The Rise and Fall of Blockbuster Video's Last VHS Rental
from Throwback
Before Netflix, before streaming, there was the Friday night pilgrimage to Blockbuster. We dive deep into the blue-and-yellow empire that defined home entertainment for a generation, following the unexpected journey of the very last VHS tape to leave a Blockbuster shelf—a scratched copy of 'The Godfather' rented in Hawaii. From late fees to be-kind-rewind stickers, this is the story of how we used to watch movies.
