Shownotes Transcript

In this week's Lambie, Tess takes us through all the history and nostalgia for us Millennials that was the one and only, Blockbuster. From their strong and iconic start, to their tragic fate, to how Netflix effected the entire company, we cover the smells, the cards (and keychains), the candy, the posters, and of course what everyone would dread...when that one VHS was broken. Be kind, rewind, and let's pretend it's 2001 again.
