Apr 29, 2021 Season 1 Episode 66
Jennie + Amye

Join us as we rewind to the glory days of video rental in our coverage of Netflix's 2020 Documentary: The Last Blockbuster. The story centers around the "Blockbuster Mom," Sandi, and her dedication to the lone surviving Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon. We meet a supporting cast of D-list celebrities, all of whom Jennie dislikes, and are mostly men. They reminisce about the sounds and smells of local Blockbusters, while telling the story of the video chain's slow death. Amye relives the trauma of splitting her pants on her very first day of work, Jennie remembers taking apart old computers, and Amye's annoying dog makes an appearance.
