Tony with Newt and Crystal review The Last Blockbuster. In this Podcast / Movie Review of This documentary they'll talk about all the things that make it lame. Like the constant cutting to celebrities, the way its horribly structured, and how everyone its really just one big advertisement for Blockbuster merch.
The documentary tells the story of Blockbuster Video, a video rental business. The documentary explores how the video rental company put independent video rental stores out of business by striking deals with film studios. These deals, known as revenue-share deals, allowed Blockbuster to negotiate lower price than their local counterparts in exchange for a cut of the rental fees. Eventually the Blockbuster brand would crumble only leaving one store left in Bend, Oregon.

My mom and dad owned our town's first video store from 1980-1991 (yeah, my local mom & pops store was literally my mom & pop's). The "movies for mom and dad" section at their store was a pair of blue 3-inch 3-ring binders sitting on the front counter, which had flyers and sale sheets for each of the adult titles and when someone found a movie they wanted, they'd just point to its flyer and someone would go to the back and get the movie for them.

I used to work at a video store called Hastings. It lasted longer than Blockbuster. It was a video store, and bookstore, and music, and cool stuff. I was the video manager. We had movies that blockbuster wouldn't sale. We did have a small adult section. It was about 2 shelves of movies not behind a door. It was next to the musicals. I swear it was only kept around because one customer would buy 200 to 300 dollars in porn movies and porn magazines every Sunday. It was gross. It got to the point that managers would only check him out. Because of the stuff he would say while paying.

One of my first video store experiences was a pharmacy near my grandparents' house where you either told them what movie you wanted or you handed them the empty cover off the shelf and they gave it to you in a clear case if they had it-with both an actual video store and a Blockbuster nearby too. There was a store one town over from where we lived too when we first moved there, so that technically is the first experienced then in that case. The Blockbuster in the same town as the locally-owned one eventually was the only one left though and it was a regular stop on weekends for quite a while with us. Haha.

This "documentary" really could have been a 10 minute piece on Vice. It's hard to celebrate the same brand that killed all the mom and pop rental stores before meeting it's ultimate demise but I will say my local Blockbuster in Oxford, MS was the bomb. The front half was a regular ole Blockbuster while the back of the store was full of adult movies, odd horror movies, B, C, D- movies Even people would just put their own badly made home recorded movies on the shelf. You would find the most obscure shit in the back. And also fighting tooth and nail with your parents to get them to rent you N64 games looking at the box art on the shelf on display. Man good times.

Back in the day Blockbuster was the expensive video store. I think because it was one of the last "big name" video stores, people remember it more fondly than when it was around. My favorite video store was always this liquor store in town called Tailgaters. It had been a movie theater, a bowling alley, and even a grocery store before it was turned into a video store. Just one of the biggest, dingiest places you could find but the movie selection was huge and they had movie posters plastered everywhere. You could purchase the posters and movies too. They had video game rentals, system rentals, etc. It was located right next to a Chinese food take out place and a laundromat with Frogger and Aliens vs. Predator arcade machines. Family Video, Hometown Video. All sorts of places rented out VHS and video games back in the day. Blockbuster was a big place with a big selection but horrible pricing and awful late fees. The power of marketing is too kind to some old businesses when it comes to nostalgia and a wanting for "simpler" times.

@C01dEyes 3 года назад

I remember when I was a kid in the 90s there was a video store a few blocks from my house in California called video land. All the sections inside the store were actually themed. So if you wanted to get a horror movie you walked into this spooky looking haunted house that was covered in spiderwebs and had creepy sounds playing inside of it. If you wanted an adventure movie you had to walk into a cave and if you want to drama they had this area with a big theater marquee above it that you had to walk through. sadly Hollywood video took it over and then eventually block buster. They ripped out all the cool set pieces and turn it into a boring ass place right before.

I watched your review before watching the doc (Which I’m doing now) and I would have to disagree with your review so far. A lot of the complaints you have seem to be that you weren’t able to follow the narrative of the film. You have issue with Kevin Smith and others talking about renting “Bloodsucking Freaks” from Blockbuster as if they had. Misleading the audience is what I gathered from your commentary. He didn’t say he rented it from Blockbuster. He specifically said he rented a movie from a rental place. I’m not saying this is high art, but so far nothing about this documentary lines up with most of your issues.

Also I NEED an episode titled “talking about Newts” that’s just Newt stories. Please Señor Tony!

Blockbuster was the nazi of video rentals. I was glad they went under. You could rent movie for 49 cents at soundtrack before blockbuster bought them out. Then they would never forget your late fees. The unwritten rule of video rentals was that if you had late fees, you would have to pay them next time you showed up or you just never rent there again. Blockbuster would try to put that shit on your credit report.

You can play bullsh*t bingo with kevin smith interviews now - mark off these statements on a card when you hear them "This is my childhood man" (accompanied by teary eyes) "I felt like I was a kid again man!" (again accompanied by teary eyes) "I'm fuckin' there dude, tickets bought gonna be awesome" (in reference to the next crappy reboot - comicbook movie) "I know how the sausage is made and I still loved it!" (another reference to a crappy reboot etc) *random derogatory statement about yogahosers before others say it* *random derogatory statement about the Walrus movie before others say it* " I had a heart attack, did you know I had a heart attack? I had what's called a widow maker" "something about mallrats, I have to remind you about mallrats" "I was so baked" "I'm baked right now" "gonna get baked" "something something secret stash" *random Hollywood virtue signalling statement about feminism* "CW are awesome, love how they pay me money to show up and not direct" ANY OTHERS I MISSED?

I watched The Last Blockbuster. Don't waste your time. The interesting parts can be seen by watching the preview. It's a bunch of lame nostalgia stories from people you never heard of. Kevin Smith is in it for 5 minutres tops.

Charles Band should have been in the doc since him buddying up with Blockbuster got Full Moon Studios out of financial troubles back then.

I worked at an independent video store. First it was called "movie time," then "video time," and finally (when I worked there) "video 2000." Ironically, it was well after the year 2000 when I worked there. Funny that they'd settle on the most dated name possible...

My local mom and pop show had the best selection of movies. They had everything obscure you could possibly imagine. My friend had a fake ID so we would rent movies like Tracey of Death when were were 15 years old. Tracey of Death makes the Faces of Death movies look like Disney movies.

Aside from being a Blockbuster member I also frequented a video chain called 20/20 Video for the porn DVD's, I think 2009 was when I stopped renting movies.

Funny how different the East Coast vs West Coast was; 8 min in and Newt is saying how Blockbuster put Hollywood Video 9and others) out to pasture, I live in Southern Cal and Hollywood Video was the only one that went toe-to-toe with Blockbuster until the demise of all video stores

@@newtonwallen3210 yeah man! The discussions on this particular episode of rental stores and the like reminded me so much of stories my dad used to tell. He used to manage a number of theaters in NY, NJ, and PA. Many years ago he bumped into Bill Murray on the way into a pre-production meeting for Ghostbusters 2. My dad said, oh I didn't know they were making a second one, to which BM responded..."Neither did I."
