Stargrove Video

The staff trades "hot takes" and criticize favorites from the Evil Dead, Terrifier, Hokum, The Ring and the wave of J-horror remakes.  Then the staff enter the theater for a screening of Jean‑Claude Van Damme's Kickboxer. They discuss its training montages, fight choreography, music and why it lives in the nostalgic orbit of 80's films. The discussion also spawns into action stars and video games.  

Halloween is over and it's time for clean-up. The staff is given a pile of films to figure out what genre they belong to.  Meanwhile the kids are helping with clean-up as well as ball busting. The shelving debates range from Jodorowsky to Die Hard, the jokes about staff range from starting a band to drug use in the bathroom.  Later the staff watches and discusses Robert Rodriguez’s "Road Racers", its cast, soundtrack, and the 50's/90's style.  

Welcome to first The Stargrove Video Halloween Special! Deja vu strikes back at Stargrove Video when the dead body of Oliver appears again before the store's preparation for their The Haunted Aisles. They realize they are going to have to sacrifice one of their staff members to stop the violence and insanity.  Uncle Huey's Time Machine comes in handy at the very last moment.  Then... The staff is here to give you their Halloween themed staff picks but it takes place during their haunted aisles attraction.  Prepare for a scary time as people keep scaring the staff with their loud screams.  Then... It is Nick's Screening Room pick of the black‑and‑white version of Marvel's Werewolf by Night for watching and discussing.  

Welcome back to Stargrove Video! Also, welcome to the bizarre! The day begins with a mysterious dead body in the store. They wrestle with the idea that a time machine may have altered reality, and debates who — if anyone — is responsible. While investigating the body they discover a button under the register that takes them on a very wild and crazy journey. When they return, things seem like they are back to normal but they are not.   They later head to the screening room to screen and discuss the 1992 film Stay Tuned.  It is about satellite TV from hell that pulls people into a nightmarish realm of twisted TV shows. The film leads to a discussion about sitcoms and fun stories about them.  But..... The staff doesn't realize what they unearthed, because next week one of them will be leaving Stargrove Video forever....

Welcome back to Stargrove Video!  Tonight we are screening and discussing the Anthony Michael Hall (not so) classic "Out Of Bounds".  But first, one by one, the staff talk movies that remain trapped on VHS.  That of course leads to discussion about formats.  Then, Jack gets personal.  He tells an awful, but true, tale about a tv festival.  

Welcome back to Stargrove Video!  Last week we heard the noise, this week we find out what that noise was. Through Backrooms and time travel our fifth staff member joins us! After we come back to present day we talk about the new show Crystal Lake trailer and more.  Then we are off to the store theater to watch and discuss The Backrooms (2026).  

Welcome back to Stargrove Video!  It is a slow night but that gives the staff a chance to prep for Halloween by airing out their grievances for "spooky season".  That culminates into a discussion about posers and the the hatred of public domain properties.  The staff closes the near empty store and go to the screening room for the feature "Vice Squad", a delicious, grimy, nasty film from 1982 starring Wings Hauser.   

Welcome back to Stargrove Video.  Halloween is getting closer, but not as close as the new Halloween game.. Jack discusses the game with the guys and his quick take on it before putting some copies on the shelf. The conversation turns into what futuristic films got the closest to predicting the future. None of them predicted where the conversation went when it came to not so nice people from the staff’s past. The store closes and the screening happens for Dave’s pick of Rollerball (1975) which is a surprisingly a first for some staff members.  

Who the hell is Tom?!  That’s a valid question. Tom Heigl is a phantom camera operator who worked on many different films including: Drive, The Revenant, Final Destination 5, Kong Skull Island, Bad Grandpa, Jackass 3D, The Eric Andre Show and many others. He has come to the store to catch up with Jack and talk about some of the productions he worked on since you’re here.

Welcome back to Stargrove Video. Everyone else is outside waiting for the store to open but you’re invited to be inside during our Back To School Staff Picks. We pick some of our favorite school set films which brings up an interesting topic about modern school set films. Then you are fast forwarded to our screening room for Brandon’s pick of the 1982 Grindhouse classic “Pieces”. Each staff member discusses the film on stage.
