The Last Blockbuster

Blockbuster, once the nation's biggest video rental chain, has become an endangered species. A single brick and mortar store still exists in the town of Bend, Oregon. A new documentary on Netflix, "The Last Blockbuster", chronicles the life and times of the management and nostalgia of the store. We at VHQuest have a special episode for all of you, discussing the documentary and our own memories of Blockbuster and local video stores.

We highly recommend this documentary. To our listeners, please message us with your own experiences and memories of Blockbuster; endlessly browsing the shelves, checking out the staff picks, picking out the perfect candy, or maybe even dawning the blue polo for your first job. Fellow questers, we hope you enjoy this special episode of VHQuest!

Rob Joynes + Chris Hulsizer

VHQuest is back! This month we welcome back a seasoned quester, Rob Joynes, and the creator of the VHQuest logo, Chris Hulsizer. As we reminisce on the days of TapeGod, Rob shares some scores and finds, including the now cautionary tale of The Kid Who Ran for President. And Chris shares with us one of his favorite Oscar considerations. Questions arise like, how much would you pay for Edward Penishands? Would you buy tape bootlegs of new releases? Have YOU ever seen The Snurks? And a big thank you to the quester who helped fulfill Rob's quest request almost a year ago! It's all here on this episode of VHQuest!
