Oh, that's insane. Just go on like a raid every theater in the United States. I didn't raid them. That's really funny. I would have flipped out having that kind of power behind me. The other thing I remember from the video store, we couldn't get... So we get into this later on, I think, but... In New Zealand, the non-Blockbuster stores had adults-only sections.

So Blockbuster never had that, apparently. Yeah, there was not. But Video Easy and United Video, they had beads, often, or like a little curtain, and that was where all the pornography was. I never went in there because I was a good Christian child. But my go-around, and I don't know if you had this in America, but there was an erotic section. And erotic wasn't porn, it was like the sexy thrillers.

And the other section I remember that sort of scarred me a little bit was there was like a documentary section and always in there, there was a series of like... R-18 tapes, and I think there it says R for you in America. It's just R. But it was like extreme gore, or like autopsy. It was like shock videos, and they always stock those, which I found very unusual.

No gore at Blockbuster. No gore, no porn.

Did you ever... Did you get stuff from there?

Did you ever... Did you get stuff from there?

Yeah, right. So just the shocking kind of underground stuff that was officially released but wasn't allowed in bigger stores.

Yeah, right. So just the shocking kind of underground stuff that was officially released but wasn't allowed in bigger stores.

You mean the layout on the screen of the streamer?

You mean the layout on the screen of the streamer?

I always feel like it's the opposite. I feel like when I'm looking on streaming, it feels like an endless scroll. Whereas my memory of a video store was you would be an end, like a physical end to the aisle. And you felt like I've done that aisle. I know it's all there. Whereas I feel with Netflix, sometimes I'm like, and it's always shifting.
