Blockbuster Deconstructed: Recent Episodes
Steffanie Peevers
In this podcast, 3 former video store employees talk about the Netflix show "Blockbuster." It is partially an episode by episode review, and partially a look into our nostalgia from the good old days of working in a video store! If you ever worked in a video store, or you have fond memories of Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, or another video store, this podcast is for you!
Hosts Steffanie and John discuss the final episode of Netflix's "Blockbuster". Steffanie was impressed. John, not quite so much! Come listen to us discuss plot, casting, and have interesting little tangents like Oscar night predictions! It's been really fun, guys!
While editing our final Blockbuster show review (Episode 10, S*it Storm), John and I spent a lot of time talking about Breaking Bad! I decided to pull it out of the show and make it a bonus episode. And why wait to put it out? If there is ever a chance to talk about Jesse Pinkman, that chance must be taken-immediately! Please do not listen unless you have seen Breaking Bad. If you haven't, go watch it now, and then come back to listen!

In this episode of Blockbuster deconstructed, we flip it around a little and don't talk about the episode 3 "Evan and Trevin" until the last half of the podcast. The first half is a story of robbery and a video store manager's personal trauma. It is heartfelt and interesting. At minute 31, we start focusing primarily on Episode 3 of Netflix's "Blockbuster." Thank you Garrett, for joining John and Steffanie for this episode!
