For most of the country, it has been years since anyone went to a video store to rent a movie. Thanks to streaming, businesses like Blockbuster have become a thing of the past; except for in Bend, Oregon where the last remaining Blockbuster store is still operating.
Now, after helping to end the company, Netflix has announced they will be releasing a documentary about the last remaining Blockbuster store.
"The Last Blockbuster" includes interviews with fans and employees of the Oregon Blockbuster location, along with people in the industry giving viewers a nostalgic look at the iconic store.
“A lot of people know that Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix early on and they passed on the opportunity. In an ironic twist of fate, our movie 'The Last Blockbuster' is coming to Netflix one week from today," a post on the documentary's Facebook page reads.
"We are beyond excited for people to get to see this tribute to era of home video on the world’s largest streaming service. Just don't forget to rewind it when you're done watching it and bring it back by noon on Wednesday," the post continues.
The documentary is set to be available on Netflix starting March 15, according to NME. There have been many stories written about the last remaining Blockbuster store over the years, and now fans will get the chance to see what keeps it going.
Recently, the world's last remaining Blockbuster video store was transformed into an Airbnb experience for enthusiastic guests. Those who partook were able to access a pull-out couch, a TV, and access to the store's titles.
