Blockbuster Video

Oh Blockbuster, you beautiful blue and yellow staple of our childhood weekends! Strolling through those dirtily-carpeted aisles, fighting over movie choices with your family, wishing the completely checked-out teen cashier thought you were cool. If you miss the cleaning feeling of popping open a new VHS or the panic of returning it on time to skip the late fees, tune into this episode. Reminisce with us about the weekend event of renting physical media from Blockbuster, gone too soon due to the petty squabbles of CEOs making terrible decisions, but never forgotten!

Honorable mentions include Gone with the Wind, John Mayer (ew), Discovery Zone, classic commercials, the Oregon Trail, and more!
