Yes, we were around in the days of Blockbuster. It was fun to go with your parents to the store and pick out what movie you were going to watch. If you couldn’t find it on the shelves, you’d have to beg the worker to look in the returns.
The store was like a library for movies and we loved the power that you would feel holding that card in your hand.
So a series about Blockbuster? A series entitled Blockbuster? Well, we have to admit that we’ll be watching this. We hope that it’s going to make us laugh out loud funny.
In this new series, “Timmy Yoon (Randall Park) Is an analog dreamer living in a 5G world. And after learning he is operating the last Blockbuster Video in America, Timmy and his staff employees (including his long-time crush, Eliza (Melissa Fumero) fight to stay relevant. The only way to succeed is to remind their community that they provide something big corporations can’t: human connection.”
Randall Park, Melissa Fumero, Tyler Alvarez, Madeleine Arthur, Olga Merediz, JB Smoove, and Kamaia Fairburn star in the Netflix show. Blockbuster will premiere on the streaming service, November 3rd.
