ever watched Desperate Housewives at Beverly Hills? Have you forgotten how to scratch yourself?

10
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.640
If so, talk to your doctor, because you could be one of

11
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.399
the ten million men suffering in silence
from a condition known as manopause. Manopause

12
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.200
afflicts men over the age of forty
and men who are married, and is

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.679
one of the leading causes of depression, loss of manliness, and the popularity

14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:02.359
of movies starting Channing Tatum. But
there is hoped girly mandi more girly manimor

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.680

increase manliness. Talk to your doctor and

saying, no, is that in
a video game? As a matter of

31
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.080
fact, No, it's not.

34
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.960
a year, so be birthday,
naughty boy. My mom gave me a

35
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.400
certificate to get a massage, and
she said, ask for a Swedish massage

36
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.560
and shows a said to get a
facial because I'm really breaking out now.

37
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.560
I have a serum of a facial
that it'll make you, make you smell

38
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.039
a little bit like bleach, but
it's going to clear up all those blemishes

39
00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:01.159
and give you silky smooth skin like
a goat testicle. If you're following me,

40
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.800
Kipper, now, yes, we
have several Swedish rubdowns and facials.

41
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:14.400
Hans is one of our greatest facial
experts of all times. He will spew

42
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:21.280

a liquid that will warm you and moisturize

43
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.840

46
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:47.120
That doesn't sound right, Kipper,
just like the Kink's song Shut your

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.360
dirty mouth. Then we also have
the hippoty bippity boppity d for forty nine

Because your dad's been here plenty of
times. He sat on my face

58
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.560
like I was a brand new toaster. I'm kidding out of here. It's

59
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.480

69
00:05:54.360 --> 00:06:01.480
that once doubled as Lemmy from Motorhead
and opened for when Am covering Poison with

70
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:06.040
the song talk Dirty to Me.
He once broke the record that Tasty Freeze

71
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.079
for drinking in extra large shake and
all three flavors, three hot dog stew

72
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.600
Burghers, twelve orders of fries and
under seven point six nine minutes. But

73
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:21.839
we here at Back to the Eighties
call him the Chang that is right,

74
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.759
The rang of the Chang bell is
here. There is no other way to

75
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.319
bring in back to the eighties with
Tascano, with changwin out. The ringing

76
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.560
of the bell, right, Giscano, doesn't not remind you of your wrestling

77
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:42.319
days in high school when they would
be declaring your name, weighing in at

78
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:48.399
a beautiful one hundred ninety two pounds
of here Italian Mexican steal the boodle,

79
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:55.920
total of them all? L Tascano, did you not get your pants wet

80
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.920
when you heard the bell? I
know, I did, I know,

81
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.160
I did. Well, I don't
know because I wasn't on the wrestling team,

82
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.680
but I was on the baseball and
soccer team. So whatever you're bursting

83
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.519
my bubble, that's okay. I
I was picturing you in a restling out

84
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:17.839
no no wait to listen with some
wham shorts underneath this choose live and you

85
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:25.800
were going to choose victory, and
I myself was fandangling a metal chick in

86
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.040
the restroom pretending I was Axel Rose. Well, we've got a great show

87
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.800
for you today, so thank you
for joining us as we dive into the

88
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.279
memories of what it was like to
rent movies. That for today is what

89
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.399
we're going to be talking about.

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:35.480
listening to Chang. You don't know
the power back to the eighties. Welcome

98
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.320
back to back to the eighties with
Tuscan Chang. You are on the hang

99
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:46.679
with a couple of idiots and we
are talking tonight some of the greatest rentals

100
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.639
back in the eighties. We're gonna
talk snacks, movies, cuddle positions,

101
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.759
blankets, everything you can name.
If you can recall those days now,

102
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:03.919
Tuscano, what was one of your
fondest moments when you and missus Tiscano,

103
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:11.519
we're snuggling with one of your best
movie rentals that got you guys kind of

104
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.720
snuggly and lovey but yet scared.
Well you keep in mind, I didn't

105
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.759
mean missus Tiscano until nineteen ninety five, so that was okay. Well,

106
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.399
well, let's let's just pretend you're
back in the eighties. So it's son

107
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.639
of a Monk. So let me
paint this picture for you and for everybody

108
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.279
listening, because we are going to
be talking about movie renting. It's Friday

109
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.240
evening. You're tired of all day
being at school or at work. This

110
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.159
is the eighties. You got to
remember this. You've been looking forward to

111
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.000
tonight because you've invited either some friends
over, or your girlfriend or your boyfriend.

112
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.919
Maybe it's just you by yourself,
I don't know. So you go

113
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.799
over to the video store, either
on your bike or you're driving, or

114
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.120
if you're not doing any of those, maybe your parents are driving you and

115
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.639
you go with your your siblings.
Now, maybe you don't have a Blockbuster

116
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.879
or a Hollywood video because maybe it's
in the early eighties and the giant stores

117
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.360
don't exist yet. Better yet,
you drive up or get close to the

118
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.679
front doors. Once you're there,
you notice that there's a lot of people

119
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.879
in there already. You start getting
nervous even before you go inside, because

120
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.120
in your mind you think everyone there
is going to rent your movie. As

121
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.960
you open the door, you start
hearing the chatter of people as they're deciding

122
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.840
in what they're in the mood to
watch, and you and your group split

123
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.679
up to see what else is new. You head on over to that area

124
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.279
where you think your movie is and
there you see it from a few steps

125
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.320
away, the movie cover it's there, and you see there's a clear plastic

126
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.360
case behind it with your selection.
And maybe you walk up and you can't

127
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.240
find the right movie and head down
the aisland start browsing one by one.

128
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.440
You can hear the cash right just
chime in every ten seconds because it seems

129
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.519
that the line is so long,
and now chang my buddy, here we

130
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.679
go. Movie posters are lit up
everywhere. For a second, if we

131
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.240
all think a few moments and just
even close your eyes and you think about

132
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.360
that scene. What was it that
made it so exciting for utuine to rent

133
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.720
movies? Oh? And just going
there and remember you pulling up and you

134
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.279
see all the lights and it was
very reminiscent of going to your old school

135
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.120
walk in theaters at your neighborhood.
Remember you see the paint, the red,

136
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.120
the yellow, the blue, sometimes
green light and everything just stands out

137
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.120
in Neon. Man, I recall
rolling up to one of my favorite movie

138
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.000
houses, which was called a movie
shack, and that was back in with

139
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.279
your California. Now that was a
big place, right, wasn't that a

140
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.519
big place? Yeah, dude,
that was a huge place. As a

141
00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:00.200
matter of fact, before a lot
of our well known movie rental companies him

142
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:01.399
out. I used to go to
this place, man, and I would

143
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.879
take my chick, or i'd go
my buddy Eeser, or you know,

144
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.879
i'd rent a movie because I became
apparent really young, and I would go

145
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.720
to this place and these cats would
be the dude. They had hot dogs

146
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:20.200
spinning on a rotistory. So you
will really now see that's nice. That's

147
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.519
a nice movie round. I'm telling
you. Man. If I went in

148
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.000
Stone, I had three dogs,
two bags of popcorn, and I rented

149
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.799
movies that like I was going to
pay extra on Monday. But like the

150
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.720
lights captivated you captivated me. You
know. The posters had like the Christmins

151
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.919
lights around him. It was very
reminiscent of going into a theater. It

152
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.679
was very inviting. The smell.
You walk in and you hear that that

153
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.600
ring, and there was a guy
right there, you know, with that

154
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.440
kind of he had at the time
the movie shot. This cat would greet

155
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.399
you at the door, right and
he would give you a free uh,

156
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.279
a small cup of opcorn so you
could browse. And he had like a

157
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.679
black vest trimmed out with blue,
some kind of quirky hat. And you

158
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.240
just immediately as you walked in,
you got the vibe of being in the

159
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.399
theater. And I think that's one
thing most of the movie houses that bestowed

160
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.879
our attention back in the eighties,
which really drew us to it, similar

161
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:30.440
to the arcade, because it's all
about the bright light, that spontaneous feeling,

162
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.120
that pop you get when you walk
in. Everything is bright, your

163
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.000
eyes open up. It's you know, back in the eighties, going into

164
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.200
a movie rental place was the same
experience as something captivating. You know you

165
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.399
were going to have a good time. It was warming. They were already

166
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.440
setting up the vibe to set up
your evening. There's three things that I

167
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:58.559
remember that everybody liked going to see
movies because one of them was you felt

168
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.200
like you had a movie theater in
your home. I mean, that was

169
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.679
one of the biggest pluses. And
then not only that, you could watch

170
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.120
it more than one time, and
you could watch it with your friends and

171
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.080
just anybody that you wanted to be
in there. Back in the eighties,

172
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.799
you'll recall, even the late seventies, there was a war between two formats,

173
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:24.600
and that was VHS and Beta Max. Beta Max was a lot more

174
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.679
expensive of a machine, the tape
was smaller. The main issue. The

175
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.080
main problem with Beta Max was that
it didn't record more than an hour,

176
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.679
unlike VHS where you can do those
extended recordings, and so VHS ended up

177
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.519
winning, even though Beta, if
you recall, was a better picture.

178
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.639
You remember those VCRs that first came
out, those ginormous VCRs that you can

179
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.399
set them on top of a console, and they weighed like thirty forty pounds.

180
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.240
You remember how you would press ejected. It would take forever. So

181
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.120
if you were watching Porno when your
parents came home, it wouldn't get out

182
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.399
quick enough and your dad would be
like, what is this, Jebbie just

183
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.399
Dallas. Now. Once that war
was over and everybody got stuck with VHS,

184
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.639
you'll remember in the beginning we had
the mom and pop video shops,

185
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.720
the smaller shops, and those were
fantastic. Two But for those of you

186
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.639
who don't remember, movie reynolds were
only for a day, one day,

187
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.639
and they were usually around three to
five dollars a movie. Oh dude,

188
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.720
yeah, easily, easily. Bro. Now you brought up a fine point

189
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.759
with the battles that we dealt with
Beta and VHS. Now, remember brother,

190
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.679
VHS we could rent for about two
to three dollars, okay, per

191
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:52.279
night. Beta used to cost us
between four and five dollars, but they

192
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.720
would throw in a night and a
half. But yet, remember with the

193
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.320
Beta we got a clear picture,
but it always seemed to be a little

194
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.519
bit smaller than the VH. So
they got us on price because of quality.

195
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.600
I mean, you could see pretty
much everything clearer on Beta than you

196
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.399
did on VHS. Do you remember
when you would rent a movie and it

197
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.639
would suck and you would get the
white lines or it would skip or like

198
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.039
would hold and you would be like
what the yeah? And also certain you

199
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:26.240
know VCRs they had the little the
little knob or the little wheel that said

200
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.279
tracking and you could fix it.
But if it didn't have that little knob

201
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.399
or wheel. You were screwed.
Oh, yes, you're screwed. You're

202
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.080
Scol's interesting. So you'd go into
the to the movie rental place, you'd

203
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.480
get stuck with only one day.
But we were still happy and we're excited.

204
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.519
We were happy. And of course, you know at the very beginning,

205
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.519
there was only one copy of each
movie in the beginning, so if

206
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.720
you went there and there were two
three people in line, they could and

207
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.519
they asked if this happened. Many
times you're waiting in line to ask if

208
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.200
your movies there, the person in
front of you asked for it. They

209
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.960
got it before you do, and
you want to exactly and you wanted to

210
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.440
punch him out. They get it, and then you don't, and they

211
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.720
were like, oh, and then
you're looking at those people they walk out

212
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.960
in your life. I could take
that guy. I can get his ass

213
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.559
before he goes out the car.
Or is that just me? Is that

214
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.720
the way I thought? No?
Yeah, I remember, I felt horrendous.

215
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.359
But you gotta remember me in the
early eighties, I was I was

216
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.920
just a kid, you know,
in eighty two, I was only ten

217
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.559
years old. But my cousin,
Yeah, so My cousin used to take

218
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.200
me to video rental places all the
time. When I used to spend summers

219
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:37.559
in Alhambra with him, shout out
to everybody. But you know what,

220
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.599
we had the greatest of times because
we would get our snacks. There was

221
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:48.160
always that Jiffy popcorn, the one
that had that the aluminium. It was

222
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.839
like an aluminum plate with the cover. Put it over the stove and then

223
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.119
it starts popping. But sometimes your
hand goes a little too close to the

224
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.799
dish and you'd burn yourself. Remember
that. Oh yeah, oh Jiffy popper,

225
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:02.920
Now I remember that crap. Yeah. Hey, you know you can

226
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.559
get some on Amazon. You can
get some Jiffy pop popcorn. But they're

227
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.519
nine dollars each. It's just for
the novelty. Yeah, they still make

228
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.400
it, but they do it for
the novelty. You know what's funny,

229
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.200
man, Jiffy pop popcorn. I
think that's what made it easy for crackheads

230
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.839
to make their own crack at home. I mean, that's the whole thing,

231
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.480
the whole thing, you know,
keep it over the fire. So

232
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.759
it's crazy. The prices are crazy. Let's let's let's take some of the

233
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.799
bad things that happen. First of
all, the long lines on Fridays.

234
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.200
If that shop was small, the
lines were long, Oh dude. Yeah.

235
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.759
And then if you got two or
three movies. Here's the funny thing.

236
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.039
I remember us running three to five
movies, but because it gets late

237
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.759
in the night, you start getting
sleepy, you don't watch them, and

238
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.480
then the next day you'd have to
return a movie or two that you just

239
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.559
didn't watch. You remember that.
Yeah? But you know what, Bro,

240
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.960
all I have to say is like
me and you were a different age.

241
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.640
So when back in the early eighties
when we were right in movies,

242
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.799
you were a kid. You had
to go to bed early. Correct,

243
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.559
couldn't stay up even if you were
at a summer party. No, I

244
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.480
actually couldn't know. My parents actually
let me stay up late on weekends.

245
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.519
Another one of the bad things was
late fees. You remember late fees?

246
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.960
Yes, dude, that was a
bit. Did they not charge us the

247
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.079
same amount of the movie and we
didn't get to see it? Right?

248
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:26.640
And how about this when you got
like a forty five or fifty cent charge

249
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.880
for not rewinding the tape. Oh, that was a bunch of crap.

250
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.839
Bro, Didn't you hate that?
I would blame my friends. The memories

251
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:40.839
are just countless about going to video
stores nineteen eighty five. What happens in

252
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:47.200
ter Blockbuster video? Imagine the perfect
video store. It would have a great

253
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.559
right over, ten thousand videos,
three evening rounds, so no rush,

254
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.799
no hassle, wenty four hour quickdrop, return to open late every night.

255
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:11.920
Well, the perfect video store the
country, there's one near you now.

256
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:18.119
When Blockbuster came out and cancer of
it all, well as as a consumer,

257
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.319
as a movie buff back then,
it was probably the greatest thing that

258
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.799
could ever have happened to us.
Why because now we got more choices.

259
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.720
I prefer mom and pop shops of
course, damn straight, damn straight mom

260
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.440
and the pop, of course,
one hundred percent. But that seat now

261
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.359
as an adult, because when I
was a kid, all I care it

262
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.759
is, Look, this mom and
pop shop only has three copies of my

263
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.279
movie, and it's never there.
You spoiled. And here's here's this big

264
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.440
store that has ten copies of my
movie. That's where I'm going to.

265
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:51.480
Now Now that I'm an adult,
of course I prefer the mom and pop

266
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.680
shop for many obviously, thank you
for coming back to the real world.

267
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.240
You spoiled adolescent. I hope your
parents never took you now, how right?

268
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.079
I can't tell you this that Blockbuster
or Hollywood Video or any other video

269
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:11.640
store that was ginormous would never compare
to the feeling and the experiences that we

270
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.240
had going to the smaller mom and
pop shop. Now, wait a minute,

271
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.319
don't now descanoll. I am quickly
to jump on the offensive with you,

272
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.039
as you could tell when you'll listen
back to everything I said, and

273
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.000
I will stand by everything I said
when you were talking. I won't stand

274
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.519
away and say I didn't say that
because I know you're recorded and started hating.

275
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.359
No, no, no, brother
Dick haters not here, but obviously

276
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:41.599
rich hater is here because he is
denouncing. Well remember going to Blockbuster?

277
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.200
Oh no, no, well that
was in nineteen eighty five. You are

278
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.720
you with me? Yeah, go
ahead, we're all together so far that

279
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.559
Nan and Robin. Yeah, Christ
you get so powerful with that Batman posted

280
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.440
behind Well, it's actually, ah, it's a little blanket. That's what

281
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.759
it is. For those of you
who are wondering what we're talking about,

282
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:02.920
We're talking about a little blanket that
has Batman on it in the studio here.

283
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.279
Now, let's go back to Blockbuster. Okay, Now, Blockbuster actually

284
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:14.839
stole the theme of fresh Blockbuster comes
out of nineteen in the store where Blockbuster

285
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:22.319
actually sold bags of popcorn to their
customers. Blockbuster actually capitalized on the vibe

286
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:29.000
of the old mom and pop video
store, offering the bright lights, the

287
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:34.720
movie posters for a dollar right at
the front, the Christmas lighting in plastic

288
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:41.960
rapening around each movie, and the
bright lights of the walk in theater.

289
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.640
They did do a lot of business
practices that put them out of business.

290
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.680
Frankly, however, as a consumer, look, as a consumer and as

291
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.319
a kid, you didn't care for
that you were you had no idea.

292
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.240
I had no idea. So the
idea of going into a place where they

293
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:03.920
had popcorn, they had das and
candy snack combos. I mean to me,

294
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:08.079
it was great. But do you
not agree Blockbuster stole upon that Hollywood

295
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:17.559
video took the realm of what we
knew as home installed it. A lot

296
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.720
of people did complain because they said, oh, well, you know that

297
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.559
little section on the back that has
that little curtain day, don't be looking

298
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.720
for me back there to Scott and
White swear you didn't see me, did

299
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:33.440
you? That? Section isn't isn't
available at any of Blockbusters or at Hollywood

300
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.799
Video. I found that to be
a rip off. I didn't like that.

301
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.680
Well, listen up, we're gonna
take a little break when we come

302
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.880
back. There's more nonsense with Toscano
and Chang on the one in only Back

303
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:51.279
to the Eighties Radio. What I
want to know is, why are the

304
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.759
only funny lines on this show the
ones behind me day by palas Tskano and

305
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.720
Chang went to school in the eighties
and that was cool. But now they're

306
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.759
going back. That's right, and
you can tag along with Back to the

307
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.599
Eighties Radio. Sanuel breaks the price
barrier on videocasset recorders with our Price Breaker

the video station stores and now back to

314
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.160
the eighties with Tiscano and Chay.
This is the one and only back to

315
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.119
the eighties radio. This is Ciscano
from the Madness of Tiscano and Cheng.

316
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:51.880
Here if you just joined us,
we are talking about renting videos and movie

317
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.680
rentals and movie rental locations back in
the eighties. The very first VCRs hit

318
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.359
the market in nineteen seventy five.
I've chang and it was a decade the

319
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.279
seventies. The start off was a
decade of convenience, and the video cassette

320
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:11.279
was certainly that. Now jump over
to the eighties, where now we have

321
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.519
the wonders of being able to rent
a movie. Go to that shop and

322
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.519
did you ever go to these shops
and they didn't have the movie that you

323
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.400
wanted, so you had to just
roam around the store and then you settled

324
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.799
for some obscure, cheesy, scary
movie. I mean, we've all heard

325
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:37.079
of the movie The Candy Man,
for example, But there's no there's been

326
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.200
worse, you know. I remember
having to choose something else and then you

327
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.720
get home and you look at your
video and it says Killer Clowns from Outer

328
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:49.119
Space a great movie. And don't
you talk about that movie, that's one

329
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:55.000
of my favorites. It was very
very common or something else at these shops.

330
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.640
It was very common at these shops
to rent video equipment because sometimes people

331
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.559
needed to have a VCR and they
would rent you a VHS recorder. Yes,

332
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.799
yes, I remember those days.
Or if you needed a certain connection,

333
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.039
they would rent you that certain connection. Yeah, remember that one connection

334
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.640
where you could plug your VCR into
your vehicle? Do you remember that?

335
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.680
No, I didn't know you could
plug it into your vehicle. Yes,

336
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:26.960
you didn't know that, Yes,
but it was only audio. Obviously you're

337
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:32.000
talking nineteen eighteen or something like that. I don't you better watch yourself right

338
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:34.240
now there, don't remember that that
man is not protect you. I will

339
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:40.240
jump over this counter and I will
climb in your face for you to take

340
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:47.519
the uproading and condemn my mom and
pop movie stores and my cheesy movies that

341
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:51.680
I liked. Well, let's continue
talking about these movie places. And so

342
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.920
obviously you're not a fan of either
Motel hell, motel hell. Yeah,

343
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.599
yeah, yeah, you're obviously you're
not a fan of Blockbuster and you're not

344
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:07.480
a fan of Hollywood Video. Brother, I didn't say that. Yeah,

345
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.680
you wait, a minute. I
told the audience that with your negativity and

346
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:17.480
the tone of your voice, I'm
not condemning Blockbuster Hollywood. I'm not at

347
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:22.279
all. I'm just merely saying they
stole the essence of the mom and top,

348
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:30.279
mom and pop flavor, the mom
and pop scenario of movie rentals that

349
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.240
we had in the early eighties.
That's all I'm saying. I'm not a

350
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:38.680
hater. Let's talk about the different
sections that they had at these the smaller

351
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.519
locations for example. And now you're
gonna make fun of me because I was

352
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.799
behind the curtain. Is that where
we're going yet? No, I'm not

353
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.920
going there. But how about do
you remember they had a whole section of

354
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.599
horror? Oh yeah, and yes, I would say nine of those movies

355
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.599
they were Yeah, they were like
b or C rated movies. Yes,

356
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.319
yeah, it's the kind of movies
you wouldn't even see on sci fi.

357
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.319
So those are the kind of movies
they would show, like late at Night

358
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:10.440
with Elvira, where like Wow,
She's hot metal eighties. Yes, ery

359
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.759
we like bunk movies. They were
like the Yeah, they were like the

360
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:19.799
movie catalog of like movies that,
like you, you wouldn't even guess at

361
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.640
a couple of high schools would film
something that crappy. True. Yeah,

362
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.400
it was the type of movies kind
of like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,

363
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:33.319
Yes exactly. Do you remember that
Pulhead something of that nature, Yes,

364
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:38.839
exactly, And yes, I remember
there was there was always a movie in

365
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:44.680
the horror section. Now, granted, I'm talking about where in the eighties

366
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.200
going to these movie stores, but
not all these movies are from the eighties.

367
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.039
There was a lot of movies from
the seventies at these places that you'd

368
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.759
have to get stuck with sometimes.
Well, yeah, and I remember there

369
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:56.680
was always a video in the horror
section that nobody wanted to rent because you

370
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.440
could see it on Elvira, Mistress
of the Dark. I loved her.

371
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.599
And that was Death Race two thousand. Remember that year two thousand. America

372
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.559
is a vast speedway. People lying
the streets to witness the greatest drivers on

373
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.960
earth in a race from seas and
shining Sea. It is a death race.

374
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:19.240
You finished first or not at all. Death Race two thousand. Every

375
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:30.920
car a deadly weapon, every spectator
a potential point. It's a cross country

376
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:38.759
road wreck, and the traffic is
murder. Who are you anyway, best

377
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:45.640
Driver Runner, I want you to
die. He was built by the world's

378
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.160
finest surgeons to drive the fastest car
ever designed, and nothing can stop him.

379
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:56.559
Now, Death Race two thousand rated
r oh Man. That movie was

380
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:06.599
like, dude, yes, David
Karradine, Oh, dude, David karradin

381
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:11.680
Yes, who could forget Kung Foo? And there were titles titles there,

382
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.240
movie titles then you'll never forget.
Some of them were cheesy. Like like

383
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.640
I said, the majority of the
movies there that were really good, they

384
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:25.279
were always rented. Now, when
you come that movie alone, that movie

385
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.599
is like when you look at a
punk porno and you're like, wow,

386
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.920
these guys cannot only not act,
but they're not sexually endeavoring at all.

387
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.359
That movie alone. I knew you
were gonna mention that movie because it was

388
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:45.599
like Man sly Stone and David Karradine. You can get rocky with Kung Foo

389
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:51.319
and all of a sudden, I've
got diarrhea halfway through the movie just because

390
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.240
the movie. Maybe that was sick. Are you not agreeing with me,

391
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.960
my brother? It was it was
just bad. It was just a tree.

392
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:00.920
Wait a minute, let me throw
this at you, brother, and

393
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:06.000
I'm sure you're gonna agree. I'm
sure you are. Uh. Now,

394
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:11.000
I'm gonna say one named mel Gibson
Mad Max, the very first one.

395
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.480
Are you ready? Than the very
first one? You see? We're on

396
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:21.839
the same now, bro, Bro, Bro, you know what I knew.

397
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.799
I had to bring it up because
I thought I would be rich or

398
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.400
Dick Hayter. But you nailed it. Yeah, yeah, and it was

399
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:34.559
always there. Nobody wanted to rent
it after all because you knew thee Yeah,

400
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:41.039
dude, his acting sucked. They
had some badass cars, chicks kind

401
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.640
of sexy but scary, kind of
like a chicks dress like a Rannon video,

402
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.160
remember, you know Rian she like
she's like, oh sexy, but

403
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.880
like, man, I get that
chicken now, and she gonna beat my

404
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.160
ass and take my money. Mad
Max was surely Yeah, one of the

405
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.119
worst movies we could get at any
rent store. Do you not agree?

406
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.440
Brother? Yeah? And the interesting
thing is Matt Max has like a cult

407
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:07.759
following. Dude. Can you believe
that? Yeah, that we're on you

408
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.440
know now we're taking it back?
Yeah, can you believe they have a

409
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:16.319
cult following for that movie? Yeah? I need here's another title. I'm

410
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:21.960
gonna throw at you because when we
rented this, I remember when it first

411
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.319
came out of a video that I'm
about to mention we rented it. We're

412
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:31.640
very excited because Harrison Ford was in
it. Bro When when Blade Runner came

413
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.039
out, oh stop it, I
was like, what the heck did I

414
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:42.960
just watch? I didn't understand a
thing about Blade Runner, And a matter

415
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:46.119
of fact, with the remake,
the remake of Blade Runner, I still

416
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:53.039
couldn't understand it. Now now that
I'm an adult, I'm kind of nervous

417
00:32:53.079 --> 00:33:08.640
when I take tests. I've got
four skin jobs walking the streets, walking

418
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:14.079
the street. They're either a benefit
or a hazard. They're a benefit.

419
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:23.240
It's not my problem, not my
problem. I'm Rachel Deckard. Have you

420
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:37.480
ever retired a human by mistake?
A mistake by mistake? No? I

421
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.480
need the old blade running right Runner? This is a bad, bad How

422
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.880
can it not know what it is? If only you could see what I've

423
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.000
sumed, you might have seen what
I've seen. More human than human is

424
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.160
almotto. When I watched Blade Runner, I was like, son of a

425
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.039
bit, this guy needs to go
back with a Wookie and like make a

426
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:00.720
name for himself. But you know, the funny thing. Blade Runner was

427
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.000
a crash, a boom a blang, right, just like Harrison Ford's a

428
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:10.000
pilot career in our last past ten
years. A guy camp Why he crashes

429
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:16.920
that movie? I cannot understand.
Then, Now you could give me an

430
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:22.199
intro to Blade Runner, and I
will still think I don't get the content

431
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.280
and it has most points. Now
I'll mention some more titles for you from

432
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.679
them from these local mom and pops, hit them, hit hit me,

433
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.679
and some of them you like and
some of them you are. Do you

434
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:39.320
remember the Dark Crystal that was also
always available at the mom and pop shops

435
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:50.679
in a place outside time lies a
mystical realm of sound and vision, a

436
00:34:50.840 --> 00:35:08.920
wondrous civilization. We're good and even
struggle to possess the Dark Crystal. Yes,

437
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:13.679
I watch out with by h missus
Chagan. That will be sucked,

438
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:17.719
but she's not listening. She liked
it, but it's sucked. How about

439
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:25.599
Pan's Labyrinth with David Bowie try Star
Pictures announces the collaboration of three extraordinary talents.

440
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:32.159
Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets
and Dark Crystal, Please you what

441
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:45.679
I hate like that? George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga,

442
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:58.760
and one of the most innovative forces
in modern entertainment, David Bowie. Together

443
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.679
they will take you in to a
dazzling world of fantasy and adventure. There's

444
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:09.119
nothing to be afraid of, a
world where anything seems possible and nothing is

445
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:20.199
what it seems. Everything I've done, I've done for you. I Moveless

446
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:38.280
Stars was no fun. The World
a labyrinth? No you not Wait a

447
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:43.000
minute, No, you're gonna think
that movie suck, right, You probably

448
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:45.480
think it sucked. But me being
well, it's not that I think it

449
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:47.559
sucked. I like the fact that
David Boye was there and that he got

450
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.119
to sing. But the movie made
no sense. It was creepy, it

451
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.599
was weird, and I enjoyed.
I enjoyed it me. So did I

452
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.480
enjoyed it. It was just I
enjoyed it me, probably because I'm a

453
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.400
rocker and I'm all about the music. As you can tell people out there

454
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:07.159
listening. You've seen my picture,
you know I'm all about. David Bowie

455
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.199
is one of my favorite, most
favorite talents that God ever created. So

456
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.800
I have to back up. I
did enjoy that movie. I did enjoy

457
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:20.079
his acting. I like the look
that they gave him in fashion. I

458
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:23.199
enjoyed that movie. Sorry bro,
So no, don't say sorry. I'm

459
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:28.199
glad that you enjoyed it. I'm
glad. How about this, I am

460
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:31.400
a dj. I am on a
play. Fact that he was holding a

461
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:35.400
baby in his arms as he was
singing. Remember that scene, now,

462
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:38.039
Tiscano, That's one part I was
hoping you would bring up because back in

463
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:42.960
that day, I also was holding
a baby because I was a very young

464
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.159
father at twenty years old. So, yes, you rock and roll and

465
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.639
we're talking about we are back to
the eighties and I was a single dad

466
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.440
in nineteen eighty seven, ladies.
So what other experiences were really cool?

467
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:58.119
Well, of course, part of
those experiences was when you got there getting

468
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:01.400
the popcorn and the candy and the
snack complish. Now, what was your

469
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.639
favorite candy to buy at the video
store? Tiscano. You're yeah, I'm

476
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:43.559

guys that likes popcorn with hot cheetos?

individuals like my daughters due no, he

478
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:52.280

481
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.599
were I like? The ones that
that had like it was chocolate, a

482
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.159
little chocolate ball, but inside it
was like a cookie. What was the

483
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:15.280
name of that? Can't you remember? Are you talking? Whopper? Whoppers?

484
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:20.480
I loved whoppers, Dude, Whopper. I still love whoppers. Going

485
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:24.400
to the I'll go now to a
walk in well when it opens with COVID.

486
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:30.840
Of course I love I love whoppers, bro, they are killer.

487
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:36.239
Now what was your favorite candy when
you walked into a video store to yet?

488
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.280
Now, I'm going to say you
were quite the liquorice. No,

489
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:45.800
I hated liquorice. I hated yeah
right on Fi pop on the screen MP.

490
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.840
No liquorice. I hated licorice.
No, I could tell you.

491
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:54.639
Usually when I watched the movie,
it was just plain and simple popcorn.

492
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.800
And if it was at the theater, of course that's a different story because

493
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:05.159
it had to be popcorn, nachos
and a hot dog. About this one

494
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:08.280
brother, dude, who could forget
the joy of a cracker jack? And

495
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:15.760
you get a toy inside. Sometimes
the toy sucked you ever get it box,

496
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.639
bro, and they're all stuck to
the box. Yeah, And then

497
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.400
you you get a card and you're
like, what kind of toy is this?

498
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:27.880
And then you're pissed off because all
the cracker Jacks are like stuck to

499
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:30.360
the side of the box. So
you got to dig the whole top off

500
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:35.679
and people are looking at you like
you're making too much noise with your cracker

501
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:39.440
cats and you only got a little
card. Remember that. No, My

502
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:45.760
favorite toy get this was a yeah
finger a finger puppet, right, and

503
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.880
you can make it do flip flops, yes, on a gymnastic bar and

504
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:53.639
all you had to do was like
press it with one so some of the

505
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:59.199
thing. Remembering the little figure would
like a get and he would like go

506
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:01.719
around the horn and you could just
sit there for hours and that little guy

507
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:05.880
would flip and flip and flip and
flip. My favorite toy that came in

508
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:10.239
a Crackerjack box was one time that
I got a magnifying glass and it was

509
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:15.480
fantastic because I started burning everything inside. Anyway, if you just joined us,

510
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:20.400
or if you're part of the younger
crowd, it's one of those experiences

511
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:24.440
that you can only imagine, whether
it be gen Z or if you're a

512
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:30.400
millennial that just didn't have the opportunity
in the early early eighties to go out

513
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.840
and experience what it was to rent
those videos and to and to you know

514
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:37.719
what, I'll tell you one of
my favorite things going to the mom and

515
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:44.880
pop shops was the way that you
established friendships with the owners of the stores

516
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.239
or the employees of the stores.
You remember that, Yeah, something that

517
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:52.360
we truly miss nowadays. Bro.
I think in every aspect of customer service,

518
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:58.480
you know, the friendship feeling at
home, you know what I mean

519
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:01.800
to where you walk into one of
these stores and they knew you. They

520
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.159
kind of had a feeling of the
movies that you may like, and they

521
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.679
would always tell you, Hey,
I got this movie in maybe you might

522
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:12.559
like to check it out. We
checked it out and they would give you

523
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:17.000
kind of a description of that,
you know that is definitely missed nowadays.

524
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:21.599
Now, trip out of this,
my brother. Now, before I left

525
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:27.119
Southern California, when I was residing
in Lahabra, there was weekends that I

526
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.639
would go down to a video store, Yes, brother, a video store.

527
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:37.199
It was one of very few in
my neighborhood. And they were renting

528
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:42.840
movies to me and my wife and
my daughters for a dollar fifty and it

529
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:47.880
had all the smells, sounds,
bolls, and whistles of that of nostalgic

530
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:53.920
video store quality. And their names
were mister and missus Quam. They were

531
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:59.679
Korean. I don't know if they're
there because it's been quite a bit since

532
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:06.239
I lived in lahabre in Southern California, But anybody out there, along with

533
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:10.920
your boulevard and beach Boulevard, right
behind a Winter Wolves Donut and a Jack's

534
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:15.639
Donut place, there's a place.
It's called the video outlet. If you

535
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:21.679
want to capture the essence of what
me and Tiscono are talking about, please,

536
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:25.880
if they're still there, visit that
and you will feel and breathe everything

537
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.079
me and my partner are talking about. Tisconno. I got some movies there,

538
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:35.199
and you're gonna trip because, yes, you like to make fun of

539
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:38.800
me, I'm older than you.
Correct, I'm not making fun of you,

540
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:46.199
Okay, just simply alluding to the
fact that because of certain ages that

541
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.400
there may be certain likes and dislikes
that are different. Okay, now get

542
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.119
this very diplomatic. Now. One
time we were out there and I found

543
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.039
my own Beata machine. That's right, bro, Okay, you're ready,

544
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:06.800
hold on a batman. I found
my Beta machine in storage and I went

545
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.199
to this video store and they had
a Beta movie, okay, and it

546
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:17.519
was Fast Times at Richmond High.
So I'd say I've been gone three years.

547
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.440
The very last year I was there, I watched on Beta in my

548
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:27.000
house before the papers were signing to
get rid of it and my kids were

549
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.920
all gone. I watched Fast Times
at Richmond High on Beta, and I

550
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:36.079
gotta tell you, broun experience.
It was an experience. But the sad

551
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:39.039
part is like my kids were gone, the wife was in Arizona at the

552
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:45.280
time, so I captured all the
essence of what I felt back in the

553
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:51.960
AIDA's in my own home for the
last time on Beta on a fifty six

554
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.519
inch TV and it was great.
It was wow. Yeah. And you

555
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.960
see. And so to the younger
audiences, they're not going to know that

556
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.679
ever had Yeah, that never had
that experience. Here's what I would do,

557
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:07.599
believe it or not. Here in
Orange County. I just I'll have

558
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.760
to look for it. But there
is a video store. Believe it or

559
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:15.800
not, there is a video store
and it is open. It's a it's

560
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.000
a mom and pop shop. And
the fancy name of the store is called

561
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.199
video store. Believe it. It's
just called video store. Wow, which

562
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:28.840
amazes me because it's got everything.
I mean, you look at it.

563
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:31.800
I passed by at night and I
saw this. It was like eight or

564
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:36.519
nine o'clock at nine and it's still
open and I see two or three cats

565
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:40.519
in there just looking around at VHS
tapes. I'm going, this is phenomenal.

566
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.320
I gotta I gotta come back at
night. Yes, and I never

567
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.239
did, and I forgot where it
is, but I'll have to look for

568
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:52.599
it. But it's here in southern
California. No Jacoto. You remember it

569
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:58.880
was about a year ago. Remember
when I went to Missouri to go visit

570
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:01.440
my daughter who had newly resided out
there with my son in law. Do

571
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:05.079
you remember when I went on that
trip, Yeah, I do, Row,

572
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.840
I don't. I don't know if
you recall me and my wife and

573
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:12.559
my daughter and my son. We're
all cruising around. They took us,

574
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:15.599
I mean everywhere out there. I
went to. Man, it was great

575
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:22.400
visiting uh ye, Missouri. But
there was a video store bro that we

576
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:28.400
we we uh came upon and it
was so reminiscent of video stores in the

577
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:32.239
eighties. As a matter of fact, we rented movies from that video store.

578
00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:37.719
We got a free bag of popcorn, a grab bag of candy,

579
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:44.599
we got a cracker jack box,
and we also got a free movie rental.

580
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:49.119
And you know what movie I picked? Are you ready? Yeah?

581
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:57.280
Fast Times a Ridge one High Motel. Hell. So, I'm assuming the

582
00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:00.760
movie rentals were on vhs. They
were not dv you know, they were

583
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:04.280
all vhs. Bro, they did
have DVDs, but at the time,

584
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:08.559
we were so caught up in the
moment. And uh my son in law

585
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:15.559
he does that for a living.
He messes around with U editing and all

586
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:22.320
types of recordings and and all kinds
of technology. And we ended up watching

587
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:28.079
that movie on VHS at his house. Which later we ended up running from

588
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:32.880
that place a reel to reel and
we got to watch a Yes, dude,

589
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:38.960
we got to watch an old classic
movie on real to real bro Withering

590
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:44.440
Heights, which is my wife,
yes favorite movie. So our trip to

591
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:47.239
h Missouri. I have to tell
you, it's funny that we're talking about

592
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:55.840
this subject tonight, but dude,
that was some captivating h film experience that

593
00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:01.000
I had not experienced in a long
time. And to know that the nostalgia

594
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:06.920
wise, like we watched a VHS
movie and then we watched something on real

595
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.880
the real and to know that the
essence of what it was like is still

596
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:16.800
out there in parts of America is
freaking beautiful. Yeah. And as a

597
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:22.320
matter of fact, there is of
course, everybody in the United States should

598
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:29.559
know that the very last remaining Blockbuster
video is there, and it is in

599
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:34.119
Oregon, so if you're interested in
finding out. As a matter of fact,

600
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:37.760
it's funny because on Netflix they have
the special called the very Last Blockbuster,

601
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:40.360
Right, And I learned something.
I learned something from this video.

602
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:44.480
A lot of people think that Netflix
put Blockbuster out of business, and it

603
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:49.239
wasn't the case. It wasn't the
case. It was just bad. They

604
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.360
had hired a new CEO and he
pretty much ran them into the ground.

605
00:48:52.519 --> 00:49:00.239
As a matter of fact, Blockbuster
had the opportunity to buy Netflix for pens

606
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:04.559
on the dollar and they just started
they decided not to. But rumor has

607
00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:07.920
it that Blockbuster is going to be
making their way back, because there's still

608
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:12.239
a company called Blockbuster, and they're
gonna be making their way back, but

609
00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.599
this time it will be streaming.
I do want to encourage you guys though,

610
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:19.119
that if you do get a chance
and you find yourself a video store

611
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:23.039
somewhere, go go now. You
may not have a VCR. And unfortunately,

612
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:28.559
because of the you know, it's
been forty years, VCRs are very

613
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:32.440
expensive. You can buy VCRs on
eBay, you can buy VCRs on eBay,

614
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.920
you can buy them on Amazon,
but they're very expensive. And obviously,

615
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:42.320
believe it or not, there are
brand new VCRs out there, but

616
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.599
once again, very very expensive.
You know what, So, bro,

617
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:51.119
it's very reminiscent of when we did
the show about cassettes. Correct, and

618
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:57.960
now now you are presently getting the
equipment to hear cassettes in a different way

619
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:02.000
that we heard cassettes in the past. So you have that uh, that

620
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:09.960
love and and uh that respect of
sound in the back uh in our back

621
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.000
era. So I think the same
could be said with if you go out

622
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.360
there and you have a VCR unit
and you take care of it, or

623
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:22.480
if you buy something new, or
if you want to trip on nostalgia and

624
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:28.159
get a beta. There are companies
that sound, and if you do have

625
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:32.280
one and you get somebody that is
luckily can work on that equipment, you

626
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:38.119
can regain some of the beauty that
we all wants, uh enjoyed at one

627
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:44.199
time altogether. Correct. So yeah, and there's all kinds of ways that

628
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:47.960
you can go about getting some of
the nostalgia back in the eighties, uh

629
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:53.320
from DVD. You know, even
some DVD bro, you can kind of

630
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:59.079
get that to kind of feeling.
I'm sure you bran into a couple of

631
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:06.280
davas where it it kind of gives
you that feeling at that look of VHS

632
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:10.400
to way the way the movie moves
and screens, but it's not really the

633
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:15.639
same. Yeah, And and look
and when we talk about VHS rentals and

634
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:22.480
maybe going on the you know,
the quest to get yourself a VCR and

635
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.559
get some movies on there, it's
not because of the quality of the film.

636
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:29.480
But I'm also not going to condemn
it. I'm not going to tell

637
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:34.119
you, oh, VHS movies totally
sucked in quality, because at the time

638
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.840
they did not, and they were
they were. They had I remember we

639
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:42.719
had a Sony Trinitron TV which was
a very good picture, and we you

640
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:47.360
know, I bought uh The Empire
Strikes Back and by the way to watch

641
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:52.400
that, yeah, on VHS,
and also Return of the Jediah. By

642
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:55.639
the way, back then, the
movies were expect there were about one hundred

643
00:51:55.639 --> 00:52:00.679
dollars each back way back then,
and that's why we turned into renting movies.

644
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:07.880
So when we talk about movie renting
nowadays, and if you get a

645
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:12.599
chance, yeah, I want to
encourage you try it out for the experience,

646
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:16.880
just like Chang was saying, it's
an experience that we just don't have

647
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:22.400
anymore, but it is obtainable.
It's definitely a doable experience. So if

648
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.679
you get a chance to go ahead
and get yourself a VCR, get yourself

649
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:30.039
a couple of movies or more,
they're out there. They're definitely on eBay

650
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:36.639
and very very cheap, and still
you can get some with good quality exactly,

651
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:40.239
Bro. And as we are on
the in and out of the COVID

652
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:49.000
experience, it stands to reason that
maybe you want to spend more time with

653
00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:52.599
a family indoors right to Scotto,
that a lot of us are doing.

654
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:58.159
So this would probably be the premier
time for any of our listeners to go

655
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:04.039
out there and try to capital lies
on that feeling of of a good old

656
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:08.159
movie that you can rent something that's
you know, hey, you want to

657
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:10.760
you want to go to the old
garage, you want to go to the

658
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:15.239
storage, you want to go up
into the attic. You're gonna pull that

659
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:21.000
Beta out. You want to pull
that that old school VHS out and sometimes,

660
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:24.239
come on, I know some of
you out there having that that machine

661
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:30.480
that is the DBD and VHS worthy
to Scano, I'm sure you know,

662
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:36.119
because yeah, as I'm in the
dogho of the Chang, I won't lie

663
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:44.039
to you. I have a very
small eighteen inch television that are you ready

664
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.360
for this? Yeah? And you're
gonna think I'm a jerk. What kind

665
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:50.480
of grandpa am I? You're gonna
say that because I know you're holding on

666
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:53.239
the batman and don't judge me,
You're rotten monkey. But I have a

667
00:53:53.320 --> 00:54:00.239
TV right here, bro, eighteen
inches okay, screen colored. I could

668
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:07.960
put DVDs vhs and my grandchildren have
watched cartoons with me and we watched it

669
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:13.280
and we've laughed, and my granddaughter
has looked at me her south BoNT went

670
00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:16.119
off and go, whoa, this
is weak. Well, you know what

671
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:22.239
you mentioned something very important and that's
we had that experience, and so that's

672
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:27.159
what we want you to have and
to get that opportunity. Maybe not full

673
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:30.679
blown like we had it, just
different time, but if you can,

674
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:36.440
we want to encourage you to go
out there and just do your best to

675
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:40.840
watch some movies on VHS for the
experience. Get yourself some popcorn and get

676
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:45.639
some candy. Invite the whole family
or friends over when you when you're able

677
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:50.119
to, and put a movie on. Make sure that VCR has tracking because

678
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:52.880
just in case you need to need
to fix the tracking, but the movie

679
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:55.320
will look good. This is the
best time to do it, right now,

680
00:54:55.360 --> 00:55:01.920
Bro, the best time to do
it. You're listening to Back to

681
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:05.760
the eighties. Welcome back to the
eighties to radio. This is Tisconno from

682
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:08.400
Tiscanna win Chang reminding you guys to
stick around because next Friday we're going to

683
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:15.360
continue the talk of movie renting in
the eighties Next Friday. Don't miss it

684
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:22.519
because there's a lot more reminiscing where
that came from. This is the time

685
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:25.840
of the show where we talk about
what made us angry back in the nineteen

686
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:32.519
eighties. But in honor of the
most wondrous chang we've dubbed them changres.

687
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:39.039
So chang what made you changry back
in the eighties? Well, ladies and

688
00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:44.519
gentlemen, boys and girls, you
know what made me changry back in the

689
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:52.239
eighties? What's at about videos and
movie rentals beta against the HS I prefer

690
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:59.360
VHS BETA. Always felt like I
was getting reamed in prison for a movie

691
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:02.119
that was a little bit smaller.
And you know what got me chingering back

692
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:07.159
in the eighties when you went hoping
to get your movie and they were out,

693
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:12.039
so you were forced to get the
cheesiest, cheapest, crappiest movie they

694
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:16.199
had. You know it gets me
changry about movie rentals back in the eighties

695
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:22.480
that you brought up one of my
changries. That was my number two.

696
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:28.599
I could not stand going and waiting
and anticipating that I would get that movie

697
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:35.840
and they were gone, and I
had to get some cheap waky maybe three

698
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:40.599
strike two thumbs down, kind of
a carnival kind of movie. To Scotto,

699
00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:45.599
to Scotto, you know what got
me changry about renting movies in the

700
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:52.880
eighties? A twenty cent charge for
not recod those things? How could you

701
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:57.360
charge me money for not rewinding them? Do you know what got me chingry

702
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.079
back in the eighties with movie renting? When you rented three or four or

703
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:04.440
even five movies at a time,
the very next day you had to return

704
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.840
them. You went to the store
and you returned four because you're missing one

705
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:10.719
movie, you left it at home, and you had to pay extra the

706
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:15.679
very next day. And that,
ladies and gentlemen, has been this week's

707
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:19.760
chagres. If you have something that
made you angry or shall we call them

708
00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:22.880
chain grey back in the eighties,
go ahead and let us know through our

709
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:27.400
Facebook page by sending us a direct
message, and we'll do our best to

710
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:31.639
read it here during our chagree segment. So, Jay, we were talking

711
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:37.400
about movie rentals and renting videos at
mom and pop shops and Hollywood Video and

712
00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:40.960
Blockbuster. But as we mentioned to
you, before. As I mentioned to

713
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.519
you earlier, one of the things
that the big boys didn't have was that

714
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:51.679
little section way in the back that
mom and pop shops had, that little

715
00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:59.519
section with a little red curtain.
You remember that old And it's funny because

716
00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:05.000
a curt was from top to bottom
and you could still see you could still

717
00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:09.760
see people's legs underneath, so you
could see who is in there. You

718
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:14.239
know what, my brother, that's
a good changry. Who are you wating

719
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:16.960
that? That's a good changar?
God damn, Now, just got going

720
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:22.280
behind the curtain, because I don't
know if you did, but I was

721
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:27.320
a bit older than you, so
I was behind the curtain quite of a

722
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:30.880
lot of times. And I'm sure, yes, you know. The funny

723
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:34.880
thing is when you'd see somebody there, you go, wait a second,

724
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:38.360
I know those tennis shoes, and
you'd wait and it was somebody you knew.

725
00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:45.000
They always pretended they never watched that. Oh yes, yes, And

726
00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:49.800
you're like, what Debbie does jealous? I never read of this. This

727
00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:53.199
has been back to the eighties.
We've been talking about movie renting back and

728
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:57.559
the golden age of the eighties.
That's right, the golden age of the

729
00:58:57.559 --> 00:59:04.320
eighties where the experiences that we had
are just unmatched and unrivaled on behalf of

730
00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:07.480
Tuscano. I just want to wish
you the best week and asking you guys

731
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:13.360
not to forget to visit our Facebook
page and to join us next week as

732
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:17.880
there's more madness with Tuscano and Chang. So take care, be safe,

733
00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:22.800
and we'll see you next Friday.
Before I let you all go to another

bit normal, but we have to remember

00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:44.440
to take the precautions we should because
we are not of ourselves, we are

738
