“Rex Manning Day.”
If you’ve ever worked at a record store (or a video store 👀), you KNOW the chaos of in-store celebrity appearances.
In this clip from our first episode of The VHS Club, we talk about the perfectly ridiculous brilliance of Rex Manning Day in Empire Records:
A washed-up 70s/80s idol.
A questionable haircut.
A desperate attempt to win over a younger crowd.
It’s awkward. It’s hilarious. It’s painfully real.
90s movies really understood retail trauma.
Full episode is live on The VHS Club. 📼
