Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast.

I'm your humble, autumnal guest bay leaf peeper, Monty Belmonte, sitting in for Jesse Thorne.

This week, probate a max court.

In a world where physical media has been replaced by ephemeral digital technology.

Oh, boy, here we go.

Tyler still believes DVDs are.

Uh, they're stuff that dreams are made of.

Oh, no.

I wish I knew how to quit you, VHS.

And Abby is mad as hell, and she's not going to take it anymore.

Abby brings the case against her husband, Tyler.

Tyler wants Abby to keep all 450 of his physical movies when he dies. If he dies, he dies. Tyler says, go ahead. Take my babe,

two pig in the city on laser disc.

But frankly, my dear, Abby doesn't give a damn.

She isn't a movie person, and nobody puts Abby in a corner.

She says this collection will be wasted with her.

Asta la vista, Blu-ray.

She thinks Tyler's family and his little friend would enjoy the collection much more than she would.

But Tyler is scared that the memory of him will be relegated to a long time ago and a galaxy far, far away.

He thinks his vast selection of movies will be the best way for Abby to stay connected to him when he's on the other side.

I see dead people.

Who's right?
