‘Blockbuster’ is a workplace comedy about people connecting

Randall Park and Melissa Fumero co-star in the new workplace comedy “Blockbuster,” premiering Nov. 3 on Netflix. They play employees of the last remaining Blockbuster video rental store in the world, located in a small Michigan town where brick-and-mortar stores are forced to close due to the convenience of online shopping. Park plays Timmy, the store’s de facto owner who is committed to bringing people into the store and the idea of connection. Fumero is Eliza, who has returned to work at her former high school job now that her daughter is grown. She’s looking to form her own identity.
