I do not understand the nostalgia boners for Blockbuster... It would be like celebrating the heritage of Wal-Mart a decade after Amazon puts it out of business. Video stores? Sure. But don’t forget how Blockbuster knee capped many local indie stores with better selections.

Burton’s BATMAN literally marks the birth of the modern day media conglomerate (only possible with the Time Warner merger) and superhero synergy (showcased the importance of licensing and ancillary markets). Every studio followed suit after. I spend a week on it each semester.

Season 2 of GLOW is top notch. The Welfare Queen episode hits all the feels, the 8th episode does a great job of sending up pop culture of the 80s (its literally just an episode of the show within the show - complete with commercials and PSAs). Good shit.
