In 2011, Blockbuster went bankrupt. So how is there is a Blockbuster operating in Bend, Oregon in 2021? The answer to that is complicated, but I attempt to untangle it by talking to Sandi Harding, the current manager of the last Blockbuster on the Planet. We discuss the rise and fall of video rentals, the documentary chronicling their unlikely fate, and how taking up knitting to relieve anxiety resulted in the need to make 600+ beanies in a month.
