  • One of Canada's last movie rental stores starts GoFundMe to stay open

    From August Abolins@1:153/757 to All on Fri Mar 4 07:23:52 2022
    " After surviving more than four decades, a local movie rental store is struggling to survive as costs surge, and streaming services take over.

    " Joe French took over Movie World in Stony Plain in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic after always wanting to own a movie rental shop. The shop sells and rents VHS, Blue-ray, DVD, and 4K while also selling video games and collectibles.

    Is anyone watching it? I'm on the fence after the first episode. Didn't
    play the game. Interesting alt-world vibes.

    Never heard of the series or the game. The series seems to have been released just a couple days ago? The trailer looks interesting. It's a Nolan and Joy project. Joy was involved with envisioning the Westworld series - I liked that. Nolan has a good reputation, and I'm reading that he's involved with the first 3 episodes.

    Not yet, but I intend to. I'm a Fallout fanboy, going back to the original Fallout on 8-bit. I quite enjoyed the Nuka Break web series.
