A wonderful glimpse at a bygone era
18 April 2021
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.
