My point, in case you’re wondering if I’ll ever get to it, is that even for a physical media junkie such as myself, the actual NEED for physical media is waning, which is good for me, because space in my apartment is such that too much of a preponderance of physical media will make life, specifically married life, very uncomfortable. In any case, I was mistaken, because between Netflix and Amazon Prime, two streaming sources to which I subscribe, I was able to get everything I needed, even an obscurity like the early Brian DePalma picture “The Wedding Party.” Not that finding a video store to join is easy nowadays (although I am lucky enough to live near a good one, Video Free Brooklyn). When I first set out writing a book on the filmography of Robert De Niro a couple of years ago, I assumed I’d have to join a video rental store of hit up a library to see some of the more obscure stuff in the actor’s body of work. Streaming has certainly changed the game in a lot of ways.
There are, today, entire online organs devoted to covering all the action going on in streaming video. Man, if that guy were around now, he’d have a stroke.

“Watching TV is more complicated than ever,” I remember, in the early ‘80s, some pitchman averring on a spot advertising, what else, the magazine TV Guide, then the biggest periodical publication IN THE WORLD.
