Netflix is releasing a documentary about the last Blockbuster and everyone pointed out how mean that is

We’re getting a documentary soon about the last Blockbuster, according to Hypebeast, and that sounds pretty cool!

Blockbuster was a staple for so many folks’ childhoods in the 90’s. That was the spot every weekend — whether you were trying to get a new movie to watch or find a good video game or just wanted to hang. It was truly an era.

So it’ll be cool to hear about its rise and subsequent fall after the streaming era. But that’s the wild part about all of this — the streaming era is what ended Blockbuster.

That’s why it’s so wild that Netflix is putting this documentary together.

Yes, that’s right. The same Netflix that is one of the leaders that ushered in the streaming era that ended Blockbuster is releasing a documentary about the business that it ended. Again, THAT’S WILD.

People everywhere pointed this out and said it was so mean.
