“…browsing on most streaming services is dreary and soul-sucking. They haven’t been curated or laid out in ways that demonstrate a love of film, or even a basic respect for film history. Their algorithms aren’t designed out of a mutual human love of discovery, but to try to lock you in a continual loop of ingesting their product …Conversely, at a good video store, you have laid out in front of you film history across its many eras, regions, genres, and viewpoints… and it’s displayed with love, reverence, and individual human taste.”
