Timmy Yoon 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 fight to stay relevant. The only way to succeed is to remind their community that they provide something big corporations can’t: human connection.
Ah, Blockbuster. I genuinely miss going to my local store every other weekend to rent the newest video game, and spending the entire week playing it and having the time of my life before the dreaded day when I ultimately had to return the game in the little metal door outside the building. There was something special about Blockbuster Video that nearly everyone seems to miss.
