1:16
Jim you remember a Blockbuster Video oh
1:18
yeah so there is a place in Bend Oregon
1:21
it's called the last
1:23
Blockbuster and I guess they have a
1:25
revolving tour that they take around the
1:27
country and it just so happens to be
1:29
here they have the Blockbuster
1:31
experience so we're going to get a
1:32
little nostalgic they got a whole store
1:34
built in yeah it's like walking in to
1:37
the era of Blockbuster we could rent a
1:39
movie no well it's made to look like you
1:42

1:44
to it either last year or two years ago
1:46
I lose track of time yeah but it was
1:48
pretty neat so I'm back did you see that
1:49
this is the greatest carnival on the
1:52

1:57
out I'm inviting you to to join me and

2:04
night was the opening night of the
2:05
greatest carnival on the planet the fair
2:07
here on Colonial Drive and Pine Hills
2:10
also open the same night as a strawberry
2:12
festival in Plant City last night so I
2:15
kind of wonder how do they decide which
2:17
attractions rides and things go to
2:19
either either or not too long of a line
2:22
right now it opened at 4 it's like 4:30
2:24
right now oh look at this they got the
2:25
Blockbuster sign oh yeah over here next
2:27
to where the turkey legs are
2:31
I got definitely got my fill of spinny
2:33
rides that make me nauseous yesterday so
2:35
I don't know I don't know how many we'll
2:36
do with those but play it by here the
2:38
you might get some fair food it's fair
2:40
to say we'll get some food here at the
2:42
carnival Fair take a look at this $15
2:45
you can get yourself a skin cap
2:47
right here right there old school like
2:49
Davey Crockett you go full Davey
2:51
Crockett right here in Central Florida
2:53
if you want think that's made from uh
2:55
real
2:56
racu or I think it's imitation imitation
3:05
maybe oh look at this you can even get a
3:05
badger cap or a mink oh wow oh wow all
3:10
right take a look over there there's
3:11
another Blockbuster sign right there
3:13
with the flags waving in the breeze as
3:15
well all the last time I was here it
3:16
might have been last year or the year
3:17
before again I've kind of lose all all
3:19
uh concept of time the last few years
3:23
but over where the arcade is across the
3:25
way from the Blockbuster popup the
3:27
Blockbuster experience was a haunted
3:29
attration even early on in springtime
3:32
they had a haunted attraction right now
3:34
it's a it's an arcade they got the
3:36
little tent set up outside it is a it is
3:40
a separate ticketed event so it's like
3:43
you have to purchase a ticket to go
3:44
inside the Blockbuster
3:48
experience yeah was it last year I was
3:50
here or was it the year before we last
3:52
year so I lose track of time so this is
3:54
the second year in a row you guys have
3:55
been here yeah and you had a few things
3:58
of Bert Reynolds and cannibal last year
4:00
but you have stepped up the game here
4:01
this year just a little bit just a
4:04
little bit is this all your stuff yeah
4:06
this is all your stuff okay and this is
4:08
really cool because even got the
4:10
Kodak sticker really when he goes un
4:13
must be some sort of hot time machine
4:16
yeah Dom Del lise's outfit yes he just
4:19
missed it was playing so the only issue
4:22
is I I think they got it dry clean but I
4:24
don't think it did a great job so it
4:26
kind of still smells like it was in
4:28
water it smells like Dom it smells like
4:30
1982 wet D oh was that the was that the
4:35
outfit that Dolly
4:36
wore no it was just a clue jacket they
4:44
gave that's great awesome filmed at
4:44
Universal Studios
4:46
Hollywood actually the house from that
4:49
was the same house from House of a
4:50
thousand ques so if you look in there we
4:53
own a like a quar square of the chicken
4:56
ring that was bir deed really yeah where
5:00

5:02
in the back on the left here yeah oh the
5:06
warranty deed yeah Bert Reynolds is on
5:09
the
5:10
loose pull
5:12
that that on the right this here look at
5:16
the boot sticking out oh the
5:18
boot that you want take it
5:21
out is this dollies turn it
5:25
around RF where that is from the movie
5:28
The Iron Claw that it's the r flare
5:30
outfit oh the problem is when we put it
5:33
out everybody wants to wear it okay and
5:36
it breaks my heart to say no and both
5:39
like all the little stuff is falling off
5:42
of it so so that's screen used prop
5:45
really and this is an original
5:48
Blockbuster
5:51
sign over here you got the B down here
5:56
and then you got of course Blockbuster
5:58
is synonymous back in the today with
6:01
VHS and also they have some stuff from
6:06
Brad classic80s film rad which is like
6:09
one of the best 80s BMX movies ever and
6:13

6:16
track uh fence right here and he's not
6:19

having one of these and this was a
9:42
rewinder you put the VHS in there you
9:44

13:02
interview later he didn't even want to

13:06
three what I always heard was when
13:08
Arnold did Kindergarten Cop wherever
13:11
that might be yeah he thought he needed
13:12
to do a comedy at the same time that
13:14
makes sense they were neck and neck with
13:17
their
13:18
movies wow best of the best I forgot

where there's been a '90s era well
13:52
basically a living room for the 9s has
13:54
been built back there really pretty
13:57
interesting how it was all constructed
13:58
and it's not even like real walls or
14:00
anything it's just like partitions and
14:02
like cloth that makes it look like
14:04
wallpaper and you know just looks like
14:07
it would have been decades ago when you
14:09
would sit around and watch TV and just
14:11
kind of kind of a neat little throwback
14:13

17:04
well they probably would cuz I've said
17:05
it before one of my favorite movies from
17:08
back in the day is
17:10
Beaches Wind Beneath My Wings the song
17:12
by B Midler was in that film Barbara
17:15

17:21
Kevin

Bacon but I'm not I'm not talking about
17:24
Kevin Bacon I'm talking about other
17:25
people you got the The
17:27
Majestic oh that's a good
17:29
which is the third movie by the director
17:31
that did sha Shank Redemption he did
17:34
Green Mile and then Majestic that was
17:36
the the third
17:39
one out of order out of order this whole
17:44
block bus is out of order that's a video
17:46
video head cleaner right there I ended
17:48
up buying this hat for $12 a beind
17:51
rewind Blockbuster hat $12 well spent I
17:54
also asked if anything is for sale and
17:56
they said whether it was a DVD a Blu-ray
17:58
VHS double box set whatever it was each
18:02
title is exactly $5 without any
18:05
additional price added on to it based on
18:08
the format so if you want a VHS DVD any
18:10
of that $5 total price anything on any
18:14
of the shelves $5 you buy four thing buy
18:16
four VHS 20 bucks four DVDs 20 bucks not

18:27
sure as the time goes on the
18:29
the the amount of titles will probably
18:31
diminish quite a bit just asked if they
18:33

19:36
life good the double double five bucks

19:59
Cameo there was that weird Arrow where
20:02
there was VHS and DVD they were holding
20:05
out they were holding out even though
20:07
DVDs were in they're still a little
20:09
section Father of the Bride I think was
20:11
probably 88 so still Prime VHS time I
20:14
don't know what year that was I'm going
20:15
to guess probably
20:17
88 when would you say VHS is really
20:20
fizzled out 93 or 4 no that was way
20:24
later than that they were hanging in
20:26
there that long yeah probably 9 7 okay
20:30
maybe okay trying to think when I worked
20:32
at the video store and it was still
20:34
VHS yeah probably 90 yeah 96 is H HOA
20:41

21:00
yeah so
21:02
good League of Their Own
21:04
punchline wow remember that one no so
21:07
it's basically Tom hes playing playing a
21:09
standup and even more far-fetched than
21:11
that Sally Field playing a stand up
21:16
really I but you know what it's bold
21:20
sneaky and Brilliant it's classic
21:23
Lithgow 80s HBO Cannon film The Deadly
21:27
game I would imagine I don't know what
21:29
these are worth but some of these got to
21:31
be worth more than five bucks like this
21:34
one's probably worth like two bucks cuz
21:35
there's so many of them but this has got
21:37
to probably be worth more than five
21:40
so and there's a lot of VHS in
21:47
here I'm kind of jealous you have an
21:47
active VHS player I don't even have one
21:49

21:54
classic bald
21:56
one talking about that yep it's not a
22:08
tumor love it love it Cliffhanger man
22:08
that that movie scarred me the beginning
22:10
of that and then they redid it in Ace
22:13
vure Pet Detective 2 when he's like
22:15
holding on to the the
22:21
raccoon this is kind of a weird mixup
22:21
Camp Nowhere and the secret of the Lost
22:24
legend Camp Nowhere had Chris Lloyd
22:28
played Doc Brown and Tom Wilson who
22:30
played Biff they are in this together

22:34
same movie The not a back to the future

Blockbuster didn't start till the '90s I
26:21
started Renning movies in 1985 in nville
26:24
Florida and I didn't even have a VCR my
26:26
family didn't have a VCR so I'd have
26:27
been 11 12 years old my dad and I on a
26:29
Friday night would go rent like six
26:31
movies I think for 10 bucks or six
26:33
movies for six bucks and then we'd rent
26:35
the VCR and there would be like a there
26:37
would be like a like a tree stand like a
26:39
metal tree stand like I say like a stand
26:42
made out of metal with little hooks on
26:43
it and you'd have the plastic casing
26:46
around the VCR and you rent that it
26:48
would tell you how to cook it up to your
26:49
TV I got inspired I'm going to get
26:50
another snack I'm going to get some
26:51
Reese's Pieces not going to get ET but
26:54

26:57
heading out
26:58
calling it a night all right going to
27:02
start heading out now I think Nightfall
27:04
has definitely reared its head also a
27:06
lot of people show it up now there
27:07
wasn't really a lot of people here until
27:09
way later in the evening extremely later
27:11
in the evening now there's a steady flow
27:13
of
27:14
people here at the greatest carnival on
27:16
the planet a little Nostalgia at
27:19
Blockbuster I made it a blockbuster
27:21
night got the Blockbuster hat for me the
27:25
VHS generation in my memories little
27:28
pre- Blockbuster even though I did go to
27:30
Blockbuster a lot I worked at another
27:32
video store that was independent video
27:34
store way after uh the VHS times when me
27:39
and my family living in nille Florida
27:40
and 85 86 would r v VCRs and and all
27:44
that but there were quite a few other
27:46
places than Blockbusters but it is
27:48
interesting how Blockbuster really was
27:49
the is the one that everyone kind of
27:51
latches onto out of the the Cavalcade of
27:55
different video stores
27:58
nonetheless it was a good night I'll see
28:00
you in the next
