quills

Join me and writer/producer Armando Chapman as these two former clerks reminisce about the old days. 

Remember the magic of walking into a Blockbuster on a Friday night? That familiar scent of popcorn, the neon blue and yellow signage, the rows upon rows of gleaming VHS tapes just waiting to be picked up and taken home for the weekend... this episode is our love letter to those golden days. We take you back in time, reminiscing about our memories from behind the counter as former Blockbuster employees, sharing the vibrant Friday nights where the weekend truly began for many movie lovers. We'll explore our personal experiences with the popular culture of the 90s, and the way Blockbuster shaped our love for movies.

Ever wondered how a mammoth like Blockbuster fell? We take a deep dive into the turbulent journey of this video rental giant, and discuss the effects of digital streaming platforms like Netflix, which played a significant role in its downfall. We'll also reflect on the impact this transition had on the movie industry as a whole. From the bustling aisles of Blockbuster to the comfort of streaming movies on our couch, we reflect on the drastic shift in our movie-watching habits.

Nostalgia enthusiasts, movie buffs and anyone looking for a trip down memory lane, this episode is for you. We discuss our fondness for the tangible aesthetics of video tapes, the charm of movie box covers, and the thrill of picking out a movie for the night. We also delve into the evolution of exploitation films and the recollections of our trips to Disneyland. So sit back, relax, and join us as we take you on a nostalgic journey to the bygone era of Blockbuster and the iconic films of the 90s.

The animal that Alex is talking about in this episode is known for its large quills that give them protection, but that’s not the only interesting thing about them. They have so many characteristics that make them unique from other animals. So, don’t come too close, because today we’re talking about one of Earth’s largest rodents: porcupines.
