Join Darwin and Cat as they rewind to the glorious, chaotic era of the neighborhood video store, when Friday night meant wandering fluorescent aisles of plastic cases and hoping the movie you wanted wasn't already checked out.
The Garbage Barge sails through the strange rituals of VHS culture: late fees, judgmental clerks, mysterious back-room curtains, and the eternal command to Be Kind, Rewind.
Along the way, Cat explains how a video store owner once denied her a rental card after a disastrous encounter, and Darwin reveals the truly questionable films he discovered on the discount rack. Plus, the small-town scandal that erupted over a stash of missing "naughty" tapes.
If you ever wandered the video aisles hoping that something, anything good would appear, this episode may unlock a few long-lost memories.
