Video rental isn’t really something people talk about often these days, except if they are referring to it as something to do. But it’s always an “oh yeah, I used to do that when I was a kid, it was always good fun” and nothing more. It is strange to think about how an industry so popular can fade into memory so quickly. In the episode, Ruby and I talked about why renting should still be a thing people do. Our two main points were that video stores tend to have a much larger selection, and that you have the opportunity to see something you otherwise might never hear of through asking for recommendations. Talking about selection, we as a generation, if not a race, seem to have come to accept that the only movies we can watch are ones we already own or whatever is on Netlfix F Talk this month. This very much isn’t the case, considering our local store has around 20,000 movies to choose from at any given time, and that number is only going to go up. In fact, I have had a personal hand in increasing their library. All it took was a request for hit 00s movie Like Mike, in which actor/rapper Lil’ Bowow comes across a pair of Michael Jordan’s sneakers that get struck by lightning and then grant the wearer his basketball skills. I know, why wouldn’t they have it? Anyway, after the intense laughter had died down, the guy behind the desk, who also happened to be the store co-owner, immediately placed an order and I was watching in no time (about a week). Talk about service. 10 11 THANKYOU 12 13 .
