The Physical Cut
Where films live beyond the stream.
The Physical Cut is a podcast about physical media, movie collecting, and the culture behind Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray, and boutique labels like Criterion Collection, Arrow Video, and more. Hosted by Krloz Ruben, each episode explores film preservation, collector culture, limited editions, restorations, and the stories behind the movies we choose to own in a streaming-first world.
From deep dives into boutique Blu-ray releases to conversations about physical media collecting, film preservation, horror, and home video history, The Physical Cut celebrates the collectors, creators, and community keeping physical media alive.
