Episode description
If you're of a certain age, you probably have fond memories of going to the video rental store and picking up a blocky VHS from the shelf in hopes that you could watch it for movie night. But times change, and a little thing called the Internet revolutionized the way we get our movies. This episode is all about the rise and demise of Blockbuster, all the missteps they took in the early 2000s, and how a startup called Netflix got their dominance in the modern movie-watching person's mind. So, enjoy!
