00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: it stores on the weekend.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: It's a little fanfare. Did you know about that?

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 3: I didn't even know there was one left? Where was it?

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: Film Club?

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: It was in Darlinghurst and it had tens of thousands

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: of members on its books, and the owner, Ben Kenny

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: said hundreds, perhaps up to thousands were active.

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: So it's still rentingd Do you have a DVD player?

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I go about four of them.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 3: Oh that's because you're you most still don't.

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: I collect them? You know, the old ones i've got.

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: I want to chuck them out because I think, well,

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: one day I might use this TVD technology.

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: I've still got video. I've still got two video players

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: just in case you never know.

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: Mister Kenny said. Film Club was Sydney's last remaining video

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: rental store. There used to be an association that kept

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: track of these things, but that folded in twenty sixteen.

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: So even the association that kept track to video stores

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff that's folded.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: Who would have thought, remember the days of Blockbuster, You

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 3: go to Nice you got video store.

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: Was the greatest thing.

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: And remember every corner of where there was a corner

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: shop that got replaced by a video store.

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: So where are the owners of a video store? What

29
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: did they move into?

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: They must have there would have been someone that said, right,

31
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to get onto this by the video store.

32
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: See this guy here, Ben Kenny with the store. He

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: bought it in twenty eleven, so clearly it was on

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: the decline, but he thought he did it more as

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: a community service. He's and it's great to see that

36
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: he did that.

37
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: But the people that brought into them in the early days,

38
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: when they saw the writing on the wall to they

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: then go and buy those baby shops that you see
