Weekend Viewings: Downloaded + Rewind This!

Need some entertainment this weekend? Please allow me to make some recommendations:

• Downloaded - a documentary on the story of Napster, directed by Alex Winter. Not only is Napster culturally relevant to anyone using the Internet (that's you) but it's the perfect subject for a film because it has a clear start, middle and end to the tale. There's plenty of amazing footage of both the original team of developers and musicians speaking their mind about the landscape changes they were forcing on the world (Trent Reznor has a particularly enjoyable moment).
• Rewind This! - a documentary on the culture of VHS. This is another subject with a fairly clear start and finish. Though there are many that still, rightfully, hold on to the allure of the video cassette tape. Lots of amusing characters, absurd clips and proper explanation of the cultish personalities involved. Oh, and that poster is unbelievable.

Both films come with plenty of exclusive bonus material, so please keep that in mind when pondering price points.

These are, of course, powered by VHX. We also launched a new watch experience so it's even more pleasant to view any of our offerings now! Enjoy.
