Before streaming, before DVR… there was the VCR. In this episode of Free Nights and Weekends, Scott and Jason dive into the golden age of VHS—when families dropped $800 on a machine nobody knew how to program, video store shelves were packed with questionable titles, and “Be Kind, Rewind” wasn’t optional.

From mall purchases in OKC to the chaos of early video rental shops, this episode tells the story of the moments that made movie night feel like an event.
