This is like Netflix squeezing gallons of lemon juice to the stab wounds of Blockbuster.

Glad to see Randall having success after Fresh off the Boat, First he joined the MCU and now he is in another sitcom and he is playing a leading man instead of a dad. He is suddenly playing a younger character. I think this is also his first time to have an interracial onscreen partner.

Feelings of long-ago happiness are revived. You might spend what felt like hours as a kid just wandering up and down the aisles, reading the back of every case to find something you really wanted to watch. It seemed like every time you went to the video store, you picked out at least five movies, but they'd only let you rent one. A film I borrowed in 2002, The Blair Witch Project VHS I rented, remains unreturned. That day of closure always crept up on me because I simply plain forgot.

I spent so much time at BlockBuster as a kid! Other streaming services are not interchangeable with Netflix. There was a certain magic about browsing the VHS (or DVD) shelves at the store and deciding on a movie to watch. You didn't have time to procrastinate because it was due back so soon. Also, there were the films you'd stumble upon unexpectedly, with names you'd never heard of, but which would quickly become some of your favorites. Having this available on Netflix is like striking gold. For those who may have forgotten, in the early 2000s, Netflix offered Blockbuster to buy them for $2 million. The CEO then mocked the company's originators. After years of dominating the streaming industry, Netflix eventually made Blockbuster obsolete and is now worth billions. It's proof that it's important to keep going after what you want.

Oh wow, I long for the days when Blockbuster was still around. On Saturdays, my dad, siblings, and I would go to Chuck-E Cheese, where there was a Blockbuster just next door, and we'd each get to choose a movie to watch. However, I was able to rent two items: a movie and a video game. Those were the golden years, for real. These modern kids will never know what they're missing out on.

Hey I just met you!
I cant relate because I am only 17. You guys seem to have a lot of nice memories. My Uncle regrets having VHS and DVD collection because they are now clutter on his house. Thanks to Netflix and iTunes, All I needed to be entertained is a TV, PC, a phone and blue tooth speaker.

In high school, I had a job at Blockbuster. Among the very greatest careers for a young person. When no supervisors are around, I get to go to the movies on the house. My experience working at Blockbuster was positive throughout high school, college, and beyond. It's a laid-back place to hang out and rent movies for free (five times a week).
