Netflix Making a 'Last Blockbuster' Documentary Is the Meanest Move in Media History

HypeBeast — Netflix is officially dropping a documentary about the last ever Blockbuster video store. Titled, The Last Blockbuster, the film gives a nostalgic glimpse of the video store, featuring bevy of interviews from previous employees, fans and business people.

The documentary focuses on the last-ever remaining Blockbuster in the world in Bend, Oregon.

Man, you want to talk about a kick to the coin pouch. In what has to be one of the cruelest twists of the knife in media history, Netflix is premiering a documentary titled The Last Blockbuster next week.

Imagine being one of the people from Blockbuster responsible for not buying Netflix for $50 million when they had the chance. That is an unimaginable level of pain. At least Netflix is only worth about 4,500 times that now.

So now all these years later, Blockbuster has one store left in the middle-of-nowhere Oregon and Netflix is doing a cute little pity piece on the company it decimated like Khaleesi burning King's Landing to the ground. Not that Netflix hadn't already gotten all the revenge it could possibly exact and then some, but this is just the icing on the cold, cold cake.

I'm sure the Blockbuster executives are all living fine lives and went on to do other things, but if I had a 15-year head start on what is now one of the most valuable technology companies to ever exist and passed on the opportunity to acquire it for a measly $50 million, I'd never get over it. There wouldn't be a day for the rest of my life that I didn't think about how massively I fucked my life up. Hell, I think about the 2020 NLCS four times a week and I didn't even have anything directly to do with that.

Just pain.
