Charity shops and street markets are an alternative also. The locals will be able to recommend loads of vinyl options if you're after that. Reply.

It’s the early 1950s, and entrepreneur Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton) stands in front of a vacant real estate lot just a few blocks from his suburban Illinois home. After a few moments, Ray kneels down and takes a handful of dirt from the lot and begins turning it over inside of his hand. Finally, he looks up at the heavens and pleads, “Please, let this be right,” before throwing the dirt back onto the ground.
This is one of the moments that The Founder, the latest film from director John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks, The Blind Side), keeps coming back to multiple times throughout its story, since it’s the moment where Kroc finally takes the plunge fully into his final entrepreneurial endeavor - turning two Californian brothers’ restaurant into a nationwide franchise. It just so happens that said restaurant was none other than McDonald’s, which thanks to Kroc’s lofty goals ended up becoming the most successful fast food chain in the world.
It’s also in that moment where The Founder’s biggest problems are most obvious because it’s very clear that Hancock and Co. want you to be rooting for Ray’s success when he picks up that handful of dirt, and it’s not necessarily hard to see why either. After all, Ray’s literally bet everything he has on the success of that Illinois McDonald’s, including putting his own home up for collateral in order to get a large enough loan from the bank to pay for it. Having spent an entire lifetime being rejected by those he’s asked to believe in him, why wouldn’t you want him to succeed?
The Founder acts as yet another powerful acting showcase for both Michael Keaton and Nick Offerman, and shines an interesting light into the untold history of one of the world’s most iconic corporate institutions, even if it lacks the conviction to leave the audience with the kind of gut punch that its story deserves.
