These days, we are living in a time where there is only one remaining Blockbuster, a sobering fact that would have probably felt like fiction if any of the Roseanne characters had been given a heads up on what the future would entail for movie rentals back in the ’90s.
Given the popularity of projects like Captain Marvel (which has its own Blockbuster moment) and the documentary The Last Blockbuster it’s no surprise a throwback conversation of this ilk has now come up in a show like The Conners as well.
The clip is actually pretty timely, given there’s been a lot of Blockbuster nostalgia lately and I’m totally remembering the era where movies had to play across multiple DVDs (or VHS tapes, if you want to go back even further).
