Editorial Review for Mondo Video A-go-go – by Peter Geiberger
In Short
Bringing together a fairly close knit community of reprobates and lunatics, Mondo Video is home to the best cultural rot available on VHS. The mostly family-run store attracts an odd collection of cinemaphiles and oddballs who come as much for the store's carnival atmosphere as for the tapes. From legitimate fringe cinema (Andy Warhol, Russ Myers) to cultural low points (the entire "Jerry Springer: Too Hot for TV" collection) to total aberrations (midget porn), nothing is sacred here.

Mondo video is its own little universe, almost like a bizarro-world version of Clerks. This is were bad people go to do worse things, or at least rent a film of someone else doing it. The regular open mike events are not to be missed, and in the meantime you can occupy yourself with 20+ years of videos and a rapidly expanding DVD catalogue featuring the works of Gary Glitter, Svetlana, Jamaa Fanaqua Russ Meyer, Doris Whitaker, Titus Moody, Kenneth Anger, John Stagliano, and just about everyone in between.
Pros: Rare videos, Smart(mouthed) staff
