Ex-Rental (2019)

Short documentary that explores three australian video rental stores, all in different stages of operation - one closed for good (CIVIC), one about to close / liquidation (Blockbuster) and the other one (Video Ezy) still fighting to stay alive. Sad to discover that Video Ezy didn't survive Covid and became defunct in 2021. Sound quality on the interviews wasn't the best (specially on CIVIC and Blockbuster), but hey, it was worth the shot. Some really relevant takes on what made streaming platforms so widely accepted: it's not content related, but a matter of easy accessibility. You can be on a bus, on an airplane or tucked at your bed at night, one smartphone or tablet away from it. You just can't fight that. Available for free here.
