About

The brain child of VHS collector Adam Pope, Rental Return interviews former video rental store employees about their experience during the glory days of VHS, Betamax, and DVD. Different "Video Heroes" are included with each season for perspectives from all eras of video rental store history.

The first two season feature a multi-interview audio experience produced by Jason Gross of The Retro Network. Season 3 has transitioned to a one-on-one interview format. Preview and Rewind episodes for each season feature Adam, Jason, and VHS guru Chad Young discussing their VHS collecting experience.
