ICYMI - Blockbuster Lives!

We lost Indians 37. Podcasts are always on him. I'm new schedule and WA AF. With the whole hubbub with the blockbuster well here's the thing. Let's get into let's get it why wait. Blockbuster video rental stores which I'd miss can I just put that out there. So if I missed only to the video do you subscribe to my theory that they're gonna come back that they will make a comeback in this country I don't know if it's gonna be blockbuster I think brick and mortar video stores. Will make a comeback I was going to them. Terribly I would go to. West Coast video Hollywood video of the blockbuster video Weymouth every time I come home for a weekend visit my parents all the way up until they shattered a couple of years ago. When I lived in Brooklyn. Too it's the last day but it's high. With its final copy of I hired to rented or whatever the hell else. Was in there years ago I would go to this. Little video storm Flatbush avenue Brooklyn. And I could there was bloody available on demand just like going in looking at movies I miss the experience I can do I've just shopping. For a film the. There's also there's always a little panic and danger in light is. What I want going to be there is going to be available. So you try to rush it certain time ever I knew. Ot Saturday night and eleven or ten it's not going to be there when I want right notified on love that I should do and yeah. The attic and a plan and not as exciting did the AVG's debt to call ahead and try to put your video on reserve that's. Arm and the Owens. Green birth came out on. When did death I wanted to see it's still bad I say that my money went down there and I'm a ride to go on a lift. See a movie was that special to me because. I can't be honest. I'm already bored with the liked the on demand life it's not nothing. Nothing is great now listen is Korea. We're taking away from Christmas shopping does is it a what is it you want button press talks to the credit card come out there goes the money right the whole like like I need to go back like my parents and like. Literally fight people for laser tags and Cabbage Patch Kids thirty years ago but at the same time. When you have. It's what makes going out to eat I would say or sporting events the last bastion of special communal events because. If a certain place makes your favorite kind of pastry they only make so many every day you better get there early otherwise they're gonna be gone this restaurant is so good. Make this not on demand for that will see this is the point is that. We do these things in technology gives us these. Fast access to things. But people are always gonna want to do it the way they wanna do it for example look no further than radio where we sit right here right now. Fifteen years ago little more than fifteen years ago I was at a morning show conference. And they got on the stage as saying radio is dead within three to five years it's over satellite Syria it's done. It's because of satellite radio to be no more FM stations are a number and one other guy said I think people are always gonna want to live local. Morning shows and afternoons are no god to god and I was on the trending you know media was saying that that radios dad. And look at records vinyl is dead but now files made a huge comeback Jack White just opened up on vinyl pressing company. So I last year was the first year I think even many that final outsold right to compact disks right so I think it's that people want. Tactile access to things. You know we think we want the immediacy and then after a few years of not dealing whether human beings and being in camels Aguilera and and it and you miss that the experience of going out to store whole newspapers look at newspapers yes they're dying but there's a percentage of people that wanna hold that paper in their hand they don't want to read on the computer. Now they still won actually have the tactile experience I can see that coming back through the newspaper I can see that may be it a critical miss some of them still. Like you could have copied the day. Eight it'll become a much more niece oriented business but in terms of having a play three in communal and select from it talk to other people about it I supposed to just. I'm home somebody brought me my food that you seamless are used Yelp and now just use on demand or go on Netflix. It isolates us too much and we know for a fact that's just not good for area. What if real what if you could I always think about this what if when movies came out to that they as you can order them right on your TV. Now that I would do and our people you hands and you can't know all yes I know until I realized there's a certain areas of sexual love there is a section of on demand that has movies in theaters but it's not like I've done every movie and day I don't go get it you couldn't get. Well this vetoed there's video there's on they're on demand films. But there's also films it released same day and Peter you get the dvd and lyrics have done those deals like same day command reorganize your wallet and lower look at that well earlier but like I'm not safe for example like tonight are.

It's doing really well blockbuster is there are ten franchise owned blockbuster stores that still exists the US nick and more than half of them are in Alaska while one. May imagine that they would be driving in Alaska because a I imagine the Internet is that could out there and two birdies right out and be.

Many of site themselves old school types who like to go to stores meet the people. They on VHS players to enjoy the routine of renting videos for less than a dollar debit.
