PETER SAGAL, HOST:
We want to remind everybody they can join us here most weeks at the Chase Bank Auditorium. For tickets and more information go to wbez.org, or you can find a link at our website, waitwait.npr.org. You can also find information about our upcoming show in Memphis, Tennessee, our debut in Memphis on December 19th.
Right now, panel, time for you to answer some questions about this week's news. Bobcat, this week we say goodbye to a treasured institution that to the very end, required you rewind your tapes before you returned them. Who closed their last remaining stores this week?
BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT: I'm so happy about this.
SAGAL: Are you?
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, I still have some Blockbuster fees.
SAGAL: Yes.

(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: You outlived them.
GOLDTHWAIT: I crushed them, actually. My lone Scott Baio collection, not returning them. I had all of "Charles in Charge" on VHS under my bed.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: But kids today probably don't believe that in the olden days you had to go to a store and rent a little box, which you took home and left next to your TV for a week until you realized that it just cost you 20 bucks to watch "Grease 2."
(LAUGHTER)
P.J. O'ROURKE: Those were the days.
GOLDTHWAIT: I'm taking this hit pretty hard because most of my movies opened at Blockbuster.
(LAUGHTER)
