DVD BEST-SELLERS for MAY 2020

“Since studying film, I’ve gotten into more weird, indie stuff,” he explains. “I’m intrigued by movies that push the boundaries and go beyond the mainstream – I like to watch something that really makes me think.” That hasn’t always been the case, however, as Corey comes clean on a past guilty pleasure. “When I was growing up, for some reason I was obsessed with the shark movie Deep Blue Sea ! I couldn’t tell you why,” he

laughs, “but I used to watch that movie all the time.” Nowadays, Corey is checking out flicks like Vox Lux and Paradise Hills when he isn’t geeking out over two of the best sci-fi series on TV – Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse . “At the moment I’m bingeing Battlestar Galactica for the seventh time. It’s one of my favourite shows. The original ‘70s version was very campy but in the reboot there’s this massive shift in tone and the characters; it’s just beautifully written and stunning.” Upon discovering that RR shares a mutual love of The Expanse series and books, there is much comparing of notes before Corey adds, “It’s the BSG of this decade – I’ve been recommending it to everyone at work.“ As for the tastes of JB shoppers in Merrylands, Corey says the store has an older demographic that loves the classics, as well as new releases like The Good Liar and Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears . Horror is also a popular genre, particularly with younger customers (echoing a nationwide trend), although it’s not exactly Corey’s cup of tea. “I’ll watch it, but I’m petrified of horror films,” he admits. “We have people coming in asking for A Quiet Place and I’m like, “That movie terrified me, why are you asking for this?”
