All About Us
VideOdyssey is the labour of love of Andy Johnson, former journalist turned shop and studio owner when he decided in 2018 to create a haven of 80s and 90s nostalgia.
​
As an homage to his favourite director, Quentin Tarantino, Andy has set the shop with the clear intent of saving old films and fight back against the digital tidal wave, which made a rarity for new films to exist in actual film.
Believing that fans also crave a curated experience that does not involve scrolling through endless lists of online films and that it is possible to buck the trend of online streaming services by giving customers an immersive film experience in a brick and mortar video shop.
Based at the old studios of Liverpool iconic Toxteth TV, on Windsor Street, VideOdyssey offers vintage VHS players for rental alongside videotapes as well as private VHS screening rooms with regular curated cinema screenings, Q&A with directors and many other events!
Millions of hours of film are currently at threat of being lost forever due to video tape mould. Or simply being junked, with hundreds of thousands of tapes being thrown on the scrap heap, as they are unable to be recycled.
