    Redbox has a streaming service, too. I joined it only to subscribe to a single movie: Final Destination 3, which I found out while working through that series is only available on the platform for some reason while all of the other films are elsewhere.

      Yeah, I actually didn’t know that until I read the article. I generally don’t consider myself a good barometer of pop culture, I thought Cardi B was a Kardashian until like a year ago, but I still assume the fact that I’ve never heard of it is a bad sign. It’s so funny how one self-help book can bloom into an empire, and then poorly manage itself into bankruptcy by jumping on a trend like streaming, but doing it too late and poorly.
