Do you remember the magic? The sheer excitement of a Friday night, walking through aisles packed with infinite adventures, all contained in chunky plastic cases. This was the golden age of the video shop.
Join us on a journey back in time to explore the rise and fall of a cultural giant: the British video rental store. From the charming, family-run shops of the early 80s to the unstoppable reign of the blue and yellow titan, Blockbuster, this is the story of how we used to watch movies.
We'll relive the Friday night ritual, the agony of late fees, the revolutionary arrival of the DVD, and the fateful business decision that sealed Blockbuster's fate forever. This is a tribute to a lost world of browsing, discovery, and the simple joy of being kind, and rewinding.
