    • Quotes

      Jared Rasic: Video stores and movie theaters have always kind of felt like my church. They always felt like the place where I go to feel the most, like, the calm, the normal human being that I've always wanted to be, but I'm too weird to ever get there. But I walk into the video store and I'm like, "Oh. This is where I'm normal."

    A wonderful glimpse at a bygone era
    Much like the documentary "All Things Must Pass"-which showcased the rise and fall of the Towers Records franchise, this is a heartwarming look at the home-video era that predated streaming.

    I'd suspect most who watch this, are of a certain age, where they recall how iconic and seemingly too big to fail, these businesses seemed.

    I thought it did a fairly good job of explaining why Blockbuster stores were the Goliaths of the era, and how the downfall invariably occurred.

    I also enjoyed the personal anecdotes surrounding the town of Bend, and the store's long-time manager Sandi.

    It's a lighthearted sentimental journey, that was told in an engaging manner-save for a few annoying talking heads.
