To mark the 15th Annual Video Store Day [VSD] in Anno 2025, I've recorded a short nostalgia piece originally published in the second issue of Film Fvckers. "The Great Tape Swap or: How I Learned Even More About Films and People Thanks to VHS" is a true recollection of a special period when friends swapped VHS tapes and expanded their cinematic horizons, and discovered new genres and filmmakers – in my case, schlock, sexploitation, and direct-to-video B-movies.

For a related (and rather barbed) blog on some of the piquant trends in home video, do check out the Editor's Blog at KQEK.com, which also contains links to prior VSD blogs, featuring some then-jarring trends, bits of graphic ephemera, and mentions of now long-gone shops that used to pepper Toronto's downtown and mid-town.
