Do you remember Video Stores? We sure do - because we’re old as F@%$. They used to be everywhere, a ubiquitous strip mall fixture purveying all manner of niche movie titles in every genre, rented in a format known as a “videocassette” tape that you could take home and play in your VCR machine. This was back in the 80s and 90s when physical media was how we consumed our entertainment, when giant homogeneous corporations finally squeezed out the Mom ‘N Pop stores and killed all the joy in life with nothing but New Releases. But their hubris would be their undoing, as a Jetson-like future of streaming technology and à la carte on-demand choice finally became reality and killed the scrappy video store for good. Once a bustling weekend hub of every neighborhood, the video store is now a faded legend of the distant past. And we salute them all.
