“Video rentals in immigrant families and communities were kind of an essential element of the American experience,” Randall Park tells NBC News. “It was a way to learn about America.”
Nov. 4, 2022, 1:27 AM UTCRandall Park’s new show, which centers around the last remaining video rental Blockbuster store, is — in many ways — a perfect project for the actor.
In the series, Park plays manager Timmy Yoon, who attempts to keep his Blockbuster store in Michigan afloat amid a new era of thriving streaming services and social media apps that have increasingly pulled customers into a virtual world. . For Yoon, it’s a gargantuan task. But he’s up for the challenge in the name of preserving the camaraderie among his staff, and the human connection that the IRL service fosters.
“I missed the days of actually going somewhere, interacting with people and talking to the clerk about a movie, getting recommendations, and watching with your friends, because you paid this much to rent the movie,” Park said. “I do feel like we’re missing out on something that’s very essential to being human.”
