Hearing Splendido in Back to '76 was the highlight of the show for me.

"Oh, yeah...nothing but cameras..."
So this is the "get off of my lawn" stage of my life.  I'm not impressed.

I had a Kodak Handle instant cameras back in the day. Kodak lost a patent suit to Polaroid for their instant cameras and had to stop making film in 1986. Kodak ended up settling with their customers, giving out discounts on new non-instant cameras. They didn't require returning the cameras but without the Kodak film they're useless.

Although there are makers of retro Polaroid film there aren't any for the Kodak film.
