Truly an oasis/jewel/sanctuary in the desert. In a world that's hellbent on destroying the sanctity of art, we have a surviving, thriving, real life video rental store. Keeping the dream alive, you'll find within, a Fort Knox vault of cinematic treasures. A cultural cornucopia of media for/from the big and small screen.

Complete with concessions for every taste, featuring the finest freshly popped popcorn. Home of the Trash Cinema collective. Den to the local Filmmakers Societies. We in Tallahassee and the Redhills are incredibly blessed to have this establishment. To say that places like Capital City Video Lounge are an endangered species is a grave understatement. Put a pause to your streaming queue and give physical media another go. You won't be...

While searching a group comes in and Kevin greets them but then asks if they're here for Elvira and that it's in the back in the theatre. He didn't tell me about the movie in the back! It was incredibly disheartening.
There's nothing worse than managers that treat people differently based on how shy they are. Tired of managers' bully mentality where you take advantage of...
