PM Weekly

PM Weekly is an independent newsletter covering the world of physical media, founded and written by Sean Reid. Every Friday, it reports on the formats a streaming culture wrote off too soon: DVD, Blu-ray, 4K UHD, LaserDisc, VHS, and beyond. Each issue tracks the releases worth owning, the industry and business stories shaping the market, the collecting signals that reveal where it is all heading, and the independent video stores keeping the format alive. It is written for collectors, cinephiles, and anyone who still believes a movie is worth owning rather than renting from a server that can take it back.

The newsletter draws on Reid's three decades in film and television, a career that began in entertainment news as Assignment Manager at E! News Live and grew across producing, directing, and writing for features, documentaries, and streaming. That background gives PM Weekly a point of view few outlets can match. As the co-founder of a streaming platform who also champions physical ownership, Reid writes from inside both worlds, and he uses that vantage to cut through the noise each week in an original Lede, followed by a tightly edited briefing built for people who take the format seriously.

PM Weekly is published in partnership with Greg Srisavasdi and Deepest Dream, the film and entertainment site and home of the CinemAddicts podcast, with a planned rollout to YouTube. What began as a newsletter is growing into a broader home for physical media coverage and community, arriving at the exact moment the format is proving it never really went away.
