Ron Howard's Cocoon and Why You Should Always Keep Your Blu-rays and DVDs

Ron Howard's Cocoon was one of the biggest hits of the eighties, won an Oscar for star Don Ameche and spawned a sequel. Yet, for something like 10 years its been all but impossible to find. It was issued on DVD over 20 years ago, but only surfaced on Blu-ray in Region 2. In North America, the old DVD, if you can find it, is the only way to see this movie. It's not streaming, but oddly, the sequel Cocoon: The Return is easy to find. In this video, we discuss why it vanished and why it's so important to keep collecting Blu-rays (and physical media in general) and never to throw out your old DVDs, as movies still just go away - and often for inexplicable reasons.
