In the 90’s and early 2000’s Blockbuster dominated the movie rental market with over 45 million customers. But by 2010 the company was forced to file for bankruptcy. And today, there’s only one physical location left standing. This week we dive into how the video rental giant went from “let’s make it a Blockbuster night” to “not a Blockbuster in sight,” and then as always, we pitch how we would revamp the brand for today.

Challengers: Zendaya & Ménage à Churros with Amber Wallin

When American Idol first premiered in the June 2002 it quickly became a surprise summer hit. That September, over 23 million people turned in to the season finale as Kelly Clarkson was crowned our first American Idol. But after 22 seasons, today's Idol's viewership pales by comparison. The most recent February 2024 premiere clocked in with just 4 million viewers. And despite many reboots, network changes and rotating judges, the most recent winners have failed to make their mark. This week we dig into American Idol history including some of the famous, infamous and forgettable contestants and then as usual each pitch how we'd fix the show for today.
