Has anyone here been watching Greg's videos on Wackys on his forum? I've been watching them from the beginning and I think they're very interesting.
What I think he’s doing is a Wacky-style twist on the ‘unboxing’ video concept that’s been trending on YouTube for a while. One example I remember from a few years back was a series of new reissues of 80s horror films, most of which had been released on DVD one or more times previously, now being reissued in super-duper deluxe packages with additional discs of every extra possible, collector booklets, etc. With the premium price tag attached to these premium releases, I guess horrorphiles came up with the idea that doing an unwrap on video would help fans look before they leaped. In many cases so-called deluxe releases only offer a little more than what’s already out there. Arguably a form of predatory marketing to the completists out there.
