Here's a mundane but oddly captivating Blockbuster training video from the 1990s

Are You at Risk? Is a Blockbuster training video from 1990 that instructs employees on how to handle injuries in the store as well as how to help people who have come in contact with hazardous materials.

The nearly intolerable levels of mundanity in this safety video make it simultaneously interesting to me. The training video serves as a time capsule of an aesthetic and type of store that aren't around anymore.

In fact, there is only one Blockbuster left and it is located in Bend, Oregon. It has been dubbed "The Last Blockbuster."
