It is that the advent of streaming has made watching a movie in your own home more costly, more restricted and often incredibly annoying. As a millennial, I like to think I grew up in the golden era of film. And if you feel like watching an old classic, make sure you set aside plenty of time to find it. I just want to be able to rewatch a beloved film without helping Jeff Bezos buy another yacht. It’ll be easier than renting a film released then.
