RIP Blockbuster 1985-2014
I’m actually a little sad today. We now basically live in a world without walk in movie rentals. Not walk up. Not push button. Walk in and browse. Take your time, look for what you want, and possibly ask for suggestions, video rental. I’m not lamenting the passing of Blockbuster per se but, in a certain sense, I am. To the victor go the spoils and they were the last holdout of the video store model. They were the ones who ran it into the ground and continued jacking up the prices of fees whilst media prices dropped but it still ends with them.
BMFcast208 – All the Faxx
Traxx (1988) is the movie of the week. Shadoe Stevens plays the titular character who wants to leave his life of action and bake cookies instead. But since he sucks at that, he’s forced into cleaning up the worst town in the world to make some dough.
Second half we talk about The Wolf of Wall Street, 47 Ronin, The Great Gatsby and plenty more. Enjoy!
