The problem is too many necessary subscriptions.
What the digital age has us all forgetting is the joy of the bricks and mortar movie hunt.
Sometimes the best adventures are the journeys themselves.
Physical action indeed helps to create memory.
Most households do have those and if not, old DVD players are easy to find.

it was a mission.

If youre a couple or in a squad it becomes a team building mission.

Did you have to pay a monthly fee to enter the video store?
You just paid for what you rented.
It was a fair deal, not geared to fleece you regularly like streaming platforms.

The video store wasnt about the movie.
Theres no guarantee any movie wont suck.
