The collection includes 200 DVDs of Sharknado.

From an undisclosed bush downtown, I can now confirm that Netflix no longer has the biggest media footprint. That honor goes to Troy Glikman, who owns a whopping eight-million DVDs, all of which he stores in the two-car garage of his home in Litte Rock Arkansas. I caught up with Glikman over Zoom, earlier this week to discuss his collection.
“I just started buying every DVD I came across. There is just something about owning a physical copy of a movie which no one can take away from you, Glikman said, as he cradled a DVD of Gremlins 2. “Some people think it’s a bit much. I get all kinds of comments. ‘What do you need 200 copies of Sharknado for?’ ‘How do you pay for all this?’ ‘Troy, why do you have eight million DVDs but no DVD player?’ To all those people, I say, ‘Leave me alone. I’m staring at my collection.’”
Glikman was amazed to find out his DVD collection now surpasses Netflix’s media collection in size. While honored by his new spot at the top, he’s not too worried about competing with the streaming giant.
“I don’t need any record or praise. All I need are my DVDs,” Glikman said before going into detail about why he doesn’t lend out DVDs, even for movies which he has multiples. “I once let a friend borrow a copy of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. That so-called friend had the nerve to open the package and watch the movie. These are not for watching. These are for viewing the box and nothing else. Me and that friend no longer talk.”
Co-CEO of Netflix, Ted Sarandos is not amused by Glikman and has already set out to regain the title of biggest media collection.
“People like Glikman are a blight on my existence,” Sarandos said, while wearing a new Coyote fur and eating frog legs. “Individuals owning property is our 9/11. You can bet your bottom dollar; we’re working on taking care of our Glikman problem. We’ll be back at the top in no time.”
At press time, Netflix was in talks to buy Glikman’s full catalogue of DVDs.
The bush I hid in for this story was a Wespy Willopuss.
