Well, I meant the rental shop. The local movie nerds always had solid recommendations. :nerd_face: Sam Goody sure ain’t around anymore either though!

I must admit most rental shops around here died before Netflix became big. I think possibly Sky satalite TV killed them. They’ve got movie channels galore.
I refuse to pay for Netflix or sky. My wife does. She had pressure from the kids. I never gave in. But I do use it. Haha
