The tragedy of today's streaming era is that we lost the accidental discovery. The algorithm tells you what to watch based on what you already liked.

You had to talk to the clerk behind the counter who looked like they hadn't slept in three days. You thought to yourself they must have been watching so many movies getting to work at the best job ever. You had to risk your $3.50 on something weird because the new release wall was empty.

And sometimes, just sometimes, you found gold.
