This three-hour-long (and very thorough) documentary by director Alex Ross Perry (Listen Up Philip, Pavements) explores the entire history of the video store in history and in media. Included herein: the inception of the VHS, the first rental systems, the first depicitons of video stores in movies and television, our cultural idea of the video store clerk, the rise of the rental chains, the proliferation of adult films, the proliferation of Troma films, the rise of streaming, the “death” of the video rental shop, and everything in-between.
