DVD extras helped shape media literacy and pulled the curtain of filmmaking back for an entire generation -- and then the bubble popped and Hollywood had to change gears.

But there are still a few freaks out there that appreciate physical media and the joys it can bring us.

Jon Rhoads (filmmaker!) and Kenny Madison (co-host of the Trek Wars Podcast!) stop by to stroll down memory lane to talk about how exciting the initial DVD boom was and how director's commentaries and bonus features helped shape our development as artists and entertainers, as well as make the case for why physical media should still be an integral part of film culture.
