A horror & physical media podcast. Casual dives into horror, collecting, and the culture that shapes us—through the eyes of your local Boogeyman.
Not broke. Just not buying their bullsh*t.
What this show is
Broke Boogeyman is where discs still matter—VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K. I talk restorations, boutique labels, and the releases that are actually worth owning. No hype cycles, no algorithm chasing. Just honest takes on what holds up, what looks better, and what deserves shelf space.
What you’ll hear
Expect rankings and arguments, format talk (bitrate, grain, color timing), and how physical media preserves the version that streaming quietly replaces. Sometimes we go deep on a single film; sometimes it’s a wider look at trends, censorship, or how studios treat collectors.
Who it’s for
If you care about the difference between a scan and a real restoration—or you’re just trying to build a smarter collection without burning cash—you’re in the right place.
What we cover
- Physical media: VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, UHD restorations
- Boutique labels and whether their editions are worth it
- Horror subgenres: slashers, psychological, cult, and beyond
- Transfers, encodes, extras, and packaging that actually matter
- Cultural context: why it mattered then, why it matters now
