Videodrome turns 25

Why it matters: "Atlanta's video store" — as in, its only video store — stocks more than 30,000 indie, foreign, cult and other hard-to-find movies.

• Plus, Videodrome's cinephile staffers are movie encyclopedias who can rattle off suggestions better than any algorithm you'll find on the streaming services.

Of note: In 2018, Videodrome launched "Plazadrome," a regular screening series featuring foreign gems (John Woo's "Hard Boiled") and B-movies ("Tammy and the T-Rex") at the Plaza Theatre.

Details: Expect limited-edition merch, animations by Zach White and Friends, a special Halfway Crooks beer brewed for the occasion, DJs including Wax Von Sydow (the nom de spin of writer and former Turner Classic Movies programmer Millie De Chirico) and much more.
