YES!!!
Oh my god my dream store and i live in the uk
Now you have a chance to visit the lovely town of Alfreton ⚡️⚡️
@@TheGebs24 I do along with Blackpool Expo this year is gone all retro again and i love it
Very cool!
I'm about to arrive there now 😁
OMG ENJOY! Tell them you saw my video :)
@@TheGebs24 epic place!!!! Its like coming home!
@@TheGebs24 BTW I did mention your awesome video 🤘
Amazing Video Store🤤
Truly
All my memories come flooding back, I wonder if they rent blue movies from "under the counter"?
Very cool video
9:25 The money pit should be higher in the list.
Great movie.
Didn't realise the Gebs was so local, Alfreton is only a couple of miles from me.
Grew up there mate 💪💪
lets go back to the 80s when time was good ,do you come with me ?
Awesome
Absolutely amazing! Such a cool place by the looks of things. I could have watched this all day. So much cool retro stuff. Even a cinema😂Great video as always Gemma
Right back in time with this! Right back
Love it❤
Very nice
I went to a video rental store in the 90's and rented Mega-lo-Mania for the Megadrive. When I got home Sonic the Hedgehog booted up. The previous renter swapped the labels and kept the game. To this day, I still have never played Mega-lo-Mania. The End.
Smell o vision too
Great stuff, Gemma. I had that "What Are You Looking at Dicknose?" bumper sticker back in the day. Also, did Jess go to Penn State? I didn't go there, but I had several friends who did and I DJ'ed their parties back in the mid '90s.
My daughter goes to Penn State. Wish I did lol.
Nice. Thanks for the info! 😁
Whats that star on the wall ? 😛
Rob is a treasure.
I got the running man on DVD
Love it! Would definitely like to visit this place some time 🙂 I think I had a similar feeling of elation when I visited the flipper/arcade museum in Krakow, Poland. Need to shout out that place cause it's beyond awesome!
Do they have Swedened movies as well?
I miss my blockbuster
Same my friend
@@TheGebs24 I remember going in once a month buying loads movies popcorn and jelly beans those flavours ones renting ps1 games loved it, told my lad about it he 9 and just went but we can just do on xbox .... yeah times change its convineint but it's not same
I would rent these movies np in fact if blockbuster was still around I would rent movies from them
Yup
👍👍👍
It is a funny old world...... Companies expanding and spending millions on new tech.
Digital consoles, digital games, NanoCell, QDot, Oled, wireless controllers, 4K Blurays.... the talk of 8K gaming and 8K TV's.
Yet what does everyone yearn?
8Bit, 16Bit, CRT TV's, Videos, Vinyl (because it does sound better!) and just a more easier time.
Tech and new tech is great, but sometimes you just can NOT beat a bit of old skool.
😮😃👍
Didn't really blow my mind but it was cool!
Not that this is important but who was your first crush as a kid? Love your videos!!!
I can’t remember 😂😂
@@TheGebs24that's okay, I can't remember either.
There nothing like this where I live in Cumbria we only got cex and game
They even have the shitty artex on the ceiling..bonafide.
👍😂
Does no doubt look like a great place but it's a bit too curated and deliberate to really feel like a genuine 80ies video store.
some time i play game boy😀kof 96
Thanks for making an advert and putting some adverts in it on an advertising website.
I can see I need to leave your channel alone now - cheerio.
Shame u can’t rent the videos!
