#328 - The Death of the Video Store - WatchThis W/RickRamos

Hanging Onto Yesterday - The Birth, Evolution, and Death of The Video Store

On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to discuss memories of the video store . . . whether the Mom & Pop stores, the chain stores, and the monster that ate it all - Blockbuster Video. We discuss the anarchy and danger of the Mom & Pop versus the bulldozer that was Blockbuster Video and later Netflix and the streaming revolution. For this episode we focus on our memories of growing up on cable television, the library, and the video store, and we couple this with two streaming documentaries that examine this history: Netflix's The Last Blockbuster and (streaming free on Tubi) Rewind This. This is a damn good time remembering this soul and intellectual formative period. Take a listen and see how much of it you can remember.
