Before streaming. Before algorithms. Before everything was instant… there was the video store. In this episode of Breaking Curfew , we rewind to a time when Friday nights meant a trip under fluorescent lights, walls lined with plastic cases, and the pressure of picking the right movie before someone else grabbed it first.
