Blockbuster release date, cast, synopsis, photos and more

If you were wondering if the Netflix original is centered around a Blockbuster store, we’re here to tell you yes. Every ’90s kid knows how important Blockbuster was to their childhood. As a child, he dreamed of the day his parents would take him to a Blockbuster store and allow him to buy any movie or video game he wanted.

You could go to a Blockbuster store and rent just about any movie or video game you can think of. Of course, the atmosphere inside the store also played a part in the experience. Everyone seemed so happy all the time. Honestly, talking about Blockbuster brings me a sense of nostalgia.
