Another big bumper episode – but this time it’s a break takedown with Miranda exploring one of the biggest relics of 90’s content consumption, Blockbuster!
When we think of Blockbuster’s demise, we think of netflix and streaming services being the reason for their bankruptcy, but as always, when you scratch the surface there’s always more to the story.
From refusing an offer of purchase from an early-stage-Netflix that would send shivers down any good capitalist’s spine, to an ad campaign that flat out lied to customers and landed them in court, this is a juicy one with an unexpected and uplifting ending – exit through the gift store!
Tangents include face swap apps, the excellence of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, and how during 2008-2013 we all risked jailtime by illegally downloading content via limewire and it is revealed that Kylie cannot do accents. Like at all.
