In this episode of Keeping Skor, we explore the world of movie collecting - and how collecting films can become something much deeper than owning physical media.

Corey shares how his relationship with movies began in childhood, from drive-in theaters to limited access at home, and how those early experiences shaped the way he thinks about film, memory, and collecting.

But this isn’t just about collecting movies. It’s about collecting experiences.

From carefully curated movie nights to recreating the feeling of a communal theater, Corey has built something that blends nostalgia, storytelling, and connection. Like many collectors, he isn’t just gathering objects - he’s preserving moments, memories, and a shared sense of meaning.

We talk about the shift from physical media to digital collections, the idea of “lost” films in the streaming era, and why the act of watching something together still matters.

Because sometimes what we’re really collecting… isn’t the thing itself.

It’s the feeling it gives us.
