Save Crystal Host Reminisces About Blockbuster And Rental Exclusives

April 14, 2021 by Chris Johnston

I haven’t yet watched The Last Blockbuster, a documentary about the rise/fall of Blockbuster Video and the last store standing in Bend, OR (trailer embedded below—it’s available to stream on Netflix). But podcaster Justin Kern uses it as a jumping-off point for this episode of Save Crystal to reminisce about rental stores and the experience of renting games as well as the handful of rental store chain exclusive games that came to consoles in the late ’90s.
