THE IMPORTANCE TO WATCH YOUR BLU-RAY COLLECTION!! (Blu-ray Broskis) | Shelf Media Society #2

Episode 2 of Shelf Media Society features a relaxed conversation with Callum from Blu-ray Broskis, a physical media creator known for his TikTok challenge of watching his entire Blu-ray collection. The episode focuses heavily on the importance of actually watching the films people buy, rather than simply collecting them for display. Callum explains how he started collecting from VHS and DVDs before moving into Blu-rays and steelbooks, eventually building a collection based around films he genuinely enjoys and rewatches.A big topic throughout the discussion is collecting habits within the physical media community. Callum talks about blind buying films, admitting he often buys movies he ends up disliking, while also discussing how collectors can become more interested in packaging, steelbooks, and limited editions than the films themselves. Both hosts reflect on how easy it is to let movies sit unopened on shelves for years, and how challenges like Callum’s help reconnect collectors with the reason they started buying physical media in the first place.The episode also explores the future of physical media, with both agreeing that passionate collectors are helping keep the market alive through steelbooks, collector’s editions, and social media communities. They discuss changing buying habits, the rise of second-hand stores like CEX, and how platforms like TikTok and YouTube are encouraging more people to get into Blu-rays and 4Ks again. Callum finishes by sharing advice for new collectors: focus on buying your favourite films first and make your collection personal, rather than chasing huge shelves just because other collectors have them. 📀🎙️ 📀 Check out Blu-Ray Broskis ➡️ TikTok • https://www.tiktok.com/@bluray.broskis/ ➡️ Instagram • https://www.instagram.com/bluraybroskis/ ➡️ SUBSCRIBE to Shelf Media Society • https://www.youtube.com/@ShelfMediaSociety ➡️ TikTok • https://www.tiktok.com/shelfmediasociety ➡️ Instagram • https://www.instagram.com/shelfmediasociety ➡️ Apple Podcasts • https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shelf-media-society/id1896234434 ➡️ Spotify • https://open.spotify.com/show/7dCQrhlhQVBaIaUttNh6h3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎵 Track: Groove Sauce by Stan Town 📥 Music Source: Uppbeat.io 🆓 Music Credit: Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!) 🔗 https://uppbeat.io/t/stan-town/groove-sauce 🎫 License code: KHANFJVGKGLET27H#Bluray #4KBluray #BlurayHunting
